For the first time in a long time I didn't host a UFC party. Unfortunately, I was too busy working. However, I have to admit after watching the replay online it was quite the jam packed show. It was a summer sizzler and worthy to be UFC's second annual summer extravaganza. Headlining this pay per view was the former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and facing him was undefeated Shane Carwin.
At first thought I had Brock winning hands down even without being in the ring for almost one year. People thought I was nuts. Even thought I was delusional. Now I love guys that can hype and sell a ppv. I am a big fan of Tito Ortiz the Huntington Beach Bad Boy and guys like him. But I am also a fan of GSP the humble champion. But come on BROCK this guy can sell ppvs. He's a former WWE champion and great on the stick. His best quote leading to the ppv " There's a reason why Shane Carwin is a NCAA Div 2 wrestler... not everyone can be division one" and it's true not everyone can be.
I had been quoted in saying Brock Lesnar was the number 1 heavyweight prior to Fedor losing to Werdum and my argument had always been. He's defeated Herring, Couture and Mir in the last two years and Fedor has defeated Sylvia, Arlovski and Buck Rogers.. er Brett Rogers.. Who has the more impressive wins?.. Now throw in Shane Carwin and u have the undisputed number 1 heavyweight in the world.
What Brock showed in on saturday was he had guts and he dug deep and he's the toughest SOB around. He took over 47 shots from Carwin and in the next round hits the arm triangle and it was lights out. I have to admit it was like a WWE script. U know where hulk hogan gets pounded on for 8 minutes then all of a sudden he hulks up .. lands a big boot and then leg drop. Same idea.
Brock you are the man.. and it's time to say your catch phrase.. HERE COMES THE PAIN!
