Brock seems he lost interest in fighting.......
He got paid millions to fake fight- then he made a fraction of that to fight for real.
So fake fight for MILLIONS?
Or real fight for HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS?
you do the math I can see why he lost interest in fighting
It was all good and fun when you win or have a little knee lock,
but getting pummeled by Shane and Cain sucks I bet!!!!
with pillow punches?
Cain won’t be knocking anybody out. Brock just reacts badly. Cain couldn’t put Kongo away.

Didn’t Cain have the hardest punch ever recorded on sports science? I’m pretty sure that he did and that included professional boxers as well.
I think you're correct Ryan
I know im not putting my head in the way of Mr Velasquez’ fist…

If the book gets good reviews for Brock openly talking about being such a puss I’ll read it.
Cain KO'd Nog in the 1st round.
Nobody else has been able to do that. Mir put him away but that was Nog at 25% and Fedor couldn’t do that with 3 tries. Sports science said cain hit harder than Ivan Drago from Rocky 4 was was consider uneralistic back in those days. Sounds pretty crazy if he’s punching that hard but SheepleBuster, learn what you’re talking about next time ok slick? Got everybody in here correcting you making you look all stupid and shit. lol
Coker feels the rankings are unjustified because Werdum beat Fedor so he thinks he should be #1. What he doesn't realize is that Fedor was only considered #1 for the fact that there was no clear cut stand out in the UFC's HW division at that time and with Fedor ducking top competition the rankings still must be set. Someone had to be placed in that #1 spot so because of this and of his longevity he stayed there from his Pride days. The guy had not proved he was still the #1 HW since those days when he's not facing top 5 guys unlike other #1 ranked fighters in their divisions who clean them out.
Mir put him away but that was Nog at 25%
LMAO that is BS

You see
Puck is so in love with Brock that he needs all of his opponents to seem legit. The universe knows that NOG was deminished due to staph. Puck just cant accept that Brock was a sham who only beat hand picked opponents, guys out of prime,and cans.
Since 7/08: Fedor has fought 4, agreed to fight 5 times, Brock has fought 5, Cain has fought 6, Big Nog only 3, Mir has fought 5, Carwin has fought 4, Werdum has fought 4, JDS has fought in 6, Silva has fought in 6, and oddly, Overeem has been the HW workhorse fighting 7 MMA fights in that span (plus several k1). Theres the top ten. I love how people say that Fedor never fights...he is right on average with the rest to the top 10 in the HW division. Fanboy perception is wrong again...shocking.
Striker go back to school
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
As a Nog fan and a Mir hater I hope that staph was the reason for Nog's awful display
Problem is he looked just as old and slow against Cain, Sylvia and Herring as he did against Mir. Sad to see one of my MMA idols losing/scraping wins against guys he’d have destroyed in his prime.
"There's a few very good judges surrounded by a bunch of incompetent morons, who know nothing about the sport. They need to do something about that, because it's ruining MMA. It's making people think that this sport is corrupt. It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer and total incompetence."
Joe Rogan speaking the truth. Sort the judging out now.
The staph must of been in his chin as well I guess
Maybe brock had a staph infection to and thats why he looked bad LOL
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
I guess Nog had staph when he fought Sylvia, HH and Cain?
Cause he’s slow as shit.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
Yet
He looked just fine against Randy.And by your guys accounts Randy is still going strong, right. Or wait…did Brock fight somone out of prime….Hhhhh?
Sorry guys, the staph didn;t effect his chin but it effected his ability to block. He looked even slower against Mir…everyone knows this. Thats why a rematch was scheduled. Get it? But keep pretending that Nog was slow, then got fast, then slow again. Mir was due to staph.

You have to be fast to beat Randy?

Keep reaching pal. You might accidentally come up with a fucking clue one day.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
Oh so...

Then Randy is slow. So tell me who did Brock beat that was worth a damn,,,,nobody thats who. Keepo diggin yourself a hole.

