Saw the Fedor/Werdum fight vid finally. Tsk... IMO it could have been either overconfidence or haste. In any case you are not supposed to leave your arms extended in someone's guard like that for prolonged periods (must improve position) or they will eventually catch you. Must have been the former since as someone here has already mentioned Fedor actually has a very good submission game himself and has done well against BJJ specialists like Werdum in the past.

 

Oh well... it's MMA. nuff said.

 

And oh im rooting for Carwin against Brock this sunday. I don't think anybody will be taken down in that fight so it'll all depend on the standup and I still think Carwin has better standup than Lesnar. And i'm quite sure Greg Jackson has a trick or two up his sleeve in dealing with Brock.

Dude, what title will Fedor lose if he is not even their champion??

 

He is just that damn good (or lucky, however you wanna call it)..

 

I think Fedor is still the WAMMA (World Association of Mixed Martial Arts) champ, if that distinction still matters. o_0

 

And to be frank, I'm sick and tired of all the Fedor - Brock talk. Have Fedor face JDS & he'll be in bigger trouble IMO. Sh*t.

I think everybody knows that WAMMA belt was a make belief belt during the Affliction days..

 

As much as I want to see Fedor fight those studs, I know that it will never happen.. I'm just glad that the "God" perception of him is now over..

Yup. Me too. Just to incite some more thoughts on the recent loss by the so called last emperor. I have always thought of Fedor as being one of the 'smaller' type heavyweights (always around 230-233 lbs) and I actually think he can go down to 205 given the right amount of work, similar to what Brandon Vera had to do after he started getting outclassed by the really big heavyweights.

 

How scary would he be in the light heavyweight division given his slew of success in the heavies prior to that loss to Werdum. ;)

Just one loss and you guys thinking of Fedor cutting weight to 205lbs? Tsk tsk... He got caught in a Triangle/armbar by a ADCC/Mundial Champ in Werdum! No surprise there!!! Wrong move in his part that he followed the Brazilian to the ground and got choked! We'll see what happens on his next fight!

 

Brock vs. Carwin na! Hmmm... Sino kaya mananalo? Think Lesnar's gonna win but it will be a close one!

UFC 116 Preview

Brock Lesnar Talks Shane Carwin - "I’m a Better Ground and Pound Guy"

 

"I’ve prepared. This fight I see it going either way. We can stand and I of course have superior wrestling skill. More superior than his. I wanna be able to control this fight and take it wherever I want to. I’m a better ground-and-pound guy. That’s where I’ve shown a lot of success. There’s no secrets about my game. I’m a pretty blue collar, straightforward, let’s get after it kind of fighter. My prediction is I’m coming home with the belt on Sunday morning."

 

"The training camp is the hardest part of this. That’s what takes a lot of fighters out of the game. It’s a grueling time. The fight itself is probably the easiest part. It’s the part that us, as athletes and competitors, love to do for the love of the game. That’s our passion, that’s our pure enjoyment, but we torture ourselves in the offseason to make ourselves better in season. It’s a long, grueling process. There’s no easy way around this game. You have to get in, you have to do fight simulation practices, and you have to get your hands dirty. For 10-12 weeks that’s what I’ve been doing. I have no problem sweating that’s for sure."

 

 

Shane Carwin on Lesnar - "You're Gonna See Brock Lesnar Knocked Out on the Canvas

 

 

UFC Interim Heavyweight Champ Shane Carwin appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter today. A glowering, menacing presence, he wore a black base ball cap that hid his eyes in shadow and grumbled quietly but confidently as he answered the host's questions.

 

When host Josh Elliott asked if the bout would be decided based on who was the better grappler, Carwin answered that he has prided himself on his focus on the stand up game and that he expected to win the fight with his striking.

 

Elliott pointed out that Carwin played linebacker for Western State and was actually rated as one of the top 15 NFL prospects at linebacker by at least one talent scout at the time. When asked why he had not pursued football rather than MMA, Carwin answered that the same qualities that make a great linebacker -- the pleasure in hitting other people -- are what make him a driven martial artist.

 

Elliott then explained that Carwin had won the interim belt while Lesnar was out with an illness and Carwin responded, "Brock has the real belt. I'm going to take it from him Saturday."

 

He closed the segment by predicting, "You're going to see Brock Lesnar knocked out on the canvas."
