Where to begin, where to begin? A night of EMOTION. If I told you I wasn't nervous as fuck, I'd be lying. Great fights leading up to the main event. I mean if you had to make a guy to beat Brock Lesnar, it'd be this nigga. Power puncher, every punch hurts you and he puts niggas to sleep. AND he's got the wrestling to keep it standing. I was a little worried about my money.
Carwin pops him and Lesnar shot and tripped him but Carwin got up. Then Carwin blats him a couple times and Brock retreats. Shit man, I tell you I was fucking pissed. LOL. Then Brock goes DOWN and Carwin's on top raining punches. Luckily the ref wasn't a bum like Mazagatti or Big Dan and saw that Brock was still defending himself enough to keep it going. Then I saw Carwin throwing slower and slower punches and Brock covering up and I immediately thought of Rope-a-Dope. This nigga Carwin done. Brock got up and I knew it. Brock's cardio wouldn't be a problem, bt Shane was gonna be gassed.
Came out and submitted his ass. SUBMISSION. And not a guillotine or a RNC, but a fucking Arm Triangle. I knew Couture went up there to work with Brock on using CSW to get subs, but I didn't imagine it. If you notice, Brock didn't try to punch him once while mounted.
Brock has a chin. He took Carwin's best shots and didn't go out. Carwin is the hardest puncher in MMA. Brock has heart. That was a Minotauro type beating. Brock has cardio. Brock has submissions.
For all you saying this is evidence that Fedor/Werdum/Cain/JDS can beat him, I say no. None of them have the wrestling/punching power combo Carwin has. This was your chance Lesnar haters. Brock is not unbeatable, but he'll end up retiring before he's beaten again. I told you when he signed with UFC, the nigga was gonna be the shit and could beat Fedor. Brock comes out and takes Fedor down without prejudice. Everyone takes Fedor down. Werdum would get smashed against the cage. JDS has a shot and maybe Cain too.
Damn. i called a choke but not by brock. shanes dumb ass should have went for a choke or better yet let brock stand up. if shane can go 3 more with injury he can get that belt. brock is never gonna have a great stand up game. dos santos gonna ko the shit out of him if he dont get wrestled to death
Carwin fucked up. He had the chance. I looked away for a second, that's how bad I thought it would be. Brock is still evolving. Every fight we learn something new about that nigga. His stand up game is gonna be on point for Cain.
uproar?
at one point brock wasnt even defending himself
the shit was suspect
but ufc is rigged as boxing
and brock caught his second wind and ate that ass up
we all learned that brock can be ko'd though
dude ran outta gas
Rigged? LMAO @ you niggas. UFC doesn't chose the refs or judges. And if it was "rigged", why would they let Brock get "beat up"?
No you DON'T have to knock him out to win. That's exactly Alex's point. Shane did more than enough to win by ref stoppage, had he been fighting a different fighter. Brock got the champ treatment tonight from Dana White, fam. It is what it is.
Yes, you're gonna have to KO Brock. He's not gonna be stopped by GnP. Shane didn't do "enough", Brock wasn't out and he was alert and defending himself. Dana White was not "in control" of that fight.
Real Talk.....in most other fights, the refs would have jumped in and stopped that fight. But it was the main event and Brock is the biggest draw in the company, he is going to get the benefit of the doubt. I personally don't believe that a fight should be stopped until someone taps or goes limp. You should just take shots until you are completely out otherwise keep fighting. In any event, major props to Brock. Dude regrouped and did what he does best, takedown and dominate. It didn't take long once Brock got him down, fight was over.
Lesnar was defending. Yeah I've seen fights get stopped for less but usually they are hitting the guy. Just like in Rampage/Rashad at the end, Rampage was hitting air and arms. Niggas try and cheat the system by just throwing a bunch of punches and wait for the ref to stop it.
Brock wasnt bleeding from glove and arm hits bruh
He has been exposed tonight, that chin is highly suspect
he buckled with every shot...but Carwin is powerful so that may not be a true indicator
hell Carwin got choked out though
aint shit you can say about that
Brock ate some big shots, especially an elbow. But when Carwin started throwing leather on the ground, Brock was defending himself.
What i'm saying is the UFC gives all their champions the benefit of the doubt. Yes, that does suck, but KO or Submission is the only way to become champion. You simply won't win by decision because the head honchos of the UFC and the judges won't give out the W. Just look at Lyoto Machida's first fight againt Shogun Rua. He beat the breaks off of Machida, but Machida got the "W".
Uh, Penn just lost his belt by decision, Most champions finish fights or are so dominate, it's an easy decision. Only exception, that proves the rule, is Machida.
wtf, did you not see the fight?
brock got hit with the right hand and basically dropped
Fedor hits harder and he isnt tiring
man, i hope this fight happens
this will be a nice come up financially
Fedor gets taken down (like ROGERS got him on the ground) and then pressed against the cage and Brock bludgeons him.
Dana White can't get that belt off of Anderson Silva fast enough. In fact, I see the UFC cutting ties with Silva if he loses this fight and/or the next fight. In fact, Dana White hates him so much, the UFC was going to show the UFC in Abu Dhabi card minus the Anderson Silva fight. They're talking about finding a replacement fight for Silva.
You think