Who did Overeem beat that's worth a damn?
Yet you’re able to say he’s a top 5 by grading his skills. Same idea.
He’s a giant wrestler. Not difficult to figure out he’ll be tough to beat.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League

There's not many people like that, SD.
He could still be a top 8 fighter with his rudimentary skills. Not bad for a guy that jumps from job to job and only really put 4 years into this sport.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
Look at Barnett
He has improved his stand up but back when he was first in Pride and late UFC his stand up was brutal and even know is not that great but his ground game is one of the best in the game and a reason he was one of the best and may still be?
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Couture, Mir and Carwin
Are better than any fighter Overeem has faced a t HW and hell is better than any current day HW has faced. There is debate on Fedor, Cain and JDS but thats about it.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
He looked slower against Mir than what?
He always looks slow. Tim fucking Sylvia was beating him to the punch! And what was that a year after Fedor beat him in his “prime”.
You’re so simple.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
He has always been slow
it’s not like Mir is the first to hit him in the face. I hope we get to see Mir vs NOG 2 anyway.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
But Mir was the first to KO him....
Hmm a BJJ guys KOing a guy that Crocop and Fedor couldn’t…I wonder if there was another factor?

So your saying he must of had staph for Cain as well?
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn

Your retarded striker, you don’t even know what a can is or what out of prime is because what you just stated makes Fedor sound worse than Brock.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Right...
Wrong!
Fedor fought the best of the best in thier primes. Period.
Yes he ALSO fought so substandard fighters…but tell me again who has fought a better set of opponents int hier prime than Fedor….
thought so.

staph or no staph
He’s slow as shit. He will lose to Mir if they fight again.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
Exactly
Staph or no staph, Nog would not have beaten Mir that night and it pains me to admit that. His speed has gone and he can no longer rely on his chin to cover up his lack of head movement. He’s still a class act though and I’ll cheer him on in his next fight.

Well said
I thing NOG has lost a step as well.
But that doesnt really make Mir (one of Brocks opponents) look very good.
Too bad. In all reality, I actually hope NOG retires. The HW is too powerful these days and he open to get fucked up bad.
Stay healthy NOG. You gave us so much already.

Once again Striekr what you state can go go fo any current day HW
What happen in Pride is history. You think AA, Rogers Syvlia are better than Couture Mir and Carwin were I believe the opposite either way they are all good fighters and I think it’s ignorant you call any of them cans. I also think Cain is better than Werdum so I must say overall Brock in my OPINION has faced better current competition overall. What fighter has faced better? You may have a few fighters 2-3 at most that have faced as good as competition as Brock has and regardless his opponents are far from cans.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
I wish Nog and Randy both retired after their epic fight
Neither of them will ever challenge the elite again so it would have been nice to see 2 legends go out on top after putting on a legendary fight with their health and legacy intact instead of going on for too long and taking unneccessary beatings/freak show fights.

Throwing 1 hard punch is pretty cool but that does not mean he throws those in fights.
It is like guys in the NFL who run a sub 4.3 40 but do not burn everyone in the NFL, they have speed but it is not functional to the NFL speed. Like Bruce said about breaking boards, “Break board is easy, board no hit back” same goes for a heavy bag that measures how hard you hit.
by Edgecrusher71 on Jan 5, 2011 8:29 AM EST up reply actions
I think he just meant that its easier to put all your power behind a punch when throwing it at a stationary bag that has no possibilty of throwing back.
sometimes, in fights, guys dont sit down on their punches as much as they do when hitting the bag because they wanna be able to move out of the way of counters quickly, dont wanna stand in the pocket and trade, etc.

So...
I think he just meant that its easier to put all your power behind a punch when throwing it at a stationary bag that has no possibilty of throwing back.
Yes, but that doesnt explain why nobody else on planet earth has been able to record a punch of that caliber. I mean was Cain the only one that got a clean shot at the measuring bag? Did the pro boxers have another boxer stand beside the bad throwing haymakers while the test was happening? No.
All things being equal, Cain throws harder than anyone in the known universe.
Since 7/08: Fedor has fought 4, agreed to fight 5 times, Brock has fought 5, Cain has fought 6, Big Nog only 3, Mir has fought 5, Carwin has fought 4, Werdum has fought 4, JDS has fought in 6, Silva has fought in 6, and oddly, Overeem has been the HW workhorse fighting 7 MMA fights in that span (plus several k1). Theres the top ten. I love how people say that Fedor never fights...he is right on average with the rest to the top 10 in the HW division. Fanboy perception is wrong again...shocking.
Well harder than anyone who did that test
But the point still stands, Cain does have punching power and it’s laughable how people still use the Kongo fight to discredit him, especially when that is the only fight that Cain has gone the distance.

