I'll be rooting for Brock, but betting on Shane

We’re going to find out a lot about Brock saturday night. I do think that Shane will test his chin, and if Brock survives and pulls out the win, I don’t see him losing for a long time.

i'm taking Carwin as well.

How come someone hasn't photoshop'd a Marvel Hulk vs Thing Comic with these 2?

Thats about the best way to describe this fight…

this will happen

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

THE TRUE NUMBER ONE HW!

Well finally we will have the true number one on sat. july 3rd. Fedor is a chump like I said he was going off of wins from 2002. He lost to werdom. I would love to see JDS cain , shane, or brock destroy him. but chumps don’t go to the big leauges.

Oh please.

Fedor was fighting real fights, while Brock was busy play-acting, ’roiding, popping pills and sucking down vodka for a living. Keep it about Brock and Carwin.

by K S on Jun 28, 2010 12:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree

Fedor has been fighting since Brock was kissing Kurt Angle. No reason to disrespect Fedor in this thread.

Advantage Brock

Size, strength, speed, explosiveness, wrestling and hat size go to Brock.
Shane gets a slight advantage in striking.
I think Brock uses all those things to his advantage to keep this one on the ground and get the TKO win, especially if it goes beyond 2 rounds wich I doubt it will.

by Gurthee on Jun 28, 2010 12:30 PM EDT reply actions  

even if brock wasnt sick as hell the past year

It would be hard to say who would have what advantage…size goes to brock, yea…we will get our answers soon enough tho

PARTY LIKE A BROCK STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...

by HellaHectic on Jun 28, 2010 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

What are you people saying

Niether Carwin nor Brock is the #1 heavyweight because as far im concerned JDS and Cain still need their shot. If Carwin wins then he is not number 1 until he defeneds his belt against one off the other guys. Brock, Cain, JDS and Carwin are all in the mix until they fight each other and defend that belt against each other.

by Mir on Jun 28, 2010 12:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Brock or Shane would be number one at least until they fight JDS and/or Cain.

Are they supposed to hold off all rankings until everyone has fought Everyone else? Someone has to be the best in the world(in your head) before getting the proof. Who would you say?

Brock will be out cold bleeding profusely sat night, and will drop in the rankings significantly immediately after

by salamagogo on Jun 28, 2010 12:57 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

#2 losing to #3 will drop him no further than #5. Sorry, but true.

IMHO, what the standings will look like after Saturday…

1. Brock
2. Fedor
3. Cain
4. JDS
5. Carwin
6. Overroids
7. Werdum

You can switch #1 and #5 since you think Carwin is going to win. Werdum shouldn’t go above SF champ, but he might go as high as #3.

Left to Right – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (happy Canada Day) Don’t bet against BZ. The next 4 nights of my life are sure to leave me with PTSD. When Fedor loses – I loses.

And who was ranked first before everyone realized they were the best?

Did they only start making rankings AFTER GSP cleared his division out? You guys seem pretty dumb to me.

Im rootijng for Brock only for the sake of seeing Cain vs Brock, not becasue ima huge Brock fan or Cariwn hater. I jsut would much rather see Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar.
