He's supposed to be a purple belt in BJJ, I have a LOT of trouble buying that, as he did nothing to avoid the triangle attempt...nothing what so ever,.

The sad thing is he was "answering the phone" for the first 10-15 seconds, I even made a mention of it to the people we were watching the fights with. I said "he's fine, he's defending perfectly". Then Brock adjusted something and Carwin stopped his defense and bam, he tapped like 5 seconds later.

119 definitely has to bulk up before it is worth buying. Lesnar/Velasquez would do that.

I am really looking forward to WEC 50

^^^Rumour is, is that wont be the main event.

They ought to call UFC 117: USA vs Brazil

What could they have that would trump that fight for main event? Or do you mean it's just not going to happen at 119?

Dana White said Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez isn't happening at UFC 119:

Well that sucks.

I'm not surprised it will not happen at 119, Dana said that before he even knew if Brock with get any medical suspension from the Carwin fight and stated only if Brock was healthy enough for that quick of a turnaround.

Yeah, I kind of thought it wouldn't happen also but was just hoping it would I guess. Ha

I can't wait for it though!!

Fab1b;414794 wrote:I can't wait for it though!!

Yeah same here. They better dig up a big fight to slap on that card then because it will only drag in the fanatics without a big name fight.

Brock/Velasquez will be a good one.

I was really impressed with Leiben(sp)

I hate Lebon but I give him props!!

I heard that Brock is about to have another son in about 2 weeks, and he's got to farm, and shoot some white tailed deer before the fight

Man, I really don't see how some people don't like Brock.

It's the dick tattoo.
