Fedor was losing to Arlovski before he got that shot in. Ive only seen 2 Fedor fights. He beat the **** out of Tim Sylvia but Id think he would win in a rematch and he didnt look great against Arlovski. So I cant say Im jumping out my chair for him. At the Affliction PPV I did see Vitor Belfort knock the **** out of Matt Lindland. Ive always been a Vitor fan so Im hoping he gets back into the swing of things.
I was reading some earlier posts and someone said that there is no one to latch onto in the UFC. He then went on to name a bunch of people that you could latch onto haha. However maybe its better that the big star of the time isnt a big star for 10-15 years. Maybe its a good thing that 3-4 years we love em, and then go to someone else. I mean people had Tito Ortiz and Ken Shammrock and Randy Couture when UFC was getting really big. Then Chuck Lidell took it by storm and he was on SI covers and on tv shows and everything else. Chuck Lidell was the face of UFC. Then he lost a couple fights in a row. But he didnt pack his **** and leave. He has a fight on PPV this Saturday and people cant wait to see it. He may not be number one anymore but he sure as hell still draws a crowd.
As for fighter today to latch onto, I mean hell, you have one or 2 in every division. You got B.J Penn and Deigo Sanchez. You have GSP. Anderson Silva, the STACKED Light Heavyweight division with Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson, not to mention the champ undefeated Rashad Evans. And Brock Lesnar in the Heavyweight division.
Someone also said these guys try to do as little work as possible to win a fight. If you say Brock Lesnar's fights against Mir and Herring, you wouldnt say that about him. Randy Couture always works his ass off in every fight. Ive never seen Tito Ortiz take it easy in a fight. Chuck Lidell and Anderson Silva, they may not rush there opponents, but they wait for the right time to strike, and when they do, its **** beautiful. And Rampage vs Jardine a few weeks back was a great fight. So your wrong on that front.
Pro Wrestling or MMA? For me would be MMA, because its unpredictable. Wrestling is so predictable its sometimes not worth watching. I love Ultimate fighting its great. Im even looking to get into other leagues other then UFC.

That's the main problem with wrestling now, and why MMA is getting more popular by the day. MMA can't be predicted, on a normal basis anyway. I became a fan about a year ago, started watching Pride and UFC 'cause it was finally on cable. So what if some fights last a minute? None of it's planned, you can't call the finish at the beginning of the match. If it's not for you, then it's not for you. Saying it's "boring" I don't have a problem with either. My brother watches golf on TV. While I find it excruciating, he finds it fascinating, watching technique and seeing different facets of the game.
That's kinda why I stopped watching WWE completely when the only descent people left were Orton, Micheals, and Angle. Actually, when Angle left, that was it for me. Just couldn't watch the same five people being in the main event slot for that long. TNA slowly started losing its appeal, as well. Seeing as how every new big name that came in had a title match instantly, lost that one, had a rematch, and won it the second time around.

But, if you want the REAL **** for self defense, and for a good fight, you go for the Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, thats what they teach Soldiers these days, and i believe they were doing that for a while even BEFORE I went in in '01.

Everyone always wonder if wreslters will be legit MMA fighters, but to be one, you have to have the right training, and lesnar is just a natural demon with great wrestling background, and lashley is a former Military man, Army I believe, and he got BJJ training there, guaranteed.

maybe, but it isnt likely. Lashley isnt UFC Champ, and therefore doesnt have the crazy amount of money being poured into his training regimen that Lesnar does. All that state of the art **** he uses gives him an edge, well, that, and the fact that he's built like a brick shithouse.

Both are built the same way.
I guess Brock has the edge because he has more experience with the big boys (UFC).

Bobby Lashley should be able to just freak his opponents out with those eyes of his. Creepy.

That would work, if he wouldnt talk before the match. That Thwagger Lithp is like Tyson. He looks cary, until he opens that mouth lol. Of course, Bob Sapp is a big bastard, but has a baby's mannerisms, so yeah. however, lashley and lesnar are built similarly, but youa re right, lesnar has more experience in the big time, and, while he might be built similarly to Lashley, he also has a distinct size advantage over Lashley. I would like to see them fight though.
