Miocic to fight Cormier at UFC 226

Never said “every” fight. But there certainly is reason to believe that he was on the gear for some of his other wins.

 

Lol Cormier vs Lesnar next (of course, coupled with a pre fight brawl and bad blood). The UFC has turned into such a joke

 

You Think EVERY Pre-Fight Altercation/Scuffle is Manufactured.

Sometimes Guys REALLY Don’t Like Each Other In Combative Sports.







REED

 

Did you seriously think that it was not manufactured as hell??

 

REED Doesn’t Think Cormier Expected to Be Shoved Half Way Across the Octagon, No.

That Would Suggest Cormier Knew All Along He Was Going to BEAT Stipe and Come Away Sooooo UNSCATHED He Could Sell a Physical Altercation w/a Certified Behemoth, After the Fact.

Are You ALSO Suggesting There was a Built-In, Manufactured, Brock Lesnar “Altercation” Scenario, Even if Stipe Were Victorious?

Like Cormier, Stipe’s a Straight Shooter and It’s Waaaaaaay OUT of Character for Him to Do Something as Such.








REED

 

I didn't pay much attention to Brock as I was walking out of the bar, but obviously any aggression by Brock is pure theater.

It's hard to imagine him having any luck against Cormier, but Brock is an event and I'll be watching. Is he really going to fight Cormier without any comeback fights?

It doesn't really matter, Cormier figures to beat him easily whenever they fight. The problem with Brock is that he has a real chance against anyone because of his size and strength.

But, with that pathetic chin and Cormier's wrestling ability, Cormier figures to starch his ass. Brock = Rousey.

 

I didn’t think that Brock would actually get physical, no. But I do think that it was planned that the winner would call out Brock, and theee would be a face to face.

 

you're gullible as hell., cormier and Brock know each other from a long time ago, and were always cool with each other. There is no bad blood between the two. Pure manufactured beef.

And of course the same WWE antics would have happened if Stipes had won

 

and what's the deal with the UFC not making the ko available anywhere?????

They really think that such moves will improve PPV sales?

 

Who’s Gullible?

Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis Knew Each Other Since They were Teens. Didn’t Prevent Them From Having an Altercation Prior to Their Fight Did It?

Or Will You Now Tell REED Lennox Had “Manufactured” Teeth Imprints In His Thigh, From Mike Biting Him?

Was it Also “Manufactured” When Riddick Bowe Swung On Larry Donald at a Presser? Or When Erik Morales Swung On Marco Antonio Barrera in a Similar Setting?

REED’s Point is There was NATHAN “Manufactured” About the WAY Lesnar Shoved Cormier. Sure, Having Lesnar Ringside and Having the Cormier-Miocic Winner Call Him Out was Manufactured, But the Physical Aspect of that Confrontation WASN’T in REED’s Opinion.








REED

 

There's a huge difference between these examples. In these cases, both guys were talking shit to each other for a long time (and Tyson and Lewis barely knew each other, they only sparred each other for a few days AFAIK, while Cormier said Lesanar gave him tickets for his shows and was always accommodatting.

Some prefight beef are real, but this one was as phony as a 3 dollar bills. Hell, even most UFC fighters are embarassed of it.

 

Hilarious. The greatest heavyweight champion in history Stipe Miocic got KTFO from 1 punch in the first round from a f*cking LH who measured up to Stipe's nipples. LMFAO

 

Gayge wrasslin’

 

I don't know if Brock's chin is as pathetic as we think. Nobody ever KO'd him with 1 shot. It took a barrage. And he took shots from some of the hardest hitters in history including Shane Carwin and Mark Hunt. Cormier on the other hand was on queer street from a Jones head kick and finished shortly after. Brock has folded guys with a single punch. If he lands a big one, Cormier could be toast.

 

Not sure why people are so bothered by theatrics. It's been happening in UFC and boxing for years. Regardless, Brock vs Cormier is going to do, at a minimum, 700K ppv buys. Lot of WWE fans are going to be watching.

