    Well he certainly didn't have too much problem defeating the legend and champion with virtually no experience.

    I think Josh has a pretty good shot, not because I think he stands a shot at neutralizing power, but because Josh is very good with leg and ankle locks.

    Brock has a ton in the strength department, usually the sort of athlete he is, is going to be susceptible to joint locks, especially ankle locks. He pays very little attention to his legs, or it at least appears so.

    Not really. Just changing of the guard. For my money the previous batch were more skilled and athletic than those you mention.

    It isn't as though there are new techniques emerging or anything like that. The "new class" are just big and strong. It's not like when cross-training changed the game years ago.

    Theres nothing in Brock i never saw in a prime Mark Kerr. Matter of fact prime Kerr would tear Brock a new one. As for JDS is he that much different to a prime Gary Goodridge or Gilbert Yvel? Back when both those guys were knocking opponents out everyone thought they were just as unstoppable as JDS. As for Carwin he doesnt do anything for me. Good fighter no question but i dont see any particular skill that can be compared to guys like Nog Barnett CC or Fedor. Prime Ricco taps that ass. :D

    Thank **** for that!! Someone who actually decided to post some sense on the subject!!

    Barnett-Vs-Lesnar? A far more interesting fight would be Carwin-Vs-Barnett!!

    Forget all about the Lesnar hype bollocks, Carwin should be 4/7-4/9 favourite for tonight's fight and the fact that he is not is fantastic news!!

    Any half decent heavyweight would defeat Randy now, with ease!! FFS any decent 205 fighter could do so, never mind a guy 40lbs heavier!!

    Why don't you watch "Prime" Randy against "Pre-prime" Barnett before you type such nonsense?

    ****ing Lesnar nut-hound, joy boys!! You people want to give his chief ball-licker, Rogan, a call, maybe then you can polish Lesnar's belt as you polish his knob!! But, be quick about it, because after tonight he aint going to have any belt to polish!!

    This is getting ridiculous on here Barnett would smash Lesnar.

    Hey, a couple of others of us were sticking up for Josh, too. :yep

    Barnett-Carwin sounds fun. Unfortunately White's a douchebag and never going to be open to the idea of cross-promotion champ vs. champ matches, so unless he chases all his heavyweight talent away they're not getting within spitting distance of Barnett, Fedor, Werdum, or Overeem.
