Heh, nice to see someone else actually watched that fight too, everyone keeps saying how Lesnar dominated Couture, but I had Couture winning and Lesnar looking pretty gassed against an "old man".

Yes, but when a person is bigger proportionately, their lungs are bigger as well, which will supply the bigger muscles with oxygen, which is somewhat the case with Brock. Brock is just much bigger than Randy overall, including his lungs and vascular system.

Which leads me to believe that by the time he comes to fight brock again (for the title or not)
he can be just as big and in shape as lesnar, taking away his main advantage.


lol.. mir is still fairly young and he will still probally fill a little more but unless your willing to wait a while he's not gunna get brock big.

LoL: Mir will lose III...

the real question is:
why not give him the credit.. he is the mother fucking champ /// you are mad /// get the fuck over it..
Lesnar can eat 4 of your families generations in one sitting...

Anyone who dislikes Brock isn't a true fan of MMA, there isn't anything to dislike about him.

so once again... you losers should try and get an opinion that makes sense


theres isnt anything to dislike about him?
hes a douche, acts like a prick
he loses one, beats HEATH HERRING... then gets the title shot
kind of shitty when someone like fitch has to win 8 in a row in the ufc before he gets his title shot.

i personally dont like him, but im not going to say he sucks because if he sucked at mma, he wouldnt have the belt.
he does what he does well, and thats really all that matters in the end.
i just cant say hes #1 because he just hasnt done enough yet.

thats a really unfair comparison between fitch and brock. when brock got his shot no one was at the top of the hw heap the ww contender roster is way larger.....and he won..and defended his title......getting a title shot doesn't have to be about grinding out a long campaign for it..it can simply be a matter of who has the best chance at winning the title..obviously brock had a good chance...since he won and defneded it.

was it really so obvious?
personally i thought couture was going to win and i know plenty of others who felt the same
imo it wasnt all cuz he had the best chance of winning it. put the same exact fighter in the ufc minus the name, and he wouldnt have had a title shot as quick as brock did, especially after losing his first fight.

You cant fault him for getting a title shot.. not his decision. Anyone would have taken it i mean really your going to say something about when he gets a title shot. People wanted to see him fight so Dana made it happen.

Italics: Who at the time was a better hw contender than brock? No one really stood out.

Bold: Put the exact same fighter in the ufc, minus the name...and tell me people would still be mad about him having the title shot after winning it and defending the belt successfully.


also, yes it was that obvious. http://www.bestfightodds.com/fighters/Randy-Couture-79 brock was the slight favorite...obviously people (the massive betting public + pundits) thought brock had a very good chance of beating couture.

i figured brock would win but i do think he got the title shot to early although it didn't bother me because if he wasn't worthy of holding the title, he would lose it right? hasn't lost it yet
