UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez October 23, 2010

[polandprzem]

Not changing my pick but man all the experts seem to think Cain is gonna win. I bet the pro's picks from Sherdog are all Cain as well in a few days. Still a lot of Anti-Brock bias out there i think. That said this fight is very close and could go either way..

Now it's very close?

Now it's very close?

I never disrespected Cain

Name one time I ever did??? Brock will win IMO but i never said it was a lock..


"Heavyweight Championship bout: Brock Lesnar (c) vs Cain Velasquez
The champ will need to weather an early storm from Cain, i expect fire-works the first round or 2. If Brock puts his weight on Cain in the clinch and wears him down, i like Brock to win this fight by TKO in round 2 or 3. When Bock gets on top, he is doing a lot of damage these days.. Cain will wanna strike only and KO Brock.. Trying to outwrestle Brock will take too much out of Cain, i expect him to be all about TDD. Brock must bust through it.."

After watching the Lesnar/Carwin fight for the first time since it was live, I'm even more doubtful that Cain will even be able to bruise Lesnar. I think we can all agree Carwin is a better wrestler and WAY more powerful than Cain, but Carwin had Lesnar mounted and still couldn't put him away. Lesnar's forearms literally block his entire head when he puts them up. I don't care if Cain gets the kinda shot Anderson Silva got against James Irvin, he's not gonna KO Lesnar, and he's definitely not gonna out-wrestle him

Brock looked as confident as ever and concentrated as well

cain looked concerned but he is not timid



Okay it's time to go to sleep

Tomorrow night the fight !

[ace3g]

The only way I ever see Lesnar losing a match is due to submission (Mir for example); He can take a punch and won't get out wrestled. Again his agility/speed for a 265 pound is way underrated. You can try to prepare for it in training but there is no sparring partner that is that big that can move like that.

Again I don't exactly like Lesnar, but there is no other Brock Lesnar out there to compete with him. You need a heavyweight like Fedor that is also a capable submission artist to challenge Brock.

Side note: Brock - 264 pounds; Cain - 244 pounds; everyone made weight at the weigh ins.

Brock did look very focused for this fight. He knows Cain is a real threat and people are doubting him going in..

Expect Fire-works tomorrow night..

Brock needs to keep the beard. Makes up for some of the gayness of his haircut

[The TroutBum]

ya, go Court! He's a local guy here in Mormonville, and I've seen him around a few times. He actually stopped and had a decent conversation with my buddy, which I don't think a lot of famous guys would do.

That beard is too epic. I am a little bit worried for Cain's safety now. I hope this fight goes at least 3 rounds so we can see more of Brock's development.

[Stringer_Bell]

I was hoping Brock would shave the beard, now the fight is basically two on one

Let's go Cain, strike the big gringo down with the force of the entire Hispanic nation!!!!

[dbreiden83080]

This fight is fiercely divided down the middle with opinions. Jordan Breen from Sherdog saw Cain in camp and thinks "Brock has no shot in at doing anything" Others from Brock's camp and those around him say "This is the best Brock so far, stronger and more explosive than ever" Betting odds are razor close on this one as well..

I really think Cain wants this to be BJ/Edgar. Stay outside and pick him apart, with an occasional shot. Brock is gonna look to cut Cain off and make him carry his weight.


This is all really exciting one day away from the fight..

I lost a lot of respect for Cain when I heard about his diet or lack thereof. Terrible nutrition, he essentially eats what he wants. Nothing against the guy though, he's a legit contender and everybody that talks about him (including some top notch guys) speak like he's the Michael Jordan of martial arts, we'll find out.

That made me concerned as well.
I think Brocks diet is cleaner.

Also gotdamn! Brocks looks in in' phenomenal shape.


really I just hoping Cain got something well written for lesnar cause if not it's gonna be demolition.


Cain striking and TDD is the key

For some reason the closer it gets the more nervous I get about picking Shields over Kampmann.

Yeah if Cain is the future as some say he is we are gonna find out tonight because Brock looks to be in the best shape of his career. His new diet has really cut him up and the ring rust will be gone having shaken it off with the Shane fight in July.. This could be one of a fight..
