This weeks TUF was awesome. I know they're trying to build Koscheck as the villain, but he really plays the part well.

I've got Brock by 3rd round TKO.

Do you guys get to see the prelim fights which air an hour before the main card starts?

I think the Brock -Cain fight is really too close to call, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

i think brock might take it with some ground and pound maybe finishing it with a choke

although theres no doubt that cain has the skills to win it

Holy sheeeeee-it. Who the hell UFC are going to find as a realistic challenger to

Even if they got Fedor I think he'd beat him.

OMFG what a performance by Cain.

Sanchez/Thiago was the best fight of the night, in my opinion.

lol @ Brock. I aint surprised as he got lucky v Carwin. That fight should of been stopped and Carwin just punched himself out. Brock has wrestling and thats it. His stand up in defence and offence is poor. When he gets hit all he does is turtle up. He panics and soon as he gets tagged. No composure at all.

Fedor would deal with Brock with ease. Carwin would beat brock in a rematch as well.

Sanchez's running screaming takedown was the most awesome thing I've ever seen

mostly due to the screaming

Lesnar got dominated. Carwin gave him a good beating as well. It seems that without having a huge strength advantage over his opponent, his whole plan falls to pieces and he ends up a big punch bag.

Unertaker interview at the fight:

Man I am so glad Lesnar got beat up like that. A few years ago Lesnar screwed over New Japan Pro-wrestling. Not only would he refuse to work the tours and only work the big shows (which he didnt draw a dime as a main eventer) but he left the company with the title. He refused to drop the belt before he left. Last time he got lucky but this time he got destroyed.

+1
if Lesnar fails to overpower his opponent in the first minute his gameplan is zero
personally I was glad to see him take a beating - great for Cain and looking forward to seeing the Dos santos fight

great to see Diego Sanchez getting back to winning ways always enjoyed his fights throughout his career

Yes, ill be happy to (hopefully) see the end of the Lesnar 'hype' as hes been exposed twice in a row now. He got dominated by Carwin and utterly destroyed by Velasquez, and on both occasions it was because his gameplan of overpowering to the floor and then laying on his opponent was out the window. Hes the new Bob Sapp!

To be fair, his game plan has worked pretty well so far. No one in MMA I can think of has had tougher first 6 or 7 fights. But now he needs to go and develop a stand up game. Other wrestlers have done this, but maybe Lesnar doesn't have the time to become a complete fighter (like Cain).

Even so, I couldn't see Fedor (today's Fedor) beating Lesnar.

But this really is the perfect scenario for White and the UFC. Lesnar will still be a huge draw with people wanting to see him claw his way back to the top -- either Mir 3 or Carwin 2 would be huge headliners. And now they have a new superstar in Cain.

Lesnar is still one of the top heavyweights in the world and pretty much the biggest name in MMA. His game plan wasn't wrong really. Cain is superior on the stand up, Lesnar came in and caught him off guard straight away, even Cain said so. Cain just sprung back up though and showed great composure. On another day, it could of been very different. When Lesnar gets you down, that's usually it.

Also, let's not forget Lesnar is still learning. It's been over two years, he's still going to get a hell of a lot better. Work on the stand up more and come back even stronger. He'll probably fight Mir next in the III fight and steam roll him, leading to a title fight. This fight could of gone either way though. Cant say I agree that Carwin would beat him in a rematch. All it'd take is Lesnar scoring the takedown and Carwin would be in huge trouble.

Cain to face JDS now. It'll be a crazy fight too, because JDS is arguably the best HVW on stand up. Cain's reign could be short lived.

Today’s fedor knocks lesnar out.

Fedor lost his last fight down to making an error which can be rectified. He just made a slight error which allowed him to get hooked. Fedor hasn’t been exposed where you could say “That’s how u beat him”. Brock has been exposed twice. In two fights we have seen him look totally lost on his feet and it seems to me he just doesn’t like to be hit or doesn’t know what to do when his hit. Fedor has always dealt with bigger fighters than him pretty comfortably. Brock would do what he usually does. He would try and shoot for the takedown which doesn’t guarantee success vs. someone who knows how to create space on there back.

On their feet Fedor would outgun Lesnar easily. Fedor has explosive power and with Brock’s chin as soon as Fedor tags him it’s over.

The best fight for Brock next would be Mir. For me thats pointless and even though they are 1-1 the last fight wasn’t close at all. Brock would beat him again but its the rematch v Carwin which is the worry. I don’t see Brock winning that.

Thing with brock is people think cos his such a big guy he must hit hard but his standup is v v poor. he throws punches like a bar room brawler. No skill at all.

His karate chop was great though.

Fedor would beat Lesnar because Fedor now knows how to - defend the takedown and use strikes until Brocks exhausted. That'll be the tactic of everyone who faces Lesnar from now on, and unless Lesnar has a significant strength/size advantage over them, hes going to be left getting peppered in the face until his cheek explodes again.

I think he'll dominate and destroy Mir, but in a rematch with Carwin where Carwin doesnt punch himself out, Lesnars going to have great difficulty not only bringing a guy down whos as big and strong as himself, but also one who hits like a truck. Look at round 1 of the Carwin/Lesnar fight for proof.

If Carwin can't knock out Lesnar, how could Fedor? In terms of punching power, Carwin has far more and he couldn't finish.

A slight error? It was a fundamental error -- something you wouldn't expect from a rookie.

Fedor would beat Lesnar because Fedor now knows how to - defend the takedown and use strikes until Brocks exhausted. That'll be the tactic of everyone who faces Lesnar from now on, and unless Lesnar has a significant strength/size advantage over them,
Firstly, yes, Lesnar does have a strength/size advantage over most people!

Secondly, look at the Rogers fight. Brett Rogers is nothing special and yet he managed to take Fedor down. If Rogers can, Lesnar can.
