i am...but dont tell me that it didnt look like it was gonna come true..infact.. THATS what most people are gonna talk about...
actually he waz basicaly right brock just bounced back up off the ground lmao brock can take a great punch we found that out in this fight plus massive respect to brock for not being a dick to carwin after (unless he waz and i missed it atsch) i like carwin seemz like a decent individual would love to see him keep fighting top guyz that big punch just alwayz a second away is AWESOMELY entertaining
But it didn't come true. People are talking about how resilient Brock is. Now we know he has a chin and has tons of heart, 2 things that can't be trained. His stand up needs work but it can be improved. Unlike a Mcfluffy Duffy who has no future in the UFC because he has no chin. Excellent stand up, but no chin and now that it's been exposed his days are numbered in the UFC.
Brock rode that wave but both of them looked pretty bad on their back. They both stayed in positions where they were close to being stopped. Carwin got subbed but otherwise I think he would have been on his back for a while longer.
how was he 'basically right' Getting beat up for a part of the round, then making it to his feet and controlling carwin against the cage by rounds end is not 'basically right' to getting knocked out lol. But yes, respect to both fighters.... i like carwin as well. I hope his success continues. But brock getting his ass handed to him for a portion of round 1 does not = being knocked out and losing the fight.... which is what goblin predicted. No way was he 'basically right' lol.
This is what most are gonna talk about due to the fact that most marginal fans are gonna believe everything they read, the article isnt that bad although i completely disagree with the last bit and any bit about "the best heavy in mma" although by now you can rightfully say he is "one of the best heavies in mma" InsideFights Will Cooling This content is protected Updated Jul 4, 2010 12:45 PM ET When Brock Lesnar stepped into the octagon Saturday night in Las Vegas he was faced with the toughest opponent of his career. In Shane Carwin he faced somebody who could not only match his size and power, but possessed the most devastating punching power in all of combat sports. The way that Lesnar handled the threat proved that he’s not only a worthy champion but also the best heavyweight in MMA. The fight started badly for the heavyweight champion, with Lesnar being overwhelmed in the opening minutes. Carwin swarmed forward, connecting with several hard shots including a vicious uppercut. With Lesnar now on the floor, Carwin unleashed a brutal ground-and-pound attack. To survive such an onslaught not only showed superhuman toughness but the crucial ability to think rationally during a crisis. We must remember none of Carwin's previous opponents survived the first round, so he knows how to close the show. Lesnar showed superior positional awareness off the bottom, never risking compromising himself but constantly moving and working to ensure that the referee knew he was still in the fight. This calmness when placed in the worst possible situation was eerily reminiscent of Fedor Emelianenko at his peak. He also had the killer instinct to see that his adversary was beginning to weakening, seizing on the smallest detail to give him the confidence to move forward to victory. Seeing that Carwin was tiring, Lesnar pushed the action in the final minute of the first round, using his wrestling to control Carwin and force him to carry his 270-pound frame for the final minute. Not only did this show superior fight strategy but it again demonstrated the exceptional wrestling ability of the former NCAA champion. In his last fight, Carwin destroyed Mir from the same position. But even after the damage he had taken, Lesnar had the technique and brute force to handle Carwin. This wrestling ability was displayed again in the second round, with Lesnar quickly securing the takedown after which he showed slick grappling to quickly get the mount. Instead of being predictable and trying to work his brutal ground and pound, Lesnar switched to side mount to successfully apply the arm triangle choke. His submission victory once again showed the unique way that Lesnar’s jiujitsu is based on his brute strength as by turning into the arm triangle he successfully concentrated all of his strength onto Carwin’s neck. For all the emphasis on his wrestling, the fact is that Lesnar is unusual in the variety of methods he uses to secure victory. In his last four fights he has won as a result of his top control, his boxing, his ground and pound and his grappling. There are few fighters that can boast so many options, so many ways to defeat their opponents. His victory Saturday continues a winning streak that has seen him defeat Heath Herring, Randy Couture, Frank Mir and now Shane Carwin. With each fight he has shown significant improvement, with his fighting technique making better use of his exceptional physical attributes. And the scary thing is that although he’s already the heavyweight champion he’s yet to fulfill his full potential. Unlike other famous outsiders such as Bob Sapp and Kimbo Slice, he’s not content to rest on his laurels and live off his celebrity. Brock Lesnar may have once been an entertainer but he has the heart and mind of a true competitor. He truly is the baddest man on the planet, the best heavyweight fighter in the world.
He got clipped on the chin twice. Once made him curl up and retreat like a ***** and second time was from an elbow when Carwin was already tired. His chin is not steal, he's not that good, but he does have **** load of strength. This fight proved nothing other than he's just a sick athletic specimen but not a skilled fighter. The reason he won ALL of his fight was his size. Even in this fight he won because of size and gassed Carwin.
Nothing more cringe-worthy than an armchair fan refusing to give credit to a fighter who just overcame the very best his division has to offer. :verysad
The only reason he wins is his size? Well shouldn't HMC win all of his fights then? He shows more then size, who would have guessed he had a sub up his sleeve? That wasn't to shabby for a guy who has only been in the game for a few years.
Dude..... ufoalf 'hes not that good' youve got to be kidding man. 'Hes not that good'...... ??? really? So he only beat Carwin because of size and because Carwin gassed? Guess what that has to do with? the fact that brock took everything Carwin threw at him.... talk about a lose lose situation.... if he would have GOTTEN ko'd, his chin would have been **** (oh wait... people are already saying that) but no, he showed toughness and durability and weathered the storm, (how bout some sort of credit there? nope)... WHICH IS WHAT caused Carwin to gas because brock was able to take what carwin was dishing until Carwin couldnt dish anymore, then he chokes his ass out and its 'oh, well carwin just gassed' lol.... wow. Seriously, people need to give a bit more credit where its due.... Carwin is a 260lb monster his damn self and nobody had even made it out of the FIRST with him... Brock ends his ass in the second and hes 'not that good'. And people saying he only wins because of his size can cry a river... lets all take a journey to go look up bob sapps record, i mean... all it takes is size right? :roll: Pretty petty stuff coming from UFC fans IMO
It was a haymaker uppercut. Brock got hurt but survived. Many other fighters would just be put flat out from that shot.
WHAT??? are you serious??? You tell me who could have taken atleast 20 unaswered shots from carwin and not been ko'd or tko'd
UFOALF, like many Fedor fan's have gone off the deep end and lost all connection to reality. Anything other than praise for Fedor and criticism for everybody else is not possible for them.
