Or Heath will just knee the living shit out of his ribs from side control.

Possibly, but I find it hard to believe that anyone will get Brock in side control. More likely Heath will look to catch a hold of something when he rolls out of position to create a scramble.

Heath needs to extend this fight and test Lesnar’s cardio. Make Lesnar’s weight work against him by gassing him. He can then pick him apart.

Lesnar needs to end this quickly and watch for Heath’s scrambling (agree w/ john).

Probably right, Brock is just a big strong dude, getting a good top position would be one thing but keeping it is probably a totally different story.

John, why do you always spell Herring’s name ‘Hearing’?

John, I’m going to have to disagree with you. Wrestlers are too good at scrambling. Heath won’t be able to roll someone with a good wrestler’s base like Lesner. If this fight goesto the ground it’s over.

why does everyone thinks Lesnar hits hard? i still havent seen him box. HAMMA-fisting doesnt count, with hands like his all he needs is gravity there.

He’s far and away the strongest fighter in UFC, and his fists are the size of bricks. That has to hurt.

droped Mir to ther canvas with 1 punch, shows some klind of power. His power will also increase as his technique gets better.

Yeah I always muspell Herring’s name.

jv: I agree! its really not fair to Burns’s opponents. u r right, NO one is going to want to fight him. I doubt any fighter wants to risk loosing their vision to fight a C-level fighter like Kevin Burns!

Sorry, Burns cause I like you, this is just real talk!

I agree with JV..After like 3 eyes pokes during that match.. to then..win via “EyePoke/TKO”..and to top it off..he reveals to the MMA world.. " I can’t throw a closed fist jab.. I have to keep my hand open.. I’ve broken it.. 3X in 16months.. woah.. Burns.. Your a tuf cat.. game fighter..much props for tapping out a BJJ phenom( You should of gotten a Purple belt for that..IMO )..but it’s unrealistic to think if he fights again..that the same thing..will not happen again. It’s one thing what Nick Diaz does inhis boxing style with keeping his hands open.. more to measure up his shot.. but when he strikes..it’s with a closed fist. I really do not want to see another Burns/Johnson incident.. so I hope the UFC can straighten this thing out..like Burn’s hand.

I thought Johnson was gona go crazy after that bullsh*t decision! He really took it well considering the damage it could have caused.

He definetly took it better than I would have!

Oh yeah, I fogot to mention that ElitexC has signed John Alessio, not a bad pick up for them.

Alessio vs. Alvarez at welterweight would be an interesting fight. Or alessio vs. Semtex would be awesome as well

Yep.. I would of been tight. real tight.. Like " get the F’ away from me.. tight.."

you guys are a bunch of puss*ies and so is johnson, afraid of a finger poke? yea real tough guy he is… id be much more afraid of shogun’s head stomps, eye poke? give me a break

I’m not going to go down to your level on this.. but the only thing else I have to add.. in the first UFC’s 1 through whenever a the added the rules and weight classes.. when there were no RULES.. No head butting. No eye poking, No groin shots. Those were the only rules.

I would be bit more afraid of getting a Shogun head stomp..if I could’t see! Eye pokes..got no business in MMA.. if this was a bar fight..so be it.

true… im never really too serious about anything, so dont be insulted at my comments… ever. lol anyways i still think johnson is being a wuss, shouldnt he want to go back in there and demolish burns for that illegal strike?

You call us puss*es and you dont want us to be insulted? If we were on the yard, do you know what would happen to you? Im gona have to bash your a$$ till I feel better.

I don’t think Johnson was being a “wuss” at all.. by far. He fought real hard..was to some degree egding out a win if the fight would of went to the judges..till the 3rd eye poke F’d every thing up.. then he gets shafted by the ref..losing via eye poke/TKO??

