Just three short months after successfully defending his UFC heavyweight crown against Shane Carwin (11-1), Brock Lesnar (5-1) will return to defend his belt again against young gun Cain Velasquez (8-0) on October 23, 2010 at Anaheim, California’s Honda Center as the headlining bout for UFC 121.   While the card has not been “officially” announced by the UFC, UFC president Dana White has confirmed this bout as well as two others featuring lightweights “Hands of Stone” Sam Stout (15-6-1) and “Relentless” Paul Taylor (10-6-1) and middleweights Ryan Jensen (15-6) and TUF season eleven winner Court McGee (10-1).  Also rumored to be slated for action on this card is the always crowd pleasing “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (28-8).  UFC 121 is already shaping up to be a card with ramifications that run deeper than just the UFC’s pecking order and the chief among those is the answer to the most intense debate between MMA journalists in recent months: Is Brock Lesnar the number one heavyweight fighter in the world?

UFC on Versus: Jones vs. Matyushenko Pre Fight Breakdown: Tyson Griffin vs Takanori Gomi

August 1, 2010 the UFC returns after a month long hiatus to bring us UFC on Versus: Jones vs. Matyushenko from the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, CA.  Dana White and crew have put together a card that pits yesterdays top tier against today’s new up and comers in a collection of mid-tier wars that will separate who moves on to the top and who gets penciled in to face their divisions resident gatekeeper.   The first of these trimming the fat style fights will take place in the UFC lightweight division as “The Fireball Kid” Takanori Gomi (28-7) attempts to prove that he belongs in the UFC against Tyson Griffin (14-3), a man who appears to be permanently on the cusp of title contention.  This is a truly interesting fight between two fighters in desperate need of a win.  Tyson Griffin has to win to avoid back to back losses landing him in a roll as gatekeeper, a fate he has managed to avoid thus far.  The former PRIDE lightweight champion, Gomi, hasn’t won a fight in almost two years and is coming off a very lopsided beating at the hands of “KenFlo” Kenny Florian (13-4).  These two men have to win to move forward in the UFC.  For Gomi, a loss means he will almost certainly be cut from the roster, for Griffin, a loss means his title dreams are shattered as he becomes that guy you have to beat to fight on the PPV card.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: UFC 116

Brock v carwin The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: UFC 116

On July 3, 2010 the UFC returned to the MGM Grand Garden Arena to determine not only the promotions heavyweight champion, but the man who many would consider the number 1 heavyweight fighter in the world.  In addition to the showdown between the unbeaten interim champ Shane Carwin (11-1) and returning heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (5-1) there were also bouts between lightweight standouts George Sotiropoulos (13-2) and “Batman” Kurt Pellegrino (16-5), a rematch between TUF alumni “American Psycho” Stephan Bonnar (12-7) and “The Polish Experiment” Krzysztof Soszynski (20-10-1), a middleweight affair between Yoshihiro Akiyama (14-3) and “The Crippler” Chris Leben (21-7), and a welterweight war featuring “Lights Out” Chris Lytle (29-17-5) and “Immortal” Matt Brown (11-9).  UFC 116 delivered like no one thought possible with every fight.  From the prelims to the main card every single fight delivered non-stop action and most of the bouts showcased the entire spectrum of true MMA skill sets.  However, like every contest, there were winners and losers at UFC 116, but in MMA nothing is ever that simple.  Some winners lose, some losers win, and some losers, well, let’s just say they lose more than just the fight.  This is an analysis of who came out ahead, who came out a little rough, and who would have been better of staying at home called The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Brock UFC 116: Brock Lesnar Baddest Man on the Planet?

UFC 116 ended last night with Joe Rogan calling UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (5-1) the “baddest man on the planet” after he defeated Shane Carwin (12-1). It is hard to make a statement such as that after watching his performance and comparing him to some of the other fighters in the heavyweight division around the world.

The UFC doesn’t need my praise, or anyone else’s praise for that matter. It is the world’s top promotion. The praise belongs squarely on the fighters that stood in the cage and gave what could go down as one of the most entertaining nights in MMA history. Being the biggest dog on the block can lead to a stale product, but once again tonight proved that a promotion is only as good as the fighters it keeps.

UFC 116 Pre-fight Breakdown: Shane Carwin vs Brock Lesnar

lesnar carwin UFC 116 Pre fight Breakdown: Shane Carwin vs Brock Lesnar

On July 3, 2010, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the multitudes of UFC fans worldwide will witness the greatest heavyweight fight since “The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko (31-2) faced Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovik (28-7-2) in 2005 when UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar (4-1) squares off with Interim Champion Shane Carwin (11-0) not only for the UFC crown, but also for the title of number one heavyweight fighter in the world.  Never has there been a bout in the UFC heavyweight division between two such incredibly dominate fighters, not in terms of record per say, but in terms of results.  Brock Lesnar is a giant of a man who is far more athletic than the majority of fighters from 185lbs up and he has utterly dominated everyone he has faced since his loss to Frank Mir (13-5).  Shane Carwin is just as big, if not bigger, and has never taken more than four minutes to finish an opponent.  This fight was already set to be one of the most anticipated bouts in UFC history, but with the fall of Fedor last Saturday, it has become positively epic.  The only thing I worry about is how Brock and Shane plan to live up to all the hype in the 2 minutes 55 seconds their fights last on average.   Continue reading »

underdog Looking for the Underdog: Brock Lesnar

When you’re sporting a 4-1 record the one loss can speak more volumes about you than the four wins. Especially when in 5 fights you’ve found yourself at the top of your division. This Saturday at UFC 116 Brock Lesnar (4-1) will face Shane Carwin (12-0) and experience in the octagon will not be a factor in deciding who is the Undisputed champion of the UFC heavyweight division.

When it comes to actual time spent in the octagon, Lesnar actually has the edge on Carwin. Shane Carwin has less than 20 minutes of actual inside the ring fight time. Granted that’s all he needed to dispose of every single opponent in sensational fashion, he’s bound to face at least a few new situations in his fight with Brock.
