UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
Thanks for the link.
Man, that was sweet watching Lesnar getting the snot knocked out of him. But he did a decent job of protecting himself. Carwin punched himself out early, well before the end of the round. Otherwise he would have ended it. I don't care much for Lesnar, but he deserved the win.
I enjoyed the Leben vs Akiyama fight. Leben likes to swing for the fences and usually puts on a good fight. Glad he won.
And nice to see Bonnar win after losing by TKO due to accidental head butt in Australia. Bonnar seems to lose a lot for a guy that is so good on the ground and on his feet. I'm not sure why.
Carwin seriously needs to work on his cardio. He ran out of gas at the end of the first round. I didn't like Lesnar but he showed a lot of heart unlike Carwin. Sorry, you ain't a great fighter if you can't make it past the first round. Lesnar's right; Carwin is over-rated. It will be interesting to see how Carwin comes out of this. Now everyone knows that his only weapon is his punch and he has a low gas tank. He was a great college wrestler but I haven't seen it in the pros.
Akiyama and Sosynzski let their fights slip through their fingers...
Akiyama just gassed out and let himself get triangled so easily....
Leben sucks (he may be marginally better from when we first seen him on the first TUF) and just relies on his hard oversized head to keep him in the fight...What an embarrassment for Akiyama...
Sosynzski has got to use his fucking head and not just rely on his hands....He's throwing punches at Bonnar's head and Bonnar is all covered up and those strikes were just ineffective - Change levels and throw some knees and kicks to the leg...Some effective body shots.....Something other than throwing punches to an area that Bonnar has protected...
Lytle actually looked sloppy in that fight....His striking looked mediocre....Nice finish with the submission though...
Sitropolous looked good but he definitely needs one more fight or two before a Championship Fight....Would like to see him Kenny Florian...That should be an interesting and entertaining fight....

Manji Leben just fought 2 quality fighters in 2 weeks and beat them both.
To say he sucks is just a little unfair to say the least.
Although he's not the most polished fighter on the roster he does seem to bring it each time out.
If his opponents don't do their proper preparation then their going to come out on the losing end and that is what we saw on Saturday night.
Chris Leben is a marginal fighter. What he has is a granite chin, good power and a lot of heart. He has a will to win that "Sexyama" could not match - Leben simply wanted it more.
Yoshihiro Akiyama made no friends in the UFC front office by complaining about having to fight Leben and has had two lackluster performances (in that he was favoured to win handily and did not) against less than stellar fighters. I bet he's on the "one more loss and you're cut list."

Agreed.
OMG imagine what Wanderlei would have done to him.
Leben has heart but Wandy? That guy hits you with his heart!
Only one i can think of that can beat him is the same person that lost to him. I would like to see a Carwin rematch. Now he has the experience and he can work on strategy and cardio. i dont think Cain has a better chance than Carwin, Cain is giving up 40 pounds probably. and can anyone be serious thinking that Roy Nelson would even be competitive against Lesnar?
I would like to see these fighters fight more than twice a year...they could go every 3 months 4 times a year. GSP it seems hardly ever fights last fight kind of sucked and he wont be fighting again until late 2010 after TUF.
I'd like to agree but I have a sense that Overeem is in the same situation as Fedor, too used to weaker competition.
Cain can and will beat Brock.
He has the wrestling to stuff his shots.
He has the stand up to knock him down to the ground.
He has the cardio to not gas out once he gets there.
