it is soo soooo sooooo SAD that we get excited to know that these PROFESSIONALS passed their drug test.
This is true joel… It’s like when you give someone in need a ride or food and they act so appreciative… it’s sad that helping our fellow man is something worthy of praise…it shouldn’t be considered anything exceptional.
This can’t be right – Sylvia wasn’t popped for the meds he takes to help his CantFinishFights-icus disease?
HA! I crack myself up.
hehe… I know that he’s suffering from that disease…but Nog is helping him through it!
Lowcash,
AMEN to that! I want Lesnar and Sylvia to fight. I want to see more of Lesnar because I feel he can get very aggressive with his wrestling and pick up the pace of a slow fighters like Sylvia. Lesnar still needs jui jitsu trainig in my opinion but not against Sylvia. Anyway, I just want to see Lesnar shoot in, take Sylvia down, pound his face, get up, pile drive Sylvia and go for the pin. I know this is not WWE but just for style points the pile driver and pin would be nice.
Damn, how did I know this was going to turn into another Sylvia bashing. Well…the dude can fight better than most people….including all of us. He would own Lesnar….sorry to tell ya’s..but he would. Any real MMA fan would know that. Just like we knew he didnt stand a chance against Mir. Either way, I would like to see Lesnar and Sylvia too but Dana will prolly throw Lesnar a bone on the next fight. There actually is no bone for Lesnar in my opinion….if you ask me he is at the bottom of the HW division until he proves otherwise.
Wow Fixxer, you obviously need to watch the Mir fight again and open your eyes a little more. Did you not see what Lesnar is capable of doing to a man’s face in a little over a minute?
Lesnar, in time, will dominate HW. Mark my words.
In time he has the potential to be a great HW…im not arguing that at all. I am saying as of right now….with a professional record of 1-1 (0-1 UFC), he has not proved himself to be a threat in the UFC. I did see what he did was an unexperienced fighter that was thrown to the wolves because he has a name in another sport, tapout in 1:30. I am not blaming Lesnar….he just is not ready for experienced fighters. So IN MY OPINION, he is not a proven fighter….therefore is at the bottom of the HW division. Once he beats someone and works his way up…then I will say otherwise.
I agree with you FixXer, Lesnar has a big name because of pro wrestling (thats an oxymoronic statement). He has a basic game down, sure he would probably beat Sylvia but, put him up against some who is well rounded he will keep tapping out. Its true no HW has his power but there are too many holes in his game.
On the issue of steroids… yea.. everyone tested negative! I remember back in the day when they only posted positive reports. Does this speak to the future of the sport?
