Junior Dos Santos and Brock Lesnar announced as TUF 13 coaches
Posted on January 11, 2011, 05:13 PM by Daniel CassidySpeaking during Fight for the Troops 2 Media Conference Call, UFC President Dana White has officially announced the coaches for the 13th season of the Ultimate Fighter. The coaches will be the former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, and the current #1 contender Junior "Cigano" Dos Santos.
With his announcement, Dana White ended months of speculations around the identity of coaches. Names such as Wanderlei Silva, Frank Mir, Chael Sonnen, Brian Stann, Urijah Faber and Miguel Torres have been all thrown into the mix, ahead of what is expected as to be one of the most interesting seasons in the history of TUF franchise.
Dos Santos comes into his role as a coach with an excellent camp behind him in Black House, no doubt able to help out similarly to his team mate Minotauro Nogueira's time as a coach on TUF 8. The up and coming heavyeight burst onto the scen last year, destroying Fabricio Werdum with an uppercut in just 80 seconds. Cigano is 6-0 in the UFC and 12-1 overall. He has currently defeated some top names like Mirko Cro Cop, Gabriel Gonzaga and Roy Nelson.
As for Lesnar, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion is currently 5-2 in his Mixed Martial Arts campaign, and 4-2 in UFC overall. Lesnar victimized opponents such as Heath Herring, Frank Mir, Randy Couture and Shane Carwin, before losing to Cain Velasquez via TKO at UFC 121. Lesnar currently trains at his own DeathClutch Gym, also using the services of the legendary coach Erik Paulson of CSW Training Center.
White also added that the fight between the two will take place sometime in June. An event is rumoured for June 11, 2011 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, exactly one week after the June 4th TUF 13 finale. White added that the fight won't be for the Interim Heavyweight title, but instead the winner will get the next shot at Champion Cain Velasquez.

Im a fan of Brock and i hate this... pretty dumb
Gotta agree. I dont rele see this being the typically TUF but that could be a cool thing. I dont see either of these fighters as coach material but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I like this match ups...gonna answer a lot of questions like JDS's TDD...great match up but idk if these guys will make entertaining coaches on TUF
If Lesnar is nothing else, he'll be entertaining. He used to be an actor!
wow didnt see that coming. jds will have a great camp behind him. wonder who brock will have and what he can teach.
I'm pretty sure brock will bring Kurt Angle, Triple H, Disco Inferno, Norman Smiley, El-Dandy etc. I expect some quality fighters being molded in this season.
Oh...I also forgot his fashion coach Alex Wright!
Who's el-dandy?
Look him up...he's an underground classic lol!
I just don't understand how he gets a shot at number 1 contender already after gettin dismantled by Valasquez do they that if he manages to lay n pray JDS that makes him ready for the rematch? lets be serious he really needed to work his way back to the top.
@jackthedrinker
I'm a fan of JDS and I feel sorry him every hardcore fan knows JDS should have got a title shot before Cain and he would have if Cain wasn't Mexican. He should be fighting for the Interim title next but once again the UFC are screwing him over. I'm also a fan of Brock but he is a victim of his own success. The UFC only intention with Brock is to make money off him before he get's old or changes his mind about mma, people hate on Brock but he's still a BIT of a rookie and quite brave taking the fights he has, how many newcomers to mma face people like MIr and Randy so quickly. the only good thing for Brock is he'll have some time to improve his game before he fights JDS, but i doubt it'll be enough.
not sure i agree he should have had a title shot before Cain. JDS has established himself as a brutal striker but Cain was known to be and had shown to be a better all round fighter, balance of technical and powerful. More champion material.
Student:Coach brock, how do you perform a peruvian necktie??
Brock: I don' ****in'know
Student: Coach junior, what's the best boxing strategy to fend off a wrestler??
Junior dos santos: a vida da esposa é terminada pela faca
I am sure that true MMA fans will chose this over the SF tournament... I am being sarcastic of course...
I WONT MISS THAT FOR ANY UFC EVENT EVER!! ITS GONNA BE AWWWWWSOME!!!
