Shane Carwin 'honored' to fight Brock Lesnar at UFC 106

haha, I like your anti-UFC style giovanni..

On the other hand, if the UFC heavyweight division is that weak, then what does that say about Fedor, who has apparently decided that he couldn’t hack it in the UFC?

Dude’s a bigger pussy than any of us ever realized, obviously.

I still think Anderson Silva can take out either of those guys before he gets takendown… Silva should fight for the heavyweight title if he doesn’t fight for the 205lb title because of Machida.

no he shouldn’t, even if he’d win it would be wrong..

john is right, the ufc heavyweight division sucks and always has. FEDOR IS KING!!!!!

Just the FACT that Fedor even bothered to fight Hong Kong Choi made him lose all credibility in my eyes.

And now he’s in a non-MMA sparring exhibition match with Mousasi. Whoopee! (Note: the only reason I’m taping the M-1 event is because of that match, so at the very least it tells you the match was intended — and effectively so — to bring in viewers!)

bisping vs kang at 105 and it is the head liner!

this is disappointing i wont be going to see this

Back of the line maaam, I already reported this on the Dancing with the stars thread lol.

Seriously chief, who the f@ck is gonna go to this card, it’s gonna be appauling!

Wait…Kevin will post the news later and he will get the props.

You can back me up Alpha!

You’re such a hater John. While I don’t believe Carwin deserves a title shot, it’s idiotic to say Strikeforce’s heavyweight division is even close to the UFC’s. After Fedor, Grim and maybe Werdum……nothing. I’m not including a roided up Overeem. UFC has Brock, Randy, Nog, Cain, Shane, Junior, Crocop…..etc. Keep trying though John…it’s fun watching you defend daddy Fedor.

That’s amazing John. How can you have your head up Fedor’s ass and your mouth on his balls at the same time?

we talk as if fedor was looking strictly at competitioon which we all no isnt tru…
additionally im getting sick of people following ufc marketing strategy and putting brock in the same level as fedor…..i no brock is good and big and explosive…. but he makes alot of mistakes and he would not be ready for fedor…..
randy gave him a good fight, and he is 1for1 wid mir, who i still think can tap him again….
his record is shit basically…. give him some old washed up pride guys make him prove himself….cro crop…. nog…or just randy beat him in the rematch…..just isnt fedor level yet….. and obviously the ufc is given him small fights so he can hold the belt long and gain legitimacy

lol, another -1 on the ufc so called HWD…

FYI: CC will LHK’d junior into oblivion..have those body bags ready…this fluke kid will be exposed

Let me ask you something. Have you looked at the people that Carwin has faced? His most notable win is against Gonzaga. The rest have been cans. If Brock had faced the competition that Carwin had, he probably would have ended them all in the first round as well. This is not to say that Carwin isn’t a threat to Lesnar. I am just saying that it is easy to compile an 11-0 record when you have been fighting low level competition. I think the biggest threats to Lesnar are Carwin, Fedor, and Couture. (I think Couture was doing very well against Lesnar prior to that punch and it could have gone either way. Would LOVE to see a rematch)

brendan . . . thank fedor for making things this way. Its his fault youll see these upcoming HVWT bouts. And ths HVWT division fedors in is really bad *ss huh LMAO!!! FEDOR = T00L

so you dont think that werdum or overeem could take mir? nog? couture? carwin? really? because i could see either one of them beating any one of those guys

no, all those fights could go either way. I dont see werdum having a chance against any of them to be honest. The UFC also has their own “Overeem” lately in Cain, the UFC also has GG, it also has Cro Cop, it also has Eilers, Herring, Dos Santos, Hardonk, etc, and add Couture (old man, you’re just retarded), Mir, Nog, Carwin, and the biggest GEM of them all in Lesnar. Oh and the TUF season of all HVWTs coming up including Kimbo (not impressive) Slice, several NFL GIANTS, an IFL Champion, and Wes Simms (who sucks but still adds to my list). Show me the Strikeforce roster that matches that. And werdum didnt become a UFC champ because . . . because why, cause he CAN beat all those guys, no he couldnt cut it and the UFC found his fights and style lackluster, no belt for you! Overem neds to fight someone worth a damn, come on man are you serious, would he beat this guy or that guy or this guy or that guy . . . HOW ABOUT AGAINST THE CHAMP SUCKA, BROCK WOULD EAT HIM UP LIKE A DOG ON SOME STEAK SCRAPPS!!!! BESIDES!!! What does that have to do with FEDOR being the reason you have to watch all these piss poor fights takes place in either org??? Its not any of these fighters faults, not the UFCs fault, not anyones fault but fedor, his best chance to wear ufc gold has come and gone Randy “too old” Couture, beat this guy that guy whatever, come on, BEAT LESNAR!!!!

OK, I’ll bite Adam. How the hell is Cain the UFC’s version of Overeem? One is an excellent kickboxer and the other is a wrestler. They are completely different fighters.

not in fight styles, just as an upandcomer who hasnt faughtin ANYONE important but has a name out there, to me for no real reason. Nothing to do with them being exactly the same dude, we dont have to break down every aspect of their lives and what kind of cereal they eat. they are presented as top fighters when neither are in the top ten world rankings. thats all. = the UFCs version of an Overeem.

they both suck, theres a comparison for you in ways they ARE alike = )

except cain is waaaaaaaay down on the list of top (real top world class) fighters regarless if hes next to next in line for a shot, thats how the deck worked out with that HVWT tournament the ufc just put on betwen lesnar/nog/couture/mir, other guys have to get their shots, so hes waaaaaay down there in reality, Overeem sucks and hes there top dawg, numero uno, what does that say about the strikeforce HVWT roster. I wouldnt claim fedor a strikforcer yet, at his rate, strikeforce will be out of business next septemeber give or take leaving fedor a ufc fighter basicaly, in time, time he’ll only fight strikeforce cans in.