Joe Rogan speaking the truth. Sort the judging out now.
Well yes sort of
To throw a punch that hard you need a static stance that is only conducive to throwing a power punch and in MMA guys need to be on there toes to react to punches, kicks and takedowns. Same thing goes for a guy in the NFL with elite speed at the combine, does it transfer over to the game? Cant hey run routes, make a guy miss or even still have the speed with pads and cleats on.
Cain is a tough guy and can clearly throw a hard punch but it has not been shown to carry over and be what I would call “functional power” because that is what they call speed in the NFL “functional speed.”

Edgecrusher, name one player in the NFL that runs a legit 4.2something 40 that doesn't burn people in the league.
The only one I know of off the top of my head that runs a legit 4.2+ 40 is CJ2K and he smokes everyone.

4.33 Ulf. There are not many players in the NFL with a sub-4.3 40, and the ones that do aren't getting run down from behind.
"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."-Michael Scott
I played college football D2 with a guy that at his Pro Day ran a 4.34 which was the 3rd fastest time period that year for rookies going into the NFL
He was a track star as well. Did he burn some guys yes, but with that speed in D2 he should have been destroying everybody, was he fast yes, was he 4.34 fast out on the field, no. Michael Bennet ran a 4.28 back in the day and was not a crazy good running back. He could run one direction in a perfect scenario very fast but did not put it to great use, I would say the same about Cain’s power.
by Edgecrusher71 on Jan 5, 2011 10:29 AM EST up reply actions
I even mispoke
Bennett’s fastest time ever was 4.13 so that is WAY sub 4.2

"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
I agree but
not 1 punch destruction, I am the hardest hitter in the world good. That is the point. I said yes he hits and hits hard but it is not Mike Tyson or Shane Carwin 1 punch devastation like that one punch test shows he has.
by Edgecrusher71 on Jan 5, 2011 10:52 AM EST up reply actions
Well done, you literally gave one example, and it is a guy that still has a job in the league, and I'm sure never gets run down.
The comparison to Cain seems ridiculous with both of his last 2 fights ending in 1st round destructions.
"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."-Michael Scott
As far as one punch power he has a good point Dice
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Its ridiculous to say he has pillow hands
Equally ridiculous to think that just because he can throw one hard punch in a perfect situation that he has one punch KO power in the cage when he has really never shown it.
by Edgecrusher71 on Jan 5, 2011 11:54 AM EST up reply actions
Never gets run down when he runs in a straight line
Still with that speed for a RUNNINGback he isn’t that good because it isn’t that functional when he uses it in football when you have to cut, be patient etc… same goes in MMA, Cain could KO a guy with one punch but when considering the sport as a whole he fights well balanced instead of just head hunting and throwing big bombs. I would say that is more effective but at the same time he has NOT shown big KO power. TKO is different than KO.
by Edgecrusher71 on Jan 5, 2011 11:56 AM EST up reply actions
Cain has finished all but one fight including stoppages over Brock, Nog and Rothwell
It doesn’t matter if he has one punch KO power or not, he clearly hits hard and accurately which is why he’s the HW champion. Just because he doesn’t highlight reel KO every opponent doesn’t mean that he lacks power. And taking his time with his punches, waiting for the right point to strike seems to work a lot better than throwing wild hooks looking for the KO before gassing, that’s why he’s the champion and Carwin isn’t.

BAH!
He does the argument came from people talking about how he hit harder on sports science than any boxer and I was just saying take numbers with a grain of salt when they were taken in an environment that is not conducive to how he fights!

