Quote of the Day: Brock Lesnar Was Performing at 60% of His Potential

White revealed that doctors told Lesnar, he's been dealing with the condition for over a year and that he's only been operating at 60-percent of his potential:
"That's a lot [expletive] scary. He's at 60-percent of his potential? What's going to happen when he comes back? How much faster can you beat people? Hopefully we can get though this."
Dana White, striking fear into the hearts of heavyweights everywhere. Brock Lesnar will return, and when he does, this ordeal will probably make him an even bigger star than before.
Things look dark now, but Spring and Summer will probably be huge for the UFC. I fully expect the return of Brock Lesnar and a reconciliation with Quinton Jackson to lift the company out of its current short-term slump.

So I guess Big Nog is Goku and Mir is Gohan? Randy is Master Roshi?
for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.
Meh
Big Nog is Piccolo and Frank Mir is Hercule. I guess Randy is Master Roshi.

Lesnar is the man!
He went from possibly never fighting again, to coming back 40% better!
It’s amazing people still take anything Dana White says seriously.

Giving Shogun his props. I had the fight 48-47 Machida but Shogun put up a monumental performance and I am honored to have seen it in person.
I’m sure between he and jemaleddin there will be plenty of hate to go around.

Yeah, let’s go back to talking about Brock’s colon. I bet he’s really excited to know that everybody’s up in his business, colon-wise, so to speak.

"I thought I won the first round and I thought I won the second round. You see the damage on his face? I got him good," Ortiz said after the fight. "For me coming back, this was supposed to be a warm-up fight. Me and Dana talked about it being a warm-up fight, but Forrest is no warm-up fight, being ranked fifth in the world. I might have bitten off a little too much, but I still thought I won the fight....After back surgery, back after only one year. I want to see another athlete do what I do after one year of having two-level fusion."- Tito Ortiz, who apparently thinks he won the fight against Forrest Griffin

Sadly inaccurate. You spend more time covering your tracks for your Lesnar obsession than he does discussing Mir at all.

He wont even come back at “60%”. You cant be that size of an individual and not have this affect you for the rest of your life especially when you consider the competitive nature of this environment.
Physically and psychologically he will not be the same. Whether he can compensate for this and make up for it remains to be seen.

Are you saying he won’t come back to 60% of his original 100%, which he apparently wasn’t fighting at? Or 60% of the 60% he was fighting at? Or 60% of the new and 166% improved Brock – which would be right back to the 100% he should have been fighting at?
Wow,

How could you possibly gauge the psychological effect? As for the physical, I’ve read reports on diverticulitis that suggest he should expect to return to normal, short of complications. That remains to be seen, but I’m not jumping to any conclusions.

Jokes aside Brock wasnt near 100% if he had been dealing with this for over a year. Fully healed and rested with time to train. Id hate to be his next opponent. You know damn well he will come into that fight looking to make a statement that he is back and at 100%.
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar
yea. There is no way his conditioning was anywhere near what it could have been had he been healthy. His illness would have totally sapped his energy and made him feel very weak. Scary to think about.
Don’t believe Dana’s spin. My wife has the same condition on top of a bunch of other stuff and she does 4-6 sessions at the gym every week without fail.
Where it does get you is in recovery time.
But yes, a fully well Brock is a scary thing to think about indeed.

This is completely retarded.
Was there like some scientific data in Brock’s colon that said he’s only fighting at 60% of his potential? Where did the doctor get those statistics from? It’s obviously just an assumption (retarded one at that). there’s nothing in the condition that can accurately state how much of his potential has been used. It’s the most bogus and retarded thing a doctor can say.
“Well sir, we’ve calculated the injury, did all the math and summed up his condition to evaluate that Brock Lesnar has only used 60% of his potential.. how exactly did i get the data? my ass of course!”
how exactly did i get the data? my ass of course!
The data came from Brock’s ass, actually.
Keep firing Assholes!
In Idaho, it's illegal to f--- a porcupine. You know why? Because someone tried it.
Logically, you would say “Brock hasn’t been using his full potential, do to the infection”
Making up numbers is just retarded.
The point I derived from all of this is that maybe he can be back to normal in a reasonable amount of time. Even the people that talk shit about him want to see him fight and will be rooting against him when he fights next..

That’s true. I’m not a fan but even i want him to recover. He would leave a great amount of curiosity if he never fights again.
But if his doctor is stating illogical data, then it really makes you skeptical on what to believe.
Wait a second
The quote is Dana White misquoting some doctor.
White revealed that doctors told Lesnar, he’s been dealing with the condition for over a year and that he’s only been operating at 60-percent of his potential:
So either White is extremely stupid, or he’s trying to hype up Brock in a dumb fashion. Wait, nvm, its both.

What do you mean
That fight blew my mind, as in “My god, I can’t believe the producers actually thought these 2 turds should be on this show”.
In all honesty
Im sure he will come back better. With an issue like Brock had your body spends its energy trying to heal itself and not recovering from work outs. He would have little to no energy. That means bad training sessions. Throw the neutritionist out the window because food is not being properly absorbed. Brock likely got Pepto sick quite often and food goes out as quick as you can get it in. When youre not nourished you loose your strength. Im sure 60 is just a number they pulled out of the air to put into perspective that Brock was not healthy enough to have a good camp.
Yep, pathetic hyping attempt by White.
he’s only been operating at 60-percent of his potential
First, he’s too dumb to understand that correlating number statistics with an injury doesn’t make sense.
What’s going to happen when he comes back? How much faster can you beat people?
Then he forgets that Brock doesn’t really beat his opponents very fast =\
If they removed the dick from his chest, I’d bet he’d gain another 60%, easy.

@deowade
The statement by Dana White is completely fabricated...
NO physician worth their weight would give some stupid quote like that. Sure they would say, “yes, this appears to have been brewing for a while”…but come on!! More media to be digested by the UFC addicts. Well guess what, now he has had a partial colectomy, his ability to EVER perform to his so-called “potential” will always be compromised…so I guess we will never know. More excuses.
Wags
Hmm random number is kinda foolish to say but im pretty sure they mean his body was only running at half speed. Someone stated above that if he had this problem training. diet, and life as a whole was affected. If brock comes back and is able to train fully without the belly aches and appearent pain. Also eating certan things must have been killer on his stomach. So yeah the quote of him only fighting at 60% is kind of like a street fighter anaolgy where the fight has 40% health taken away but his body could be running at 60%.
