rewatched the fight a few times....damn, lesnar has very little explosion in the 2nd round....that first shot he went for against randy in round 1, took some time, but damn was that a fast shot...in the 2nd round, his shots were much slower....his knee's were fantastic tho...i think that is where he should take the fight w/ nog....against the fence

To me Brock looked kinda tired before the fight even started. And did they say he had trouble cutting weight? I thought I heard them say that.

Also I don't think he was being super explosive because plenty of people were talking about Randy tireing him out and taking it in the later rounds. So he could of just been conserving energy to try and prevent that.

Brock REALLY needs to compose himself when he has his opponent hurt. He bullrushed Herring when he dropped him, and he bullrushed Randy when he caught him with that forearm/elbow.

He could have finished both Herring and Couture there and then if he'd stayed composed in my opinion.

Still pissed that he caught Randy. I was really hoping Randy would defy logic again

I took that look on Brocks face to be nervs. Fourth fight ever and your going for the title, expecting to win no less, thats a lot of presure. I think he was very nervous about the thought of losing to someone as small as Couture and what that would say about his future in the sport.

He's still got less fight experience than just about anyone on the ultimate fighter even, it's going to be a few more fights before he starts feeling comfortable. Thats when the full on explosive Lesnar will be back if you ask me, with poise, its going to be a sight to see. Right now he is still focussing almost entirely on not getting into a possition to get subbed.

I was thinking the exact opposite actually. If he'd gone for the full speed double leg on Randy right after the first time he rocked him in round 2, he probably would have pounded him out right there. Instead he was too tentative and got leaned into the cage.

Once he's comfortable that he can avoid subs, we'll see much more bullrushing not less. It's going to be good times.

I'm not quite sure what he wanted to do, but when he saw Randy do that little dance, he just ran at him. I dont even think Brock knew what he wanted to do. And if he'd have bullrushed for the double leg, he'd have probably missed like he did with Herring

Brock Lesnar: ufc heavyweight champion of illegal strikes!
i hate him so much...

[D.P.]

I see we're still not past the excuses..

[boodaddy614]

Hey I used to hate Lesnar only for his attitude. I was thoroughly impressed with the way he handled Couture and I must admit he deserves the belt. I can't even think of a heavyweight that can take him outside of Fedor, maaaaaybe Tim Sylvia but only if he sharpens his game up. I'd like to see Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar though.

Sounds smart. Nogueira's going to have a tough time taking him down or hurting him much inside the clinch.

I wonder if we ever will be.

We will never be past the excuses.
