The Sandman Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv14glS1rMA&feature_play=embeddedFuck, I just watched another in shitty quality - rage.This is hard to process, and surely drops Fedor's stock some...Emelianenko brothers have now been beaten - both by Werdum. Interesting.Thing is Werdum isn't a bad fighter, he was cut from the UFC with a 2-2 record, and his last fight was a loss against Dos Santos - high quality fighter. I believe he's even been referred to as the one who got away, in that it was a mistake to cut him - on this evidence...Just seemed that Fedor smelled blood and went in - although I'm not sure if Werdum played for it? He went down easily, maybe feigning somewhat and knew his superior BJJ would take him through. I dunno, I'm speculating.Also - for those of us who are keen (i.e. Me!) on Tim Sylvia and Paul Buentello - they're booked to fight soon.CANNOT WAIT Edited June 27, 2010 by The Sandman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Question I've got is will Brock come back the same after his health problems and beat Carwin or will Carwin go 13-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 To me, it seem as if Brock is fighting two opponents - his health and Shane Carwin. Do I think he can beat Carwin if he has no issues? I think it is entirely possible. But he's coming back from a life-threatening illness, I just don't know if he can keep up the intensity he has had previously.I've seen him train with Couture and it is absolutely intense: And I mean, take a look at a few photos from his training camp too.He looks in good shape all things considered, but I don't think that Brock has ever been hit that hard before - and hell, neither has Carwin. I mean, Carwin lives it completely too, another great video: This is a dude who holds down a full-time job as an engineer, training like three times a day and has young kids. He's a beast.Whatever - this will be a great fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went down easily, maybe feigning somewhat and knew his superior BJJ would take him through. I dunno, I'm speculating.To me it looked like Werdum simply lost his legs while defensively backpeddling. He wasn't hurt nor was he tired. Fedor made a rare error of judgement and rushed in for the kill against a decorated grappler who was just as fresh and coherent as he was when he entered the cage.He entered Werdums world.

Forsaken Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Fedor losing isn't really a surprise, he looked slow against Rogers awhile back. Saw it coming. Like he said, he's only human, he was due sooner or later. As for UFC 116, my pick goes to Shane Carwin. The guy is a beast and is really overshadowed by Brock... Brock is too much hype. I'm not sure if either can KO each other, it might goto decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 People are acting like Werdum is some nobody. Anyone is the underdog when facing Fedor. And last I knew Werdum was ranked as the #9 Heavyweight in the world. There seems to be this perception these days that if you don't fight in the UFC, you're just not that good, which is BS. Dana made a mistake in cutting Werdum, imo. Zuffa's still making $ off of Werdum's likeness too. He's in the UFC 2010 game. I like both Brock and Carwin, so I don't really care who wins. I think if Brock chooses to stand with Carwin, there's a pretty good chance that Brock will get ko'd. IMO, it would be best for Brock to try to take Carwin down and start doing the ground & pound thing on him, let those hammerfists fly. Either way, should be a good fight with a decisive victory for one of them. I don't see it going to decision, I'd be shocked if it even goes to the 3rd round.Funny thing I noticed in the Carwin vid is the place he goes to work out is right next to a Jimmy John's, one of Brock's major sponsors. Strange coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his trials and tribulations, I do like Tim Syliva! I want to see him get back on track and generally follow him when he fights. I mean, I'm not a blind sheep and he's not been good or indeed even fit - but hell, there's something about him Buentello I like because of his attitude - I mean, he's a one-dimensional fighter entirely, but I still think he's a cool dude.It won't be a good fight at all, but I'm hoping for a bit of a stand-up war.Perhaps that's optimism (and too much of it to boot)!Also, no surprise whatsoever, but after four straight losses, "The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine has been cut.

The Sandman Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Mind you, Jardine wasn't exactly that bad, nor was he a massive financial drain - but to lose four on the trot in this sport... I mean he was going to be a gatekeeper at best with those sorts of stats. Lets see him win a few outside and work his way back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Wow I just noticed the card has a boat load of replacement matches now. UFC 116 is going to blow ass except for the Lesnar/Carwin bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Mind you, I'm happen to see Leben, Lytle, Soszynski/Bonnar and Reljic fight. Schaub/Tuscherer won't be that bad, and I want to see Petruzelli fight again. Could be a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobodys_Fault Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'll be watching it for Sexyama. Hope to god he knocks the piss out of Leben.WAR AKIYAMA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Yeah, was gonna say the only match worth watching other than Lesnar/Carwin will be Leben/Akiyama. IMO Leben won't be able to handle him. I wanted to see Wandy instead though.... Edited June 29, 2010 by Forsaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 TONIGHTHere's hoping Carwin/Brock is awesome. I hope Carwin wins a majority decision, but I have a feeling it won't go that long I still hope Carwin wins unanimously basically.Hope Leben acquits himself well, fan of his.Should be good!

tat2d1 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 You could tell Carwin blew his load in the 1st round. He was banking on being able to finish Brock within 3 minutes and when that didn't happen, he was fucked. Thank god it wasn't Mazagatti reffing. I really think he would've stopped it when Brock was in trouble in the 1st round. Brock proved he can take some vicious shots. I look forward to Brock's fight against Cain. Cain is a more well rounded fighter than Carwin, with excellent striking, but I'm still gonna bank on Brock ending Cain's undefeated streak. I think he should take Cain down like he did with Carwin.
