  1. 2-0 Sonnen. Keep it up man....can't wait to see someone take down Silva.
  2. Wow....that first round....Sonnen means business.
  3. There's always a chance in MMA, I mean you're one lucky shot away. However it would be a massive upset if Sonnen beats Silva.
  4. I still don't see JDS being able to beat Lesnar.
  5. Nelson is tough as hell, but he got his ass beat. Credit though for toughness.
  6. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/7/9/1562374/brock-lesnar-vs-cain-velasquez Dana White confirms Lesnar/Velasquez at UFC 121. "The rumored card for UFC 121 now includes: Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez Anderson Silva/Chael Sonnen vs. Vitor Belfort Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Lyoto Machida Sam Stout vs. Paul Taylor" I know he only confirmed the Lesnar fight and I have no clue where they got that rumored card from, but if that holds up...that may have a chance to challenge the UFC PPV buys record.
  7. Cain my be a superior technical striker to Carwin, he doesn't have the size and power to try and impose his will on Lesnar like Carwin did. Cain may be a more well rounded fighter than either Lesnar or Carwin, but he'll give up 20+ pounds and a lot of power to Lesnar who has a better wrestling pedigree. When you're talking MMA and especially Heavyweights, anything is possible, you're always 1 clean shot away from winning. I just don't see Cain posing the same threat to Brock as Carwin did/does. Though he's someone to take very very seriously. Edit: Also keep in mind that Cain will be giving up a good 4 inches in reach to Lesnar.
  8. If he's not #1 at this point...who is? If someone says Fedor is still #1 I'll just have to ignore them. I'm not disrespecting the best Heavyweight ever (give the man the respect he deserves on that front), but he hasn't fought that high of a quality of fighter the past 4-5 years and just lost. You can't say someone is the best current fighter in their division based on what they did 5-10 years ago.
  9. Until someone beats Lesnar, gotta go with him. Yeah yeah, I know that Mir won their first fight, but he didn't really beat him. It was a case of an inexperienced fighter losing focus while beating someone he was better than and giving up a stupid submission, something he clearly fixed in their second fight. I still think Carwin is the biggest threat to Lesnar, the rematch will be epic if Carwin improves his cardio. Having said that, you could run that tournament through six times and get six different winners and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
  10. Yeah, he tired himself out. The issue is that every time in previous fights he's been in that position with another fighter on the ground he's been able to end it with that kind of attack. Lesnar is just a really tough dude. Gotta give Brock credit, not just for the heart and toughness of taking those shots, but each time the ref was starting to edge in and thinking about ending it, Lesnar would either catch a wrist or two and stop the punches for a few seconds or he would get his leg up and push Carwin back off to buy himself some time. You could see the punches getting slower and slower and by the end Carwin was just lightly (by his standards...heh) throwing against Lesnar's huge arms and doing no damage. Lesnar was never in a position in that fight like Mir was against Carwin where it was just clearly over. He ended the round on his feet with Carwin pinned against the cage, not on his back getting smacked in the face. He definitely lost the round but I don't think he was ever out of it enough to justify a stoppage.
  11. For anyone curious... $75,000 fight-night bonuses: - Fight of the Night: Chris Leben vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama - Fight of the Night: Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski - Submission of the Night: Brock Lesnar - Knockout of the Night: Gerald Harris
  12. Post-fight press conference on ufc.com/live right now.
  13. Good luck on topping that. UFC 116 = Card of the Year, no doubt. That was just absurd how each fight lived up to and in most cases far exceeded expectations. I'll never criticize a card again for not having enough names or fights with title ramifications on it. Lesnar has to be the toughest man on the planet to eat those shots from Carwin and come back to tap him like that. As much as that shocked me, I was even more surprised at him actually being humble in his post-fight interview.
  14. Seriously, all the haters can really eat their words....took everything Carwin had and still tapped him out.
  15. Omg brock lesnarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. The fact that Lesnar weathered that is amazing.
  17. Still have the main event to go, but 116 was worth the money on PPV. I have no clue why I started to believe the nuts who claimed this was a 1 fight PPV.
  18. Uhoh, Leben vs. Silva? I say give him Silva after this performance.
  19. There, ladies and gentlemen, is your fight of the night, for sure. Well done.
  20. lol @ Leben dancing his way to the octagon.
  21. hah Yeah, I didn't mean to imply he was ready to fight top end guys or anything. Just that he's looked good in the two fights since TUF.
  22. Yeah, he's looking like he might have some real potential. Definitely improving each fight since being on TUF.
  23. That was such a strange fight to watch...the end of round one when he was throwing those huge double-fisted hammerfist then just fell over like albert haynesworth in the fourth quarter.