Brock better put that hunting rifle and leave those innocent Deers alone! It's time to bring Freddie Roach into the MIX! God help your stand up!!!!
I don't know. I think a hunting rifle might be required for him to beat JDS on the feet.
3:27 min. = TOTAL FAIL. LOL!
is it just me or did dana say that santos had just come of a 5 round war with big country. now if im not mistaken it was 3 rounds and 5 rounds is only for title fights. the ufc president getting that wrong is shameful.
Shameful to who specifically?
@jack. get ready for your boy to get smashed. lesnar cant handle anyone with decent striking and santos will put him away. brock got away with the shane victory but it was obvious he would get destroyed by cain and it will happen again against santos.(and im not just saying it cos it happened, i picked cain rd 2 tko/ko against brock).
DANA IS A VERY CLEVER GUY. WHAT IS TRYING TO DO IS HOPING DOS SANTOS WINS AGAINST CAIN VELAZQUEZ SO HE COULD FIGHT BROCK FOR THE BELT.LIKE THAT WOULD MAKE BROCK TO RENEW HIS CONTRACT.

twice as clever?
If your a fan of brock then you must be new to MMA
Totally agree with you, the interviewer really has no business doing any kind of interview if he is going to let Dana bully him like that.
Wow seems like DW is trying to get Lesnar out of the UFC. Can u say another R1 OK. I was really hoping DW was going to make one of the stars of the WEC coaches on TUF :(
Being the number 1 draw in MMA gets you perks. Just the way business works.
Its actually very typical for the former champ to participate in an Interim match-up...
While we all know he has holes in his game, to say if he wins he doesnt deserve the rematch with Cain is silly. Obviously if he can beat the number one contender, then he has a case for a title shot.
can't agree, IF he beats JDS it'll be by lay n pray baby GnP til the ref decides he's hit him enuff. that won't change the fact the cain will outwrestle him again keep it standing and beat his face in. if he can beat JDS without using just wrestling then he'd have improved enough. JDS and cain are 2 totally different fighters. I honestly don't think Lesnar will be able to take JDS down like that anyways though
so what your trying to say is brock only deserves a rematch with cain if he beats jds without using his wrestling. sorry but thats just dumb if brock can beat the number 1 contender the he probaly desrerves the rematch
so you're telling me that if he can lay on top of yet another fighter and beat em like he did his other wins that makes him ready for cain? it didn't make him ready last time... y would it this time? he needs to work his way up from the bottom like every1 else in the business did and this will give him time to work on his striking game.
I'm not a huge fan of Lesnar fighting Velasquez again, but I think considering the circumstances in the division, there really isn't a better way they can go at this point.
KO*
JDS will have the Nogs etc in his team so that will be cool to see, as for Brock, we'll get a chance to really get a look into his mentality as a mixed martial artist. This is way more interesting than the other names thrown around for TUF especially lesnar-mir.
as expected Dana trying to hype Brock again!
Dos Santos is on a 6 fight win streak inside the UFC
while Brock is coming of a first round KO lost
giving him a fight for the #1 contender spot is an insult to JDS
and the fans, i wont bother watching TUF and i hope JDS KO Lesnar again!! to finally end that clown who dares to call himself an MMA fighter.
wow Didn't see that one coming, JDS will Destroy Brock First round Murder!
brock as a coach. he doesnt know enough about the game to be a coach and if he beats santos he will get a re-match with cain. thats stupid aswell. dana really does love brock.
Brock is Dana's cash cow. Dana wants to milk him before he kills him. It looks pathetic, how Brock gets another chance. No matter what DW says, the trues is that UFC HW divison is not that deep, there is noone to fight JDS. SF HW division is much deeper. DW had no choice but to put Brock agains JDS in order to beat SF HW Grand Prix. He could not stand that Cain beat Brock.
I really feel sorry for JDS, he is a good fighter and very underappreciated.
