DC vs Brock Lesnar for the Heavyweight Title

[Ben Rodrigues]

Kind of makes WWE seem even more irrelevant.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Makes sense. DC had a match against another drugged up cheater. Why Not Brock?

[Sepholio]

Hope Brock smashes DCs brain in.

[Ben Rodrigues]

More excitement in that post fight two minutes than the last five years of WWE.

[Ben Rodrigues]

DC will knock Brock out.

[Sepholio]

According to Dana White Lesnar did actually enter the testing pool sometime last week, so he would be eligible to fight in December apparently.

[Sepholio]

I guess after tomorrow night we will know who the next Universal champion is.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Excellent! I'll be in Vegas for the December UFC card.

[Emperor Smeat]

I guess after tomorrow night we will know who the next Universal champion is.
Nicholas?

He did return to the WWE very recently.

[erickman]

they need to have strowman show at brocks farm and cash in take the belt on raw Monday.

[Maluco]

It really has. They are doing what WWE used to do. End of their event last night was more compelling than anything WWE do storywise.

It's ridiculous that it has gotten to this stage but , but here we are.

[Volare]

Was coming to see if yall were talking about this or not...looks like idea is the new years eve card.

[RP]

Shocker. WWE Looks even more stupid now.

[RP]

I wonder what the wrestlers backstage feel like. Brock Lesnar hasnt stepped foot in a WWE ring in like 4 months but he can step foot in a UFC octagon to accept a challenge for a fight. That must boost morale.

[Simple Fan]

Don't get how it make WWE looks stupid or irrelevant. This is great, and I hope he is still Universal Champion by the time of the fight. I don't even think DC stands a chance.

[Jordan]

Whoever can get a takedown on the other guy will win. Brock smash or DC Crush.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Not really Brock's problem.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

D.C. will likely overwhelm Brock.

[Destor]

Having the WWE champion fight in the UFC is good for business. Dont know what this thread is supposed to be about but i promise its stupid.

Accurate.

[Stickman]

That would actually be pretty awesome.

[Cool King]

Having the WWE champion fight in the UFC is good for business.

Even more so if Brock wins.

[Cool King]

Which I think he will.

Even though I don't know anything about the other guy and had never heard of him until today.

[Destor]

Smart money is on DC

[Evil Vito]

Brock's a tough bastard but I fully expect DC to roll him

[Lock Jaw]

Brock's a tough bastard but I fully expect DC to roll him

And then Braun Strowman shows up with a WWE referee and the briefcase to cash in!

[erickman]

And then Braun Strowman shows up with a WWE referee and the briefcase to cash in!
that would be epic

[Jordan]

You can’t count Brock out... ever. He’s just too big and strong for that not to be a viable variable in a fight. I will say that due to the height difference and since Brock is a weak standup striker that DC could scoop a takedown and if he does he could finish him just like Carwin did, imagine that he got him with a choke though... I would love that.

God, that knee to the ribs is fucking brutal

[LibSuperstar]

How he didn't double over immediately I don't know.

[xrodmuc316]

DC is a better fighter, but he faces the same issue against Brock as everybody. Brock is stronger, and his wrestling mat skills make it hard to take him down.

Brock is also a tough S.O.B. He can absorb some monster shots without getting knocked out. Opposite of a glass jaw on that guy.

Add that DC is fighting up a weight class, if Lesnar gets a takedown DC doesn't escape, just has to try and survive.

To beat Brock you have to catch him with a few big shots in a row. DC is certainly capable of that, it's just a matter of doing it without getting taken down.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I would say 95% chance of D.C. winning.

Carwin didn't finish Brock though. He whooped his ass in the first round but couldn't finish it. After the first round was over and Carwin didn't finish it, he was blown up almost as bad as Punk was.

Brock took him right down in the 2nd round and tapped Carwin out with an arm triangle choke.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Carwin is about 1/100th of the fighter that D.C. is. And that's being generous.

[RP]

100% DC wins. Lesnar is just collecting another big paycheck. Nothing to see.

[xrodmuc316]

100% DC wins. Lesnar is just collecting another big paycheck. Nothing to see.

I'm not quite that sure, for the reasons I said above, I think it's more like 95% that DC wins. Lesnar is too big, strong, and fast to say he has no chance though.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

100% DC wins. Lesnar is just collecting another big paycheck. Nothing to see.

5% chance of freak injuries or Brock landing a donkey kong punch is what I was accounting for. If it plays out like a regular fight, and D.C. is even at 45-50% capacity, he takes the fight.

[Ezra]

Brock rapes DC in the ring is the only outcome i see.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

??? how?

[Lock Jaw]

With his penis sword

[Emperor Smeat]

Baring a lucky punch, best I can see for Lesnar is him going the distance and pulling off a win via judge's decision. What really hurts Lesnar is the length since his last fight and Cormier competing in 4 fights with 3 wins during that time.

Lesnar's last fight went to a decision but also had the roids controversy surrounding his win.

I wonder what the wrestlers backstage feel like. Brock Lesnar hasnt stepped foot in a WWE ring in like 4 months but he can step foot in a UFC octagon to accept a challenge for a fight. That must boost morale.
If anything, they should be more upset at Vince since he caused the mess with the Universal title to happen from his constant flip-flopping of plans.

