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

[DenisSamson3]

Come on, the 'Murica thing was fake as ****. He did.it because people complained about him fighting out.of Canada.

Did Brock move to the US at an early age? If so, I think Bret Hull also had a similar situation. Always think of them as Americans but they were born in Canada.

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.

I was thinking the same thing. WWE says they are in the reality era though.

All I want now is to hear Heyman.

Brock is American, he just lives in Canada and decided to represent Canada for whatever reason. It caused a small controversy and, to me, his 'Murica thing yesterday was to address that.

ok, good for clarifying.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

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?

Neither of them.

 

[The Gongshow]

Lesnar for champ!

He looked pretty darn good for not fighting in the UFC since 2011. Looked dominant in rounds 1 and 3

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I agree with you guys. Lesnar should have been the Champion for '14 onwards. His last title run was one of my favorite things ever. I think you could have easily had a multiple year run for Lesnar with maybe a short run for Rollins somehow screwing Lesnar out of the belt. But there is no other man on the planet like Brock. His being the legit baddest man on the planet yet not having the title just exposes the business to such an extent, it's always unconsciously hard to take seriously.

I also think this is a big reason Roman never got over. You want to push him like Superman when you have the legit real life Superman who's better at everything in Brock in your company?

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.

Underwhelming sure but, if Jones keeps his damn nose clean it might have been a different story. And if they hadn't overhyped the 200 aspect of it I think we would of all considered it an above average UFC card?

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.

Vince definitely won but, I think he's genuinely scared about keeping Brock around... and happy.

Never fails.. Dana probably feels even less powerful against Brock than McGregor and that is saying something.

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

I hope I could make it 10 seconds

I think you could make it past 10 if you ran a little, LOL!

I wish he had both titles at the same time. That'd be seriously bad ass.

Exactly.. would be a dream to see. But I definitely think the UFC title is out of reach, Brock is still just too raw to beat enough of the top guys.

Lesnar looked to be in the best shape of his life and seems to be completely healthy for the first time in his professional athletic career.

My exact thoughts after his lil show on the scale at weigh-ins.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

For sure. Dude got the biggest purse in UFC history by $1.5-million for just showing up last night. He got paid $2.5-million and when all the money is counted from the show, it'll probably be upwards of $6 or $7-million.

 

[Deen]

It's anything but 'easy money'.

Come on.

I have an extra couple hundred today. Easy AF.

And without even feeling biased for being a Lesnar fan - he deserved a huge pay day. 5 years away, in the middle of a lucrative WWE contract coming back against a one trick pony yet very experienced opponent... pay the man well. If if they throw enough $ again I don't think he'll pass it up.

Are you on crack? Do you remember how bad it was when he was champ? We'd go months without the WWE title being mentioned, no appearances by Brock not even for a promo, and a lot of pointless build up matches because you knew the title was never in pay. Don't even get me started on those awful PPV's without a WWE title main event because it just wasn't one of Brock's 6 or so contracted appearances.

At least when you had a part timer like The Rock off doing movies as the champ he still cared enough about wrestling to cut promos, be a part of the show, and make surprise appearances. Even if he didn't show he had enough charisma to make people okay with not seeing the champ on a regular basis.

He was born in South Dakota from what I can tell.

I couldn't agree more.

A guy who shows up like....4-6 times a year shouldn't be champion. Sorry.

I don't care to be honest. It adds more prestige to the title that way. Having an appearance by the champ being a special event makes it more meaningful. Having the champ appear on TV every week and defend it every month really takes a lot of the luster out of it.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Brock Lesnar legitimizes the title.

It could have worked really well if WWE didn't act like the title didn't exist while Lesnar was gone, and instead had everyone vying for that next title shot since they were so rare.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

I wish there were more pro wrestlers like Brock Lesnar. He is what wrestling should be about.

That's exactly how it should have been booked. Ever match between the upper mid carders and established main eventers should have been hyped as a great way for so and so to establish himself as Lesnar's next challenger.

 

[Guardian17]

Lesnar looked really dominant last night.

The writing would just have to be really different. They tried to keep the writing the exact same while Lesnar was champ and it was dumb. They literally could have tried something unique and make it work.... but WWE writing is so ****ing bad.

And your example is PERFECT for a way to be unique. They could even develop a point system or a ranking system. Just something new where Raw matches matter and fans can really jump in and have fun with it.

But hey.. if you became a writer for WWE, all these awesome ideas would go to the ****ter because Vince would never let it happen. There have been multiple podcasts with former writers who admitted so.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I would never consider being a writer under Vince.

Triple H? Different story.

Who the **** is that geek in the middle with the annoying ass voice?

That "geek" took prime Anderson Silva to the limit.