@Rigo, I dont think hes trying to hype Brock...normally interm belt goes to former champ n number one contender so that woulld b JDS vs Brock n also Nog is out Mir n Nelson r facing each other, Cro Cop n Schuab r fighting each other n Carwin is injured so Brock makes sense
@Rigo
Why isn't Brock an MMA fighter. What a load of bull. If you don't like him coz he rich or coz he can't take a punch or used to be a pro wrestler or you feel he gets special treatment COOL I can dig that I can understand that. But he is an MMA fighter really he's a fighter with great wrestling but no striking since when is this new in mma ?
jds asked for brock you idiot he said he didint want to wait for cain and wanted only a top guy brock mir carwin mir already fighting carwin hurt that leaves brok
Big friggen surprise to me but I guess they had no option. Brock is a former champ and needs to fight a top guy, and Dos Santos and Carwin are the only healthy ones. I thought it would be Carwin vs Dos Santos, but Carwin is coming off a loss and is not a former champ like Brock. And a Carwin vs Brock rematch would be Carwins second fight in a row against Brock. Unfortunately for the UFC there HW division ins't as deep as their LW divison, but these guys are all going to fight each other regardless.
I still wonder though if the Strikeforce HW Grandprix played any part in the UFC decision making. I think your foolish if you don't consider it a possibily. Brocks a huge draw, JDS is the #1 contender, and its a fresh matchup, and now the hype gets stretched throughout the entire course of TUF.
SF was one of the main reasons. DW can't stand any competition.
yeah, look at shields!
there is no interim belt, the winner of JDS vs Brock will fight Cain next for the HW title. Rumours about the interim fight were not true, it's simply a number one contender fight!!
Exactly, its common sense... Instead people get all hurt inside and spout mindless propaganda.
why is JDS waiting through all the filming of TUF and everything when he wont wait for Cain? seems kind of weird. but this fight is extremly predictable... JDS by brutal knockout.
he'll be waiting for a fight but not for a paycheck
do you raise roosters?
This is really big news! Lesnar vs JDS will be a fun fight; the winner will definitely be a legit contender.
This season will be very interesting to watch; with Brock's disdain for cameras there will be fireworks for sure! I'm also not sure how happy Brock will be spending 6 weeks in Vegas, prepare for some grouchiness from him towards everyone in general...
JDS was already the number one contender
Yes, but beating lesnar is a far better way to assert yourself as a contender as opposed to beating big country in a 3 round decision. As for brock, if he beats JDS, a rematch with Cain will then definitely have credibility.
Lesnar doesn't deserve to fight for the #1 contender. This is just DW's keep the money cow going.
Agree with Prince. He was already supposed to fight for the title and now they are throwing him in TUF with a guy coming off a loss. Different people get different treatment.
No, ur both wrong... JDS insisted on taking a fight in the mean time.
Okay, so give him someone besides Brock.
@Stiks
Whoelse??? Cant be Mir, Nog, Nelson, Carwin, Cro Cop, Schaub or Cain....only one left is Lesnar and anyways if JDS loses to Lesnar (which I doubt) would he hve stood a chance against Cain?? most likely not
Oic, so really its just a personal bias against Lesnar... Gotcha.
Not at all. He just lost the championship.
Did not see this coming.... Brock is new to mma and Dos Santos doesnt speak the greatest english. I wonder how good of coaches they will be.
yes brock is new to mma but he is great at wrestling so he can help the guys with that area, don't forget it isn't like only lesnar and dos santos are going to coach thease guys by themselfs every coach brings atleast two guys with them and on some seasons more.
I'm not liking this move at all. A loser verses a winner at this point? Well Brock this will further distance yourself from the octagon after your lastest match with Santos.
most random ass choices
i'm glad brock is doing the show but if he fights dos santos at the end of the season it will be hard to see how he can win.
Hopefully Brock will learn some stand up from his team
brock better have learned how to spar with head gear and no take downs or its gonna be a short night when he fights JDS
W,W,WHHAAAAAAT? Who the, what the, how the...!?!.*??!!!?
Sure, I guess...
is there a video of the press conference as it doesn't show one on the ufc website for me
This really surprises me, I doubt White thinks Brock will beat Dos Santos so this is a bit like using him for a big PR stunt one last time before he retires. Personally I really thought they would give Lesnar someone like Big Nog, big name that is way past his prime.
