40 of them. From a monster like Brock?

Towards the end he started to use his elbow into the face :eek:

If that's the strike I'm thinking of, Randy moved his head down a bit and that caused Brock's elbow to come in to contact with it.

As for Paul Wight, he wouldn't last 60 seconds. He's slow and if you watch him in the ring he's always blown up within 2 minutes.

When its heavy weight fights is there no limit to your weight?

As for the hammer fisting I have seen fighter recover hence the reason the reff did not stop it.

So will I :tu:

IIRC no limits to weight at heavyweight - which can make it rather difficult for the smaller guys. It's the same in boxing - just compare Mike Tyson with some of the giants like George Foreman at his peak. That puts into persective how good Tyson was at his best though.

No way never knew that. Big advantage being heaver and can see Broc holding onto that belt for sometime. :)

Thing with Brock is he's cocky. That's not neccessarily a bad thing as long as he can control it. I agree he'll have those spade-like hands on the belt for a long time but he doesn't want to get careless.

Lesnar still has a way to go to improve his technique. He's not the lumbering giant he was when he lost to Mir, but I still think he is too vunerable to dominate. He's got power and aggression, but needs fine tuning.

Osem 24-11-2008 15:55

Re: The UFC thread.
 
The thing with sports like this is that one careless slip can mean it's goodnight Vienna so Lesnar will have to be careful not to lose concentration especially in fights in which he's the clear favourite.

Another former WWE champion, Bobby Lashley makes his UFC debut - and he's massive too. Shame it's over so quickly.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4xkkNj-yoDc

Not to be pedantic but that's the American Fight League, not UFC. Nice win though.

Will be a good one this weekend.

Forrest Griffin Vs. Rashad Evans = Evans win I think

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs. Frank Mir = Mir with easy win I’m sure.

Wanderlei Silva Vs. Quinton Jackson = Be a very close fight and cannot pick.

Looking forward to this one as much as I want griffin to win I don’t think he will.

I've underlined who I think will win.

Griffin: A lot tougher than he looks Who thought he'd beat Jackson? He dealt with him very well, no reason he can't do the same with Evans.

Mir: Tough, and very good all rounder. So is Noguiera, but I think Mir is the younger upstart with a good record.

Silva: Tough one to call, but I think Silva's BJJ will out match Jackson's boxing.

Dollaway: The guy is just an animal. I've never seen anyone tear people apart with such controlled aggression.

Kongo: Don't really know about this one, but the guy who is coached by Bisping which is good enough for me.

The best thing about the UFC is that its so unpredictable, unlike boxing.

As for the Griffin I cannot see him beating Evans. Did you see his last knockout? Wow that guy has power.

I'm sure his last fight was Liddell?

I did see it. Power is nothing without precision. I don't think Griffin will get dropped that easy.
