think it might be possible UFC could have bribed NAC to get brock his lisence?Honestly I'd give any HW a punchers chance against Arlovski these days.
More to your point though, I think with enough publicity and $$, yeah, I'd bet Dana could get that fight lisenced.
Edit: I'm loving the idea of Beastmode in the octagon the more I think about it.
Kone nailed it. Plus, Mir was a replacement opponent for Brock. Originally it was supposed to be Lesnar vs Mark Coleman
hmm..your username makes me curious.. no but seriously do they have any professional criteria for giving out license to fight?
Wrestling God, just like mePantheon of amateur wrestling gods. And pro wrestling gods. That's how.
JBL/JBG approved wrestling god.
Personally I think the UFC is still underground enough that bribes occur all the time. Licensing, missed weight, early medical releases, catch weight bout agreements. I think rules are bent and broken for money. Not trying to slander, just my opinion.think it might be possible UFC could have bribed NAC to get brock his lisence?
Thats right, I am mistaken.Heath Herring was the replacement for Mark Coleman, that was the fight after Mir
CM Punk is the one who shouldn't have been allowed to fight, no backround in anything, no fights and a soft ass body.....everyone knew what was gonna happen there
And Mir was a kangaroo-eating white boy. They dealt with that, too.He was a juiced white boy, they dealt with it
His striking was truly devastating but it was his submission skills that really terrified his foesCM Punk was a beast, he even showed off his excellent kicking technique on WWE TV. The commission had no choice but to let this animal get in the cage.
no, TS has a point. being "in sports" means nothing when it comes to mma - even if you have a wrestling background. if you don't know what you're doing yet in a cage fight you can get seriously hurt and brock was totally, totally unproven.I hate Brock as much as anyone, but youre talking about a guy who was a NCAA athlete and had been in sports his whole life.
so marshawn lynch could get a lisence to fight arlovski if he wanted?
That's not how it works. They don't give licenses based on looks.I hate Brock as much as anyone, but youre talking about a guy who was a NCAA athlete and had been in sports his whole life. Sure, he wasnt a fighters, but its not unbelievable that someone who looks like Lesnar gets a fight like that early on.
Can you imagine if he'd locked up that 'reverse armbar'?His striking was truly devastating but it was his submission skills that really terrified his foes
Right, the guy is like a young Jon Jones in there just making up his own techniquesCan you imagine if he'd locked up that 'reverse armbar'?