JDS vs Brock.......Interesting
This is dana white setting his cash cow back to dollar making for the ufc. If they really wanted Brock to succeed they woudnt rush him to fight the top guys like that, and crazy strikers like JDS.
Another possible humiliation for one dimensional Brock but who cares, dana's getting richer.
Give this guy time to become a decent MMA fighter for christ sake !!!
Yup. I'm sure he is banking on the fact that EVERYONE is going to watch TUF now.... It's bull.
Yep, Dana does not give a shit about Brock, he wants him to produce more cash, maybe for the last time because Brock might just quit. Sorry for Cain and JDS, they are not big cash cows, they real fighters. Cain vs JDS would not make as much money as Brock vs Cain II or Brock vs JDS. Maybe, JDS and Cain would leave the UFC and go to the SF to fight Fedor, Overeem, Barnett and Werdum. Werdum vs JDS II would be an interesting, I beat Werdum wants this revenge.
that makes no sense at all, cant wait what has Dana to say about it, putting the no1 contender against a man that got beatten up so badly in his last fight and may i say in the Carwin fight too, when Fitch lost to gsp the ufc putted him on the undercard and still today they don't give him the oportunity to fight for the title. two cups, two measures, doesn't seem right to me.
Don't weak this fanboys. Hes right, this makes no sense. Brock lost, he should have to work his arse off to get back to the #1 contender spot.
you cannot compare fitch to lesnar, lesnar is the former title holder-fitch lost attempting to even get it. its a whole other world. if the champ loses the title he normally comes back and fights the #3-2 guy.
i'm no lesnar fan, and i expect JDS to break his hands bad from the beating he is gonna put on brock with them. but titles are titles and he did beat Carwin, regardless of how good carwin did in the first he lost in the second. Lesnar has a defense of the title under his belt, which is something you have to respect.
I agree too. purinho and Stiks both right.
Don't jump on me, but an mma newcomer & and a non English speaker, sounds like a weird pick for 2 men to COACH fighters. Will it still bring in huge ratings?, yes, will I still watch?, yes. I really look forward to the fight between them though, very interesting match up, two contrasting styles.
I think the UFC know that lesnar is bringing a lot of cash to them, they obviously don't wanna loose that money
i think lesnar is the guy who need to be coached,not to be coach himself, what his he gonna learn to these guys, how to strike?hahaha
Haha he can strike. He just doesn't like when people strike him.
No he can't strike. Watch him, he lands MAYBE 10% of his strikes. It just happens that when he does land it hurts.
No I didn't say he was good at it ICP haha.
He broke Heath Herrings orbital bone with one strike so a small percentage doesn't matter to much when he has that much power
It does matter because when someone's percentages are that low it means that the strikes they do land are mostly lucky. It means he is not a skilled striker and he can be taken advantage of there like he was by Carwin and by Cain. It is a huge hole in his game that can be exploited.
This is Dana's way to make sure that JDS will still get the Velasquez fight and that's pretty lame even though JDS is one of my favourite fighters.
thats sooo ****ing lame. Ewww
this is one of the worst decision dana has ever made. Gray and Frankie would have made so much more sense than this. What exactly has brock done to deserve to get an immediate shot at the title after being destroyed by cain?! Also wat the hell does brock have to offer to the fighters...most of them have better BJJ&striking; and more experience than him
This decision was based for ratings and not for the fans
Why do people keep weaking statements like this?
i agree that ratings were probably a big reason why they choose brock, but that isn't any thing new, that has been a big part in all of the coaches that have done the show, look at the first season they had the 2 most well known fighters.
this is a very smart thing to do, cause this will bring a much bigger audience and get alot of new fans which is good not only for the ufc but mma as a sport.
and lesnar and dos santos will have guys that train them aswell.
plus gray and frankie aren't really that exciteing outside of the cage.
Because a lot of people are HUGE Lesner fans.
Wow I see that now haha.
God I love sarcasm. I'm not being sarcastic.
I Agree With All The Cash Cow Comments But At The Same Time The UFC Is A BUSINESS!!!
