[tlongII]

No Portland tlong!!

!

[LEONARD]

Just have to ignore "promoter Dana"...him and Randy both know that Randy has no chance...

It's all about Brock now...the same Brock he said this about...

"Brock Lesnar and K-1 is a circus act!"

[LEONARD]

and Brock...sub'd by freakin' Mir...talking about Fedor. Too funny...

[LEONARD]

So here are the additions to my "Dana quotes" file...

-If Fedor becomes available or if something can be done with his promotion we will make the fedor fight.
-I don't know if Fedor cares about his legacy but we are going to offer him a fair deal. If it means something to him to beat Randy let's do this.
-It drives me insane when people call Fedor the best in the world. There is only one way to find out how good he is then he has to come here and do it eventually
-Randy Couture is relevant, Fedor is not
-If Fedor wants to come in and fight for the le he needs to win a few
-FEDOR IS IRRELEVANT" AGAIN, FEDOR IS COMPLETELY ING IRRELEVANT

Funny that he contradicts himself even in the PC...he says if Fedor is available they'll put the fight together...then he says Fedor needs to "win a few"...huh?

Couture relevant after not fighting for over a yr?

Thats all the verbiage is my friend.

[Evan]

thanks again leonard

by the way...here is some good reaction to the situation

I'll bet you that. Randy will own Brock.

From one knowledgeable MMA fan to another by all means, tell me how Randy is going to Own Brock?? Can he beat Brock?? Yes. But Randy does not have one single physical edge on Brock. 2 to 3 inches shorter, he will come in likely 40 to 50 pds lighter, is not nearly as strong as Brock, not as explosive as Brock and from we saw in the Herring Fight, can't hit as hard as Brock. If Randy wins, it will be because Brock s up and Randy capitilizes on a mistake. In 2 UFC fights, Brock tossed around and beat the out of Mir until he made a rookie Mistake and got Sub'd. Then he tossed around like a rag-doll and beat-down a legit Heavyweight in Herring for 15 full min and took zero damage whatsoever. Randy is a wrestler who loves to work in the clinch. Brock will no way allow Randy to press him on the fence and dirty box him for long periods of time like he did Gonzaga. Brock is a powerful dominate wrestler, who's physical advantages make sure that he basically decides where the fight goes. Brock will be the toughest test of Randy's career as a heavyweight and don't forget he is 45 years old, coming off a long lay-off.

I love Randy but this whole idea that Fedor has something to prove to Randy and the UFC is a ing joke. His resume of Heavyweights he has destroyed is massive. Randy has done what exactly, to lay claim to Fedor having to fight him to prove something?? He beat Sylvia and it was a 5 rd decision, could not finish him in 25 min. Fedor just waxed Tim in 36 friggin seconds. The champ Nog, someone Randy has not fought, Fedor holds not one, but 2 wins over. He beat Cro-Cop, Herring, Coleman just to name a few. Who other than Randy is in that divsion of the UFC that Fedor would not destroy?? Maybe Brock would have a shot in a few years with lots more experience, and even that is a longshot to beat Fedor. Randy saying "Fedor has to fight me to be number 1 is a joke"

[dallaskd]

Randy has the experience and Lesnar has nothing Couture hasn't seen or cant handle.

Size difference? Sylvia, Gonzaga, Ricco, Barnett, Randleman all bigger.

Striking? Liddell, Belfort, Rizzo

JJ? Lesnar has none.

Randy is top 5 HW. I dont care what Lesnar did against freakin Heath Herring. Sure he is stonger and quicker. Sylvia has power and you saw how Randy bob and weaved through his punches.

and for all the Lesnar nut huggers...Can Brock take a punch?!?!?!

He's never been hit!!!

[dallaskd]

(take out the 1 punch at the start and he didn't do much)

[dallaskd]

Lesnar would lose to Gonzaga, Werdum, Nog the second it would hit the ground. Kongo and Hardonk would kick his head off.

[dbreiden83080]

Randy has the experience and Lesnar has nothing Couture hasn't seen or cant handle.

Disagree he is the biggest most powerful wrestler he has ever fought

"Size difference"

"Sylvia",

Not a great wrestler or as big and strong as Brock

[B]"Gonzaga"

Can't wrestler either and not as big or strong as Brock

"Ricco",

He beat Randy



"Striking? Liddell"

Got KTFO by Chuck twice and Randy does not have heavy hands



"JJ? Lesnar has none"

How much will he need on top of Randy, passively GNP him and Randy is not exactly a submission machine. Mir has ten times better submission skills from his back than Randy.



"and for all the Lesnar nut huggers...Can Brock take a punch?!?!?!"

Brock has a head the size of a bowling ball and Randy has little power in his hands. He better duck and weave, because we saw in the Herring fight how hard Brock hits.

[dallaskd]

Herring has a glass jaw.

[dallaskd]

and btw...

Lesnar couldnt finish Herring.

[Evan]

Why would you guys take away that punch from Lesnar? He did it and it rocked Herring the rest of the fight.

Arguing in hypotheticals makes no sense to me. Thats like saying if Patrick Crayton hadn't dropped that pass the Cowboys would have won the superbowl. Who knows so why argue it? It makes no sense.

[dbreiden83080]

Lesnar would lose to Gonzaga, Werdum, Nog the second it would hit the ground. Kongo and Hardonk would kick his head off.

Kongo would get dumped on his head and pounded out by Brock with ease. His ground game and takedown defense is a damn joke. Herring took him down, how did he do against Brock??

[dallaskd]

Disagree he is the biggest most powerful wrestler he has ever fought

"Size difference"

"Sylvia",

Not a great wrestler or as big and strong as Brock

Sylvia is not as big as Brock????

[dbreiden83080]

and btw...

Lesnar couldnt finish Herring.

Didn't try to finish Herring is the correct take on that

[dbreiden83080]

Sylvia is not as big as Brock????

Look at Tims Body Then Brocks"

Who is stronger and more physically dominant

[dallaskd]

Didn't try to finish Herring is the correct take on that

If the almighty WWE SUPERSTAR Brock Lensar doesn't want to finish guys then why is he fighting???

[Evan]

hah

such heated conversation is why this fight is happening and why this will shatter PPV records.

Love or hate Dana he knows have to make a show

[dallaskd]

Frank Mir > Brock Lesnar

[dbreiden83080]

If the almighty WWE SUPERSTAR Brock Lensar doesn't want to finish guys then why is he fighting???

IF this was poker you just showed your hand. You hate Brock because he used to be a WWE wrestler. For a hardcore MMA fan, watch that tape of the fight again. I have seen it 20 times over. Brock needed a win, there were times when he had the hooks in and mounted Heath but he did not press for the finish. Heath could not do anything when they were on the ground and Brock knew it, he was content to just run out the clock and get the W.
