I concour with Krispy. I fucking hate Syliva.

actually i think sylvia is amazing. He has some incredible defense both standing and on the ground. Thats why people get pissed. No one can do anything to him unless your name is Couture and you clinch like a T-Rex.

RP, a T-rex wouldn't have a very good clinch due to it's tiny arms..

See I dunno. I agree that nog could beat him because of all his techique and knowlege, but if sylvia got put to the ground hed get his head pownded in. Of course we have to see how brock can take a hit, but judging by how he continued to perforn at the wrestlemania when he nearly broke his neck with the star press, I think it would take a lot to KO him.

was thinking more inline with his jaws

Ahhh..

If Dana books Lesnar properly, he'll be the most dominate champion in their history. I don't think he will though and to be fair, it's too hard too because he needs at least 5 fights before he gets a good test and he isn't gonna get that in the UFC.

wanderlei and liddel is confirmed on ufc.com... and the two top names being thrown around for Lesnar's debut are brad imes and crocop

Cro Cop would be a HUGE fight, but even Lesnar winning doesn't necessarily prove he's the real deal. It could just prove Cro Cop is finished.

Yeah, but what a way to put Lesnar on the map.

Cro Cop would kill him.

Looked like Cro Cop would kill Gonzaga too, but we all saw how that worked out.

Evans vs. Bisping a #1 Contenders Match?

Rumors say that Dana White has stated the upcoming Evans/Bisping match will determine the top contender for the LHW title. I think that is STUPID considering how loaded that division is right now. Put two decent but unproven guys against each other, and boom, winner gets thrust into the title picture? What about Forrest, Jardine, Wandy, Houston...I mean Wandy needs to do a little proving in the UFC, Houston could use another fight against a top level guy, but Evans and Bisping are barely (if even) top 10 guys in that division.

I agree WTF if it's true. Evans didnt prove shit against Tito..and Bisping needs work..Forrest, Jardine are more deserved.

Frank Trigg vs Paulo Filho

Gonzaga had more than one MMA fight and had fought in the UFC before.

A virtually unthinkable upset nonetheless.

The only way Cro Crop faces Lesnar is if UFC absolutely feels Cro Crop has nothing left to offer them and will lose. No way UFC feeds Lesnar to Cro Crop knowing theres a chance Cro Crop wins. Just wouldnt make any sense for Lesnars first fight.

Yeah that's why it was a number one contender fight right?

It was declared a number one contenders match so Cro Cop could get his title shot...

Only it didn't quite go as planned for Dana and the UFC.

Dana picked Gonzaga to win.

You can't sit here and tell me Gonzaga isn't a better fighter then Cro Cop. Gonzaga is just really a good all around fighter.

Not really that big of an upset, but just really a shocking ending.

I'm not saying Gonzaga isn't a good fighter, but he was a nobody before that fight and 95% of the population did not expect him to win. And I'm sure Dana White did say he though Gonzaga would win, they wanted to add a little credibility to his unknown name coming into the fight.

You used Gonzaga as an argument to push Lesnar against Cro Cop. Lesnar isn't close to the level of fighter Gonzaga is. How can he be with less than 1/10 the experience?

To be fair we've only seen one fight of lesnars and the guy was a fish. He could come in like houston alexander and blow through everyone. Or he could be another huge recent signed flops that the UFC seems to be getting. To say hes not at the level of gonzaga, although most likely true, may be unfair due to brock's credentials as a collegate athlete. Theres no belts in wrestling to show rank like there is in BJJ and most martial arts and no big professional level like boxing. He won basically the pinnicle of his sport (american wrestling is very different than international or olympics styles) which ends when he leaves college. With basic striking and good BJJ defense he could beat anyone in the division.

We really have no idea where Lesnar ranks as a fighter, he's had one fight. It may have been a fluke cause the guy sucked that bad. Or it may be the same thing Lesnar is going to do to everybody he steps in the cage with.

My comparison was just that you cant say "Cro Cop would kill him"...because most everybody said Cro Cop would kill Gonzaga too, and that didn't exactly happen.

Can't wait to see Lesnar in the cage. They'll bring him up slowly I imagine with low ranked fighters..so hopefully he's the real deal.

A weak ppv in november but can't wait for Silva/Liddell now..two men with their backs against the wall.

1 - Lesnar ranks the same as every other fighter with 1 pro win under his belt.

2 - Your comparison wasn't at all logical. I might beat Fedor then because nobody expects it.

Yeh, uh, that really is not even remotely close to what I said.

An unknown professional fighter, is an unknown professional fighter. And it is impossible to predict an outcome, especially (in the case of Lesnar vs. Cro Cop) one appears to have a lot of potential while the other appears to be at the tail end of his career.

come on... your better than this

theyre saying gonzaga vs. Werdum at UFC 80 in Newcastle

That's cool for me.

You guys are pretty serious about your MMA huh?

Oh I love MMA. I just find it hilarious how worked up some people have got in this thread.
