I'm sorry. What the fuck are you trying to suggest here?

If the other guy turns his head when you are already in the motion of throwing a legit punch then you shouldn't be deducted a point. There was no way Brock could've stopped that punch.

1. Freak, I love that video in your sig box brother.

2. GDP, you are fucking crazy. We have all seen that first Lesnar vs. Mir fight, and the fact that Brock couldn't slow his lunchbox size hands down when swinging a punch, against a guy who kept ducking his head in so as to get hit in the back of the head, is bad form. Frank got his ass kicked in the first fight and worse in the 2nd. You are right in that he didn't get lucky in the sub, but that is like a recent scrap I was in vs. someone 20 years my senior. He was boxing and I was MMAing. Needless to say the advantages were all mine...

3. I am no fan of Brock, but to say anything he has done for the sport is bad is stupid. That man is the biggest seller of MMA on the planet period. Does it have to do with his days in pro-wrestling? Of course it does. But with the exception of his very first opponent, he has fought nothing but ranked opponents in this sport and literally retired Heath Herring, one of the toughest SOBs I have ever seen.

Thanks Drew.

Get em Drew!

Right, but what about the three after it?

I guess we really haven't learned as much as we thought...

I'm not crazy, I'm loco. What is crazy is to say with any kind of seriousness that the rules apply to every fighter but Brock. Plain and simple if an opponent shows you the back of his head, you cannot hit it, there is no boner induced argument that can make that false. That the laws of physics were somehow stacked against just one guy is a pathetic argument. An amount of discipline, not black magic physics are what caused Brock to attack the back of the head.

Everything else in the post...

I don't think Steve was right to ever seperate them, let alone deduct a point. There was never a clear punch to the back of the head. Frank was turning his head and it wasn't like they were blatant strikes to the back of the head.

Either way we don't need Brock vs Mir 3. Do you really want that fight?

Good call Drew.

Still clamoring for that rematch I see.



And what good call Drew, that the rules of MMA and physics don't apply to Brock? Comedy

I just spent way too much time loling at Brock threads made on this site in the past 17 months. Nothing makes more people go full retard at Ninja's Place more than the mention of Brock Lesnar.

I would agree with that except for the Fedor threads.

lol, good find. There is probably even more of me asking for that rematch

and it was more than one punch to the back of the head freak, i felt that Lesnar could have gotten off with a warning but let's not pretend it's Mir's fault that Lesnar dropped a few punches on the back of his head and nothing should have happened because Mir turned his head which is a perfectly acceptable, legal, not to mention smart thing to do when you are getting punched in the face.

and Drew saying he's not a brock fan is laughable.

I'll go Reem for the win. 21 days of Sig on the line.

Hmmm, no Carwin tapping out.

Why would there be, he stopped fighting before the end of the first round.

i still feel like Randy could've beat Brock by dec that night if he didn't all of a sudden decide to just stand there and trade with him.

Quick, somebody put up some gifs from Overeem's double digit losses. Mainly the ones where he folded like a Fischer Price tent

Shot behind the ear changed everything. Just like the Ace vs Vitor fight IMO. Call me crazy, obviously credit to the men throwing the punches, but either fight could have went the other way if it wasn't for the shot landing right behind the ear.

Where are the takers???

Lol, like Lesnar could ever be comparable to Shogun throwing that kind of strike.

I have Overeem winning this anyway. Lol.
