Lesnar is no Kimbo

So last night PPV didn’t want to sell me anything (error code PPV-168… does that mean I haven’t paid my bill? who knows…) so I found a free stream of the live fight on justin.tv and watched it there instead. I had been on hold for an hour with Rogers to try and deal with it before I gave up — I figure I earned watching it for free after making more than a good faith effort to get it the normal way.

As I expected, Lesnar destroyed Couture, and I assume he’ll hold onto this belt for a while, although it won’t surprise me if there’s a hiccup along the way as he’s still learning the sport. He did get cut, so maybe a scar, since we now know that chicks really do dig scars!

Yeah, stories like that make me miss modblogging.

Well, here’s a fight video… I’ll take down this entry when the video dies.

    that’s a cool article you linked to!
    Since I’m prone to view humans as, sophisticated but still, animals, I’d dare to say that women ‘dig’ scars as they’re an evidence that a given male is strong enough to fight, survive and heal, so there’s a very basic, biological reason for that.
    although this whole culture balast focused on the warrior/knight ethos probably helps, too.

    Somehow I doubt, however, that men’s ratings were unaffected by scarring.

    his weakness is jujitsu.. his next fight will definetely be against Noguiera ( watch noguiera vs sapp).. i think nog will hold his own and take one of lesnars limbs home…but hey lesnars a beast and i give him tons of credit for destroying herring and beating couture.

    Dammit, Shannon. What a Spoiler. I didn’t read Sherdog, Graciemag etc. and thought your blog would be spoiler-free. Now that…

    I wouldnt use the word destroyed. lol Couture obviouslt was out skilling him till he got KTFO. That being said it will be cool to finally see a HW that can really move around but i hope Nog subs him.

    I think a lot of people would disagree with the assertion that Couture was “out skilling him” — I think most would say that Couture lost the first round as well… Just survived it…

    And yeah, the next fight will be a lot more interesting, although Lesnar will definitely be doing nothing but BJJ until April… And he’s a fast learner and a hard worker, so I think he’s got a solid shot against Nog/Mir this time around.

    Id be very happy to see Lesnar beat the crap out of Mir. lol Really dont like that guy, but with Nogs history of taking huge beatings from huge guys and still winning i think Nogs gonna take that fight. Also im wondering about Brocks BJJ with all his muscle mass will he be able to do much of anything besides a guillotine.

    Did we watch the same vid? The skinny dude was all about getting some bear love from the big guy so they just snuggled with sporadic bouts of fisticuffs. :p

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
