UFC 121

[peam]

No thread for this yet?

When did John McCarthy come back to the UFC?

Predictions:

Brendan Schaub vs. Brazil Gabriel Gonzaga - Gonzaga
Tito Ortiz vs. United States Matt Hamill - Hamill
Diego Sanchez vs. Brazil Paulo Thiago - Sanchez
Jake Shields vs. Martin Kampmann - Kampmann
Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez - Lesnar

[Fallen]

Big John has been back for a few cards now. I have five bucks on Hammel beating Tito.

[peam]

Gonzaga is dead to me. You don't use Danzig's 'Mother' as your intro and then fight like a giant fucking baby.

[kookiegod]

Sanchez/Thiago is incredible so far, end of round 2....

[kookiegod]

that was awesome

[peam]

oh snap!

[StrayRogue]

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AIN!

Fucking amazing.

[kookiegod]

Wow, yah, Lesnar got his ass kicked...

Of course, being cynical, the rematch will double the buys to see Lesnar try to regain.

[Fallen]

I thought he might have been hurt, but it looks like Brock was just rocked and couldn't recover.

Seems pretty appropriate.

[SHAFT]

Hell yeah I was there. 10th row, right next to an aisle where the fighters entered and left. Slapped hands with Tito and a few other fighters. I'm 6'1 and Brock Lesnar is shorter than me if anyone can believe that. He's not as big as people think. Hell of an experience

[Buckwheet]

Uh, he is 6'3?

[SHAFT]

Uh, he is 6'3?

Not even close. They list him at 6'3 but it's more like 6'0. He was 3 feet away, I was expecting this hulking 6'3 guy to walk by. It was weird. I have a video of it but it kinda sucks. He walks to the octagon really quick

[Jahira]

I can vouch for guys not being as huge as advertised. I was at a bar where I crossed paths with Roger Huerta. I mean if I didn't know he could rip my head off at any moment, I was unimpressed. He is short, and his muscles weren't really popping out of his shirt. Not as big as he looks on TV.

[Ramrod]

Yeah, same thing with Rampage. I've hung out with him a few times and he's listed at 6'1, but I'm 5'11 and we're the same height.

Roger Huerta fights at 155. He's not that big. Everyone knows that.


I'm 6'1 and Brock Lesnar is shorter than me if anyone can believe that.

This is an absurd statement. No offense.

[Buckwheet]

When I saw him practicing with the MN Vikings he sure looked bigger than me and I am 6'1

[SHAFT]

I just felt like throwing a random wild lie out there. Never mind the guy was 3 feet away from me.

[Buckwheet]

Not calling you a liar, just saying the dude looks big and everything I have seen reported is he is 6'3.

I saw him in person in Mankato with the Vikings. He looks damn big to me. Maybe you get an inch or two in cleats.

He's big. He's a monster. Just not very tall. I thought Tito Ortiz was taller than him. Gabriel Gonzaga too.

[Sam]

So Shane Carwin must actually be like 5'11" and 265 lbs. (and not his billed height of 6'2")

Shit, no one in the UFC is over 6 feet.

[SHAFT]

I felt the same way when Superman died when he fought Doomsday back in the 90's. How can Superman die? I feel your pain. I too was crushed when Brock Lesnar walked by and he wasn't towering over me.

Just give it time, you'll soon accept the truth.

Ok. You think Lesnar's actual height is what.. 5'11"? Maybe 6'? You base this because you saw him from 3 feet away?

Stop being stupid. Everything that is out there states his height as 6'3". You've seen photographic proof that his height is 6'3".

By the way, Cain is 6'1".. and here is another photo that shows Lesnar is taller than 6'11".. unless you think this was photoshopped to keep those people from knowing he's only 6'!!!

[AnticorRifling]

O

I think you just accidently his height.

Also your photo is called fake!!!!

[kookiegod]

I dunno, I see this all as a work...

Brock wanted to go hunting...

Taker said, are we gonna do it? in reference to Wrestlemania 21

Brock got a 6 month medical suspension after ufc 121

Dana White has said Brock won't wrestle.

Brock was seen recently in Stamford CT home of WWE.

This just seems a work, Brock vs Taker at Wrestlemania, Dana White will share in the gate, and then Brock goes to destroy Mir again, and then batters Cain in the biggest purses Dana has seen.

The monster chasing the title is money, WWE knows this, Dana is following the model now.

[Fallen]

Yeah. That or Brock just got his ass whooped.

[Latrinsorm]

Guys lose a lot in MMA, especially inexperienced guys, and guys routinely get medical suspensions when they've had their faces bashed in. Seems a little circumstantial to me.

[Sam]

I don't know if you really believe that Paul, but that's almost as ridiculous as saying Brock Lesnar is only 6 feet tall!
