I don't understand what Dana was thinking... I'm sure he'll make a bundle selling PPV but lose all credibility for the title in the process...

I hope Randy spanks Lesnar but it's going to be tough to deal with his size... Fingers crossed cuz its more than the title on the line...

The UFC HW title doesnt lose credibility because no matter who wins this 4 man tournament for the undisputed title will have had to beat 2 tough opponents. IF Lesnar managed to beat Couture and then beat Nog or Mir (prob Nog) then he would be a legit champ cuz Nog and Couture are 2 of the best of all time.

I think its a joke.. Should have been Nog vs Couture.. something most true mma fans have been waiting for for half a decade (other than Fedor/Randy). If Randy loses, don't know when/if this would happen. MMA should be about matching skill against skill which is why you have weight classes.. just throwing some monster against a much smaller fighter may be good out of morbid curiosity, but does nothing for the sport other than sell some more tickets to that demographic.

Funny how most Brock backers seem to have signed up in the last month or so.. probably wwe diehards following him over and have no clue what this is about. For a little education on something similar try and dig up Pride Shockwave from 2002 and watch the Nogueira-Sapp fight.

'He then represented PRIDE at PRIDE Shockwave, which was co-promoted with K1, against the superheavyweight former American footballer Bob Sapp. Sapp manhandled the much smaller Nogueira, spiking him onto the ring canvas and dominating the fight, until tiring and falling to an armbar submission. His battle with Sapp (who outweighed him by over 100 pounds) made him a fan favorite for his seemingly inhuman ability to take punishment and comeback to win.'

Don't think I have ever seen a fighter take so much damage and keep going.. Can still remember Bas near the end saying perhaps they should stop the fight out of fear Nog may actually get brain damage. I hope the fight ends this way..but instead of an armbar its Randy's fist crushing the idiots nose.

I find it amusing that you are bashing Brock backers saying they are just wwe diehards who know nothing on mma and they have only joined the forum recently but you have only 6 posts on this forum.

[debauche]

Exactly how many posts do I need before I can post something I know about? How about posting something of substance to back up your claim your hero is even worthy of anything more than anything other than a title shot, and is little else than a big payday for UFC?
Brocks an idiot. Brock acts like an idiot. Brock has no right to a title fight after a couple has-been fights. The only reason I will be watching is to hope he gets his head bashed like Kimbo and is sent packing.
End of story.

He isn my hero he is just my fav mma fighter. I have been watchin mma since Griffin vs Bonnar not since Brock joined. And for the people that keep saying Brock doesn deserve a title fight I would like to know who does other than the 4 people in the mini tournament. Werdum is 2-1 in the UFC yet people say he is way more deserving but Brock has had 2 ufc fights instead of 3 so he isn deserving at all. Gonzaga had his shot and got demolished. Kongo def doesn deserve a shot and the only reasaon Brock is fighting Couture is cuz Kongo was afraid to fight Brock when he was offered the chance. The HW division is gettin better but uts still kinda thin. You can hate on him now but IF he wins this tourney he will be very deserving.

Dont even start comparing Lesnar to Bob Sapp. Your whole argument goes out the door. There not similar at all.

The reality is, this is a matchup the fans want to see very badly, even casual sports, professional wrestling fans, as well as mainstream journalists.

This fight will take MMA to the next level of popularity and visibility, and the "haters" who think Lesnar is not deserving, only add fuel to the fire.

Mark my words, this fight will be remembered as a breakthrough event, along the lines of Bird vs. Magic in college basketball, or Thomas Hearns vs. Sugar Ray Leonard for non heavyweight title bouts in boxing.

Edit: forget the NUMBER of fights Lesnar has been in. Consider this fact, Lesnar has KO'ed two veteran UFC heavyweights (one the former champ) with exactly one punch each. Each punch was Lesnar's FIRST of the night. And against Herring, Lesnar caved the left side of his face in. How many UFC fighters can say that? That's right, none.

Before I start, I used to have an account here but forgo my username .

Anyhow, comparing Bob Sapp to Lesnar is a huge joke & just makes you look ridiculous. I don't see how Randy can possibly win this fight, he is a crafty veteran and all but I just don't see it happening. IMO Brock has already proved that he can hang in the UFC, he is w/o a doubt the strongest guy out there right now (in the UFC). Everyone saying he doesn't deserve a shot at the title, is.. well.. stupid.

The HW divison is weak right now & Lesnar is a guy who can fill seats & is popular among the UFC crowd right now. If your not hearing good stuff from fans about him then you will be hearing bad stuff. HE is getting talked about non-stop & besides Silva got a shot at the title after beating my boy Leben (fav fighter) which was his first fight in the UFC.. and look at him now.

Shane Carwin looks to be in the same strength league as Brock.

Lensar can't say that either, in one fight he got subbed about a minute after rocking his opponent and in the other his outwrestled him to a decision win.