As the crowd was booing.. he got on the mic and said for the fans to chill and give Burns his cred for fighting hard.. and things like "this’ happen.. Well sometime after this..he gets to sit down and watch the fight like we did.. And he sees/hears what Burn’s post fight comments about.. how he can’t do nothing about it.. cuz he broke his hand 3X in the last 16months ..he can only throw open handed jabs… .which means..all of his fights are at a high risk of seeing the same thing go down. MMA fighters work too damn hard with their training camps.. cutting weight etc.. to get shafted like that. The NSAC shouldn’t of even allowed him to fight under these circumstances..for the exact reason for how Johnson/Burns fight went down.. our sport and our fighter’s need to be protected.

i think he just needs to learn how to palm strike. then he will ok, atm he just throws a retarded half palm, full fingers jab o’ death

All I know is that IO wouldnt want to fight him again either.

He has nothiong to prove because he was clearly outclassing burns as the fight progressed. He was about 1 minute away from a Unanimous decision win. WShy risk fighting a guy that can potentially blind you illegally? U heard what Burns said about his hand and how he throws his punches so why would u fight him again.

No point!

TheNegation, You are right..“He already has fans”..Damn straight!!..He had more fans then most Top MMa fighters before he ever fought in the UFC…

As far as MMa fans?? He has those aswell. For I am a fan of brock. I will admit, I did not like the idea of having a former WWE star coming over to MMa at first. But after his 1st fight and the countless interviews I have seen with him,- he has grown on me..

I think he is a beast, and with a good camp, he will be a force in the UFC HW division soon enough..He shows respect for the sport, and he has a great mind-set to compete..I really like his personality and the way he “keeps it real”…And also, choosing to fight only top fighters while he is still a rookie shows me he feels ready to make an impact..(confidence)
He knows he could have turned left on easy-street after his loss to Mir, but no’….He has stepped up to face another big HW with great JJ..Heath is like a better version of Frank Mir..Herring’s Texas JJ is better then Mir’s JJ, and Heath can stand and bang too…..

I actually think this is a worse match up for Brock, Heath might not be as good on the ground as Mir with subs, but he’s a more well rounded fighter overall IMO. And he’s said in interviews (and I agree) that Brock isn’t going to put him in a position or do anything to him that he hasn’t experienced/seen before. Besides the size and the strength of Brock, which is actually a lot to contend with, he really doesn’t have an advantage here.

I think the Coleman match up would have been better for Brock, maybe not as exciting for the fans, but after notching a win and having more time to train I think his level of confidence just getting that 1st win would contribute to us seeing an even better Lesnar. Who knows what adjustments he’ll make in response to that last loss if any, I would think we might see a more cautious/tentative Brock this time around and that might just give Herring the edge.

hes never had a 300lb muscle on top of him pounding his face in, or a legit collegiate wrestler shoot a double leg on him, and there isn’t a fighter in the world as strong as brock.. i don’t see heath reversing him with all those wizzers like he did to kongo since brock is the best wrestler in the ufc.. he’ll be the heavyweight gsp in the next year people saying velasquez will be the next big thing is stupid, brock would murder him hardcore

Velasquez looks real promising, i’m not counting that guy out, he showed some great technique in that last fight, made that shit look EASY.

I like Cain alot, but he will never be champion as long as Nogueira is around!

i cant believe i started a velazquez nuthugging train when i meant to say hes overrated, overhyped… "another hyped heavyweight. I don’t think I need to say his name " thats what i was replying to!!!!!!!!! shame on me

Velasquez = Mexican racist

LanceLegweak, Is that all your going to talk about?

I agree JV. The guy has a Brown Pride tatoo. So what? Who cares? Goody for him. If people don’t like it, don’t watch him fight. And don’t continually make an issue of it. Jesus, has everyone gone “sensitive” recently? This is a COMBAT sport we usually discuss.

Lancelegweak is a troll. He only posts when he wants to incite something.

i agree with that guy though, if someone had white pride they’d be racist… and you would all call him out on it everytime his name came up

thanks

Yea I’m curious on that one too, I think he should really work on some boxing/ muay thai, who’s gonna shoot on Lesnar and take him down? Nobody.. and if he lands a clean shot it’s nap time. He should definatley try to make the transition into a striker as his carreer progress’s.