Now how long do we have to wait for Cain to fight? I know he's injured but this seems even longer an ordeal than possible. So they film the season for eight weeks, wait for it to air, wait for the Brock-JDS fight to happen, wait for any potential injuries to heal, etc. and we get to see Cain fight in a year? Maybe more?
Not to mention that this decision is just pure crap, an asshole who hates the camera and doesn't know anything about MMA versus a guy who can't speak English and is far too shy and nice to ever make a strong character impact on people watching the show. The trend of stupid ass choices made by the UFC continues. I can think of 10 different pairings that would make more sense and be better for TV. I just don't get this.
This will be interesting because we havent seen coaches that are not experienced to coaching before.
LOL Too drunk to comment XD
Once again the UFC giving Brock Lesnar special treatment...i mean c'mon! a contendership fight? after the onesided beatdown in his last fight with Velasquez?
Uh huh. They obviously don't have faith that he can work his way up.
he only just lost his championship, he deserves the interim fight as much as anyone else. if jds is really the true contender then he'll beat brock.
Their Milkin Brock for alll he is worth. If he wins it sets up a HUGE PPV, if he loses his run is most likely over, and it hype Dos Santos even more. Props to Brock tho for taking on the most dangerous HW besides the champ.
Edgar vs Maynard 3 for coaches, season ends in june. would of been a good time frame and much better coaches and better storyline for the show.
DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE CARE IF YOU DONT WATCH????STFU!!!
AND THATS ONE LITTLE DUMBASS OPINION...BUT ITS OK U WONT HURT THERE RATINGS MILLIONS WILL STILL WATCH HAHA WHAT AN IDIOT THINKING PEOPLE CARE LMAO
I WILL USE CAPS TO FIT IN!!!!!
Is Cain really sidelined for THAT long?!?!? I hope he is coming back. Besides that, this is a ridiculous choice. It has all been said above so I won't reiterate in detail.
i think this wil actually make for a great season of TUF however a 285 pound Lesnar teaching welterweights just baffles me
Welter weight is the hugging division, and NOONE hugs like brock.
Brock will teach the fighters on how to whip a rope
Worst picks ever!!! I remember when Helwani was asking Dana about the potential coaches for TUF13 he was constantly saying : " I'm thinking about a lot of options, we have so many awesome picks to choose from... etc etc...."
After all this thinking and inner reflection he did, that was the best he could come up with? JDS who is a promising fighter but he hasn't proven himself yet, and ****ing C0ck Lesnar who is as relevant to MMA as Holywood is to real life.
Worst Tuf season EVER!!!
I like it !
JDS has alot to gain from TUF its gonna be the biggest season ever
and will be a huge PPV draw against Brock. They are gonna get paid !
Plus JDS will gain alot more poularity going into the Brock match and if he wins, the Cain vs JDS will be even bigger ! If Brock wins he deserves his rematch.
This will be awesome but wtf is brock lesnar doing as a COACH... lol HE JUST STARTED MMA! WTF LOL Really UFC... really?
Was I the only one under the impression that Junior Dos Santos speaks absolutely no English? Also, Brock Leonard doesn't know anything about MMA all he;s going to teach them is how to block punches by using their heads. It should be great can't wait.
i think you are the only one under the impression that Dos Santos speaks no english.
Have you not heard his interviews? they are in English and it's not bad, sure his english is not perfect but it's improving well.
maybe they should do TUF Collegiate Wrestlers vs Brazilians. I dont see how either of them can coach. at least the fighters can brng in their coaches to make a gameplan and teach the fighters a bit. Lesnar is gonna have a hard time getting his fighters to respect him
Its gona be interesting fight. Lesnar dosent now MMA that well how he gona train people
One of Lesnar's Fighters: Ok coach whats the strategy?
Brock: Take him down
Fighter: What if I can't?
Lesnar: Do what I do run away and cover up till either the rounds over or he beats you within a inch of your life.
Nice job at picking Coaches Dana... I usually dont have a promblem with him but this is all about ratings for the show not the fight itself. F'n stupid.
I think JDS and Carwin would have made better coaches, but I will certainly tune in to see this one - I can't imagine Lesnar on TUF
hell yeah i get to see brock get his ass whooped again,hes gonna get killed in that ring fighting jds.
