carwin is better/scarier.

you are right that UFC caters to the masses, however
i don’t agree that they ‘have to’

1- danish and the partitas could all retire now if they wanted.
2- it’s morally wrong in the context of MMA to have refs encourage stand up for the fans (which they do) – it’s tossing a tourd towards what the gracies showed the world and in fact what helped out MMA on the map – the rock vs paper vs scissors of MMA.

3- it’s not fair that say ufc championship of THE WORLD yet they favor english speakers.
many examples if you look at the roster – but for instance if TUF where part of the idea is to foster potential talent they over-represent people from the english speaking world.

could you imagine this in the olympics .

if you argue this is a biz not the olympics i’d say well its what we make of it. and than they should drop that CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! pretense

Brock is too big, strong, athletic for the HW division. Now I totally know he lost his first UFC fight to Mir, but Mir was awarded a golden chalice in the form of the ref stopping the fight for hits to the back of the head, giving Mir time to recover, putting the fight back on the feet so’s Brock was not in that dominant side control position and gave Mir more time to reset. In a rematch I think Mir gets crushed (BTW I think Mir is also a huge joke anymore, the man ADMITS to not training cardio. He admits it! he says something around the lines of “i don’t train cardio anymore so that I wont get burnt out on training for fights, I hate it.”)Nog is quite possibly the only guy in all of the UFC that can beat Lesnar because of his ground game, but he has to get lesnar in his guard, he’s not going to submit him from having lesnar in side control, and that is now lesnars favorite position since his Mir loss.

Seriously though how can you say brock resorts to lay and pray tactics?? he did that in 1 fight?!

first fight TKO round 1
second fight loss by submission
third fight unanimous decision
fourth fight TKO round 2 – HW champion

Do I think he’s a perfect working model of a HW fighter? Not exactly yet. But he is the Matt Hughes of the HW’s. He is going to work on his submission game and striking while he wears and defends that gold belt against everyone else. The HW division is FULL of 1 trick poneys. Nearly every single HW is so 1 dimentional that it’s not too hard to try and

Brock is a joke, watch for Shane Carwin, same hight, same weight, wrestling background, difference is he has been training for MMA, he trains with Nate the Great. I doubt they will try to promote that fight because he wouldknock brock out, and they pay brock alot of money, so they are going to hand pick guys for brock to fight for a while… kinda like Kimbo

@Jasonah, I’m not going to debate Lesnar with you, I just don’t feel like it…. Anderson Silva had 5 fights in PRIDE, technically he came to the UFC from Cage Rage kinda from Rumble On The Rock but not really

When ZUFFA bought PRIDE man I was pumped thinking that the likes of CC,Gomi, Fedor,Wanderlei, Arona, Saku,Shogun,Aleks, Yvel, Zuluzinho, were all going to come over to the UFC and it was going to be a WAR, ehhh not so much because ZUFFA bought PRIDE and didn’t exactly aquire the contracts of the fighters when the sale went threw ZUFFA owned everything PRIDE except the fighters and their contracts which were essentially void…
Dan Henderson has done well in UFC imo perhaps not a winning record but look who he has faced, Rampage is 3~1, Big Nog is undefeated, Gono well he is just up and down as usual.. U may not have gotten what we all wanted with the purchase of PRIDE but when it comes down to it, it was a business decision to eliminate THE competitor…. Affliction wishes they we’re 5% of what PRIDE was, perhaps that’s why Dana doesn’t take them too seriously, and they put on a show every 6 months? Soo

i think that there are great fighters and different nites give different outcomes

also rampage doesnt count then ?
, or big nog, then ?

i’d like to watch him and carwin though. i’d go with carwin
