Agreed. I edited that in. But it's hard to see Velasquez really doing anything. Carwin is at least huge so he's got that going for him I guess although I think Brock would handle him too since he's a much better athlete and wrestler.
No. Dana sees Brock stealing away some WWE/TNA fans by bringing all the out-of-ring trash talk and promo potential to the otherwise respectable UFC. Now he's got a Bill Goldberg who doesn't need rigged matches to win. It's gonna be a fun ride for Brock and Dana. Hopefully Fedor stays away and keeps the dream going. :lol PEACE.sooperkool said:

Are you kidding me? Dana went to the Vince McMahon school of business, he loves this shit.Slayer-33 said:

Which will never happen.
Everybody in the entire UFC is lucky to be born with their genetics.Trax416 said:
Of course, genetics don't stop at physical ability. Just because other guys at the NFL combine had better numbers than he did doesn't mean they would in any way be better fighters, in the same way that what makes him a good fighter doesn't make him a better football player than the guys he had better combine stats than.
Brock was born with RIDICULOUS physical stats, but also with the mental aggressiveness, intelligence, etc. to make a damn good fighter.
WHERE IS THE "PEACE" ?Pimpwerx said:Lesnar by huge hamfists to the face. I love his heel heat too.There are lots of respectful guys in the UFC. I want him to remain a bad guy. And I want him to keep beating guys and keep entertaining. This is fun shit.
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH PIMPWERX?

It's just an act. He knows that people were going to make fun of him and disrespect him for coming from pro wrestling, and he's just running with it. He knows that as long as he keeps being a dick, people will pay to see if someone can beat him down.alr1ghtstart said:
The sport needs dick heels just as much as it needs classy faces. Tito Ortiz knew this too.

Don't blame him. That's a rules thing. I agree they need a superheavyweight division but there are very few skilled super heavyweights and this only really became a major issue with Brock.
Nobody said much when Fedor fought Hong Man Choi (outside of it being a dumb bad fight)
BigKaboom2 said:
Yeah, those guys have the best shot at beating him outside of Nog since they have great wrestling and can stuff Lesnar's takedowns some if they see them coming (of course, Kongo got Veleaquez down and Gonzaga took down Carwin).
Also, Lesnar could totally beat Fedor the same way he just beat Mir... Coleman and Randleman had no trouble taking Fedor down and they were only 230 or so. You can't armbar a guy from the bottom when you in the position Brock had Mir in.
i'm sure everyone in UFC is happy that TUF is going all heavyweight this next season. I still think an envigorated Pride guy might take him out. Set up TUF 10 with Lesnar and CroCop as "coaches" and just let Lesnar refuel CroCops fire and then let 'em at each other. If he has the type of transformation from that like Hendo did, then yeah, rejuvinated CroCop could probably dominate Brock.
lol i'm still laughing at brocks speech. especially the bud light part. i think the ufc needs something like that as well. ufc has a lot of goody two shoes in there already. plus if people hate him enough they will buy the next ppv to see him get his ass beat. similar to people tuning in to mayweather jr ppv's hoping to see him get his ass beat.
Monroeski said:
hence why I said...
"But his power is a very big part of why he is so dominant. Nothing wrong with that, and he actually wants to improve, when most guys with his gifts don't. So nothing but props to him. He won, and stopped Mir doing it."
Also, a lot of guys in MMA and UFC have SHIT genetics. And work their fucking asses off to compensate. Most guys can't gain weight for the life of them, which makes it hard to build muscles. Others can't get the last couple pounds of fat off without drastic measure. So they bust their ass and compensate with skill, technique, and a life of looking at gym equipment. Shit, the best fighter on Earth doesn't have freak genetics like Brock who looked like he was on roids at 14 years old.

You like me, you really really like me!
I'd like to see a motivated Cro Cop against Lesnar.
Went to the UFC page, and noticed this is a 170lb fight. Is Dana going to give Fitch another shot at GSP? I know he put on a great show, but Fitch has no fucking chance at GSP. He has no chance at Silva, but at least he can add some credibility to that weak division. The WW division is stacked. I'd rather see Fitch move up and help build the 185lb class, while GSP runs through the fodder that lines the 170lb ranks. Hughes got to crush some cans during his reign, didn't he? PEACE.
right now i'm sure dana white is praying to god that josh barnett beats fedor so he can sign him away and create a mega fight with brock lesnar. since fedor doesn't want to be in the ufc then josh barnett is the next best thing if he wins. even if he loses i'm sure the ufc will want to sign him since he is a good personality that would make a good match for lesnar in the future.

I still think Crocop is better than he's acted lately, but he has no ground game. Brock would immediately charge him and take him down and it'd be over. Also remember that Crocop is a really small heavyweight.Cerrius said:

I dunno, I think CroCop is finished being a legitimate headliner. Though he an impressive victory at UFC 99, I haven't been impressed by him in the UFC so far.
The scary thing about Brock is that he's still a developing fighter. If he keeps progressing at this rate, he has the potential to be a UFC Hall of Famer when he hangs it all up. I don't think it's too early to make that prediction.

Does anyone know if UFC still shows undercard fights online after the TV event is over? After the last UFC I ordered, I looked online and couldn't find anything...
I am. And I still think that after GSP destroys him again, that Dana should make Fitch move to 185lb. There were a couple of guys with the frames that could make the move, and Fitch has the chin. Send him up. Give him a warmup fight or two. Let him run through Franklin, and then if he passes that test, feed him to Silva. Fitch stands a better chance than Bisping, who is going to be dismantled should he ever be pitted against Anderson. PEACE.Forkball said:

The only thing I wonder is how that Brock fight went over to casuals. While he was dominating, I know a lot of casual people were watching this fight because this ppv really crossed over into the mainstream and I think a lot of those people may have regarded that fight as more of a prison rape than something resembling fighting they are use to.
Not a big deal of course but just a thought.

Was he conscious at that point? Man I don't know what he was doing, maybe he was hoping Brock would get disqualified for hitting him in the back of the head?
well barnett doesn't want to fight for dream so he won't go with them. sengoku probably isn't paying much. the only other org he can sign with is strikeforce but in this case dana white would definitely outbid strikeforce. of course i'm assuming the upcoming affliction card is their last. i think he would leave pro wrestling in japan alone if he got offered enough money. plus i'm sure he wants to get back in the ufc and fight lesnar and other fighters.dem said:
