How you get that? lol

Did you even watch the fight. Saying that is utterly ridiculous.

Which UFC/MMA did Brock fight in (and win)?

poet13, I use to watch Brock when he was in the WWE if you take away all the BS that goes along with 'sports entertainment' he was one of the best competitors at that time (and 1 of 2 who were Olympic wrestlers).

Yes, I agree. I stopped and watched him a few times because he was so physically impressive, but for the most part, I am not interested in staged wrestling.

Pre-UFC, he beat a no-name Korean on an Indy card in LA within a minute.
First UFC match, he lost to Frank Mir.
Second UFC match, he beat Heath Herring handily.

MMA record, 2-1

Someone asked about where they could watch Lesnar's fights. Go to youtube. They are all there. Here is one:

Who do you guys think would win in a fight if Hong Man Choi fought Brock Lesnar??

Hong Man Choi has the potential to beat Nogueira or Josh Barnnett, and he almost beat Fedor. Hong Man Choi is almost a foot taller than Brock Lesnar, and has never been taken down before.

I say Hong Man Choi wins easily. Brock Lesnar wouldn't take him down fast enough before Hong Man Choi knocks him out.


Thanks for the uneducated analysis.

Choi Hong Man does (more like did) well in K-1 because of his ability to destroy people's faces with his knee.

Fedor's face was a little bruised, but submitting a guy roughly a minute into a fight doesn't count as an "almost loss" in my opinion, especially when Fedor was going for that armbar almost the entire fight. Hong Man wouldn't do well in MMA in my opinion because of his long limbs and lack of speed.

That said, go Couture! The way Lesnar conducted himself at the end of the fight with Herring was bullshit.

I don't see Couture getting by Lesnar or Nog. I'm not sure who is planned for his third fight but I would hate to see him go 0-3 in his comeback. Then again I didn't think he'd get by Sylvia and Gonzaga and I was proven wrong. The only fighters in the UFC I can see beating Lesnar are Nog and Werdum.

thanks for the links to the fights, i always have trouble finding UFC on youtube. it seems that the lesnar fights are up to help stoke marketing flames. i admire the packaging of UFC, but the marketing angle really ruins the whole "ultimate" ethos of the sport.

any links where i can catch whole fights without downloading?

and not to pick a fight, but choi and giant silva and those specimens already ruined a once great competition (K1), let's pray to the martial gods that no more tomfoolery is allowed in the ring.

i think couture doesn't have the strength to submit a guy of lesnar's size.

Prediction: hard, slow fight on the ground, excellent wrestling with missed submission opportunities; lesnar by decision

Submissions have very little to do with one's strength. Leverage and position are far more important. Mir submitted Lesnar with little exertion.

It turns out it was UFC 87, I just downloaded it and watched Lesnar's fight. After the first punch I knew it was over. Lesnar dominated the entire match, it was like a grizzly bear fighting a defenseless camper.
