UFC 121: LESNAR v/s VELASQUEZ

This Saturday night, 10PM Est; LIVE on PPV!!

Fightcard: http://www.ufc.com/event/UFC121#/fight

Main Card fights:
Lesnar v/s Velasquez - Cain by decision. He's tough, he's quick himself, punches hard, and has cardio for days! Cain has the footwork, wrestling abilility, and speed to avoid a Lesnar takedown, if he's paying attention. If he can stay from underneath Lesnar's size & power..... Cain wins!

Shields v/s Kampmann - Shields by TKO in R3. Jake, new to the UFC, defeated Dan Henderson in his last match, and Kampmann is no Dan Henderson.
Sanchez v/s Thiago - Thiago by submission in R2. Thiago is really, really good... anywhere the fight goes, he dominates Sanchez.
Ortiz v/s Hamill - Hamill by decision. Yaaawn! Hope Hamill wins.
Schaub v/s Gonzaga - Schaub by decision. Gonzaga has been a let down ever since KO'ing Crocop back in '07. Young gun Schaub takes the win.

 

I'm hoping Lesnar loses, but I always do, just hasn't worked out that way lately...... :-/

 

this card looks very promising...

 

Have you watched any Cain fights? He's got what it takes!

 

I havent. To be honest, I have not watched nearly as much UFC as i used to. partially because there really good cards have been few and far between, and partially because I've been to busy. I really do hope Cain can beat Lesnar.

 

I see you're in MN, and I think Brock lives & trains in MN. Why don't you just go over and kick his azz! Just make sure to have a friend video it though. And leave the truck running and parked in position for a quick get away!

 

I really want to see this fight. I think Cain is a very good fighter, but not sure he'll have what it takes to beat Lesnar. See what happens

 

I don't think there is any way that Cain vs. Lesnar is going the distance. Either Cain will knock the juggernaut out or he will get submitted. I think that Lesnar has so much power if he gets ahold of anyone he can win. Cain just needs to stay outside and not get over excited like Shane Carwin did.

Shields is good and will probably beat kampmann

I don't think there is any way that Thiago will win this fight. Sanchez has been sucking lately, but Thiago is only famous because of the lame early stopage with Kos.

I think hamil will win also, probably boring just like you think, but I think it will be a submission

Gonzaga is going to kick the S*$T out of Schaub. I think he is tired of loosing

 

Where all you MMA fans at?

Figured this would be stirring ya'll out of the woodwork.

 

I think this is as close to 50/50. At least, I don't think I am ready to make a call on this one.

 

yeah, I think he's up in the boonies somewhere. I think I have him on height, but he's got a couple pounds on me....

Fuck that, I'd just run him over WITH the truck! Still wouldn't hurt his ego or IQ tho......

 

i pretty much agree with you 100%, except i give sanchez a better chance against thiago.

i worry about the weight difference between cain and brock, but cain is an animal, and i think he could do what carwin couldnt.

 

If Cain can keep it standing I think he has a very good chance of beating Brock. I really don't think Brock is that good of a fighter...wrestler, yes, but complete mma fighter, not at all. He reminds me of the old "ground and pound" wrestlers from a few years ago. He definitely has raw power, which he uses very well to overwhelm and control his opponents in the ground. Either way, I'm excited to watch!

 

Brock

Brock proved he can take a punch from the best after coming off a near career ending illness. He is only getting better. In MMA anything can happen but I doubt it in this fight.

 

Main Card fights:
Lesnar v/s Velasquez - I hate to say it because I want brock to lose but I dont' see anyone beating him anytime soon, he is a freak of nature, and very athletic and getting better by the hour.

Shields v/s Kampmann - shields by lay and pray, but I am routing for kampmann to pull out a big upset.
Sanchez v/s Thiago - close call on this, if it is the old sanchez he takes it, if not thiago will get the decision.
Ortiz v/s Hamill - as much as I want this to be a exciting fight I think it will be a snooze fest with either one laying on top of the other for 3 rounds. hoping for tito to pull one out.
Schaub v/s Gonzaga - Schaub by decision. Gonzaga has been a let down ever since KO'ing Crocop back in '07. Young gun Schaub takes the win. I agree on this but as with the crocop fight dont' count out gonzaga.

Hoping this will be a good card. I would LOVE to see Lesnar get beaten, but I don't see it happening.

 

I really hope Shields get his ass beat.

 

I like Hamill, I think he's a genuine guy, unlike Ortiz who comes up with lame excuses after every fight. But I fear the snooze zzz's will be the theme of this fight.

Hoping Cain takes out Brock, but then again, if Brock wins, maybe they can finally get someone from outside of UFC to join the UFC HW division, such as Overeem or Fedor....Hell, part of me thinks that Arlovski might have a chance at beating Brock....

Hey Sanchez, hate Thiago, so maybe a double knockout will ensue....

 

Arlovski vs Lesnar would be an awesome fight...as long as AA doesn't take a shot to the chin otherwise it's over. Fedor vs Brock... Fedor by submission, probably an armbar from the guard, like he has done to many very good wrestlers like brock. I'd consider traveling to far away lands just to see that fight live!

I think Kampmann vs Shields fight has a good chance to be the best of the night. Shields will probably have Kampmann bloodied up pretty good, but Kampmann will fight to the end, maybe he'll score some unusual submission for the win.
