Ultimate Fighter- good TV

The Carwin/Lesnar fight has been postponed until 2010.
That sux!!
Apparently Brock has a bad illness that has interrupted his training. OK...
Heal up big guy and put on a beast-like show!
Don't make your fans wait for too long...

Alright, so what's going on in the UFC universe nowadays?

The Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions are the only divisions I care about. If you don't like that, stop reading now.


Saturday night is UFC 113, with the main event being a rematch between Shogun Rua and Lyoto Machida.
Shogun is convinced that he won the last match, despite the judges decision. Machida is an absolutely amazing fighter to me.
I wish I had his skills.
Machida is a difficult opponent to fight. He's very "elusive", very difficult to find a weakness on. Tito "the Tool" Ortiz never landed a single punch on Machida. It was hilarious. Tito chased him around the octagon and got JACK SHIT on him. I used to like Tito. But now I see how much of a goof he is. He can't hang with the evolved fighters in the sport today. There was a time when Tito was dangerous, but now? Retire Teeto! Retire today! lol

Of all the fights I've seen Machida in, he's displayed a Zen and style that is just beautiful. He truly "floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee".
I'm pulling for Machida all the way. His whole aura is awesome. I like how he approaches fights and how he's so calm.
But Shogun is a very dangerous man. He ain't no chump. His kicks did major damage to Machida the last fight. Machida said he was walking around in pain for 3 days after the bout...this match on Saturday's for the Light-Heavyweight title. Go Machida! I hope the victor has a DECISIVE win, so there's no doubt as to who the better man was in the cage.

Someone on some MMA website made the accusation that the last fight for the interim Heavyweight belt was rigged, that Frank Mir was PAID to take a fall. I find that hard to believe, but I do wonder about it.
The guy made a claim that in order to have much bigger paychecks/pay-per-view/gate at UFC 116, they wanted an earth-shaking Main Event, something that sells like nobody's business- even long after, with DVD sales and shit.
MIR/LESNAR 3 just doesn't hold enough juice. Especially since it's only been a year since UFC 100..
So this guy thinks that Dana White and the Masters of MMA fighting at Zuffa paid Frank Mir to take a fall against Shane Carwin?
If that's even remotely true, then there is a possible mafia/fraud scam going on here on a large scale.
Don't go all Don King on us Dana! Say it ain't so that fighters are paid to take a nosedive like Sonny Liston just so you can have bigger gates!
That would turn me off the MMA game de FACTO.
Is there a WWE-type hype machine being well oiled here? Is Dana taking notes from Vince McMahon & his Champ Brock? Who knows, but I'm certainly contemplating it. I am thinking about it.
I find it very difficult to believe, but at the same time I've made a little mental note about it. Let's just say that that kind of corruption "is possible".

That said, Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin on July 3rd is probably the most exciting MMA match I've heard of.
It doesn't really matter who wins- both guys are worthy champions. My "rooting" if you will, goes to Brock, because he actually has much more to lose than Carwin. Carwin has a perfect record. With no fight going beyond the first round. He's a Legend already, at age 35.
How big will his Legend be if he knocks out Brock Lesnar?
Brock has the bigger task of knocking out a man who's never been knocked out, who punches like he's going to take your head off and who no one has been able to weaken. They are about the same size/weight (even tho Brock is taller) but Carwin has stronger punching power. He can knock you out with a SHORT PUNCH. A 2-inch uppercut can bring you to your knees! Just ask Frank Mir!
If I bet on this match, I'd bet on Carwin. Just because of his arsenal and his power.
But I'm a fan of Brock Lesnar. I'd like to see him win, keep his belt. Because then, nobody will say that Brock can't fight. He will truly be Champion and a man to be reckoned with. (he already is in my eyes, but there are still so many shitpumps who still don't think so- who does he have to knock out to shut these fucking jokers up? GOD?) And then that would set up Lesnar/Carwin II, which nobody is opposed to, right?

Brock has to prove that the Heavyweight belt is His, and His only. That's a tall order, given that his next opponent is the baddest man Brock has ever faced. And that bad man is undefeated. With hands like wrecking balls. Who dropped Frank Mir with 2 short uppercuts, the NEW and IMPROVED Frank Mir at that! Frank had put on 40 pounds! And Carwin finished him in less than one round! Brock took almost 2 rounds to knock Frank out...

July 3rd will be exciting as hell! (and strangely it's on the 39th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death)

Oh yeah, and KIMBO SLICE fights Matt Mitrione on saturday night.
Do ya love Kimbo or hate him?
I'm kinda neutral...

