http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7667949&postcount=2 If i could find my dam post i hit them Brock Lesnar joyboys with the "hee". Can you imagine what Overeem would have done to Brock? But the joyboys were saying Overeem would have no answer for his takedowns!??! Like i said long time before the fight Cain would beat him and beat him EASILY. Brock got ragdolled. This is what happens when you are not used to getting hit in the face. He just turtled up and didnt have a clue. Brock done IMMENSELY well getting as far as he did but he was gifted the title every step of the way. The UFC hype was completely unjustified as well as the bandwagoners who simply dont have a clue about MMA. The Scurla jury rests......
Scurry.Armchair MMA fan here. In a round robin with werdum,fedor,overeem,dos santos and cain who comes out on top? I still think my man fedor is the GOAT and the best of the current boys. Im sure hes training like a **** now and shrugging off any complacency to avenge his defeat and retire on top... A fired up hungry,re-motivated fedor may be a very scary thing,and just what MMA needs..
:roll:....like scurlacuntings had any idea what would happen. The Ron Borges approach of simply picking against a fighter until he loses.
Its going to be interesting to see what version of Fedor turns up for a rematch with Werdum. Its clear Fedor has lost a step and the years of wear and tear must be catching up. That said he's never been on the end of a beating. I think he beats Werdum in a rematch quite comfortably. Fedor Overeem is undoubtedly the most interesting match. Ironic as if you had said Fedor vs Overeem back in the PRIDE days it would have been Fedor by decapitation. Overeem has moved on in leaps and bounds. And is undoubtedly the best striker in MMA. Unless Fedor can get him to the mat and in his guard he's going to have alot of problems with Overeem on his feet. Now is the right time to beat Fedor now that he has lost his momentum. Even 50/50 match for me. Although if i had to put money id go for Fedor via GnP. I like JDS but right now he doesnt have the experience to hang with vets like Fedor or Overeem yet. That said he does have a win over Werdum.
This is the only match that matters right now at heavyweight in MMA. Werdum legitimately has a great shout as he beat "the man". I want to see Werdum vs Fedor first. And assuming Fedor wins Fedor Overeem for the title. Then Fedor can retire in a blaze of glory or go on to face Barnett and Kharitonov.
scurlaruntings was correct. mma should not be about hype and bull**** it is a short sighted approach! lesnar might have become a better mma fighter if he had taken his time to climb the ladder and would have received much less hate had the ufc made him earn his title shot. Im not sure he can climb his way back up to the title. I just hope they dont begin to hype cain the same way they hyped lesnar he still has a lot to prove as a fighter. interestinng to see what the heavyweight rankings will look like now, I bet most ranking sites will still have lesnar over fedor and overeem and cain velasquez will be #1 ranked heavyweight.