Eilers died last year, how is he relevant in the UFC’s HW division?

Overeem has 41 pro fights, Cain has six. That’s how many high-level pro kickboxing bouts Overeem has. I’d like to see how long Cain would last in a K-1 bout with Badr Hari or Remy Bonjasky. I think I understand what you’re saying (that both are overrated?), but it’s still a very strange comparison.

Yeah Adam, Overeem is an up and commer. Great knowledge of the sport that you have. Just so you know, when a fighter has more wins and losses in his record than the number of fights that YOU have seen, it means that you haven’t seen his entire career. Yeah Overeem fought Crocop, Liddell, Shogun, Buentello, Hunt, Arona, Nog, Belfort…some, he won, some he lost.But that experience does account for something….“he’s an up and commer”. LMFAO

FYI:
–Fedor isn’t a guy who came up in Affliction
–Anderson Silva has lost a fight..to Ryo Chonan. Yes the Ryo Chonan that did poorly in the UFC.
–Wanderlei Silva IS one of the greatest of ALL time. Even though he is 1–3 in his RETURN to the UFC. yeah he fought in the UFC before 2007 (when you obviously got into MMA

adam g = pwnd!

If you guys think the UFC HW division is weak, I wonder what you think about Strikefarce’s HW division. lol

BTW, werdum and Cro Cop got raped in the UFC.
Fedor couldn’t finish Cro Cop with his “god like” ground skills that he had in his Pride days. :P

I hope the Grim KOs fedor soon. :)

adam g isnt eilers dead ? r.i.p

im going to side with my G, adamG!!

his main point above is that the ufc has a better hw division than any mma promotion out there..

he may have bashed on fedor a little, and justin eilers is 100% dead, but that doesn’t take too much away from his MAIN POINT! is he wrong??

ufc~

 fedor
werdum
overeem
grim

easy choice~

fedor situation imo~[last time i talk fedor and ufc]

i personally think fedor is numero uno!~ but at the sametime i feel it was a very bad choice to sign strikeforce..

fedor would have got more money, american promotion, challenging fights and the wroks!

his reason is cross-promo? thats a focking joke!

he could wear m-1 gear from head to toe! and i gaurantee m-1 would still get more money without a cross-promo with the ufc, than he will get from going 50/50 with strikeforce..

i love fedor, but feel his status might drop if he doesn’t hold a ufc title at some point~

i just wan’t to wake up and have the best hw fighter, fight in the best mma promotion..

i have NO problem with having smaller org aka other options, but those leauges are meant for the up and comers NOT the king of the hw division..

BUT at the end of the day, the only good thing is at least i get to see fedor fight in the states!

thats it!~

money hungry greedy bastards. don’t let this economic crisis cause u to commit a ‘deadly’ sin = greed!!! why is it always about the money with dana white and his ufc nuthuggers?! if it were about the money we would have got osama bin laden years ago, 25 million to give up one guy. although money is numero uno in most americans daily life, it isn’t the same for the rest of this big, populated world. men the caliber of fedor could give 2 shits about dana’s money, actually not even dana’s money but the fertitta’s. if fedor and his mgmt. could ever get dana to sack up and go to russia they could just take his money from him, like taking candy from a small child. and if dana thinks he’s above that happening to him, he just needs to ask the owner/ceo of Yukos oil, if dana can find out which gulag he’s in.

He’s still better dead than half the SF roster.

LMAO!!!

kdog~

truth!

Keep dreaming sun

Carwin could have fists like Cock-Knocker from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, but it won’t matter. He’s too slow and dumpy. Brock is going to tool him, and all the Brock-haters will have three or four more months of crying and trying to figure out who will beat him.

lol Why cant dave chapelle come back?
poor queeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah…. Gonzaga took down Cro Cop, then took is head off when it got back on its feet.

Brock would paralyze Cro Cop. He’s the same size as Randy, but with zero wrestling.

That said, I’ll be pulling for Carwin, but predicting Lesnar.

agreed

probably, i’m not saying he wouldn’t but Brock is still relatively untested.. we don’t even know if Brock would beat Gonzaga, cause he is better than Mir and Herring too.

If Gonzaga could put two wins together we might get to find out.

GG will never beat Brock. He is too much of a head case to pose a serious threat to Brock.

He’d make a lot more as the champ though. Sponsors alone would go through the roof. I just don’t think you can be a part-time champion in the UFC anymore. Preparation is everything.

That’s about right brendan, he got 16K to show and another 16 to win his last fight.

This wouldn’t be an issue if these guys were paid more.

LOL.

dude, describe him as you want, hes a chick. Whos fedor and what the hell is this “europe” you speak of?

hahah adam you keep getting owned by stryker, here and above. ouch

nice point bringing up the waterman fight, just watched that fight a few weeks ago and really thought that if that was a few years that wouldve been brock getting his head taken off

adam got owned.

AMEN!!!

heres no ko power.
