Wrestling Roundtable #22 9/28/08 Part 2 - Brock Lesnar/Randy Couture

The panel continues our discussion of "The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar's Ultimate Fighting Championship career going forward from his first Octagon victory over "Texas Crazy Horse" Heath Herring on to his UFC Heavyweight Championship title shot against returning holder, the legendary "Natural" Randy Couture. Should this title fight be happening now or not? If not now, when? Why now or later? What are the other options? Where do other division fighters, such as Fabirico Wedrum, Frank Mir, Cheick Kongo, Gabriel Gonzaga, new UFC Hall Of Famer Mark Coleman, and interim champion Antonion Rogerio Noguiera fit in to the picture, if at all? What about current WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko or possibly returning Mirko Cro Cop? Is this Brock/Couture fight good for UFC or Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) in general? What are the risks? What at the pros & cons of different outcomes? Hosted by Eric Santamaria.

Will Eric have a new hairstyle when this stuff returns in a few months? I hope to God for his sake.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

I hope you stop being gay about my hair, jack off

Sorry dude, I can't. It's too distracting. The whole "shaved undercut/long on top" thing died about six-eight years ago. And you're not built enough to pull it off and make it look cool. Perhaps hit the gym, get a tan and it might work. Otherwise you don't look credible or serious enough for this roundtable thing to work.

[WrestlingRoundtable]

This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Go fuck yourself, faggot.

randy will school him on the art of mma, brock to tap out end of first or early in the second round

[LinkinSwordSlayer]

AND now on the update! Brock Lesnar defeats Randy ''The Natural'' Couture by 2nd round TKO! Brock Lesnar became the NEW UFC Heavyweight Champion! Which means Kurt Angle will be jumping ship from TNA to UFC. Congrats to Brock Lesnar. No other WWE wrestler can do what Brock did in the UFC other than possibly Kurt Angle.

[huggeis]

Hey guys other then kurt angle .There is one guy who can equally match with brock lesnar or even better . His name is Bill Goldberg

[rawisramsey]

LOL @ Lawrence in the last second about Tim Sylvia

"I want Brock to fight him and just kill him"

I wager Brock would knock that stupid fauxhawk off Sylvia's big retarded head.

[tnafan]

and now 8 months later brock lesnar is the undisputed ufc heavyweight champion by defeating frank mir.

[RandomMindz]

What I find amazing is that Bobby Lashley has just "bleed" an opponent in an MMA fight! Can hardly wait for him and Brock to square off

[RandomMindz]

If you get any former pro wrestler who also took REAL fighting back grounds it is EXPECTED they would do good. I expect Kurt Angle to win his first match, especially for the fact he is an olympic gold medalist. BlackMan has not wrestled in years so he ought to have trained in MMA for some time now.

What the WWE/TNA should do is hire more MMA based fighters to make things interesting.

[grayfoks]

Kurt Angle would do well. I think Steve Blackman would aswell, him and Shamrock seemed to always look "too good" for wrestling from a martial arts point of view.

There's no downside from a business standpoint, or even from a fan standpoint, with doing this fight now. Randy wins, he just continues to stockpile his legacy which immediately sells his "last" two fights (as if a Couture fight needs to be sold more). Brock wins, he'll never have a bigger fight, it sets up Lesnar/Noguiera for the Undisputed title and launches him more than anybody else could. It's Warrior/Hogan all over again. As long as Brock doesn't legally change him name to "Big Thing".
