I don't care one way or the other about Brock. But you have to respect what the man accomplished. He got thrown in with the best, no gimme fights from the start & won the title. He fought Mir twice ( former champ), then he fought Randy who was the champ. he also fought Herring who was tough. He had half as many fights as Cain did before he got a Title shot & made the most of it.

Bently Fedor versus Nogueria or Fedor versus Crocop were better fights.

You are correct except for one thing. Lesner was the one asking for these fights and talking all kinds of crap about how these guys did not really know how to fight. Brock was alianating himself right from the git go with his competitors and commrads alike. He was arrogant and self serving, and got what he deserved. He was even warned by Dana White about how this is not the WWF and we don't get personal to that level. He had to be told to tone it down or he would be banned. He is an A$$ and I was happy to see him get hammered. Humility is a good thing sometimes.

I was too. Except I tired real quickly with the whole racial thing people kept blathering on about.

But now I want to see the Dos Santos and Velasquez. Would like to see Carwin get back in that mix. Just no more Mir, he had his time.

Hippie I haven't seen those, but I am sure you are right. I named the other fights, because they are an example to me of what Fedor is so good at. Fedor has always intrigued me as he is not always the most physically dominate fighter, but he seems to be able to get in and land great shots. Which watching UFC 121 is what Cain did to him. He was a little shorter than Brock and clearly gave up weight, but man he got in range of Lesner's face and dropped bombs...made every one count. It was great.

Shocker and Tex, you guys make great points. I have wondered if Dana White offers extra money to go out and make a d*ckhead comment. And with the fighters I have never understood why the need. I get predicting you will win, but if you think your opponent is so unworthy and you beat him, then what have you accomplished. Where if it were me, I would be like Randy Couture, I would talk about how good and complete they skills are and how much I respect them and how they will be a challenge. But Randy is the last of the old guard.
