Its pathetic how respected members of the board have to come and try to ruin this fight. Instead of discussing it amongst fans and talking about it in detail, we have to defend the sport we enjoy and actually have a seperate forum for.
You brought up Carwin's pay and Lesner's victory in the same sentence. Im not making sense? I will ask again, why shouldnt you give Brock Credit for this win?
Do you think we would be laughing at Fedor vs Overeem? Those guys happen to be real fighters. The guys tonight were two gorillas who should be flipping burgers not on PPV.
I know you watched it. Thats not disputed and you didnt even need to bring it up. You watch All UFC fights. What would you have said if Carwin won?
If it was anyone else the fight would of been stopped...but this is Lesnar former WWE star that the UFC has invested alot of money into.
Exactly. It was somewhat intriguing going in, but during the fight it was sloppy garbage. One guy actually wasn't trained to fight for more than five minutes.
Depends how it ends. You got lenser surviving a huge amount of punches, recovers and ends the roudn on his feet, and then Triangle chokes carwin in the second round. What is there to hate about that?
I don't watch all UFC fights anymore. I used to, but not for about a year or so. I haven't seen any of the fights lately. What i would say would entirely depend on how the fight unfolded. I can't tell you.
Bullshit. How you gonna stop the fight when most of the punches werent landing? If Lenser's was hurt, how the fuck did he end up on his feet at the end of the round?
Depends on the referee actually. For example GSP-Fitch was another fight like that, or Penn-Sanchez... Might be a title fight thing...who knows. I'm glad it wasn't stopped though.
If a boxer punches non-stop for 3 minutes and punches himself out do you bash him for not training for 12 rounds? Carwin punched himself out. It happens to everyone
I didn't see Rampage/Rashad, the last two Silva fights, Liddell/Frankin This was honestly my first UFC is months. I don't remember the last one I sat down and watched.
All he's saying is that just like in boxing the ref is more apt to give the star more time then your average joe. Whats bullshit about that?
Man, what a great night of fights. That was one for the ages. The prelims were amazing and the energy surrounding the main event was unreal. There is no way the ref should have stopped that fight. Lesnar never quit defending himself. He was never out. Great fight.
GF--- Don't worry about the haters. That was a great show. MMA fans had to love that. As I said when this fights were announced, every match up was great. And how bad is Bonnar? And Leben? Unreal...
It happens in boxing all the time. What does a big main event have to do with it? If you throw punches for 5 straight minutes and also wrestle at the same time, you will tire. Stop trolling man. Enough already.
That was after 8, 3 minute rounds while taking shots against the best HW boxing champ off all time...ridiculous comparison. The fact that you would compare an engineer who never went over 1 round to a Olympic gold medal medalist and HW champ with wins over Norton, and Frazier is scandalous. :notallthere:
I dont give a shit about Barristan. He is a proven idiot. But Andrew knows better. And admittedly trolls. But the shit needs to stop already. I could troll the boxing section and people would be pissed.
Yeah the bonnar fight was great. The leben fight was great. The lesner fight was crazy drama. It was a fun night. The premlims were fun too.
