As a big fan of Brock I'm very happy he's getting a chance to prove himself against both Carwin and Cain one after the other. He's already stopped 12 straight wins in a row for Carwin and he may well be the first to put a loss on cain's record, which will of course look great for his own. Yeah im also looking forward to Jr. Dos Santos - Big Country, Chieck Kongo - Travis Browne, Silva- Sonnen and I always like to see Matt Hughes fight. I really hope Sonnen can beat Silva (as unlikely as it is to happen) just to see him humbled after all the clowning around he's been doing. |
Most of those Pride heavy hitters just have not looked the same since coming over to the UFC. Cro Cop, Wanderlei, Nog, Fedor, Rampage and the list goes on, have not looked anything like their old selves. I cannot believe these guys go into a fight and gas. It makes no sense. In Pride you had to keep the tempo up (or get carded and after 2 start losing prize money), had a 10 minute first round (followed by 2 5 minutes) and potentially fought guys a hell of a lot bigger than you.
I am not a big fan of Brock. It has nothing to do with his attitude, his language or anything else, it is just how he got the title. I think it was to quick. I am not saying he does not deserve it and really this is not his fault (it is Dana and Joe Silva's fault) but I do wish he had just come into the UFC after winning maybe 5 fights.
Yes, seeing Matt Hughes fight again will be awesome. I am also looking forward to who is next in line to kick Tito's sorry ass.
I saw Anderson lose to the most amazing submission I have ever seen. Was in Pride Shockwave in 2004, via a flying heel hook. Even Baus Rutten could not believe it (and he is awesome). I do hope someone humbles Anderson, or at least have Sonnen FORCE Anderson to finish him (probably via submission)
