I don't know how many of you keep up with mma or the ufc but apparently Brock Lesnar might not ever fight again? I'm going to be so pissed if he doesn't fight again because he was entertaining to watch fight and I couldn't wait for someone to beat his ass!
Over a lung infection no less.
last I heard he is expected to be in fighting condition within 6 months.
Did he get the infection from smoking those "clove cigars" :smiley15:Quote:

BUT, it was looking like he was taking the sport more seriously and becoming a "student of the game". With his size and strength alone he is a force, but if he could get some technical skills under his belt I think he could be unstoppable. Now we may never know. (but first and foremost, as Nick said, I REALLY wanted to see him get his ass kicked!!)
Yeah he does seem to be changing I was excited to see his next fight that other guy looked like he would give Brock a good fight.Quote:

Is anyone watching UFC 106 tonight??
I wish I could've I love Forest Griffin and HATE Tito Ortiz. 45 dollars is a little out of my price range to watch something that'll air in a couple months.Quote:

Carwin in large and strong. I just don't recall how his ground game is. And, against a great wrestler like Brock, ya gotta have em. Brock is one fast beast on the ground!
If he can remember he is in the UFC now, and not the play-fakes, he can gain fans. Otherwise, let's get someone in there to kick his ass!!
I do hope he recovers and comes back. The HWs need some excitement.
I saw that Duffee fight (beating), I think it was the first or second punch he threw that ended it. What a giant, and I think he's very young too. Carwin was a DII national wrestling champ in '99, so he's pretty good on the ground. He's got a purple belt in BJJ, trains under Greg Jackson and he's got great power in both hands.:smiley20:

He took the fight lightly, and paid dearly! Mir is used to getting lucky when his opponent makes a mistake, and he uses his jujitsu to capitalize on it. Brock, on the other hand, takes fighing very seriously. He learned from his mistake, and without hitting the back of the head (BS stoppage by Massagatti, btw:smiley38:), pummeled Mir!
Lesner was still an ass after the fight, but I ain't tellin him!:smiley17:
I don't think someone who has a black belt in jujitsu takes fighting lightly.Quote:
