I think we got a good shot at 100% the shields Kampmann fight is the biggest worry for me

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

i think shields takes him down and holds him there, much like Hendo fight.

I worry most about Lesnar/Cain, McGee/Jensen and Gonzaga/Schaub.

If Schaub gets outta round 1, he prob wins

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

he got smashed, and is now most likely headed back to the WWE.

Lesnar simply cannot take a punch from a HW fighter. He got hit, and goes to ****.

Cain looked awesome tho, great takedown defense, excellent, accurate HARD punches, and a killer instinct that won him the fight. I thought when Lesnar took him down the fight might go longer, but Lesnar's dumb ass tried to pass guard too fast and Cain scrambled up.

Cain did look awesome tho, I think he beats JDS.

Im disappointed in the lack of talk too and Im not a big MMA guy. Friends went nuts when Fedor submitted and now I dont hear a word about Brock.

+rep for mma talk

fedor is ducking the reem, holding out for a werdum matchup

brock cant take a punch apprantly, still inexperienced imo...but cain did dominate him, cain is also a more rounded fighter as well

sidenote: aldo turned down a fight with florian at 155

lets get some chatter in here

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

Ahh every fight that brock has won he has just honestly over powered the other guy, you take an animal like valazquez that ISNT scared of the muscles and reputation that can truly fight (and throw a hell of a punch) and brock is going to have problems. Cain was just as fast, almost as strong, and more composed. TBH though, if Brock continues to train and works his ass off and CALMS DOWN, he could be one of the greats.

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

Cool that's interesting. But I think if they fight the UFC guys and get beat in a bad way it could hurt the WEC. So it may be wisest to not. Neat info tho

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

Fabor has *****ed about the money in WEC but im sure he could have Fought Lightwieght and got more money. Not sure when the last time he fought At LW but Tyson Griffin Knocked him out once at that weight.

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

rumors are that Brock Lesnar has been offered a fight with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

I bet he takes it. He does not seem like the kind of guy that handles losing and getting his ass kicked well, so I bet he ventures back to the WWF to stay/

Dana white shot that down right after the rumor came out. Pretty much said he couldnt do any other type of show besides the ufc.

And in other news carwin is out of ufc 125 due to a back injury

he can if he quits, and im with biggin, he seems like the type of guy that will walk away and pout if he gets his ass beat. Im kind of glad it happened though, let him know that he isnt indestructible and he needs to start working on the things he sucks at instead of just bolstering that he is good at.

Re: UFC 121 pickem Get em IN while you can

He's in a contract. He can't wrestle if he wanted to.

Yeah Carwin dropped out. CroCop has mentioned that he would accept the fight. Poor guy is shot but at least he's stepping an taking fights.
