Chris Leben looks in great shape and brock has huge tits.
thats a good sign brock has been juicing
No that is a good sign that Brock has been concentrating on his upper-body strength...
If you look at photos of his Wrestard-Wrestling stuff, Lesnar was significantly more filled out. Watery roid-muscle. They all juice in Wretard-Wrestling, because their physique and their paycheck are directly linked. They also all juice because they're all injured all the time, and roids increase your body's ability to regenerate. If you look at Lesnar now, he's much much more dense. There's no reason to believe he juices now, or that he juiced before Wretard-Wrestling. The UFC doesn't protect fighters from screening, and they don't control testing anyway. Just look at the before and after photos, watch that video someone just uploaded of him doing Wretard-Wrestling (it's the only footage I've ever seen of him there), look at his pecks, he looks swollen with water. I would say that he is at his natural weight now.
It's strange how Lesnar is built. They are the same weight, and Lesnar is a couple inches taller... He looks 30lbs heavier.
He carries his muscle mass on his upperbody. Shanes just evened out
Shane is just softer to a degree. Lesnar carries more weight around his neck and shoulders, and he's really tone there, lean. Shane looks like a monster, but Lesnar is Conan The Barbarian.
Muscle is alot denser than fat, and Lesnar seems to have fat rolls on his back from the picture, it is likely that Carwin is more toned and denser. I know a few guys who used to train down the gym I went to and none were that big, but they worked with heavier weights than many big guys purely cos they had better muscle density and fitness. Even if Carwin don't get the early KO if he lasts into later rounds I think Lesnar will become a punch bag similar to Kimbo.
So it is your opinion that Carwin is more tone and well defined the Lesnar?
*twirling his finger around his ear*
whatever shoes lesnar usually wears seems to shoot him up in height. I dont see him having two inches on carwin.maybe that flat top throw on an inch but they look pretty even
he usually wears stilettos
Surprised at how pressured Brock looks. He almost started crying in Prime time too (when Carwin pointed out he hasn't been through adversity, unlike himself).
About the weight - Carwin has much bigger legs and a thicker core. Brock's back look almost anorectic in comparison. Rottweiler vs. Staffordshire Bull Terrier kinda.
I don't believe it's pressure at all. I believe it's emotion for having a second chance at what he does best. Grant it, he was almost forced to retire with that serious intestinal infection. This really humbled Brock. At least he is more respectful outside the cage..
Pressure? Haven't seen a hint of it. He's either indifferent, or he's smiling. Shane on the hand, has looked very somber.
Agreed. He's almost likeable now in interviews and stuff.
Still think it's pressure though. The Prime time cry segment struck me as a bully being humbled, not a humble guy being bullied.
Would love to be wrong though. A humbled Brock with a new outlook on martial arts and what it means is a worthy champion. No more pony rides on inferior opponents and talking shit in opponents bloodied, banged up face would certainly be a good start in winning over the MMA community.
Brock is finally picking on someone his own size lol.
Shit!!! That look of Carwin during the stare down, scared the crap out of me... Shane is thirsty for blood!
Im anxious for the George Sotiropoulos fight also... his technique is amazing...very understimated fighter...
You forgot another picture.

Hehe...it looks like miss Celeste wants a taste of "Sexyyama".... although it seems like she's saying "he has a nice ass" ...just a guess!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK
Carwin wins the staredown.
Carwin looks just as big as Lesnar to me. I think he may even be heavier. I saw one interview with Brock where he said he was only cutting 5 lbs for this fight. Apparently Carwin is hanging out around 280...
Ive got Carwin TKO or KO within 2 rounds
Look at the size of Carwin's ass compared to Brock. True power comes from the ass.
And from your expertise you can conclude that Carwin has a nice ass?
second pic Dana uh ! you guys shaking hands .lol
I can't believe Brock is the underdog in this fight! What am I missing here!?!?