I don’t think money was a motivating factor for Brock. The thrill of competing is what drew him to the sport. Brock could make money off of professional wrestling when he no longer able to compete but right now Brock still has a lot to offer and if he remains dedicated and becomes more open-minded about where he trains, he could solidifiy himself as one of the greats.
Money was and IS a motivating factor for him - He has expressed he wants out -
I’m not sure of what you mean by open minded as he isn’t training since losing to Cain – There’s no motivation or dedication there mate.
G -Sot hits my G Spot
Edgar's the real Rocky Balboa
By Dave Meltzer | December 29, 2010
Meltzer said on his radio show that the fight with Velasquez has changed Brock’s attitude on fighting and he is at the stage in his life where he doesn’t want to get injured. He’s very well off financially and the business man in him apparently knows that it may be time to move on.
Meltzer also mentioned that Brock hasn’t trained a single day since the Velasquez fight nor he has returned any phone calls to Dana or Zuffa about upcoming matches.
G -Sot hits my G Spot
Edgar's the real Rocky Balboa
Dana said on MMA Connected last night
when asked about Brock, Dana said he hasnt spoken to him at all since the fight. The interview was this weekend at the fights.
and Boom goes the dynamite.
I remember reading all of that stuff but I thought that Meltzer later came out and said that his statements were blown out of proportion and that he wasn’t saying that Brock wouldn’t fight again.
No it was after that Dana was being questioned -
"He can’t leave the UFC, he’s under contract," White told reporters.
He can’t fake fight for the WWE?
"No," White emphatically stated.
What about a special appearance?
"Row 3, Seat 16, Aisle 2 sounds good to me," MMA’s head honcho joked.
G -Sot hits my G Spot

Right. I remember Dana’s interview as well. Are you saying that Meltzer said that after hearing Dana’s interview or that Dana is the one who put that in our heads? I don’t think that Brock is done fighting though and Meltzer doesn’t seem to think so neither according to this interview. http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/12/29/1903215/dave-meltzer-publicly-clears-up-what-he-meant-by-the-brock-lesnar
I think he is saying that Brock is looking for a future exit strategy while making money. That would include Brock making money while being able to compete and then using professional wrestling later on down the road.

Why did the condom cross the road?

That reminded me of a story I was told about my grandfather from CB.
He was always intimidating his daughters BF and his buddies. Some day when he was drinking and they thought they could set him strait if they jumped him while he was drunk.
One guy [my future uncle] knocked on the door and asked him to come out side and talk while his buddies waited at the side of the house. He had a beer in his hand. They jumped him and in the process he dropped his beer.
He beat the 4 of them on his porch and then picked up the one that had an afro and used his fro to mop up the beer on the porch.
LOL
then tossed him off the porch and went back inside.

sounds about right
I lived in Residence in University with a guy from Cape Breton, who today I consider one of my best buds. I dont even know where to start the stories about him, but his motto was “some people just dont give a fuck” and I can honestly, truely say, he lived up to that.

On february 5th 2011 at UFC 126 Jon "Bones" Jones will show the world that their was no need for the MMA community to hype this man because this guy is a beast with many skills and i personally will feel Ryan "Darth" Bader's pain after this fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.

Coming from a Monday Morning Brown Belt editor we shouldn't take anything stated as factual now should we Worby?
(Brown Belt =takes one up the poop hole)
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
For a non-fighter he did awfully well breaking PPV buyrate records, winning and defending the UFC HW title
If Brock’s not a fighter then what does that make Mir, Couture, Herring and Carwin?
"There's a few very good judges surrounded by a bunch of incompetent morons, who know nothing about the sport. They need to do something about that, because it's ruining MMA. It's making people think that this sport is corrupt. It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer and total incompetence."
Joe Rogan speaking the truth. Sort the judging out now.
Mir: Can
Couture:Old, slow, out of prime
Herring: Biggest can of all time
Carwin: prospect thatc ant fight two whole rounds…good luck winning in the UFC with that
Since 7/08: Fedor has fought 4, agreed to fight 5 times, Brock has fought 5, Cain has fought 6, Big Nog only 3, Mir has fought 5, Carwin has fought 4, Werdum has fought 4, JDS has fought in 6, Silva has fought in 6, and oddly, Overeem has been the HW workhorse fighting 7 MMA fights in that span (plus several k1). Theres the top ten. I love how people say that Fedor never fights...he is right on average with the rest to the top 10 in the HW division. Fanboy perception is wrong again...shocking.
We can do that with any HW just to show you how ignorant you sound
AA – glass jaw & a can
Syvlia – a fat can
Rogers – A tire man
Werdum – NOG junior by strikers opinion a can
I would take Carwin over all these bums
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Just shows how awful the HW division is because all of those guys were either champions or top contenders at one point
Hopefully Cain-JDS and the SF GP can bring some credibility to MMA’s weakest mainstream weight class.

