Lesnar too much for Couture

[bushy]

Roids still haven't worn off??

I miss the days of no weight classes. Not very profitable for them to condense it this way, but the best fighter was not 275 gazzillion pounds, he was 180! Remember 180 pound Royce Gracie and the monsters he used to put to sleep? Now that was fun to watch! No big fan of Anderson Silva, but that guy is the best fighter hands down, regardless of weight class. He'd submit that big freak of nature in short order, if, and that's a big if, he didn't pound his fat skull into pulp with his feet and hands. Well, it's now all about the "show" and the money the promoter can make, but maybe we'll get to see George St. fag Pierre step up to that plate. He'll get flocking schooled.

Fight went about how I expected it to go. I didn't want Brock to win at all, but he's just too frickin big. Randy put forth an awesome effort IMO. I wish he wouldn't have gotten caught with that big fist, but that's gonna happen at some point. If it could have gone one more round, maybe the outcome would have been different. REMATCH!

Kinda takes the luster off of a possible "Fedor-Couture" fight.

Dude, really? Anderson Silva would get DESTROYED by Brock. Yes Silva is one of the top 3 fighters in the world, but he would be giving up nearly 100 pounds. It truly is an apples and oranges comparrison, even if he was at LHW Brock would throw him around like a little girl. Brock is simply the next generation of fighter and there hasnt been one like him in the UFC heavy weight division. Just like Penn, GSP, and Anderson Silva, these are guys who simply operate on a different plane of athletic ability than the guys they fight against. Look at how much he has improved since he fought Mir, this guy isnt going anywhere for a while.

And while i agree the old days of Gracie were great, but the UFC was a freak show back then and didnt gain any credibility until it became sanctioned with rules and weight classes. Lol, i remember watching UFC 1 on a copy of someones copy of someones copy of it on VHS, and just wondering "how can this be legal, this is the coolest thing i have ever see".

gsp would waste both of them

The ufc was originally just Karate, mui thai, wrestlers and bar room brawlers. No one knew what jiu jitsu was and that what made Royce so dangerous. He could beat bigger untrained guys because they had know idea why this little Brazilian was wrapping his legs around them, he had the element of surprise. He took a lot of beating to get those submissions and for that he was one tough SOB. But how many times now do you see a pure jiu jitsu guy beat an all around fighter anymore. The sports evolved so much and with that you are seeing way better fights.

And Size does matter.

 

[Bubba700]

It does matter but I think that a guy that is strongest in jiu jitsu is still going to win at the end of the day. Think how many fight you have watched in the ufc that some dude will be pounding a guy but will slip up with a strike and bam he choked out or thrown into an arm bar. The brazillian guy on this season is a guy to watch, the light heavy weight on Mir's team. He was throwing these insane flying arm bars the other day in the training clips they were showing.

Best fight was in the crowd some guy and girl went over four or five rows.Not exactly sure what happened.
