Of course hes been punched silly by Carwin and Cain......all three are inexperienced and unproven (JDS is experienced but he hasnt fought Brock). Guys like Fedor, Josh and Overeem are experienced and proven. Overeem would make Brock's face turn jelly.
are you high?????no way silva out weights brock by a huge margin and how can you compare that ****ing slob silva to cain thats just plain disrespectful:scaredas:
Brocks wrestling is overrated. Even if Silva didn't outweigh him by a "huge margin" he would be his weight or more, and close to as strong if not stronger. He's a huge BJJ blackbelt and he hung with Fedor on his feet. Brock lesnar turns and runs like a ***** whenever someone hits him flush. Even in Best Case Scenario for Lesnar if he gets the takedown on Silva, then he is on top of a huge, strong fighter who is experienced on the ground. Awful matchup for Brock. He should rematch Herring instead :deal
silva is listed as 120kg, lesnar is 130. on the ground? yes. in wrestling? no. striking?..says who? bigfoot is no more an effective striker than randy, carwin or mir.. bigfoot was worn out and purple in the face just from "hitting" fedor. lesnar is at least twice the athlete silva is. who gives a **** about the size of their hands?
I predicted Silva would defeat Lesnar in a thread I started a while back. I haven't changed my mind, but I wish that I could. All this talk of Lesnar being an easy fight since he lost to Velasquez is just foolish. For starters, I think Velasquez is the sport's next dominant heavyweight. I predicted his victory over Brock in the prediction league, and I'm predicted many more victories as well. I can think of worst fighters to lose to. Next, I look at the way Lesnar lost. Lesnar freaks out while being hit, and he does so in a way that suggests he doesn't get hit at all during training. He still doesn't fold like Bob Sapp. Lesnar took quite a bit of punishment from Cain before tapping, and he took quite a bit from Carwin before winning by submission. Lesnar doesn't exactly fight like a viking warrior, but I can't say he fights like a big wimp either. Lesnar runs from strikes, but they don't appear to be what makes him quit. It looks to me like Cain made him feel helpless, and that helplessness is what he succumbed to. Lesnar has been given a shorter path to success because of his popularity as a WWE wrestler. Lesnar also had to fight tough opposition from the very beginning in the UFC. Lesnar has defeated Herring, Couture, Mir, and Carwin in the UFC. Lesnar only has 7 fights, and 4 or his 5 victories are more significant than any heavyweight victory by Alistair Overeem. Say what you want about the UFC, but they make their "sideshow" fighters fight quality fighters. Lesnar was given Mir for his 2nd pro fight. James Toney got Couture for his debut. Lesnar is a 280 lb monster with crazy athletic ability. Predicting against him with certainty is crazy.
Lesnar is not a fighter, he's a big bully who dogs it once the going gets tough. Carwin gassed but hard him on toast and Cain made a complete goose of him. Overeem, Barnett, JDS and big foot wouls inflict much of the same as Cain did. Fedor wld've beat Lesnar but at this time might be too small and at this stage of his career not at the level to beat Lesnar anymore, however as a betting man i'd be on Fedor if offered better than even money odds in a fight with the bully.
Giant Silva... I watched him against Henry Millerthe other day!!! He was so bad!!! Kimbo Slice on the other hand... :happy Lynchburg
