John Galt Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I really hope for the benefit of all these new UFC fans tuning in to see Lesnar that he doesn't get clipped early and start doing the big Brock shuffle;Â If his defence is anything like that tonight he'll get fucking killed to death. In addition to the shuffle, he also has this great dance move (I'm a big Brock fan, but even I have to admit it's funny) Â Â It's better with the music.

METAL ON METAL Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Rich Franklin is the fighter doing test commentary with Jon Anik this time. Â I'm intrigued by the thought of Franklin as a commentator, I think he'd do a decent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 31, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, that's the main event over and done with, and I'm not surprised to have seen Lesnar lose. Going in I was actually expecting Lesnuuur to win, but as soon as he came out I knew otherwise. I felt he looked somewhat intimidated, and during the bout that was definitely the case as far as I was concerned. Â Where does Brock go now? Â EDIT: Now we know. Home, and to retirement. I can see Brock being the type to stick to it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Deaq Posted December 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm actually pretty excitied about Fitch's return As should everybody. Jon Fitch is the man   Brock looked like he was trying to get out as quick as possible. He looked like a child in with a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hitman 25:17 Posted December 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 Big disappointment. I expected it but still, not fun to see Brock get destroyed again. Â I texted my friend just after the fight saying Brock needs to call it a day as he isn't cut out to be a fighter. So although it's sad to see him announce his retirement I think its for the best.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted December 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, he had a pretty decent run for someone who takes hits like a little girl. Â When will they do Reem vs JDS? That'll be a cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hate him or not, no one can deny how much he has done for MMA/UFC and the growth of the sport as a whole. Hell, you just needed to see how many people on here with little to no knowledge of the sport who never usually watched MMA were pumped to watch it. Â Always loved watching him fight, always got nervous before hand as well as if it were a relative fighting. Â Nice to see him go out on his own terms and be so classy in defeat, the man is an icon and larger than life character in the eyes of two sets of fans - which is hard to do. Â I for one wish him all the best in his retirement and although its an overused phrase, its the end of an era - it may have been short but it had a massive affect in the sport.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted December 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 Brock definitely hasn't seemed the same since the surgeries. Agreed with others, he'd lost the fight before it even began here. His confidence and belief had all but gone i think. Â And how about Fitch - Hendricks?

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 EDIT: Now we know. Home, and to retirement. I can see Brock being the type to stick to it as well. Â Yeah I think Lesnar will stick to it. Â Brock definitely hasn't seemed the same since the surgeries. Agreed with others, he'd lost the fight before it even began here. His confidence and belief had all but gone i think. Â I think there's some truth in that. The surgeries combined with the long layoffs that go with it has gotta fuck with you. He didn't even really commit to a takedown attempt and seemed to just be willing to try and stand and hope for the best which was surprising.
