While I agree with you and am rooting for Randy, I have that quote (Chuck Liddell?) in my head, "everybody has a game plan until they get hit in the face" or in this case, "everybody has a game plan until Brock lies on them for 5 minutes."

Randy is not Mir.
Lesnar is not Sylvia.

The whole this guy beat this guy and this guy beat this guy really doesn't work in MMA. Especially when the styles of the comparisoned fighters are so different.

For example lets say

Fighter A beats fighter B
fighter B beats fighter C
fighter C beats fighter A

Now tell me who is the best fighter?

Ok I may have mis-poke on the looping aspect; I did not mean looping in terms of a Chris Leben, but from what I remember Lesnar kind of cocks his punches (elbows out then throws a punch). If a fighter has experience in boxing techniques they can see the punch coming and easily evade it. Brock did a good job turning Crazyhorse into a tumble weed in the first round with the right hand (faked left then threw a right...i think!??!?). In terms of Lesnar's straight right with Mir it took more than one shot to knock him on his butt.

Another thing that i'm unsure of is I can't remember if Lesnar ever uses a Jab. When I think about it... it seems that he mainly uses his right hand, and only fakes the jab.

I think that Randy will be working on what potentials Brock can bring to him. It isn't going to be so easy as some thinks.

I hope I was not one of those people.....and I apologize if i was.

Although I'm rooting for Randy, Just keep representing for your boy Lesnar and just brush off the haters that neg rep you. It's members like you who help enlighten people and keep the discourse of the discussion going.

I know there were pro Lesnar posts that kind of made me take a closer look at the fight and his skills. Admittedly I was hoping Randy would beat Brock easily but now I'm not so sure, but i gotta root for "The Natural" even if he could potentially get beat. I'm guessing it should be a close one.....

To UFC Chic I respect your opinion I just want to point out that I dont think this will be easy for Brock I think he has his hands full. I love Couture and would root for him against anyone other than Brock Lesnar. The only thing I meant in my Tim Sylvia rant is that Brock is sooo different than him and weigh more athletic and more capable of using his size to his advantage than Tim is. Even Couture said this in an interview on ufc.com

And to the guy tellin me not to worry about the neg reps thanks. I just see all these people with these big green bars under their name and mine keeps goin in the red so I was like what the hell but its cool.

I just hope whoever is the ref does their job as well as Big John did in the fight against Randy and Tim.
