    Looks like you managed to troll of the biggest troll in the business. ;)

    The only chance I see of him becoming Middleweight champion is if Anderson Silva retires. I genuinely can't see him coming any closer to winning the title in their second fight. I mean, even Sonnen winning the title then is a 'maybe' as he was somewhat fortunate to beat Bisping. Although I would consider the Middleweight division to be currently probably the weakest division in the UFC in terms of genuine contenders for the title.

    Ah too bad.. he's a nice guy. In high school he was always training and people would chastise him about it saying he was a dumbass and would end up a general contractor or something menial and he would ignore them and quietly go about his business training. Then his career took off and he remained humble about it. [a friend of mine went to school with him].

    3 years ago, I was at a crowded club and he bumped into my friend who accidentally spilled his drink on GSP. He was calm as a hindu cow and offered to buy my friend a round. Take my hat off to people like that. Could of murdered my friend :LOL:

    They haven't specified yet... He COULD get out of it though, as the sample tested was his A sample. If he requests the B sample and comes up clean he might still have a chance.

    what a moron...he's out definitely ..lol at all the fanboys who bought the horse meat crap ! morons !

    dana : “I am beyond pissed about this. I’m so F*ckin’ mad right now I can’t even begin…” White said in a media call held as the news broke today.
    “The worst part is that he sat in front of us and lied to us. How f*ckin’ stupid do you have to be? Seriously dumb. Anybody who’s using [PED's] right now is an absolute f*ckin’ moron.
    “It’s beyond – what’s the word I’m looking for – it’s beyond belief. It’s beyond comprehension. You’re an absolute moron, a brain-dead absolute f*ckin’ dummy. It goes beyond a guy have any common sense whatsoever.”

    here's a thought...probably wouldn't work but anyways -can I legally put a stream on the web for everyone to see it?

    Let's say I. along with my friends buy ppv event and reproduce it on full HD TV. Then I take my full HD camera, and aim it at the TV and stream it on the web for everyone to see it !Can they ban me ban me for filming my own TV !?

    Brock Lesnar in a come back fight against Dos Santos please. I'd so pay to watch that. Who wouldn't?!

    What other options does White have? Frank Mir could possibly have a title shot, i'd like to watch that too....

    Brock just signed a $5million deal with WWE. Not to mention nobody needs to see that hick get KO'd again. Worst fighter to ever hold a UFC belt.

    He did destroy Frank Mir, beat Carwin ad Coutour. He did get smashed up twice but the fights he won he won good. He was not awful..

    I'm sure he's not complaining with a $5m contract, but I do wonder if Brock regrets re-signing with WWE. It wouldn't be deserved at all but I guarantee Dana White would have turned to him to replace Overeem if he was still available.

    Mir gave him the fight with that attempt at a flying knee, the Carwin fight would have been stopped if it were anyone else, and he outweighed Couture by like 60lbs. Not to mention Couture was like 71 years old.

    Man, people just won't stop trying to discredit every aspect of what Brock done in MMA. Nobody is saying that he was a great all-rounder but there has always been a fierce anti-Brock community within MMA who rip on him when he failed and discredited any acheivement or victory that he had. . . It's fookin lame. :crap:

    I was a Brock fan but in all honesty, Brock was a joke. No hands, no cardio, no technique. Like his style, Brock bull rushed a weak heavyweight division with a limited skillset. When Brock faced elite competition, he was shown to be one dimensional.

    I agree. Brock could have done a hell of a lot more than he did. He should have trained with an elite striking team like Golden Glory and improved his stand-up. But that would have meant leaving his family for a while and dedicating himself to learning something basically from scratch while I think that he neglected that aspect of things because he is such a physical beast and Brock thought that he would be able to explode on everybody and take them down before they could even land a punch on him. Maybe he even thought that he could shrug off any strikes, even from feared strikers. . . Maybe Brock believed his own hype and the unstoppable monster persona that had been created for him in the WWE.

    Maybe he was a tad arrogant about where his skillset was. Also, maybe already being a milliuonaire before he ever set foot in the Octagon mean that he didn't have the hunger that some of his peers did. However, I don't believe that he can be called a 'joke' in all seriousness, why? Because he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion. He wasn't slowly built up. He was happy to step in there with experienced top level guys in his first few fights. Whatever anybody says about the Carwin fight, and however gassed Carwin was, the fact is that Brock shown great heart to come back and win the way he did against a previously unbeaten guy. he dominated Mir in the first fight and made a rookie error, he corrected that msitake and dominated him in the rematch. Couture may have been old but he was still up there competing at a high level and was one of the most experienced and savvy guys out there who had a great record of capitalising on the weaknesses of larger opponents and making them fight his way. He couldn't do that against Brock.

    Nobody and I mean NOBODY becomes a champion in the UFC if they have nothing going for them. Brock was not a 'joke'. It's just that he neglected too many aspects of the game to ever prosper long-term against elite opposition (particularly those with a strength in the striking department). Supposedly Pat Barry wasn't even allowed to hit him in sparring. Maybe that's part of the reason he reacted and panicked so badly when he did get hit in his fights. You just can't do that, punch resistance must be worked on. but maybe when you're a millionaire celebrity physical freak like Lesnar you think that you don't really need to suffer for your art. You do. That was his mistake. But he also deserves credit for the things that he did acheive. He left a relatively easy lifestyle to become a professional fighter and he succeeded, even if it was only temporarily.
