Just watched the Nog vs Nelson card. Poor Nog, I don't like seeing him get smashed like this, he really should have retired some time ago. On the other hand, I do enjoy seeing Nelson win via right hand of doom.

Good to see Doomsday back as well, even though his testicles were reduced to a fine paste in that fight.

what y'all think gonna happen with that there browne v werdum fight?

I don't think Browne is particularly amazing at anything except that he's unusually quick and agile for a huge dude. It was also pretty impressive when he KOed Overeem after being kneed in half. Anyway he moves around a lot (not necessarily well, but a lot), strikes erratically but effectively, and is very difficult to take down. Werdum is likely the more technically proficient striker but Browne's hyperactive movement and varied attack might give him some trouble. Browne's last four fights in a row have all ended in variously ridiculous finishes so trying to predict the result is a waste of time. Most likely Werdum won't be able to take him down and he'll try to kickbox, while Browne dances around like a spastic throwing huge kicks, and somebody will win by stoppage and earn the right to be murdered by Velasquez. I hope Werdum gets a knockdown and then submits Browne with something unusual and cool.

I'm a dumb man and can't come up with a witty title for a card that features Bisping vs. an American solider.

Things to consider: Card is hella good, on a Wednesday, and features TUF Nation finalists that I'm not convinced anyone actually watched.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I'm loving those bundt cake recaps of fights I haven't watched in ages, keep them coming I say. As for Werdum Browne, I'm backing Browne, he's just got more power and a bit more varied striking and Werdum didn't look great on the feet against Big Nog. I don't really remember watching Browne on the ground so he prob hasn't been there for long and I don't think Werdum can take him down. Either one will be an easy win for Cain anyway.

Finally we have the absolute proof that Fedor was secretly always bad: his biggest rival has lost 19 straight fights to some extremely punchliney heavyweights, proving conclusively that Big Nog is garbage and always was.

Nah, Browne is a pretty good fighter, his kicks only really let him down on the Bigfoot fight. Him being bad was a meme for a while and he isn't amazing but he's a top 5 HW for sure, which isn't saying much I guess.

Browne isn't bad but Werdum is better than him. But it's a heavyweight fight so pick Browne by brutal KO and you'll probably be right.

I'm not sure you can say a fighter is better than the other if the most probable outcome in the fight is for the former to be knocked out.

No.

Travis Browne vs Cain Velasquez will be hilarious. Fabricio Werdum vs Cain Velasquez will be ordinary. So you already know what's going to happen.

Seriously, have you all ever competed in something (sport, game, dick waggering contest) where the opponent is so new, bizarre, bad, convention defying, or strange that you have no idea how to handle them? Browne has built a career off that. It's like fencing someone who suddenly starts swinging the handle end of the epee at you while hooting. What they do isn't necessarily skilled but you sure as gently caress don't know how to handle it.

yeah i dunno, i'd like to think that werdum could do decent countering and off his back.

browne would not be able to have a chance unless he could miraculously stay on his feet during scrambles

I think this is exactly what Werdum will do. I'm looking forward to him listening to some elbows.

I am fairly sure 4 years from now we're going to be swearing blind that THIS time Browne'll lose the belt, because Jesus Christ did you see his last 9 defences? Dude fights like he's having a seizure and it's just people keep blundering into those weird hits...

I'd give Browne a big advantage over any non-Velasquez wrestlers that are shorter than him and Werdum's going to end up with two right ears.

Yeah. Everyones results oriented so three ko's = destroyer of worlds but all we really know is that if you kill travis browne he will come back to life and throw a series of front kicks, and he's got a lot of leverage throwing elbows in a particular position

Its been a while but I remember in the Nog and Nelson fight thinking Werdum was getting his best work done in the clinch. Browne's going to be too tall for that.