As much as I agree that Brock sucks, he does have good wrestling and will try to use it. We haven't seen JDS against a good wrestler yet so it is hard to tell what will happen. Brock will almost certainly get a take down at some point. Unless JDS gets a very early KO or stoppage we will see what his ground game is like.
i had no idea they both signed with Pride
brock is a big pussy he dont belong in he ufc, jds has way more skills than brocks fake ass
brock is the one who needs coaching. dana just wants his name to bring in more cash. cmon get real. he doesnt deserve to fight number 1 contender spot after that loss.
once again dana white gives lesnar ANOTHER chance this is ****in bullshit.
TUF sells with names like Lesnar so thats why he is there. Carwin could have make more sense
it's obvious that ufc is trying to take away some hype from strikeforce gp, with brock as a ''biggest draw in mma''.... so if dana white says one more time that SF is the minor leagues, he is full of shit... he wouldn't do this if he realy belived that....
i happy with this... both guys dont really have the coaching experience but JDS training staff will be sick!!
muay thai - Anderson Silva, jose aldo
Grappling - Noguiera Brothers
other stand up - lyoto machida
cant argue with that
I'm sorry, this is pretty Retarded. Just stupid. Brock is going to teach people how to duck and cover? And Junior is going to teach them how to throw bombs around. Great. Obviously Dana doesn't care about giving these new TUF cast anything to learn. Sad. I'm sure some of the contestants will actually teach Brock a thing or two. This is purely for money.
am i the only person that thinks brock has at least a chance of beating jds given if the fight stays in the feet brock is screwed but i would be willing to bet that brock could push jds against the fence and beat him up or take him down. also while jds is a crisper striker than cain he lacks the wrestling ability and is not a hurricane like cain. brock could pull a big country and just walk forward and cover up jds didnt seem to have a answer for that
I don't see Brock winning against the fence with JDS because I think his Muay Thai clinch game would prevail there but if Brock gets on top of JDS he could be in serious trouble. Brock is a one dimensional fighter with a lot of holes and he isn't an amazing wrestler but is is a good wrestler and I don't think that JDS is. I think it is going to come down to two things. 1; Is JDS's BJJ good enough to nullify or beat Brock from the bottom? 2; Is JDS's take down defence good enough to keep the fight standing long enough to make Brock turtle up and get a stoppage?
brock will get destroyed once again, santos stand up is the best in ufc right now
Bad move. They just milking their cash cow, but losing respectability in the process. Coaches should have experience. Brock is still pretty green to MMA even if he has been in at the deep end. Hard to teach what you don't know.
Wow, ive seen borderline racist comments in regards to the coaching of TUF when talking about JDS... Apart from that, you clearly know little about MMA. JDS has a camp known as Black House which is composed of coaches and fighters such as Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, the Nogs, etc., if you think this guys don't have anything to teach you're clearly in the wrong sport... Furthermore, I would like to remind everyone big nog did a excelent coaching job on TUF and the result is Ryan Bader posing himself as an undefeated tittle contender... So, go learn a bit more of MMA before you start talking trash. Either that or go back to watching WWE and discussing the dream match that would be Brock against the Undertaker...
Now we will all learn how to do the F 5, Thanks ultimate fighter!
Should be exciting fight... as for Tuf it's hard too say if it'l be exciting or not... Brock might not deserve this but if defeat's Jds der's no reason why i guess....
I was a bit shocked when I heard of this.
I knew that Dana wanted Brock to do TUF, and I believe he was thinking Frank Mir at first. Fan reaction against another bout between them seemed to make Dana reconsider.
Then I thought they would use TUF to showcase the WEC newcomers, but with Frankie and Gray set for a rematch, and Pettis in waiting, and Dominick Cruz injured--and Faber not yet available for a title match--I wondered what was next.
I thought a Carwin vs. Lesnar might be likely if Lesnar resurfaced.
Then there was the problem of JDS wanting to fight soon, and being unwilling and financially unable to wait.
So I suppose it makes sense from a marketing point of view.
