UFC 121:Lesnar Vs Velasquez:
UFC 121 Title Bout
by: BadaBingPatron@gmail.com
Unless you live in a Cave or you happen to be a Woman, then you probably are aware that UFC Champ Brock Lesnar is set to defend his UFC Heavyweight Title this weekend (have you found a cave yet?). :)
Last July, Lesnar defended the same UFC Title and that's after surviving over 20 or so big punches while down on this back, from Shane Carwin. That's Carwin who punches like a hammer. That fight redefined many of the current sports critics' opinion about Lesnar's ability to take hits. I don't think there would be a lot of fighters out there who will be able to take what he took in over 1 minute worth of beating. Especially snap back and win the match the following round.
This Saturday evening, Lesnar will try to defend his crown again at UFC 121. This time it's against versatile 28-yr old Cain Velasquez who is 8-0 in the MMA. Velasquez isn't a heavy puncher, but he is solid and steady in his attacks. If he were a snake I'd say he's more like a python than anything that packs venom. If Brock were a snake I'd say he's a Rhino ... okay that wasn't a snake but Lesnar is too big and too brutish to be associated with snakes. :)
If there's one thing that differentiates Cain's style of fighting from Lesnar, it is his ability to counter, strike and move quickly. Speed is not going to be the fight plan for the challenger. It's going to be a combo of quickness and timing. ... Which safe to say it more like 30% skill and 70% "I hope I get lucky and catch him on the chin" :) . Still, the 8-0 record is a solid statement in the MMA.

My bet however goes to Brock Lesnar. I think he holds quite an advantage both in size and raw strength. The only way I feel that Velasquez can steal this one from the champion is if he plays it patiently and at a distance. Preferably, long, long distance. Anything that would lead to Brock cornering him is just as good as submitting to Lesnar's submission holds.
Still, it's bound to be interesting fight.

Lesnar came out strong, but got caught a couple of times by Cain and was dazed and just couldnt recover. Once it got to the ground it was a bloodbath and he wasnt even defending himself anymore. It was pretty unfortunate that it ended so quickly.

It was a classic fight, Poker SEO. One for the books. They exchanged punches and kicks like real champs. The people got what they paid for.
Like you, I wish the match played a little longer. Just like you, I wish there would have been more exchanges. Just like you, I wish Arianny Celeste came into the Octagon with nothing more than the stuff she posed with in her Playboy Spread. ;) ... Okay. Maybe that last bit was just me. :)
I feel like there's going to be a rematch maybe sometime January next year.
Thanks for dropping by Poker SEO
