UFC 200 sherbro bet

The more I think about this fight the crazier it seems. We are talking a FIVE YEAR retirement, taking on a legitimately top 10 ranked opponent. That is just so bonkers.

Has Brock, Hunto or Zuffa commented on how this booking came to fruition? Was Brock offered a few names and picked Hunt?

I'm honestly treating this as Brock just coming in for a monster payday.

He'll go in and go apeshit for a takedown (or in the standup like he did with Cain, maybe) and go out in a blaze of glory.

Of course, the advent of UFC 200 becoming available with McTapsTwice/Diaz falling out seemed like exactly the type of opportunity he couldn't pass up. He's going to make millions of dollars no matter what.

What I can't get my head around - I am assuming he would have gotten the same deal if he fought a less dangerous opponent. Only hardcore fans care about Hunto, the casuals who are now going to pay up are interested in Bork.

Who's idea was it to book him with a top 10 hitter? I'm dying to know!

While I'm not the biggest fan and don't think of him very highly at all as a fighter, I will admit he has balls of steel regardless of who's goofy idea it was lol

Oh definitely but has always been the case. He fought a former world champion in his second fight. Brock has to have the most absurd strength of schedule for your first 8 fights ever attempted in the history of the sport.

He literally went from 'I don't fight MMA' to Mir - Herring - Couture - Mir - Carwin - Cain - Overeem.

If it were a movie we would all say it was too far fetched to bother watching.

Feel pretty confident Hunt is going to knock him out in spooky fashion and this was ill advised.

Don't get me wrong, I like Mark Hunt and I am aware of him being a fan favorite and legend but I have been aware of Brock Lesnar since I was 7. Haaa.

Yeah, it is pretty ballsy on his part to fight Hunt out of all people. I would for sure pick Bigfoot Silva as a return fight. Haa.

How do you see Travis Brownie vs Cain Velasquez going?
 
Still your boy said:
Brock Lesnar will get finished in the first exchange.


Anybody who picks Brock isn't a real fan.

I hate when I find out that I'm not a real fan. And just when I manage to drink enough to forget someone has to remind me

HW is such a fucking jungle, I love it. Even when you look at fringe top 10 guys. It's not like I'd be shitting my pants in excitement to fight Black Beast or anything

I honestly have no idea, it could go a couple different ways.

Browne strikes me as a gifted offensive striker that has a lot of defensive lapses, but he has the durability to stay in the fight for a retardedly long time. AA absolutely beat the fuck out of him, landed his patented and extremely dangerous right hand multiple times, and it took forever for Browne to go out. AA hit him with everything and he not only didn't drop, but he almost came back and knocked him out. AA is also faster and hits a lot harder than Cain. Cain's striking defense is also complete ass, much like Browne's.

Cain might be forced to stand with Browne. Statistically Browne has really good TDD, and Cain will be wary of those fucking nasty elbows against the cage that he KO'd Barnett and Gonzaga with.

God. I hope you are right and Brownie wins. I don't want a boring ass pillow as my AV. Haaaa.

I feel bad for you liking Bigfoot, that motherfucker must get KO'd everytime he sneezes at this point.

Really tho even if he's not " your guy " you have to at the very least respect the fact he wanted Hunto...those are some massive

I want Browne to win so I can rub it in everyones face and say I told you so just like the Bisping/Rockhold fight. 99% of this forum hates him so the buttmad would be glorious.

That KO of Overeem is one of the most satisfying fights EVER
