Kinda surprised to see Randy as undecided.

Methinks he wanted to say Brock but acknowledges, after Rogers/Overeem, that nobody wants him to pick them.

That got me wondering too. Maybe he doesn’t want people to think that he’ll pick Brock just because he trained with him a lil bit.

by Jigger on Jul 2, 2010 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think it means he’s thinking Carwin but doesn’t want to piss off his new training partner.

I want Kim Winslow or Tan Dan to ref Tito Ortiz' next loss.

I honestly think it just means he's smart enough to realize

that so many unpredictable factors are in play here that it’s basically impossible to predict this fight with any certainty.

yeah but that leaves you with a 50% chance of success

I will scream like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert if the cage breaks, like Melendez said.

Nice

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

In other news, 9 people are dead wrong.

Keep Firing, Assholes!

Which 9? I’m thinking Melendez, Maynard, Edgar, etc.

I can’t wait to hear the whining after the fight.

Did you see the size of that chicken?

by Heenan on Jul 2, 2010 5:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

If believing Shane will win is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. :P

Also, did you see the FL fist comparison between Brock and Shane? Good lord, Shane’s hands are like 1/3 bigger than Brock’s! Brock’s already shown a fairly suspect chin in the 2nd Mir fight (he got wobbled) and if Shane lands 1 clean shot it’s the end of Brock’s reign.

That picture is so misleading

Carwin’s hand is taped tight, in gloves, and just finished punching Frank Mir’s face about 30 times. That swells your hands up a hell of a lot more than sitting in the stands drinking a beer. Every picture from recent appearances have made Lesnar’s hands look even if not bigger.

by Trysdor on Jul 2, 2010 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t know man, I seem to remember at UFC 100, Frank popped Brock good, and he didn’t just walk right through it. It actually hurt him, and his instincts caused him to take Frank down…and the rest is history.

(by “wobbled”, I meant “wobbled”, not "rocked)

He was so wobbled

He pulled Frank Mir off the cage.

There’s so much fake mythos in Lesnar’s fights by his haters.

“Randy hurt him”

“Couldn’t take down Randy”

“Lay and pray Heath”

“Mir rocked him”

Cause there's only one, and that's me
You understand? for all that fighting, you understand
That sucka think he good, that sucka think he can whoop me
And i know he can't whoop me, Ay boy, the n**** whole style is chump

OK, but I think it’s been established far before this that Carwin has naturally bigger hands than Brock. And if I’m not mistaken, wrapping your hands compresses them, making them appear smaller than they actually are. And I was going off the size of the fingers on that observation, I took into account the fact that he was wearing gloves. And the purpose of the 4oz. gloves is to protect a fighters hands, reducing broken bones & swelling. And it’s already been established that Shane has bigger hands than Brock…Wait, did I mention that one before? Yes, cause that’s the most relevant point. :)

Thank you Erin

Your asked if Brock or Shane will win and you bring up cyborg lol

Wow, Randy has no opinion of a fight.

He has a semi-friendship with each fighter. You just KNOW that he has an opinion on this. Too many possiblities why he is keeping it zipped for this one I don’t want to be labeled “Mr. Obvious” and name them.

What a surprise

the 9 people who pick Brock are mostly wrestlers, 9 people for Carwin? mostly not.

by I Can't Feel My Face on Jul 2, 2010 10:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Jon Jones, a member of Carwin's team

chose Brock.

I keeo going back and forth on it and right now I think Carwin will connect at some point, but yeow.
Also, the picture of them squaring off after the weigh in is telling of the body styles, and look at the size of Carwin’s ass compared to Brocks’.
