BROCK LESNAR def. MARK HUNT via unanimous decision at UFC 200

[Acallabeth]

Overall, it was an underwheloming card for UFC 200. Finished fights were fast and lopsided, decisions were mostly uneventful.
Then again, what could we expect with Aldo/Edgar, Cormier and Lesnar.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Can still do Miesha vs Holly for #1 contender.

Winner of that fight vs Nunes.

Winner/Nunes vs Rousey (undeserved, but whatever).

If Nunes loses before Miesha or Holly climb back, then it's ****ed. Lol

Edit: well then.

Couldn't they do Ronda/Tate and Nunes/Holm and than the winners face off?

Probably would be the best way to go financially.

 

[Garbs]

I like that idea way more, but Ronda is seemingly still months away from being ready.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Probably would be the best way to go financially.

Makes the most sense too. Holm deserves a title shot the most and both Rhonda and Tate would be fighting for some redemption.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He has Brock in a contract for another year or two, maybe even three. He fulfilled the one UFC fight obligation. He can say no and Lesnar is still under contract.

Like I said, ultimately, I don't think Vince says no, but this time he's going to get more than a few plugs in. He's going to get a McGregor or Rousey.

Like I said, if Vince.says no, he loses Brock forever.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ahhh. I thought she was closer.

Tate definitely lost some luster losing that quickly.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Still injured?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think at least Vince would want more WWE around Brock. His theme, maybe Heyman involved.

He would want as much cross promotion as he can get if he would say yes. I'm just not sure Dana would give him Ronda or Conner outside of a token apperance and delivering a quick bump.

Oh, for sure, Vince would negociate. To me, it is a no brainer though, but companies benefit.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Vince is a winner tonight IMO. He got plugs in front of some potentially large PPV audience.

His boy won and most importantly is healthy.

Heyman has more fuel for promos in the Summerslam build

Feel bad for Orton. He was never going over, but there goes any chance of even making it look competitive. Going to be a total squash.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Like I said, if Vince.says no, he loses Brock forever.

People thought he lost Brock forever back in 2004/05 with the lawsuits and non-compete clauses.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The one big hurdle for Vince(or should be one) is that Brock is a part timer who is basically an unstoppable force in the WWE.

At some point though he has to give the rub to someone and that rub loses some legit steam if Brock loses or gets seriously hurt in a UFC fight. Why Vince would want something much more substantial than plugs for Brock to fight more. He has to much invested in Brock's current image to lose that outside of his ring.

That is a nightmare scenario for Vince IMO. Brock loses to someone ranked #5 or so before he got a chance to pass the rub to a future star.

He would of basically flushed Taker's Mania streak down the toliet.

 

[Blitzkrug]

streak's already been flushed imo.

 

[Emperoreddy]

streak's already been flushed imo.

There is still time to pass it off at Mania.

I still hate Vince did that. He flushed a money streak match in Cena/Taker down the drain. They have to do a career vs career match (if Taker even comes back)

 

[M.C.G. 31]

"One more question then I'm going to drink a Coors Light... BUD LIGHT!" - Brock Lesnar

 

[M.C.G. 31]

"I'm reaching the big 40 here... let's be realistic about it (fighting in the UFC)."

 

[M.C.G. 31]

"I had 12 inches of my colon removed and jumped back into the octagon 3 months later. Who does that ****?"

"I wanted to finish the fight but the guy's got a coconut head."

Brock just seemed to be having a great time during the press conference.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

there is no way this is Lesnars last UFC fight, he just beat the no.8 heavyweight in the world after 5 years off, my guess is he fights cain or overeem next, he dominated 2 out of 3 rounds and Hunt did not tag him with those hands much at all

 

[KaseMeOutside]

if wwe had any brains lesnar would be champion...the title means nothing on anyone but him, as long as he's active

 

[Acallabeth]

Yeah, with Lesnar resuming his MMA career, it looks like maybe the best option was him not dropping the title at WM31, so he would have a long reign like in the old times. Hindsight, hindsight.
What's with RAW? WIll Lesnar or just Heyman open?

 

[NYRKING30]

BROCK ****ING LESNAR!!! I know it won't happen and he's scheduled for Smackdown next week but Vince really should parade Brock out Monday on Raw. This cross promotion thing can really turn out well for both parties. WWE basically already has a future unidentified megastar once they find the right guy for the Brock rub. One more thing, If (really more like when) Brock fights in the UFC again wouldn't Dana and company basically owe Vince 2 spots in the future? One was tonight and the next potential fight down the road.

I was obviously rooting for Lesnar but I thought he was going to lose just bc of the long layoff and extremely limited training camp that he had. Was he perfect? No. Makes you think what the hell this guy can do now fully and truly at 100% with a full time training camp. There simply will never be another. #ImmortalizeBrock

 

[Shoalzie]

First time ordering a UFC card last night...not necessarily worth the money but that was a good card. The women's division continues to be topsy-turvy. Aldo-Edgar was the best fight by far.

Brock is such a scary athlete with how agile and quick he is at his size. He's a rhino in shorts. I couldn't help but think with him and Hunt in the ring...I was fantasy booking a match between Brock and Samoa Joe.

I'm mixed on him back in WWE. He's clearly the most dominant athlete in the company but you have to suspend disbelief with that sport. Part of me is of the belief that he should just stick with UFC where can use his strength and brutality.

He sticks out like a sore thumb in WWE because of his obvious physical dominance. You can't really book him to lose. I can't watch a match with him and think the other guy can beat him.

How long could you last in the ring/octagon with Brock Lesnar?

I hope I could make it 10 seconds

Those extremes...
It's a fair question for a lightweight jabroni, but, honestly, there's no reason to speak like Brock Lesnar annihilated UFC HW champion or something like that. He's a wrestler whose style consists of sloppy punches, sloppy (yeah, very quick and powerful, but still sloppy) takedowns and blanket game on the ground. Not every opponent of his will be a slow, short 42 old puncher with no wrestling or ground game.
