Brock Lesnar puts himself in the category of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and George Foreman. Dana says there hasn’t been a heavyweight fight of this caliber in any sport in quite sometime.

(By the way, I have no idea why they aren’t just focusing on Lesnar/Carwin for an hour. No need to talk about any of the undcard fights.)

Lesnar says he’s not a pro wrestling or football player. He’s the UFC Heavyweight Champion.

In the bad taste category, Joe Rogan says that if Brock Lesnar was born 2,000 years ago, they’d be sacrificing virgins for him.

Brock says their size may be similar, but there’s a whole different level of athleticism.

I nearly forgot that when Brock beat Frank Mir that he got in his face after the fight. That was crazy.

Brock did the double bird flip to the camera after they showed him flipping the double bird to the crowd. That was basically his way of saying that he’s not going to be anyone different even after the bad press.

Carwin says Brock’s disrespectful. Eliot Marshall says that what Brock did when he flipped off the fans was pro wrestling stuff and not MMA stuff. Carwin says he’s 180% different from Brock.

Lesnar talks about his illness and said because he was an athlete, he just tried to work through it.

He says that when he was in the hospital, he didn’t eat for two weeks because they didn’t want his stomach irritated it. Dana says that Brock changed his diet and started doing more holistic things to get better.

Here’s another video from Yahoo! Sports on Shane Carwin with Dave Meltzer and Kevin Iole. Kevin Iole gives his pick on who wins, and we’ll have that pick as well in a preview/predictions piece that I’m doing tomorrow.

This is the same video Frank narrated on the recent Strikeforce broadcast where he announced his retirement.

I was live at Strikeforce: Fedor Vs. Werdum last night and was able to snap a handful of shots at what will go down on record as a historical event.

The show overall was very fun and lived up to the hype, even before Fabricio Werdum sucked Fedor Emelianenko into his triangle and made him tap out.

If you are a Facebook member, you can see the photos by going to the Strikeforce: Fedor Vs. Werdum album.