Honestly David I think they are all good fighters
The HW division will most likely always be the weakest division infact the number great fighters now is tremendous compared to even the PRide days
In Pride you had Fedor, barnett, CC and Nog then the talent dropped and was pretty thin but you had decent fighters for their time like Randleman,AA, Syvlia and Coleman that are kind of like what Kongo and AA are now.
And now you have Cain, JDS, Fedor, Brock, Carwin, Werdum, Overeem then a little drop to Mir, Bigfoot, Barnett(he may still be elite?) Big Country then a drop to kongo, rogers, AA etc…
Overall the HW division is as deep as it ever has been and it kind of sucks they are divided but we have to enjoy what we can there are a few up and coming fighters to watch for but for the next year or two I think the guys I mentioned will still be debated as the best but many on that list are 33 years+ old and we need to start seeing some young HW move there way up. I still think Duffee has potential after his bad showing and Struve in another 5 years could be scary.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Why does the title say "The Viking"
and in the corner of the video it clearly says “this book is NOT called The Viking”
and Boom goes the dynamite.
It's all about the money these days lol
For a guy that loves his private life? Go write a tell all book? I enjoy having Brock in the UFC though. Im a fan for sure, but why do people keep saying he is done fighting for the UFC? Did i miss something?
With the win over the legend Matt Hughes the gates are slowly being greased. Soon it will be time to open the Shit gates once again.
The fact that he is writing a tell all book despite having less than 10 MMA fights under his belt...

A lot of current fighters have books out.
Writing a book doesn’t mean he has to quit fighting.
Not only did ViolentMike talk the best smack all season, but he also had the best team and won the inaugural season of the MMAmania Fantasy Football League
WWE fans, UFC fans and NFL fans
Plus he’s an interesting guy and Heyman’s writing it for him so it’ll be entertaining. He is the biggest draw the UFC has ever had and was a big draw at WWE as well so a lot of people will be interested in his story. Besides if reality show rejects or footballers wives can “write” a book then why can’t Brock?

Since 7/08: Fedor has fought 4, agreed to fight 5 times, Brock has fought 5, Cain has fought 6, Big Nog only 3, Mir has fought 5, Carwin has fought 4, Werdum has fought 4, JDS has fought in 6, Silva has fought in 6, and oddly, Overeem has been the HW workhorse fighting 7 MMA fights in that span (plus several k1). Theres the top ten. I love how people say that Fedor never fights...he is right on average with the rest to the top 10 in the HW division. Fanboy perception is wrong again...shocking.
Don't get me started on that shit Striker :) Al should sit back and enjoy the game

I remember as well
I also picked Penn to beat Edgar, Wandy to beat Franklin, Chuck & Page…I got a few wrong in the past and I imagine I’ll call a few wrong in the future as well. My early predicition for the SF HW tourney is Barentt to take it all but I want to see him fight at least once before I place any kind of wager on it?
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
Barnett's a decent shout if he can get licensed and isn't too rusty
I wouldn’t be surprised if Fedor and Overreem lost their first round fights, Werdum’s already beaten Alistair once and Silva is a good all rounder with a lot of motivation to beat Fedor and prove himself as an elite fighter. As long as he doesn’t stay on his feet too long he could pose some problems on the ground, his BJJ is too good for him to get submitted and he has a good top game.

I can't see Fedor losing to Bigfoot but you never know
I’m intrigued by Overeem vs Werdum. If you see there last fight reem was only 25 and much smaller than he is now.

Book has nothing to do with him quitting, guessing it's more about WWE
For to people assume that he is planning to sum up his career and quit MMA is funny… Even if was involved with the project while hunting (which I doubt)! Putting out a book takes more than a couple of months work (UFC 121 to now). As a matter of fact the book was suppose to be released around UFC 116 but they didn’t for some reason.
The book is more like Paul Heyman’s project, he decided to write a book involving Brock and them being good friends it is being promoted directly by Brock! I’m guessing it’ll have good insights on the man’s career, but a bunch of it might be WWE related.