1. Lesnar draws in ratings and dollars for the fight and the show
2. JDS gets a paycheck and PPV revenue from the fight
3. JDS gets much needed exposure to audiences
4. I am guessing TUF will showcase HWs and the UFC needs new blood badly in this weight class
Is this fair to JDS, no, but Cain getting injured is a bad break, it happens. Is it the best matchup--maybe not, but this is what happens when you have a shallow HW division.
Is Brock experienced enough to coach--no, but he will bring a camp of coaches to help, as will JDS. If TUF depended only upon long-time veterans who are contenders, then they would never find coaches. TUF was always first and foremost a marketing gimmick.
I hope Brock gets back in the gym and studies his standup.
I like Brock and I like Dana. With that being said I would have like to punched dana in face after listening to this. "June is a long way away" "yea" "Yea" Prick. Then to here him tell that guy that was the dumbest thing he has ever heard him say...prick. Brock has no chin and no patience for anyone. Dos cant speak english and has heavy hands. This is maybe the dumbest match up to get brock back in the mix. I call it Brock KOed in the first 2 min. Should have used Mir and Brock. Atleast there would have been more shit talking. These guys are gonna need a translator to get any crap talking started.
I personal think this is a great ideal from UFC organization to build and pick a new commer HW fighter to compete with Strikeforce
Heavyweight Tournament.
It'll be an exciting fight and draw a lot of fans all over the world to see Brock Lesnar once again to rebound his loss
and just think if JDS defeat Brock and already defeated Werdum the one deated Fedor one of the most finest HW fighter in the world,
so if JDS become HW fighter in the world and if Brock Lesnar be able to defeat JDS hes rebound
from loss and remain the HW Champion in the world with no questionable about his ability.IMO
lesnar is a joke, he should go back to that fake ass crap they call pro wrestling. he got stomped by a guy who weighed 50 pounds less than him. and managed to make an even bigger ass of himself with that ****ing balarina act he done.
I really do hope you're a troll, because if what you post on this website is how you really feel, then I hope all the corners everywhere you go are rounded so you don't hurt yourself.
I hope Dos Santos beats his ass!!
Not a huge Lesnar fan, but he actually deserves the fight with JDS more than anyone else, except Cain, of course. Should make for an interesting TUF season.
Terrible choices.
no no no no why should lesnar get a shot after 1 fight victory like mir submitted kongo he didnt get one franklin won after he lost he never got one why does brock im a fan of lesnar but to early
I think they were set on using the HeavyWeight division for the show this year - otherwise it makes zero sense to me.
Who else does the UFC really have other than the champ in that division ..Mir?, Carwin?, or Nogeria?
I think Junior would be a good coach but the language barrier may be too much ... Lesnar just seems like too much of an impatient & high tempered person to be a good coach IMO.
I just hope they teach Brock how to take punches because JDS is going to give lot of them.
I dont know how I feel about this. I wouldnt mind seeing Brock get KOd tho. JDS does have very good takedown defense and if he keeps it on the feet he will without a question KO Brock.
Dana smells money. He knows Brock doesn't have a lot of fight left in him (seeing on how he is all ready finically stable) so he's gonna make his money off Brock. Dana's going to get the ratings out of tough because of Brocks name, and then Brock will probably Lay n Pray Jr. This will do two things for Dana 1. Show Dos Santos that he needs better take down defense in order to beat Cain 2. Make even more money with another Pay-Per-View headlined by Brock. This is not cool Dana not cool.
not to offend any fanboys out there but lets get serious.
brock was danas cashcow and he wants him back being the champion.
JDS vs Cain woulda been a striking war, one which JDS wouldve one easily.
JDS vs Brock will be a lay and pray/tko victory for brock.
Brock lost to Cain because he couldnt avoid striking with him. He couldnt hold him down therefore he had no choice but to strike with him. Hes going to have no problem holding JDS down.
That being said, i like all three of these fighters so i dont care who wins.
Should be interesting to see how JDS does against a powerful wrestler and funny to see Brock's reaction to getting hit in the face by a devastating puncher
at the time 5:00 dana says jds was in a five round war?
