Heres the part I don't get...... Machida gets KO'd in 30 seconds by Shogun, and goes down to #2 in the rankings.
Carwin beats Brocks ass for all the first round, gasses and gets submitted.... and drops down to #6?
Opinions anybody? I'm thinking that Carwin put in a much better showing than Machida........
Carwin looked like a turtle on his back
People might be thinking his ground game could be suspect...wouldn't be suprised if Machida gets gun shy.Originally Posted by rob66679
Marquardt just might drop in ranking when he meets Palhares on the 15th.
True..... But thats after Brock looked like a turtle trying to pull his head back in his shell while backpeddling/running for the whole first round.
I guess the point is that Carwin looked a lot better than Machida IMHO... Much more competitive fight.... Carwin dominated until he got caught in a choke, very similar to the Sonnen/Silva fight IMHO.
Cog.... Good point about machida getting gun shy... Lot of guys are never the same after getting Ko'd hard..... specially guys like Machida that fight defence first and don't like getting hit......
Have a good weekend guys.
Guess we will be seeing a revision shortly in the heavyweight class.
cain brock werdum fedor jds.
probably.
Yep... Carwin exposed brocks's weakness, Cain followed the same plan and picked his shots better.
Brock doesn't like getting hit, thats 2 fights in a row now that he's literally turned his back and ran when he got hit.
IMHO thats the end of Brock Lesnar in MMA. Not many fighters can get beaten down like that and come back the same..... IMHO Brocks achilles has been exposed... If Brock can't take a guy down, he's ****ed.
Brock was supposedly the far superior wrestler too..... He couldn't take Carwin down, couldn't take Couture down, and Cain actually took him down.... And got back up.
I'm fukin lovin it lol...... Anybody still actually think Brock is superoir to Fedor?
Sherdog ranking came out just like I said.
1. cain 2. brock 3. werdum 4. fedor 5. jds.
What a joke - Lesnar at #2.
edit: Also Hardy above Nick Diaz. wtf

Thats what $$$ behind your promotor will do for ya.
I guess lesnar at #2 would be legit IF he was the #1 guy before losing to Cain.
Thats a ****in big if though....... Guys like what, 6-1? Guy with 7 fights the #1 in the world? Even after Carwin exposed him big time ( and Carwin drops to # 7?).
Oh well, looks like ol Brock's headed back to WWE anyways.......
