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.
This will be one of the issues hotly debated as we get closer to the fight.
My observation is that I was surprised how quickly Lesnar seemed to gas in his fight against Couture. At the end of the first round, he appeared to be breathing pretty hard. However, he had enough to come out in the 2nd round and get the TKO.
Hey man, seriously, watch the break between the first and second round, Couture was outputting 110% of his energy and Brock was taking his time, Randy is a MACHINE, but he was still huffing and puffing before the 2nd. (Of course he could chug along regardless of how gased he was.) Lesnar just sweats profusely, Just because a guy has big muscles doesn't mean his body won't be able to keep up with them. The guy is a freakish shape for a reason, I really believe the only way he will ever gas is if he lets himself get too emotional.

HAHAHA, sorry for offending you with my post, thanks for the rep.
Hey, no offense is ever taken when discussing MMA. We all see things through our own colored spectacles.
My observation about Lesnar appearing gassed is because I had never seen him that way before. There's no question Lesnar is in amazing cardio shape for a man his size.
What I took from that fight is that if another fighter can physically challenge Lesnar the way that Couture did, Lesnar can definitely gas just like anyone else. It makes me curious to see a matchup between Lesnar and a younger wrestler like Carwin or Velasquez.
Lesnar's size, strength, and athleticism makes him an exciting fighter to watch, and causes fans to create fantasy matchups in their mind. I'll wait to see how he looks against Mir before going TOO crazy trying to figure out who he should fight next.
I hate that this card is still a month and a hafl away to long for this stacked card I dont wanna wait that long to see Bisping get his face pounded in.Just looked at the card when you co-main event is GSP/Alves that is a stacked cared
I'm a bisping fan, but henderson is gonna pound his face into the mat....bisping couldn't stop rashad or hammils takedown's, how will he stop henderson?
brock's gonna shut mir's mouth up in the 2nd round with a KO...i look for him to keep it standing against mir.

Coleman/Bonner -- Coleman needs to retire...the Rua fight was actually disturbing. I thought Coleman was going to drop dead on the spot, seriously. It was like watching a father try to protect his kids.
GSP/Alves -- Alves has scared me for a long time. I predicted that GSP would get past Fitch and Penn but I'm scared Alves could pull a Matt Serra and catch GSP...
Im with ya on that Alves is a huge for 170 and he's got mad ko power I don't think GSP isnt going to stand with Alves he's to smart for that. Alves is the better striker.
this card will be amazing, gonna be holy wars on this forum in the aftermath i rekkon, i hope i can actually call some of the fights on the main card right this time cos i got none of the fights for ufc 98 right lol (wth happened to sherk?).
I can see lesnar beating mir, i was watching his first fight against mir again and he was very dominant in it, had mir on the floor within seconds of the opening and the only reason mir got back to his feet was because mazagati stood them up because of a blow to the back of the head (wich also got a point taken from lesnar and it was 1 hit with no warnings, ive not seen a penalty like it since).
Credit given to frank he used his ground skills to get brocks foot and you could clearley see him eyeing up brocks ankle a few seconds before it so brock should have been more wary. So im thinking either brock wins by TKO or mir will get another sub from his back but id figure brock will be looking for mir trying that so im predicting a lesnar win.
OMG another Brock thread
