Overeem vs Lesnar went as expected Brock had no chance to land a take down against someone equally strong. The problem for Brock is that he only has brute strength but he cannot endure punishment so even brute mode is often unavailable and against a guy like Overeem he will get hit. I kinda wanna see him against Mir again because he is much the same regarding how much punishment he can absorb.


JDS vs Overeem is a cool fight though I have no clue who's winning that one.

I really liked the stoppage Fich was out. Johny Hendricks has three "... of the night" awards and decent opponents behind him. I foresee a bright future for me watching him fight and I think he might continue doing well. Learned my lesson counting him out against Fitch.

Brock failed miserably in football?

He was a late, late cut. That's hardly failed miserably considering he made it through training camp, and two rounds of cuts. Thats far more then the vast majority of people make it even after intending to go into football.

Brock was cut from football for starting fights is what I've heard. IIRC he also sacked a QB during a scrimmage, which is a nono.

I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Yeah, I wouldn't believe everything you hear. Unless he can come up with a reliable source I doubt that ever happened lmao.

Anyway, very happy with how all the fights went down. Great card overall.

I can understand that it wasn't your thing. But Diaz really fought awesome. Also remember we are not the primary focus for the UFC, the people who know a little more... UFC tries to sell, and 2 guys punching the shit out of each other (Or rather Diaz punching the shit out of Ceronne) is what the casual fans want to see.

Wrong and wrong. He was cut cause he didn't take instruction as well as some other people, and being brand new at football the object is not always get the QB.

And it was a pre-season game, which is hardly a random scrimmage. Hardly a nono.

Just watched the fight between Alistair and Brock. All I saw was Alistair hitting Brock where he had his surgery. I know someone that after he had his apendics removed @ ~40 years had to not lift any weights for like 6 months, or else he'd be in pain. And I mean 3 kilograms or so.

Edit: clearly a mismatch, Alistair dominated him way too much.

Would you say Hendricks vs Fitch was a mismatch ?

It could honestly be the case that Brock post-surgery is nothing compared to what he was pre. Surgery like that might not only weaken and drain him physically but also remove any psychological strength he had.

Despite the hype, after the performances against Carwin and Cain, you really would have to say that Overeem was mismatched against him...or at least just the harshest and least winnable opponent Lesnar could have fought. Brock should have gone up against a lower ranked HW at least twice or three times, but not like that would have been great anyway. I think, post-surgery, he was probably destined to quit and on the way out, sadly enough.

the only way the WWE "far far exceeds anything the UFC can pay" is if you are on the road 52 weeks a year working a grueling schedule.

you know the kind of schedule Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Rick Rude endured.

how are they doing with their tonnes of cash these days any how?

Brock was entertaining. He was somewhere between a freakshow and a legitimate competitor in a weight class that doesn't require a tremendous amount of skill to have some success at. Compared to other horrible publicity stunts like James Toney and Kimbo I think his career was ultimately positive for MMA.

I seriously wonder if the UFC will pick up Bobby Lashley now, despite how hilariously awful he is. Or maybe Batista, wasn't he going to fight in SF? I don't think they are above it anymore. Who knows, maybe next TUF will be Lashley vs Batista. These are the types of MMA sins Takada died for on NYE

That's not the case. Brock didn't love the lifestyle; he was in it for the money as he was pushed right from the start based off his look/frame and NCAA background. Everything Vince looks for in a wrestler.

There are very and I mean very few wrestlers on their roster that make shitloads of money. Same with the UFC. If you aren't a top guy and maintain your status you have zero leverage and won't make a whole lot of money in the UFC. It's the nature of both businesses. Both will take a major toll on your body especially if your one of the top dogs. That's why they receive the bank. A Legends contract in the WWE certainly has its benefits though.
