If Barnett wants a big payday against him he better start the shit talking now. Lol
those tweets are brought to you by zuffa
Or he could be talking about Hunt's shit talking before the fight.

Personally I thought Brock looked the same as before.
Think anyone with TDD will destroy him just like Cain and Overreem did.

Thought he'd go for more submissions to be honest, but I don't blame him for playing it a little safer.

He looked solid. Not great but solid. Certainly his takedowns and ground and pound are very good. The rest of his game needs work, but for a guy fighting for the first time in 5 years, against a legit top 10 heavyweight in the world I'd say Brock looked pretty good.
If he rededicated himself, and worked on more striking and bjj I could see Brock being a legit top 5 heavyweight. I don't ever see him beating Cain, but against any other heavyweight I'd give him a chance because if he gets them down, who has the ability to get Brock off of them?
Werdum would probably submit him. That ground and pound from a guy that big and strong is no joke though. Let's not forget that Hunt has a chin that most of these other guys don't have.

Don't know if anyone watches trailer park boys, but anytime Rothwell posts anything or is interviewed he reminds me so much of Ricky.

he really didnt talk much shit, and im sure rothwell knows how promotion goes..
The only other picking Brock before the Fight other than myself was Faras Zhabi. Unless you have competed in Sports at a high level, you have no idea what a BIG, ATHLETIC guy can do. Technique is great when all things are equal, but in Brock's case, they are not equal. He's bigger, stronger, faster, and more Athletic than most. If he can learn just a little technique, he will beat most, if not all.
