Most Agree - Brock Lesnar was impressive!

unimpressed

dominance is not taking a beating and then pulling out a win

if that fight was in a bar or school yard playground everybody would be saying brock looked like a bitch

My grandmother could have submitted Carwin in the second round.  Getting a punch thrown at you, running away, followed by throwing yourself on the ground in a turtle shell and getting raped for 4minutes is not impressive.  The head arm choke is one of the first chokes I learned in BJJ, Chris Lytle got robbed for sub of the night.

wtf, lytle didnt win sub of the night?  that was some damn skillful jiujitsu he pulled off.  lesnar did a 101 level choke to a gassed opponent.  more ufc bias.

ill agree with all, lesner looked like a bitch!!! but if u watch all of carwins past fights he never went 100% at first seconds like he did against brock... maybe nerves or adrenaline... but he got caught.. lesner won but he did look really bad in that fight..... in the video he tried to swing and carwin bitch slapped his punches.... pretty sad... i think lesner got lucky and carwin got too over pumped... rematch he gets owned... all of carwins other top fights against ganzaga and mir he took his time.. this fight he jsut got too hyped and gassed out.

A true Heavyweight dominates..
Brock did not Dominate..
Pure luck he was able to survive the first round..
Dana got lucky this time..that the ref didnt stop the fight..
it would of been nice to see the Nuclear meltdown Dana's would of had if he is cash cow would of lost the fight....

Maybe Carwin trains his BJJ defense at the same school as Fedor.

Maybe Brock trains striking defense with 9 year old girls,  I'd compare him to another fighter but Ive never seen another fighter do that at this level.

Pretty much every fighter that Carwin has faced curled up.  Only difference is Brock is the 1st to survive.

no.  He KO'd gonzaga flat, and beat the shit out of mir, but neither assumed the fetal turtle position.

I agree...I have NEVER seen a fighter take that many blows and stand up and recover in the same round.

Pretty amazing beast that Lesnar guy is.

Mr. Emelianenko takes one punch to the nose from rogers and you say he was "dominated"

Lesnar's the champ until proven otherwise. Doesn't matter how he won or how bad a beating he took in the first round. He's the one who had his hand raised at the end of the bout.


None of these internet tough guys want to give this guy any credit, which is baffling to me.


The dude is awesome AND improving with every fight.

Well said.  The guys stands for everything I dislike in fighters.  He is cocky & disrespectful.  And he wins, not because  of his great skill, but because of his raw power.

That said, he does have amazing cardio for a guy that big, he has shown that he is very durable, and with every fight, his skills only get better.  Other than a freak punch on the button, I can't imagine anyone who can stop him at this point.

Rodgers who? Are you referring to that overweight, previously over-rated, over-hyped, HW that Overeem destroyed and exposed in his last fight?
The same guy who is not anywhere near a CURRENT Top 10 ranking...

Yes..Fedor did struggle with him. Embarrassing for Fedor really.

Agree with you and MS...

I dislike Brock really, but he did earn a lot of respect in his last fight.

Call it what ever you want, it is remarkable what he has accomplished in his short MMA career.
He is only getting better and improving. This will make it even harder for his opponents to create a gameplan to beat him.

so when shane carwin falls out of the top 10 somewhere down the road (heck you waited years to say fedor was overrated after 1 loss )  you will come back here and say brock's performance against that "can" carwin wasn't impressive?

Couple things here that you are leaving out...I have been saying Fedor was overrated WAY before his loss.  His loss just verified it to you guys who thought he was still #1 HW.

Another thing  is that I would never refer to Carwin as a can....now if he loses to several low level HW's and gets cut from the UFC, then turns around and fights a #1 ranked HW, I would can him a UFC reject. That would be the truth right?

Kind of like what Arvloski and Sylvia did. They were used for their names, not their talent, fresh of their shit canning from the UFC.

Hopefully this clears up my views for you. If you need more clarification, just let me know.

so if that happens to carwin, you won't use him as an example of brock beating "elite" fighters

you'll say brock came close to losing to a ufc reject, right?

Nice try Earl.  There is a big difference between beating Chuck Liddell or Cro-Cop in their prime, vs. beating them now.  Someone can be an elite fighter one day, and a complete can the next.  You know that, right?
