Watch the post fight press (thread on main page). I bet Derrick still has some classics for us.
Thanks Wild, that's exactly what I'll do while I'm drunkenly standing in front of the stove trying to cook a steak in a cast iron frying pan (oven and bbq are both broken at the same time).

DC has actually manhandled some big ass guys he ragdolled barnett.
I know.seen every fight
it is skill that tosses Barnett
his core is strong but it really is technique and speed that makes guys look so amateur
DC is 190 pounds of perfectly trained fighter

DC is a beast ....but those guys (AKA) are tightly connected to Victor Conte and Team "SNAC" ....

Conte has gone on record stating many martial artists he works with are on some sort of gear and is non detectable ...

skill
DC has yet to win a bout on Muscle or Size
yet he just beats guys up with skills and IQ
Here's the thing. DC's gameplans revolve around his threat of taking people down. This isn't a well guarded secret. The main reason his striking is as effective as it is, is because when guys go into the clinch with him they're preoccupied by his takedowns and don't watch for his dirty boxing. We've seen what happens when DC fights someone not at all worried about his wrestling, and it didn't go well for him.

None of this is to say that there isn't any way that DC can take Brock down, but I have no reason to believe Brock would be afraid of his wrestling, or even that he has a wrestling advantage. DC's wrestling is a higher level than Brock's but the size and strength he'll be giving up will throw a lot of that out the window. Those takedowns he landed tonight on Lewis flat out aren't going to work on Brock.

Cain wrecked Brock - DC is better then Cain ....

Lesnar is going to get wrecked once again if he dares stepping his candy ass in the Octagon with Black Fedor.

lol dc would beat the crap out of brock standing his striking is great,cain level great and DC is tough hell like cain the god(hallowed be thy name)
Dude, they gave CM Punk a second fight in
Essentially saying the ufc is gonna lose credibility by making fights this and dc Brock
But they gave CM Punk a second fight in the UFC after his abysmal first fight and they seem to be no worse for wear. I don't think it's the intrigue fights that are harming the UFC, I think it's a lot of other bullshit like over saturation and silly decisions like (almost) putting Sijara Eubanks in a main event of a New York City card. Even though it never happened it's not a positive reflection of the decision makers..........I think it was the immediate backlash of the fans that caused them to rethink their silly decision. Anyhow, it just goes to show that those in charge of making the important decisions for the UFC have kind of lost their way.

Dana went from 'absolutely no women in the UFC, it will never happen,' to putting Ronda in a fucking main event over Dan Henderson vs Lyoto Machida in her first ever UFC match against Liz Carmouche for fuck sakes. Now imagine boxing putting a woman's title fight as a headliner on a card over Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward because there was no belt at stake? Anyways, I might be rambling, but like I said, I'm drunk, and I have to cook my steak in the cast iron pan now.