 

Brock isn't a natural fighter and doesn't take punches well and doesn't avoid punches well. Cormier will land easily and win easily unless Brock gets lucky.

 

I don't think luck really exists when Brock Lesnar has so much more size and strength over Daniel Cormier. Even a grazing punch to Randy Couture's dome put Randy on queer street and Lesnar finished him. Daniel Cormier needs to be wary. Lesnar could mount him and gorilla smash him or catch him clean on the jaw or the head. Cormier isn't a young guy and his chin isn't impenetrable by a long shot. Lesnar has done extremely well for someone who had very little MMA training (basically just going off his amateur wrestling) and immediately went up against a murderer's row of reigning and former world champions and top level fighters right off the bat (Mir, Couture, Carwin, Herring, Overeem, Velasquez, Hunt, etc). It was almost unfair that Lesnar should be fighting these guys while having basically no amateur MMA record or pro MMA record. If he had fought in the smaller leagues and built his experience and skills up over 10-15 fights, he'd have been more seasoned and ready for the level of competition in the UFC.

 

agREED...

Lesnar's CHIN is Actually Solid, but he Literally PANICS When he Gets Hit...Cain Literally Had Lesnar SPRINTING Away from Him and Brock was Led to Slaughter vs. Overeem...

If Cormier Keeps it Standing, he'll Get Brock Out of There in 1-2 Rounds...









REED

 

Brock had diverticulitis in the Velasquez fight. They were wrestling for a good 2 minutes until Lesnar gassed out. And Overeem was on horse steroids and failed his post fight drug test after the Lesnar fight but UFC swept it under the rug. Obviously Lesnar was juicing too but imagine an Overeem on massive amounts of steroids kicking you in the stomach after you've had a foot of your colon removed a few months prior.

 

Lesnar sucks and always has. Diverticulitis or not he sucks. His strengths were always steroid induced size and wrestling. Horrible stand up. No heart. Fear of pain. No BJJ. Decent stamina for someone as juiced and big as him though. He was simply a giant mass of muscle that can take you down and stay on top of you. I can't see how he beats DC. DC will ko him in 1 round.

 

Who needs BJJ when you're D1 wrestler? He's got enough subs in his arsenal if he needs them. Heavyweights bang, they don't do gay ass BJJ unless you're Werdum who gets KTFO like a retard when he can't ground his opponent. DC went flying almost falling on his ass when Lesnar only half-shoved him. Imagine what happens to DC's skull if Lesnar lands 1 big shot. It's gonna hurt harder than Jon Jones' high kick.

 

Lesnar doesn't know how to punch and DC has grade A chin. Lesnar has nothing for DC in that fight.

 

Most effective method of ending soneone's limb-use or life, one-on-one.
No question.

Nah, striking/boxing is still the most effective form of combat in MMA in the heavyweight division. Most heavyweight fights end from punches or Gnp. Very few end from BJJ.

 

Yeah...in MMA.
But who cares about that??

 

What did you think of the Cincinnati final? Federer looked like sh*t. Djokovic is looking pretty sharp. Although the piss poor competition helps these older guys a lot in making deep runs/finals.

 

Terrible.
Tennis is in a bad way.

 

Yeah, Federer looks like he's treating tennis as a leisurely sport nowadays. Skipping months at a time. Nobody in the past decade has stepped up. Even Zverev can't seem to do sh*t in best of 5. Then you got guys like Hyeon Chung who can make a deep run in a Slam and then needs 4-5 months off to heal and find his game again. Mostly we got just baseline grinders these days and guys in the top 30-40 who are winning a few matches and enjoying their cash winnings and living a good life without any real desire to be better or contend for the big titles. Then you'll always have mugs like Del Potro and Cilic who might make a push and win sets but never win the big matches.

 

Why give the cheater the benefit of any doubt? He cheated against Richard fucking Hall.
