Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

Brock is a lifetime wrestler who has the look of a wrestler on his feet. His stand up from his very first fight in the UFC against Heath Herring doesn't look any different than his stand up now. He's just never going to be very good on his feet. Some guys aren't. Sorry, that's how it is for some fighters in MMA. What part about that don't you get?

Athletics, improvement with coaching, etc. I don't see the comparison as completely dissimilar.

If you remember from previous MMA discussions, I am an admitted n00b. I respect your knowledge so I ask you things, even though you are patently abrasive in conversation. The "part I didn't get" was you making a claim and not bothering to substantiate it whatsoever. But you do somewhat in the post I am quoting now, so thank you. Your comments about how certain types of fighters not showing improvement, historically, (which I didn't know) is very interesting to me and gives some substantiation to your claim.

Second, Lesnar is done. He will never be champion again because he has been exposed. So suck it Lesnar fanboys. **** you bitches.

I like Brock, but i like Cain better. lol

TG. I agree with 90% of what you said about Lesnar. That said... the manner in which you make your point grates me to no ****ing end.

You are an obnoxious know it all. People would be more inclined to listen to you if you weren't such a douchebag about your position. We understand that you have experience in this field. Your experience though does not entitle you to condescend every poster you disagree with.

Honestly, I wish you would

... or at least dial it back a bit.vb

Brock sure can 360...

Cecil Peoples is the worst judge in the history of ever. Holy ****. I don't know how you can score that 30-27 Shields.

Brock is a 1 dimensional do nothing who will beat smaller guys who can't handle his shoot. But as Cain and Carwin have showed, if you nullify his shoot, he's a ****ing do nothing fighter. Why people had their lips attached to his nuts I have no idea.

And that sir, is the difference between a guy who knows MMA and new ****s who don't know shit, but want to suck a on a guy like Lesnar's nuts.

Where were you before the fights when I asked for a prediction from you. It's easy to say something after the fact.

No, he doesn't. He isn't head and shoulders above the class the way GSP and Silva are their class. I actually think JDS has a better shot of realling off 3-4 title defenses then Cain does.

Probably true considering it's a sport where really nobody outside of the two you mentioned rallys off 3-4+ title defenses. Just takes 1 big shot.

But, I don't think there's a heavyweight with the all around tools as Cain and that's why I like his game. He can take the fight to where he needs it to be to favor him.

JDS has great, great hands. So Cain would be wise to take him down.

**Shogun** · 10-24-2010, 07:39 AM

Im picking Cain > JDS

If you want to know why I will explain
