IN THE WORDS OF "D*LO"

Carwin it’s all on you to save us fans from a Brock vs Frank lll !!!!!!!

seriously though i would want to see Frank beat Brock if he gets by Carwin here. He’s a good guy and is really good at selling fights.

there's still something so unifying about sport in it's purest form, when athletes rise above themselves and touch greatness and in doing so remind us all that we also have greatness inside of us.

MIR ON BROCK.

FARA: Is Brock Lesnar your Moby Dick?
MIR: I’m Captain Ahab and I like Moby Dick for him, he’s Big, he’s White n’ he’s a Dick.

before 2010 is over

Mir will be the undisputed UFC HW champ and in my mind there no one better to fill that role

by dia mette on Mar 17, 2010 3:40 AM EDT up reply actions  

In the video game or in reality? In last years game he was the best ranked heavyweight on the rooster. Brock would probably hold that mantle now. Carwin has a good chance of pulling up the upset. Fight I am most intrigued about is Valasquez vs Brock if that happens

by Apocacryptic on Mar 17, 2010 3:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

so you'd join ABM Roberto?

It would then look like this:

  • President:
    Daniel worby
  • Members:
    Candyce
    Two words
    Brendog
    Kg12
    MBow
    Roberto

And growing. You in?

ABM = Anti Brock Movement.

Its likely to be a hard and vigorous journey, but if you feel you’re ready for war, we could sure use you, soldier.

because you would still get raped club or no club. It’s like joining an anti sunrise club. Club or no club the sun is still gonna rise. Maybe if it was called the “we have aids club”, then they wouldn’t get raped.

I’m not saying its a guarantee or that he will even lose next fight. But you guys are soooo lost in the clouds to think Brock will NEVER lose. It’ll happen. And ABM will be there and here to witness it.

The threads that day! Oh the threads that day! Glorious.

I didn't say he'd never lose

but think about the upper end of the HW division, Frank has nothing for him, Brock’s top control is excellent… I don’t think Carwin will get past Mir, Cain Velasquez is like Brock except 40 lbs lighter. JDS is the one to watch, but there are alot of questions that need to be answered of him with TDD, ground game etc. I think Brock has this belt atleast another 2-3 fights.

mir fucked up by throwing the knee while his other leg was being grabed in a single leg TD attempt I know that knee did rock moby dick but he landed in the corner on his back pinned up against the cage with not many options

 Mir was f^cked before he threw the knee dia. Brock will make fools of you all I’m just trying to help you guys out before you become the laughing stock of mania along with Worby. Ohh well it’s fun picking on the less knowlegable fans once in awhile LOL.

Lol, its humorous. As if picking Brock is some big tough decision? Wow bravo buddy. Sure shows you’re knowledgeable and diacredits all the rest of us. Moron. You never say anything anyways unless its mimicking a Jay post on Brock, or going out of your way to post the opposite of what I say. Crushin on me?

Weird way to flirt. Just come out and say it. Don’t discredit mine and a lot of good posters just because I don’t swing that way mang. You do you, and I’m a do me.

and yet another one joins

..despite Puck’s malicious attacks. Your scaretactics fail online. And most likely in life.

Welcome Dia Mette;
The threads will start to thicken with guys like Puck who can actually beat off 4x a day to Brock (kinda impressive), so it makes sense why he gets so irate that this is happening riiight in front of hik eyes. As long as we post all our Brock thread posts with similarities that are easy to recognize we can swarm a thread. But this group is not for pussys. We’ll be getting bombarded, so we have to stick together.

Look for the fanpost on 04.15.10

That day and the posts/confirmed ABM’ers will help me see if we are serious.

The list now looks like this:

  • President:
    Daniel worby
  • Members:
    Candyce
    Two words
    Brendog
    Kg12
    MBow
    Roberto

thx Roberto!

Lol as you can see from the fuckin assholes above, its not easy. But I figure come Brock/Mir 3 time, and any other Brock fight time, we start all our headlines with ABM so its in bold and we know where to go on threads to meet and form a wall. Cause its gonna be the toughest underdog thread group out there.

If you feel you can brave the storm and stick it out win or lose til we succeed, then welcome aboard mate.

Nice to have ya on the front line with us soldier.

I just don't like this guy

“That’s just one more testament where I didn’t mean anything I said…It’s all about promoting”

He said he was worried Velasquez might leapfrog him, so he started talkin shit. I hate that shit. This isn’t WWE. Should everyone start talkin shit to get title shots? Are we gonna start seeing fake backstage fights with chairs and garbage cans to stir up the drama??? Should we believe anything that comes out of his mouth?

Why not?

Dana white acts like Vince McMahon. I see what you are saying, but how is this different than 90% of the other fighters out there and the president of the organization. Hell, he’s the worst one of them all.

Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

by fenderacoustic (formerly wAyNe) on Mar 16, 2010 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think that's what he meant Two_Words

Mir didn’t start shit talking just so Cain didn’t leap frog him. I’m pretty sure what he said was that he was staying focused on Carwin so he doesn’t get leap frogged by Cain or Nog for a title shot with Brock. Otherwise he didn’t know how long it may take to get the next shot at Brock.

No WWE action here, and if you want to pick on Mir just because he said a few things, then I’m sure you can recall the list of fighters that came out that have said similar just in the past year.

by UFC Champ on Mar 16, 2010 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

I believe him

I dont think Mir actually wants to “kill” Lesnar but i do beleive that he genuinely hates him with a passion.

by MMAhl.wordpress.com on Mar 17, 2010 1:10 AM EDT up reply actions  

I can see them hugging it out.

Mir was supposedly talking trash on Nog. After he TKO’d Nog, Mir was on his knees bowing and hugging Nog. I think the rubber match will squash this nonesense once and for all between Brock and Frank.

I'm sorry daniel but

joining that club would create diplomatic difficulties for me. I’ll be working underground on this operation. Only after the Brock era has ended will I come out and rejoice at the beast’s demise. Until then, good luck and God speed.

Whats up with,

nobody is commenting about what was said about Tito hurting his shoulder and out with Ace stepping in. I thought this was BS, Have I missed something? This is the only place I go on line to keep up with whats goin on and I swear I thought this already proven not be true. Tito having the flu and Jenna having a miscarriage or something. Can someone fill my dumbarse in on whats what.

by Rubberman on Mar 16, 2010 10:12 PM EDT reply actions  

My guess is Dave Farra knows just as much about the Tito situation as everyone else.

Then again, maybe Tito was “in the hospital” for a surgery.

Nobody knows. But, definitely dont take what Dave Farra says as the truth.

by Craig15 on Mar 16, 2010 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

what? lol they had a thead on here right after that rumor to squash it

Dana himself said the tito/chuck fight is still alive and well. And they added Randy/Ace to 115. And Chuck/Tito is looking likely to not be on 115. Probs 116 or 117.

great interview

Haha I must admit I had a great time watching this. Mir was not Mir-ish mostly and came across as kinda normal. (except at the end about Brock being a Moby-Dick)

Can’t wait for the Carwin fight. I still think Carwin can take it, but having my doubts at this point. Frank’s plan as described is exactly what you need to defeat Carwin (probably).

I liked how Frank Mir talks about missing punches as a big man and how it can affect you. Kinda cool perspective.

He is way bigger now

Will definitely effect his cardio if he has to fight brock and defend take downs.

by Mir on Mar 16, 2010 11:12 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm not talking about Mir and Brock until after the Mir and Carwin fight

 As much of a ass as Mir is he’s a smart guy and the comments were to keep him relevant like I thought. Carwin is a mystery and hard fighter to train for by anybody. Every fight in the first round!! Yeah they might not of been to great of fighters but even the top fighters have had some issues with lower ranked fighters and have at least went in to round two? I agree with Mir that he will be able to most likely out strike Carwin standing but can he take a Carwin punch, can Carwin connect with a punch, if carwin gets on top is Mirs Jj enough? I cant wait for this fight and the Fitch vs Alves fight, and topped with a GSP Hardy fight!!!

Carwin took sum huge shots against Gabe gonzaga. Can’t w8! Gus ass cards from the ufc this month.

by d*locc on Mar 16, 2010 11:47 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

The thing with Carwin though is he is improving and never been really tested

 It’s what makes it so hard in picking this fight. The experience of Mi,r as Mir has got his sh^t together and is looking at his best ever. But Carwin on the other hand is a unkown on how will do as we have never seen him really tested? He might fail but he also might be a great competitior?

by Puck Head on Mar 17, 2010 12:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

Beefed up, good cardio Frank = unstoppable

Now that Frank Mir is putting on some good quality mass and is doing some good strength and conditioning program maybe he wont gas out 2 min into the first round. Also with his striking technique improving greatly coupled with his new power he can start KOing people like he almost did with Congo. If Carwin takes the shots he took against Gonzaga coming from Mir i see him taking a nap.

by MMAhl.wordpress.com on Mar 17, 2010 1:17 AM EDT reply actions  

Thats assuming Mir wil face the same Carwin that was in the octagon over six months ago?

 Carwin will be improved, will it be enough? I don’t know I like Carwins style he may be a little slow but if he learns to move his head more and avoid damage he can make up for it in power no doubt.

I think Mir's got this..

But Carwin’s definitely got more than a puncher’s chance… he’s a big guy with good takedowns n I imagine good GnP… Mir will be slicker on his feet… it’s a matter of who connects big 1st… gotta give the edge to Mir… I don’t really care much for either fighter, but I’m gonna watch it!!
