Lesnar's streak in UFC or Shogun's 05 GP run..?

[philphan]

C'mon son, every single thread you've been in has been about Shogun in some form or another. I highly doubt it's a coincidence. Still, I suppose we can be civil regardless.

I don't see how the majority of my thread themes involving Shogun is an issue - the actual content of the threads is what should be taken in to consideration. I happen to think this thread poses a very interesting question.

To be honest, so did the Shogun/remember thread.

Fair enough. I just don't see how Brock running through faded Heath Herring, faded Randy Couture who he outweighed by close to 50 pounds, probably more, Mir, and Carwin who simply gassed epicly is even considered against Shogun's GP run. To be honest, I can't think of any single event where one fighter performed so well.

+! You are seeing this whole situation correctly sir. He knows you know. He is playing coy.
Never let someone talk you out of your instincts

I think both runs are a complete joke, so I didn't vote

The MMA world says the same about you.

Shogun's wins were over more legit competition.

[CyberFedor]

Lesnar's best streak was the streak in his shorts when Overeem knee'd him in the diverculitis.

[Doodlebop37]

Shogun's one of the best LHW of all time, Brock's accomplishments start and end with this run so the choice is obvious.

This isn't relevant to the question at hand though - we're not comparing entire careers (well really, I guess it practically IS Lesnar's entire career), just this specific string of wins.

Also, shame on the OP for making such a blatant Shogun/Brock attack thread. This site is turning to shit rather quickly.

this thread is *NOT* a bashing thread, no matter how much you want it to be - if you want to feed on drama please find a different website.

Grow up dudes your opinion on MMA really doesn't matter and Shogun not deciding to fight a nobody (not saying Glover isn't tough) isn't that big of a deal. When Glover beats a name he will quickly rise to the top and fight the Shogun's/Henderson's of the division until then there is nothing wrong with a guy earning his stripes.

get out of my thread.

Bullshit this isn't a shogun bashing thread, view your sig.

Jones' recent wins easily blow that one away - granted, it was over a period of a year rather than FOUR MONTHS, which is huge. I think the thing that makes it closer is how green Lesnar technically was going in to those bouts, Herring wasn't exactly in his prime but was still a teetering top 15 opponent with a ton of experience. The Mir, Carwin and Randy wins were all good - Overeem also gassed pretty quickly against Shogun, it happens.

Thats highly debatable. When Shogun destroyed Rampage, Page was in his prime. It was way before he did the A-team and way before he quit caring about fighting. Also Shogun is nowhere near his 2005 form. After multiple knee surgeries he is simply not the same fighter he was in 2005 (I am not making excuses for him, thats just a fact). Machida and Evans are good, quality wins. When Shogun dominated Lil Nog, Arona, Rampage and Reem they were all top 10 ranked LHW's and were in their primes.

Lesnar fought an aging Herring, over the hill Couture, a way out of his prime Mir and Carwin. I think Shogun's 2005 run is better than Jones or Lesnar's. Plus you have to add in the fact that Shogun beat Overeem and Arona in one night. Something Jones and Lesnar have never done.

Lesnar ducked Big Nog and a Mir rematch and was gifted the real title from fighting Old Man Couture while Mir and Nog fought for the interim belt. What a joke company.

Lesnar would have finished what that truck started when Nog was a child.

[Loyalty13]

lesnar defended the belt twice shogun never did that.

[Dpez71]

People who think Rampage was in his prime at the time Shogun fought him were obviously not watching at the time the fight happened.

[WandyCroCop]

I think Chris Leben -> title shot is my favorite

LMAO, these take the cake:

Patrick Cote vs. Anderson Silva - Scott Smith, Jason Day, Kendall Grove, Drew McFedries, Ricardo Almeida (Split decision ) gets MW title shot

Thales Leites vs Anderson Silva - Pete Sell, Floyd Sword, Ryan Jensen, Nate Marquardt, Drew McFedries, MW title shot

Dan Henderson vs Anderson Silva - Loses to Rampage in LHW title fight, gets MW title shot lol

Rich Franklin vs. Evan Tanner - Jorge Rivera, Curtis Stout, goes to LHW to fight Ken Shamrock, gets MW title shot

Vitor Belfort vs. Anderson Silva- Terry Martin, Matt Lindland, Rich Franklin (At catch weight), instant MW title shot after going 1-0 in the UFC

Nate Marquardt vs. Anderson Silva - Ivan Salaverry, Joe Doerksen, Crafton Wallace, Dean Lister, title shot

and finally, my favorite;

Travis Lutter vs. Anderson Silva - Wins TUF Finale against Patrick Cote, instant title shot.


Middleweight is SUCH a joke

Seems like a Lesnar hate thread in disguise...

I guess you think Rampage was in his prime when he came to the UFC?

I'm fake surprised by your answer. I'm furprised!

You may in fact just be the biggest As_ _ _ _ fanboy alive, but leave his nuts alone for two seconds.

I don't know Rampage looked pretty awesome in Rampage/Hendo.
