This.

JDS would pick Brock apart with his superior boxing skills.

Mir had a high crotch, Brock would have finished that. I still would favor JDS by a decent amount but Brock certainly presents some problems with his size and athleticism. Question is, is he healthy and recovered from the surgeries and will he ever be the same?

I think Brock would be one of the only HW's with a chance to beat Junior. His pure mass, strength and athleticism could cause problems if he could get JDS down. I think Brock will come back and will fight Mir for the trilogy fight.
The Old Brock defitley would have a chance against JDS. The Brock we saw after his surguries and new diet has little chance of beating JDS. It would just depend if Lesnar can get back to 100% of his old self. I am actually excited for a hopefully healthy Velaquez to get his rematch. I really think right now its JDS Velaquez and then a pretty decent gap and everybody else. The only exception is we need to see Cormier against a Mir, Big Nog, or one of the top 2. Hes the hardest guy to rank right now. Who knows maybe his wrestling would let him take JDS down. Hell who knows maybe JDS has some great BJJ we havent had to see yet.

Whatever happened to Shane Carwin? I haven't paid much attention to the HW division recently because it hasn't been that interesting to me.

He had back surgery, should be cleared to fight this week. Look for him to get a big match up within the next few months, dude is a monster.

Honestly the UFC needs Brock Lesnar, he brings so much attention to the sport and does incredible numbers.

My guess is Brock was hoping Mir would pull it off so he could come back and try to win the belt against Mir because he isnt afraid of Mirs striking. But I honestly don't think he wants anything to do with JDS or Cain again. Brock can't take a punch and those 2 would destroy him. I honestly don't think he could beat them even before he had the surgeries but that's just my opinion.

Definitely not the news I thought I'd hear from Arianny Celeste...
Super, ridiculously, incredibly, amazingly hot UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste was arrested early this morning for allegations of domestic violence ... TMZ has learned.

Good little read on Nelson and White:
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/roy-nelson-had-message-dana-184738011--mma.html;_ylt=Ao0cRv13OSijWBLvWNlkOKo9Eo14
Following the knockout, Nelson climbed the Octagon cage and shouted something in the general direction of White and Fertitta. What he said exactly isn't known, but White gave a pretty good indication of what it was following Saturday night's event.
“That was Roy Nelson's (expletive) you to me and Lorenzo,” said White. “Did you see him come over and yell at us after the fight? It was.”
LOL

Arriany looking rough, I heard that she kicked the guy in the face lol. Mayhem needs to take some time away from the sport and reinvent himself. He needs to drop the goofy shit and become focused on his career if this is what he wants to do. I feel like he is a UFC caliber fighter but he needs to refocus.

It may be weak here, but it's more for the brazilians since this is their first TUF. They have been doing unreal numbers down there on it. I agree that here in the states in should be free as it's basically tailored to the Brazlian TUF.
