Paid Members ElCece Posted July 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2016 I dont think he would mind Brock winning. The risk/potential of getting him back again could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Brock gets another big main event down the line and We get Cormier/Silva II for the title. Â UFC/Dana is making a lot of money tonight regardless of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2016 Depends Daz. If Lesnar wins Dana may be wearing his speedos at Wrestlemania in exchange for Lesnar facing Overeem or Stipe for the title - that match will be huge. Â I feel the same way Supremo. Was really cold about this last week, but the tremendous promotional job the UFC have done and the mental controversy have combined to make me want to stay up for all of this.

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 And new colour schemes for the fighter's shorts. Â I won't say any more on the event as we're not supposed to have live discussion, but all these little touches add a lot to the excitement, makes everything feel that much more prestigious. I'm beyond excited. Christmas for MMA fans indeed. Â Dave Sholler tweeted that they're doing rehearsals for Brock's entrance. I wouldn't think they usually rehearse entrances in UFC, so they must have something cool planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm a bit tipsy, and struggling for a stable wi-fi connection at my hotel, so I'll be back tomorrow but Brock Lesnar is my favourite human being ever. What a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Didn't catch the main event, we left, much like most of the crowd in attendance but overall didn't come close to the excitement of the last few shows IMO. Â Brock fight was majorly dissapointing and shared a similar style to the Silva/Cormier fight. Lots of just lieing on top, not a lot happening. Aldo Edgar was fun as was Velasquez/Brown.

jimufctna24 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not sure how to feel about that show.  Aldo and Cain were both excellent. They both answered questions in regards to their decline. D.C vs Anderson was pretty poor. Once you got over who was involved, and considered the most likely way the fight was going to go, it was to be expected that the fight wouldn't set the world alight.  I thought Lesnar was fucked in the 2nd round. I was expecting any moment for Hunt to turn up the volume and clip him, but it never came. He shut Hunt down in round 1 and 3, and left the verdict beyond question, To come back after 5 years out and score a decisive win like that was impressive. The action was slow and uneventful for the most part, but the knowledge that a finish could be a split second away at any time, kept the audience on the edge of their seats.  The Main Event reeked of the UFC's 10 Anniversary show in 2003, where they headlined with Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg. Sure it was a fight that delivered entertainment, but it was woefully out of its depth headlining such a major show. If they wanted to headline with a title fight, I think Aldo vs Edgar would have been the better option. Aldo is at least an all-time great, and Edgar isn't far off.  The show belonged to Brock though. He was easily the biggest star on the show.

METAL ON METAL Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 All in all, given the occasion, an underwhelming show. Prelims were good, but not great. Almost everything was forgettable - aside from the crowd pissing themselves when a 69 position occurred. Rather fitting that the show doesn't live up to expectations after the 'curse' of the whole event. Â Brock did really well considering the circumstances, did what he needed to do. Hunt cost himself though with his lack of strikes whilst still on his feet. Â Cormier did nothing to gain himself any new fans, pretty awful performance in what was a lose-lose fight for him. Â Roll on UFC 202! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted July 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2016 Average show. Impressed with Brock, Cain, Aldo, and Nunes. Â Hated the tacky yellow canvas - looked like Gladiator Challenge. And the shitty low-energy intro where they projected some crooked images onto a curtain. Didn't feel it at all. The crowd sounded dead for the entire show - every single bit - WTF was going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 D.C has become what Rashad was for years. A guy who gets booed, but not for reasons that are totally justifiable. He can be a whiner, and the Anderson fight was piss-poor, but I don't think he deserves the backlash he is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
