geneticfreak Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ummmm... Is it just me. Or does anybody else here think that the unification bout with Nog ought to come first before a 'supposed' title defense against Lesnar? And Brock? A title shot? this early? Sheesh. Give me a break Dana. As for his statements about the Affliction MMA PPV he better not think they'll die that easy he's goin up against good old new york bada** Donald Trump here so he better keep his guard up or Mr. Trump just might pull a fast one on him.

RustyXIII Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The Couture - Lesnar fight is all about money. Brock, with all the potential and draw that he brings to the table, has proved nothing to deserve a title fight at this point. Dana wants a big "comeback" for Couture, no doubt. He's thinking that Couture will just walk through Brock due to the glaring disparity in their level of experience - gaining massive momentum in the process. This could backfire as Captain America had shown in the past that he des not match up that well with competent grapplers/wrestlers who are bigger than him... I agree that the issue with the Interim Heavyweight title needs to be resolved first but knowing how White thinks, he will not risk tainting his brightest talent. Let's face it, Nogueira is not well known with the majority of the UFC crowd. Couture will have major problems with Minotauro. I don't see him maintaining a dominant position on the ground and peppering Minotauro with strikes for a stoppage, so there goes his bread and butter. Submitting him would be improbable. And Couture sure as hell couldn't knock him out. Comebacks always need sacrificial lambs for them to work and in this case, Lesnar's the man that Dana sees fit for the role. Personally, I don't like the route they are taking for Couture's return. Too much emphasis on drama in my opinion. But, drama sells, and that's all there is to it... Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 True True. Money talks as always. And yes the hype of a Lesnar - Corporate este Captain America matchup (especially considering it will be his comeback fight) would be of unimaginable proportions. Quote Link to comment
fatso8 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Nakakatakot kay Brock is his size & speed, baka "lay & pray" lang gawin nya kay Couture, sya pa manalo. Gugulangan sigurado ni Couture to! Hehe! Quote Link to comment

Gugulangan sigurado ni Couture to! Hehe! Hmmm.. I actually am curious on what tactics Randy will employ to derail Brock Lesnar. I don't think his usual 'pin to the cage and take down' approach will work on him. Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 At last! UFC and Randy Coutures drama finally ended! Big Nog and Mir not screwed coz Dana said it will be like a 4 Man tournament for the UFC Heavyweight title! Nog vs Mir will face off with Couture vs Lesnar, there will be the unification of the Interim and the original Heavyweight title. Hopefully it would be Randy coming out of top so the fight woth Fedor would really mean something. Poor Affliction though, I think they're the ones who really got screwed here!!!? They were hoping the fight with Fedor vs. Couture happens in Affliction. But UFC co promoting with M-1?! Hmmm... lets see in the future!? Nog. vs Fedor 4!? Anyone here?! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
Brownman Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Lesnar has not proven anything in MMA yet and a f%%king title shot! Can't wait for BJ against GSPor Anderson Silva vs GSPNow that's exciting! Quote Link to comment

Anyone here?! :thumbsupsmiley: Another Nog Fedor fight? Hmmm.. Nah I really don't think there's any need to have a fourth Nog Fedor fight. Nog himself before his third fight with Heath Herring actually said something to this effect, "As far as I'm concerned there is no rivalry between him and me cause I beat him twice already". The same principle should apply to him if that's the way he's thinking. Furthermore,if he got controlled in the ring Fedor would more than likely be able to control him inside the cage should there be a fourth fight and they put em in a cage this time. He'll just end up trying to fight from his back again and inside a "walled" environment like the octagon, being pressed up against the cage further negates any effort to try and fight from your guard if you've got such a talented GNP guy like Fedor on you.

Larry Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 But UFC co promoting with M-1?! this will never happen, not while Dana has something to say about it. Quote Link to comment
azayco Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Bros: Watched BJ Penn-Matt Hughes replay on UFC Wired last night. BJ Penn won.

I know! But I'm sure Nog want to get his hands on Fedor again. And who do you think will win with the UFC 4 man Heavyweight tournament?! Nog ryt?! Dana's gona k*ll the Hype on a Fedor vs Randy fight by giving Randy his comeback fight vs. Lesnar and the winner will face Nog vs Mir. At the end of all this casual MMA fans will know who is the top two heavyweight in the world. Fedor and Nog! They will be in a rude awakening when Nog Chokes out Mir and Couture/Lesnar!!! So UFC co promoting with M-1?! Fedor in the Octagon?!Hard to say for now :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment

If it did ever come down to having Fedor face perhaps the best heavyweight in the UFC (well right after this 4-man heavyweight title tourney) Nog might actually be the one to face him when all of that is said and done.