Wouldn't be surprised if some actually did feel petty because of their egos like Cena with Rock in films or Graves with Punk in MMA of Lesnar getting big opportunities outside of wrestling.

[Savio]

I didn't see the fight last night but I could see brock winning by decision.

[slik]

This seems dumb.

[Savio]

For who?

[Sepholio]

Yeah, I'm feeling Brock has more like a 33% chance to win, at the least. I don't know how many of you watched the event last night but DC appeared to get very lucky. The shot that sent Miocic down wouldn't make Brock flinch. I honestly don't know how it put him down, I mean it landed flush but DCs arm was completely bent and he was swinging from an awkward angle with no extension.

Before that moment DC was for the most part getting popped over and over again. He landed some shots too, mind you. But the biggest tell was that Miocic, who has very little if any ground game, avoided the takedown attempt from DC and turned the tables and took DC down instead and even had his back for a split second and seemed like he didn't know what to do. Lesnar would have known that spot and would have choked DC out QUICKLY.

Also DC looked really flabby and seemed like he was already in the early stages of getting gassed. Not good in a 5 round fight. Although Brock blows up easy too, so that's probably a wash there.

[Savio]

Seems financially great for all parties.

[Savio]

Wish Brock/Jones fought in Dec, winner gets DC.

[slik]

For who?

Everyone....UFC running out of dream matches, desperately needing Brock to 'save them...AGAIN'....

everyone will make $$$ and then UFC will go back being decrepit as it fades slowly away...

[Sepholio]

Wish Brock/Jones fought in Dec, winner gets DC.

I agree 100% but I think Jones is still banned for another 72 years or so.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brock Lesnar always seems like a bigger deal in UFC than WWE.

[Big Vic]

"Brock decided to step in the octagon with me," Cormier said. "He's a pro wrestler. He does fake fighting. So I'll do fake fighting with you until I put my fists upside your face.":|

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Stipe has a strong wrestling pedigree and is an elite striker. And you'll find many of the all time great fighters have been "losing fights" until they weren't.

I don't even like Cormier but I've seen Brock against other wrestlers, and the results aren't pretty.

[Jordan]

Carwin didn't finish Brock though. He whooped his ass in the first round but couldn't finish it. After the first round was over and Carwin didn't finish it, he was blown up almost as bad as Punk was.

Brock took him right down in the 2nd round and tapped Carwin out with an arm triangle choke.

Ah, I had in my head that Carwin finished him on the ground. Bad memory.

[RP]

UFC is pretty fixed. If you think Dana White wants Lesnar to win and then go back to the WWE, you're nuts. The best case scenario is Crom winning. And Lesnar collects a huge pay day. It's not like Brock is protecting a major legacy in UFC. This is a money grab on both ends. And the people who lose are the ones that buy this PPV.

I'm not saying it's completely fixed, but when it gets this big and they start running promo's in octagon out there. It's fixed. The only way everyone wins, is if Lesnar loses. And he's going to get a monster payday for it. I guarantee you he gets at least 5 million for this fight. I promise you that.

Oh for sure, and so was that setup with Brock and DC after the bout. That was an angle 100%. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we found out they had Heyman write that angle lol.

I do not follow MMA much, more of a casual fan, but Lesnar has to be in UFC's top 3 of biggest draws in their history. Basing on the buzz created, probably only McGregor and Rousey are bigger draws.

Even Randy Coutore and Chuck Liddell had their best runs before UFC got wildly popular. Same for guys like Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz.

[Big Vic]

Lesnar is only behind McGregor

[Destor]

i buyrates? I believe that

[Destor]

I looked the numbers up. Very legit

[xrodmuc316]

Lesnar is only behind McGregor

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Ronda drawing more than Lesnar, just because Brock had less fights.

Regardless, Lesnar going for the title again is going to make a boatload of money for everybody involved.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

MMA Fans so triggered. It's great.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

They're triggered but they're still gonna pay lots of money to watch Brock fight

[Mr. Nerfect]

MMA Fans so triggered. It's great.

These are the exact same people who refuse to watch wrestling because they won't fall for fake shit.

[xrodmuc316]

These are the exact same people who refuse to watch wrestling because they won't fall for fake shit.

Lol 100% correct

[Bad News Gertner]

Braun should sit ringside with his MITB briefcase and cash it in when Lesnar gets knocked out

[Big Vic]

^Yes lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

These are the exact same people who refuse to watch wrestling because they won't fall for fake shit.

Yep. I fucking love it. It's why I hope (against all odds) Brock smashes D.C.

Then gets popped for PEDs again :lol:

[Jordan]

I am irritated with those who bash this “angle” so fn what? Every major promotion of a fight is an angle... you have to sell the show. Doesn’t mean the fight is a work.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

MMA fans are a very insecure, naive bunch. Brock Lesnar is like their Roman Reigns/John Cena.

[Jordan]

And somehow the card will draw nearly a million buys. I feel confident in that.

[terryna]

1000% DC winhttp://gshort.click/isna/12/o.png

[Mr. Nerfect]

Then gets popped for PEDs again :lol:

Me too. :y:
