UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on Spike TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
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.
Yeah idk where that guy was going with the ko thing either but Lesnar does seem to knock people on there asses rather easily. I cant wait for this fight. I hope Lesnar has improved his standup so that he may impress some new people into saying he is legit but we will see.
I'm not a fan of Brock but I'll admit he's a legit fighter.
I'm not really sure what this fights gonna prove though due to Randys inactivity. I think if Brock gets by Randy the next fight (i'm guessing Nog) will show a lot more about Brock as a MMArtist.
I don't think people are questioning Brocks place in the UFC but a lot of people are overrating him based on his wins so far IMO. He has a lot of physical gifts but people are talking about a win over Herring as if that establishes Brock as a top HW.
Personally I've never rated Herring and whilst a win over him did make me see that Brock is a decent fighter there's no way to justify the status the UFC have given him other than WWE fame, and I think thats what pisses a lot of people off.
Brock could smash through Randy and Nog/Mir in the first round and go on to defend the title 5 or 6 times but you still can't deny he didn't deserve his shot based on what he's done in MMA.
You are probably right but if the ppv generates as many buys as they are expecting it to then the UFCs mission will have been accomplished. If this turns out to be a great fight it could be just as ground breaking as Griffin vs Bonnar was.
Yeah I can see why Brocks getting the shot and TBH the UFC can't really have him work his way up the conventional way due to the ammount of money they're paying him but I still don't think its fair.
Dana White's doing the right thing by putting Brock against top competition. Let's face it, the internet guys are going to bash Brock anyway: he fights non-contenders and White is accused of feeding him tomatoes to pad his record. Instead, White is doing the right thing, and Brock is getting bashed anyway.
Brock is a true warrior who is not afraid to fight anyone, so let him. I think the Couture fans here are fearful of what will happen to Randy, rather than being critical of Brock's opportunity.

That is defenitely part of it, but part of it is WWE haters, and part of it is Werdum nuthuggers that have been crying in a corner ever since saturday night when he got caught at UFC 90. And the final part are people who really just dont think he deserves it and would rather see Couture vs Nog immediately.
Personally struggling to see how couture can win this.In my opinion there has never been a challenger like lesnar,sylvia was big,but brock is a different kind of strong,as much as i'd love to see couture win,i am predicting he will be bullied around the octagon for a lot of the bout.
Not sure lesnar will knock out couture on the feet,but can certainly see him overwhelming randy on the ground and forcing a stoppage.
So I am a little confused I thought that Nogeria was the champ not my all time fav Randy The Natural Couture and what is up with putting Lesner to fight him. As I remember Frank Mir was the number 1 contender for the belt he did beat Brock did he not. And another thing Brock could not even finish off Herring who was blind after the first 10 seconds of their match! Can someone please enlighten me

does ne1 think brock would b gettin this push without the hype he brings???
this is a massive step up 4 him an i hope he proves the haters wrong win or lose... he has the credentials 2 rule the HW division, dos santos has blown open the HWs by ko werdum (no1 HW contender outwith the mini HW tournament joe rogans words b4 his fight at ufc 90) who looked sluggish carryin the xtra weight, mayb he neva took dos santos seriously as he beleived he a title shot down the line, but he has blown that ne time soon... imo dana should hav had big nog vs randy 2 determin the true champ an top HW not includin fedor, jus cos if brock beats randy an mir beats nog ne randy vs nog fight would lose some appeal, fightin off defeats rather than the top 2 ufc HW, but i can not c mir beatin big nog
