Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I'm actually pretty torn. I mean they're pretty much the same guy. Both are essentially undefeated for our purposes. (Carwin certainly won't be footlocking Brock so who cares)

I didn't see the O'Brien fight, but Brock wrestlefucked Herring as well after that initial punch that dropped Herring.

If you go watch the O'Brien fight then you'll see the difference. Herring walked away without a scratch from that fight. But he was so fucked up after he fought Brock that he STILL hasn't made it back into the Octagon.

Btw SPX, did you see those knees Brock threw at Herring in the clinch? You gotta check it out dude. When I noticed how much effect they had I seriously had to watch it over a few times just cuz I couldn't believe the impact they had.

I do not. I will have to go back and watch it again.

I do remember a knee he hit Randy with though, that shook the hell out him.

It was in the 2nd round about 40 seconds left in the round. Liver explosion!I wouldn't be surprised if Herring suffered internal damage from that.

I think Herring suffered a lot of damage from that fight. I know for a fact that his orbital was broken in a serious way.

I don't think it's a coincidence that we haven't seen him back. I know he's been bitching about money, and he's been doing some movies, but the fact that he got a brutal ass beating has to be in his mind as well.

His orbital was demolished. Looked like a fried egg.

That's the kind of shit that scares me away from full-contact combat sports.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I'm also having a hard time calling Lesnar / Carwin. I don't care about their short fight histories, I feel like I've seen plenty to know that both of these guys are crazy-dangerous fighters who deserve to be where they are. I suppose Carwin does have a question mark on his cardio. (I laughed when someone pointed out to me that Pudz has logged more fight time than Carwin.) I probably favor Brock a little. I think he's more likely to get the takedowns,and I could see his reach and speed being the deciding factor. Then again, it might not take much more than one good bomb from Carwin to end it. Also, Carwin might possibly have luck with Randy's fencepress strategy, that worked for him against MIr. It would allow him to negate the reach and movement of Brock on the feet and play to his strength of generating power in a short distance.

I think if Carwin gets Brock up against the fence then it's over.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I think if Brock shows up to fight Carwin period, his reign over HW is over.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

^^ which is why I'm putting down some solid units on Carwin

I was happy to get Carwin at +170, I'll say that much.
