Jorge Rivera, UFC 126 Fight Card Analysis, Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament Talk on MMA Nation on 106.7 The Fan

Can’t wait for the show

Post is on here about it…

ummmm Rampage Jackson is and will always be the worst….case closed. Brock will probably be quite intelligent and likable.

Luke, this season will be big and do big ratings but it wont match Kimbo for one simple reason.

Kimbo fought on teh show, so didnt like 5 to 6 mill watch that episode Kimbo/Nelson?

Brock isnt fighting, yes the show as a whole will average great numbers, but it probably will average less then the Kimbo season cause Kimbo fought on that season, if Brock fought he would do 7 to 8 mill viewers easy on Spike.

Guy just said it, Page/Rashad with teh beef sold the show as well.

Brock is gonna do big ratings but not as big as that season.

Brock and Konrad will def teach these guys wrestling, and JDS team can bring in exactly what this guy said, Nogs, Machida, Anderson, and Aldo, they will bring in those all star guests.

But Brock and Cole Konrad helping these guys wrestle which is a major foundation for mma so they can learn alot of wrestling from them.

JDS will teach alot of striking and bjj.

The number one thing Brock brings as coach is eyeballs. The fighters on this season of TUF should be ecstatic how well known they’ll be from this year, just as Nelson has got to pleased he was on season 10 with Kimbo, Rampage, and Evans.

That would be interesting AND scary as fuck.

Will people be pissed if Brock isnt a dick, doesnt flip out and actually cares about his fighters and teaches them?

Will people tune out if he isnt a jerk, isnt flipping out, being a dick, threatening to walk off the set, I think people want that, sure if he was nice and cared about the fighters and was a good coach some will look at him and think he is a good guy but doesnt that hurt him in a way? SUre like Rashad, I didnt like him, I’m not a tito fan but seeing how they were on TUF I liked them more cause of the way they cared about their fighters.

But dont people want Brock to be the dick? To be hated, they want to hate him, want to see him get his ass kicked, want to see him flip out, thats his appeal, what did you liek more? Brock flipping out after UFC 100, mount his wife, Coors, drooling barking at the camera, or UFC 116 Brock about how he is blessed and humbled etc?

SUre the 116 Brock I liked and enjoyed but UFC 100 Brock is the one we all want to see and talk about cause its just appealing.

Deep down we all want to see Brock bitch and moan and threaten to walk off the set, tear into his fighters if they suck and lose, being a dick cause its good tv, its entertaining, JDS is a nice quiet guy, Brock is the one who has to make this season entertaining, just like Kos had to do.

I really think getting sick changed Brock, being out for that year, losing the training time and all that, he needed to stay cocky and arrogant and a dick.

Yeah Luke I know you were referencing my comment about Kimbo fighting on the season.

Shout me out Luke.

Is Brock Lesnar NOT a high level elite fighter, a former champ and big time contender in the biggest MMA promotion in the world.

This caller doesnt understand that you have to get attention to get the fans.

Does he think if they put these great coaches that nobody knows then guess what, they wont watch.

You need to have Brocks and lure the fans in and then they will stick around and love the sport, but you have to get the fans in.

They arent doing frat house shit anymore.

Since season 8 they havent done shit, the biggest thing you can mention last season was walking in at a guy in the shower and seeing him jerking off and laughing about it?

I mean yes season 8 with pissing and jerking off in food was sick, I dont want to see that shit, but since then season 9 10 11 have been perfectly clean.

Who has a better mustache: Him or Don Frye.

Seriously, you have to do that.

He’s geeking right now.

I think the UFC talked Lesnar into doing TUF by offering him all the free shooting sessions he wants at “The Gun Store” in Vegas. Let him blow some steam off with fully automatic fire.

That Dan Severn call was surreal.

crap double post

No I dont think they did this to counter SF, I think they were trying to get this done before SF even announced the GP.

Brock has a book coming out, the Spike contract is almost over they need a way to get Spike big ratings and show Spike they need UFC.

will be the key to the ratings… his buttons need to be pushed, if this guy is super unpredictable as they say he is… it shouldn’t be too hard

Cain wont make an appearance, for what? He isnt connected to either team, unless they bring him in and be like he fights the winner of the coaches fight but that would be pointless.

They way they edit it will determine alot, after a few shows they will show Brock blowing up and tease that so you have to watch that episode and it will turn out to be nothing, just like they teased Kimbo could come back and get another fight but it never happened.

They will do stuff like that to add interest in the second half of the shows.

Can you use Fugazi – Waiting Room? It’s got an epic opening.

Is their any word on some of the fighters that could be on the show?

I get the one reason they cant have the best prospects is cause if they dont speak English.

Like Edson Mendes, Oliveira, Chiquerim, they could have been on last season LW TUF.

So they cant get those great Brazilian prospects if they dont speak English.

But I hope Yuri Villefort is on this season, he was ranked the top WW prospect on this site, he is a beast, I believe he does speak decent English as well, he hopefully is on this season.
I dont get why Galvao was left off, he couldnt even make the top 28?

Tuf needs a top fighter that wins the show that they can say TUF still produces contenders, before you had to do TUF to get into the UFC, now you dont.

Now Jones, Davis, Edson, Oliveira etc can just sign with the UFC they dont have to do TUF.

I hope next season after this is FW/BW, get guys like Ronnie Mann. Get some top prospects that could just sign with teh UFC but instead go on TUF so you can build them up, plus your better off being on TUF where 2 mill people watch every week, more will know who you are rather then fighting on an undercard in the UFC.

how are you gonna keep bisping off his bicycle for 3 rounds… the guy is a runner

Could you ask Jorge this for me-

Isn’t the steeper learning curve from MMA to boxing, as opposed to MMA to kickboxing indicative of the fact that MMA striking utilizes all 8 points (as they do in kickboxing/ muay thai)?

The hands aren’t the same in boxing as they are in MMA. The way you move, strike, hold your stance & guard is different from boxing, and it’s more of an adjustment than MMA -—> kickboxing.

does brock show up at the TUF house with Deer Meat for his team?

that was blocked from Station Casinos.

said his moustache was better than don frye’s

LOVE THIS GUY!

Great show this week Luke. You and Othello killed it.
