Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar (Spoilers)

Anyone got a decent vid?

I just saw it. Brock is like Wlad was back after the first Sanders fight, he panics when he gets hit.

Just looked panicky the whole time. WTF was that wild backhand jab? Like Naz but Naz managed to look nonchalant when he was doing it.

I thought the same thing. I also think his career might parallel Wlad's in development if he's dedicated. His sheer size is dominating and could adapt like Wlad did and be a force for a very long time.

I don't think he was really hurt either as much as dizzy and lost his bearing from panically moving his head and getting hit when he didn't expect it. I don't think he was dazed at all. Eyes were clear, nothing real hard landed. Clearly not used to getting hit at all. You would think he'd sparred enough to get over that??

He's still going to be hell on a lot of heavies if he can get them down. Sure he got his ass beat but he still got a quick takedown, in that situation he probably keeps most heavyweights down and grinds them out.

But he looked scared shitless when he was standing with Cain pretty much the whole time. Not exactly intimidating. He had that nervous flurry at the beginning but once Cain got out of that clinch and started to try to strike Brock looked panicky.

And then the way he was flailing around after Cain had him up against the fence was weird cause like you I didn't see a whole lot there as far as landed punches. Maybe I just missed something. Now after that, when he got up he got caught with a big knee and then a big right to the back of the head but I couldn't really pinpoint what hurt him initially.

Right. I watched it a couple times and slow mo'd the exchanges and he didn't get hit with anything that looked to be the one that "rocked" him.

I think just like you said it was panic. Cain just stayed on him and hit him at every opening, but they weren't real hard and he never looked stunned.

I agree that he's still dangerous and it was a rookie mistake and to me similar to his first fight with Mir. If he sticks around, he's still in the upper echelon and I could see him getting the belt back.

Fortunately for MMA, it's not the end of the world when someone loses in UFC. They put them right back in the mix.
