  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What about Travis Browne? Is he healed up yet? I really liked him until he blew out his knee and became a sitting duck for Bigfoot.
 
thanks for coming thru bottles. first time I heard that. I knew about the injury prior to him pulling out of the tourney but didn't know it went back that far

that would be a good fight to gauge where he stacks up in the hw division. if it were not for the recent history of events surrounding his drug test I'd have no doubt about him but it is my opinion that he's been juicing and that's what was part of his success in recent years. since getting caught, he was under the radar and had to make sure he was clean and his performance paid dearly for it. that is just my opinion and speculation. and for brown? he's relatively unknown. kind of risky if you ask me but would be a good win

I agree that it was a good fight until he blew his knee. I recall having browne winning until that point. bigfoot is good at capitalizing. I don't know the status of browne atm
 
I dont know if you guys know the point system but it is not just about heavy hitting. There is aggression , take downs, and control to name a few. Edgar in my opinion did more on all levels. But like I said it wasn't enough to win a belt.

Big foot is a joke- Velasquez walked right through him. He and most other heavyweights are no where near Cains level.

not just aggression alone. it's affective aggression and also damage

which their faces showed who was doing the damage

plus aldo stuffed 9, that's 9 takedowns from one of the best wrestlers in the ufc. I think he scored 2 total takedowns which aldo was able to pop back up from. I think it's bs that a takedown weighs so much in how a fight is scored. if so, defending a take down should warrant the same scoring as well as getting up from a takedown


I think cain will remain champ. only threats to his title is a big junior overhand right and Daniel cormier. one which he seems to have adjusted to and the other won't fight him nor he'd fight also
 
No problem, Sumo.

Big Foot is not a joke just because he got whooped by Cain. Anyone in the top 10 is a tough fight.
Seems like most of the top 10 guys are already tied up fights. Struve, Nelson and Hunt may be options. Is Carwin still injured, or retired or what?
 
Agree about Bigfoot

Yea, those three are good matches. All winnable AND losable fights though. carwin would be a great matchup. Gasses, former interim champ and big name.

Don't know what's up with him lately

You can't go by facial looks because some guys have more scar tissue than others. Also darker colored skinned individuals do not show bruises and cuts vs light skin people. Aldo scored like 4 hard leg kicks and then he was done. Did you see how many leg kicks Frankie landed? A lot! Aldo's left leg was pretty bruised up! Frankie also had a couple take downs, how many take downs did Aldo have?Basically Aldo had 4 good leg kicks, one upward kick that grazed Frankie's nose and a couple good jabs. Frankie had more leg kicks that landed, several take downs and was more active and controlled the pace. Aldo played defense the whole time.

Cain will be champ for a long time. No one can keep up with his pace.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree. Didn't u say Aldo won?


Only way to beat cain is to knock him out. If u cant do that, its gonna be a long night
