Just have to correct you on that one bolded part. He won the ADCC European Trials in 2005 in his division with that "gimmick choke".Originally Posted by Sydänyö
Five hours until Lesnar destroys Overeem. I would have made a poll on it, but since we have these "megathreads", I'm afraid I'll get banned if I make one.
As for Overeem being a more "complete fighter", I think that's BS. Overeem is a kickboxer, who has a gimmick choke. He has no jutsu. Brock on the other hand is a wrestler, and let's face it, he hits like a sixteen ton pneumatic hammer. I'm sure Overeem is much more talented as a kicker and puncher, but when you've got a guy who punches through a brick wall, who's a professional wrestler, someone who weighs as much as Lesnar does, and still moves that fast, it makes very little difference whether the punch or kick was artistic enough.
There was a time when I thought of Lesnar as nothing but a joke, watching WWE for fun. Now, I think he's proven he's anything but.
Either way, whoever wins, it will be an awesome match. It starts five hours from now, but I'm going to try to get it later tonight so I can watch it with friends, and hopefully can avoid spoilers.

Well thinking like that you could say that the only reason why Jon Jones is doing so well is because his massive size and reach advantage over his opponents. Originally Posted by MasterOfNone

Lesnar only has 7 fights under his belt and has 0 MMA experience before his 1st pro fight, i say Lesnar has done fairly well with his lack of experience. You say the only reason Lesnar wins is because he is a big guy, I bet Shaquille O'neal would get his ass kicked by most of the fighters in the HW division even though he would be a shitload bigger than everyone. If Lesnar was a small HW you would probably say the only reason he wins is because of a speed advantage.

Wow first off I made noo absolutes in my post so please learn to read. I never said he wouldn't get better nor did I say he won all his fights by his rediculous suffocation method. Your point would be taken with more sincerity if you didn't try to put words in my mouth.

Overeem demolished Lesnar! Grats to Overeem. Dos Santos vs. Overeem is going to be one badass fight!

That fight gives me a chubby. I've always questioned Overeem's top 10 status because of who he's faced in MMA, but no more. He proved to me he's legit. Originally Posted by pOO flinger

Won't be surprised if he goes back to wrasslin. It's apparently much safer for him and will probably pay better. Originally Posted by Orestis

Yea, no kidding! As soon as i find out when they fight i will be crossing off the days on my calendar. I have no idea who to pick to get the win for the Dos Santos vs. Overeem fight. Cerrone looked like shit in his fight. Too bad for Cerrone, i wanted him to win but oh well. Originally Posted by nbm02ss

I was kinda surprised at how respectful Diaz was after his fight with Cerrone lol.Last edited by pOO flinger; 2011-12-31 at 05:50 AM.

It's funny. Minutes after he lost, #Wrestlemania started trending on Twitter. You're not alone in thinking he'll head back there. Originally Posted by nbm02ss

It should be no surprise to anyone that Brock quit. That's what the guy does; he puts his all behind something, gets bored of it, and quits. He'll be back to WWE within a year, tire of that in a little while, then try his hand at MMA again until he's too old and broken down to continue the cycle.

It's weird because I expected it and then I didn't at the same time because of his mouth. This guy has always been the flakiest fighter I've seen. I know he's had his health issues but something about him just screamed flaky. I never did like how he got a title fight on his 4th match. I never denied him for being pretty good but it was bullshit for him to get a title fight after 3 fights, 1 of which was a loss. Originally Posted by Orestis

Brock got destroyed but to be honest is always a champ for recovering from a life threatening disease and going straight into training for a fight.
What do you guys predict will happen in the UFC in 2012 in terms of title fights and possible new champions.
Heavyweight
I think Overeem will beat Junior Dos Santos and Velasquez will earn a shot at Overeem for the title beating him and regaining the title.
Light Heavyweight
Can't see anyone in the UFC at the moment who has the necessary skill set to really give bones trouble.
MiddleWeight
Sonnen will get another shot at Silva but it won't last 5 rounds and Sonnen will not stand a chance.
Welterweight
Boring boring boring GSP out 10 months and wont fight in 2012. Hendricks v Nick Diaz is a good fight I would like to see in 2012
Lightweight
Have no interest in this weightclass
Featherweight
Jose Aldo is the Silva of the featherweight division. Tatsuya Kawajiri will come to the UFC as apart from Jose Aldo there is no one in the world you could say is better then him.
