Dallas' warped tour is that day, but hopefully I can get out early enough to go and catch this.

 

[sheed]

Definitely going to try and catch the Lesnar fight on a stream somewhere.

 

[A.E]

This card turned into a disaster with all the injuries and other changes to bouts. Carwin vs. Lesnar will still pull down a ton of buys though. I won't dish out any cash for 1 fight but I'll watch online.

 

[Mooche]

I still think I am going to have some people over for this. As long as everyone chips in, I have no problem ordering this.

 

[Dorado]

Pugzy has a chance to change his avy!!!

 

[Blake]

I'll be at BWW for this.

 

[A.E]

Pugzy has a chance to change his avy!!!

If Carwin doesn't win...Pugz is looking forward to about another year, at least, wearing that avy.

 

[Pugz]

If Carwin doesn't win...Pugz is looking forward to about another year, at least, wearing that avy.

gosh, i know. i have faith in carwin though. as to the card, i was going to rent but im going to catch a link.

 

[elcheato]

Lesnar's got this

 

[sheed]

Lesnar's got this

I hope so. It's going to be exciting to see how he comes back from that scary illness.

 

[snipezo]

I'm only looking forward to the Carwin vs Lesnar fight. Stupid Vanderlei and Congo had to get injured.

 

[cruzg24]

I still wonder if Lesnar has fully comeback from his illness and is prepared for this fight.

 

[A.E]

Lesnar's illness is a thing of the past. "Ring rust" is something to worry about with a lot of fighters (ahem, Rampage) but I think Brock is good to go.

 

[sheed]

Yeah that Rampage fight pissed me off so much. But it was worth it, A-Team was great . I heard Lesnar has been training with some real good guys to get ready for the fight so we shall see.

 

[cruzg24]

Lesnar is a really scary dude, that guy is a tank. Too bad he's a jerk.... but maybe thats what the UFC needs, a villain to get thr fans into it and against him.

 

[Pugz]

carwin is the exact same size, but hes more muscle/lean and less girth. and thats something brock never faced, other than an never in shape heath herring..

 

[Mooche]

Carwin has a shot... He just has to land that punch on his chin that every UFC fan wants to see. Brock hasn't been tested yet, really, I personally don't think he can take a punch. With that being said, if Carwin lets Brock smother him and ground and pound it should be a fast fight.

 

[Pugz]

carwin is good enough to not let that happen, and like i said, his size could be an issue for brock.

 

[sheed]

Yeah Lesnar has never really faced anyone as big as he is. He's only had 4 fights in the UFC though. Mir x2, Couture, and Herring. Mir is a big guy, but no where near Lesnar. Lesnar is just a monster.