[Johann]

Well, my man Machida got knocked out last night. His first loss EVER.
Much respect to Shogun Rua. To dismantle Lyoto Machida LIKE THAT, wow you are a dangerous light-heavyweight...
I'll be watching how Shogun defends his belt quite closely. He's a machine.

And Kimbo Slice got TKO'd.
(yawn)

Last night kicked major ass for me. I was hanging around the Molson Amphitheatre just waiting to HEAR Iron Maiden when some dude said "you want to go to the show?" and handed me two tickets. They were a hundred bucks a pop. I'm still reeling from that. The show was for Dream Theatre and Maiden, but I only got to see Maiden. But how much does that ROCK!?!?
This year has been unbelievable for me. I'm waiting for something really bad to happen. LOL

ANYWAY

My Man Brock Lesnar managed to beat Shane Carwin in an amazing Main Event @ UFC 116.

But! he got dummied pretty badly by Shane. I thought it was all over, actually. I was waiting for the ref to stop the fight.
But Brock took it and was able to wear Shane out and get him in a triangle.

Still the UFC Heavyweight Champ!!!!!!
Still shuttin' up the fuckin' jokers who think he's "a big dumb WWE wrestler"

Shut Yo Mouth Sucka!

BROCK IS FUCKING KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's take a second to address Frank Mir again, because he's a pest.
He's like a fly that buzzes really loud around your ear and you can't swat it away.

I read online that recently he's been analyzing video of Brock Lesnar's win over Shane Carwin and he seems to think he can knock out Brock because of it. He sees "flaws" in Brock's game that he feels he can expose.

First, why are you even thinking of a match with Lesnar Frank? You are barely even in the heavyweight division! You said you JUST DECIDED to stay a heavyweight. Glad you made that decision. It must have been an agonizing one..
You still think you can beat Brock when the man improves by leaps and fucking bounds with every match?
Holy shit your gumption amazes me!
Are you noticing in those fight reviews of yours that Brock is the toughest man in the UFC?
YOU YOURSELF would not have survived that unbelievable onslaught that Brock endured- YOU would've been outta there in 6 seconds!
Brock withstood that heavy shit and came back to submit the UNDEFEATED Carwin- you would never in a trillion years have done that.
A lightbulb should've gone off in your empty head that Brock is a true freak of nature.
That lightbulb should've gone off in your two fights with him, but you're a first-class arrogant shithead aren't you?

Man, what a pest he is.
Frank! You have no hope in hell of ever getting that belt.
The sooner you realize that, the sooner you won't get beat like a gong again.
Go do commentary for soccer Frank. You're much better suited to that.

Just wanted to post that my pride in Brock Lesnar couldn't be any greater.
It's so fuckin' sweet that he kept his belt at UFC 116. And the way he kept it is amazing.
He submitted Shane Carwin.
NO ONE predicted that- Lesnar haters, Lesnar fans, NO ONE. (except Brock's trainers :)

It's so beautiful, what he did. Just when I thought that the greatest MMA match ever was Lesnar/Mir II, along comes UFC 116.
Wow. I'm still basking in it.
Brock basically shut up every single person who said he sucks.
He shut 'em up in Grand Style. Who's your Daddy?

How can the haters deny the awesomeness of Brock Lesnar? If you do, then why don't you cut off your nose to spite your face while you're at it?

The ones who still hate on Brock piss and moan that the fight was over in the first round- that Shane had Brock knocked out.
Well, it looked that way, didn't it? But you weren't the ref, who had a much better view of the action.
And Brock was moving, trying to show that he was still aware that he was in a fight, unlike Frank Mir, who splayed himself out like a hooker when he was being pounded out.

And all these Brock haters wouldn't be saying jack shit if Shane KO'd Brock in the second round, wouldn't they? DAMN RIGHT THEY WOULDN'T.
They'd be stroking their tiny dicks over how Brock "finally got what he deserved".

A WWE wrestler has taken over the UFC Heavyweight division. And he ain't giving that belt up until he wants to.
He was thrown to the wolves. he was never given any easy fights. EVER.
Brock's taken everything that's been thrown his way and where does he stand today?
ON FUCKING TOP. HE'S THE FUCKING CHAMPION.
'Nuff said.

Bless you Brock.
Pride ain't just a fight orgo. It's what I got for an awesome man who lives in Minnesota...
