Excellent place for the UFC Heavyweight Champion to be. Great lead in to the Lindsay Lohan trial and braless Britney at Starbucks.

Probably the most I’ve heard him talk in one sitting. Seemed to open up more than any interview/show I’ve seen him do

That’s sad for so many reasons.

It is weird isn’t it. Maybe it’s the type of audience

I mean, who wouldn’t LOVE to talk about the intricacies of mixed martial arts with Harvey Levin and his crew of flunkies?

I think because its a laid back chill setting. He even tweeted that “Everyone is really really cool.”

I remember last week's TMZ
where they featured Brock and his beard. They even dissed UFC’s marketing of Cain as the first Mexican champion and stressed that Cain was born in America. Dudes in TMZ are smart.

One more thing
I LOVE the belt. It’s freakin’ huge!

What was Levin talking about JDS and a controversial decision and still getting a title shot? He clearly beat Roy.
Either that
Or the Jake Shields fight that was the co-main event

Fav part of that fight is right after Brock does his Techno Viking dance and Cain pops off a precision 5-6 hit combo and then the knee. Brutal…

That knee was goddamn sickening.

same here
only when I tell it, I say “After Brock does a barrel roll, Cain calmly walks up to him and unleashes a six punch combo, punctuated by a knee from hell.”
I have a flair for the dramatic.
:)
How is that dramatic?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Uhhh, I'm not hating.

God I hate these people. I wanted to watch this, but I can’t. The only other time I’ve seen them was when they interviewed Huerta after the street justice beatdown. And they were just as irritating then.
What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

I don't understand the TMZ hate
Yeah they’re not the brightest MMA fans, they don’t know that much about the MMA scene, but at least they’re helping the sport. Whether you like it or not, TMZ is mainstream. Featuring fighters and giving them interviews will open up interest, especially to casuals.

brock wouldn’t do it.

Brock didn’t stop by the office for a 30 minute interview, but he’s responded to their on-street camera guys amicably a few times

I agree.
I never watch TMZ and pretty much despise it but I love that they are following MMA. It’s weird but there has to be some big fans of MMA that work for TMZ to cover it as much as they do.
Yep and a lot of females watch TMZ
It is a great way to reach people outside of the normal meat head sport fan demo
Cain is thinking...
“who are these fucking idiots”
"One should always be cold minded and remember that a ridiculous incident may occur any time."
That was the best interview I have seen Cain give.
The fact that TMZ got a better interview out of him than any MMA-centric interviewers, even Helwani, is interesting.

yeah good point
He’s more relaxed here than anywhere.
Maybe the fights over and the pressure is off.

Jds
Future champ people will start doubting his ground when Cain doesn’t wanna stand with him and he taps Cain out.

I can see it now a min of circling junior starts lighting him up Cain doesn’t like it takes him down deals a bit of GNP damage to Jds and then triangle choke of death Cain taps

Interesting as hell.
Cain really opens up and i really enjoy hearing his live-esque description of what happened.
My only complaint is that the interviewers really don’t know much about MMA. It would have been even better with some educated dudes interviewing Cain instead.
Nice one either way.
Oh, and i can’t stop watching the fight!!
Not because i “hate” Brock Lesnar like every cocky teenage asshole on the interwebz, but because the technical showing by Cain. The accuracy in his punches, the pressure, the controlled ground and pound, the combinations. Damn.
And the butterfly guard he used to stand up from the first takedown was so beautifully executed. That’s some good Jiu-Jitsu right there – although to be expected with Camarillo as his coach and the ridiculous amount of natural talent this guy possesses.
Unlike what people say this fight proved that Cain does have a good personality
