didn't mean to offend - but french people typically annoy the **** out of me. he's one of the best but i just don't like him. if you're in a fight then fight. he usually waits until he gets clocked a few times to lay on the other guy. at no point was the GSP/alves match a fight.

Shane Carwin is a pretty big dude. He's like 6'3 265. If he gets passed Cain Velasquez, he'll get a shot at Brock. He doesn't have close to the wrestling Lesnar has but he has very heavy hands -- a punchers chance at best.

Yeah, he is close to Brock's size, but he still seems small compared to Brock although, I have never seen them side-by-side. It would definitely be a tougher match though. I think I heard Joe Rogan say Brock has to cut weight to get down to 265.

Dana White said in the postshow press conference that he's determined to get a deal with Fedor done after his contract is up with Affliction(one more fight vs Barnett) So that's still a realistic possibility.

That would be an interesting fight, but Brock would still have about 30 pounds on him, woldn't he?

No doubt about that. Brock is is significantly larger. I read he walks around at 290, but Carwin is the next largest contender.

It would be interesting. But I don't see anybody stopping Brock for awhile. Fedor needs to come to the UFC. He's the only one with the complete tool set that may be able to stop that monster. Although he'd be giving away some 50 lbs. But, Couture fought admirably against Brock -- until he got caught he was winning the fight, so I guess anything can happen.

Anybody think Mike Swick has any chance against GSP? (assuming he gets pass Kampmann who is no push over)

Nobody seems to have an answer for GSP takedowns. Very depressing.

He'd have more than that. Brock probably weighs about 280 - if not more. Fedor, though, is the best fighter in the world. Brock is a great wrestler and a dominate athlete, but he'd have a difficult time taking Fedor down, standing with Fedor, or not getting submitted by Fedor.

the only one i didn't like was the GSP fight - because it wasn't a fight. that one might of well as been a gay porno - GSP laid on him the entire fight.

Did you see Alves' face? GSP thoroughly dominated his greatest test to date.

A slightly better chance than Matt Serra, but I don't see lightning striking GSP twice. I'm curious to see if Anderson Silva has an answer for his wrestling. I quite like both fighters, but I think GSP should learn from fighters like Shogun, A. Silva, and Machida in that he can improve his finishing. Once he has a fighter down, he should risk letting him up in order to create space to land power punches - especially since he takes fighters down with such ease.

glad to see brock take down mir, i always knew brock would make the transition to mma, he is that good, he just needed the experience

no problem


I know it wasn't a "spectacular" fight by some standards, but GSP is just very strategic and brilliant, he talked about his strategy after the fight and it kind of explains why he fought that way... after all, it worked, so kudos to him

I was yelling "YESSS" for about 10 minutes after the Henderson fight. Bisping is by far my least favorite fighter.

Would love to see Fedor rip Lesnar's arm off.

And, GSP showed why he is one of the two or three best fighters in the world. Would be interesting to see Alves fight Penn or Fitch. I think Alves would likely dominate both.

After Silva rips out Griffin's heart, it's time to see a GSP/Silva fight. It'd be like GSP/Penn, but GSP actually has a shot against Silva.

GSP has no shot against Silva. Anderson says he walks around at 220. He has height/reach/size advantage. He's got great JJ and long limbs assuming GSP can ever take him down. He has pin point striking and great movement.

He'd actually has less of a chance to beat Anderson than BJ had to beat GSP, without the grease. (see 1st fight)

silva would kill him. it's hard to say who would even have a shot. i'd put henderson in there again against him - that first fight was pretty good. the only time that i can think of that someone even won a round against silva.
