Is fedor making a comeback in Bellator? Just watched Friday's event and he makes an appearance at the end donning a Bellator sweatshirt.

Had a falling out with Vince McMahon last week over the terms of a possible new contract. Probably his way of saying to Vince here's where I'm going if you don't give me what I want.

Seriously tho would Brock ever want to come back to the UFC? I could imagine a situation in which he goes to Bellator for a few fights/lots of cash and is fed a few bums, destroys them, feeds into the monster persona he currently has in the WWE and then returns to the WWE for a final big paycheck.

Brock has shown interest in coming back to the UFC. He will always be a draw wherever he goes and he loves money. I think people forget because Lesnar has done so much that he's only 37 which is the same age as Mark Munoz who fought last night and who just signed a new 4 fight contract. Lesnar is healthier now than when he fought Overeem so whoever offers biggest payday be it UFC, WWE or Bellator Brock will go there....... and I will watch like most people will.

Axwell

Brock had 7 fights in the UFC, 4 of those are in the top 10 PPV earnings of all time. There is no doubt given the chance Brock would come back to the UFC for a few big pay checks and the UFC would be equally as glad to have him back to put asses on seats and sell PPV's. The guy is a serious athlete and a genuine threat to the division.

I would assume WWE can offer far more money than either the UFC or Bellator, especially when you consider the huge cut from all the merchandise he shifts.

Brock is defo coming back. Dana said at the Welcome to the Show, Post fight Press conference and many times before

"When Brocks contract runs out I'm sure he'll call me"

Seems delighted when he's asked about him.

Dtp1979

I dunno, with more serious drug tests lesnar mightn't want to come back.

I don't think he needs any more tbh, pretty sure he's had enough at this stage.

Just read Bellator filed injunction to stop Rampage fighting at UFC186

Ah that sucks. He's always the best character in any of the Embedded Vlogs leading up to each fight

califano

I said a few times before that Burt Watson annoys the hell outa me with his corny catch phrases and strut like he owns the place. Trying to be everyones best buddies and forced laughing. He said before in some interview couple years ago he isnt even a fan of mma which i found surprising.

Ken V Kimbo bellator in june :eek:

In fairness I don't think Brock was juicing. You can see how he got noticably softer and smaller when he was in the UFC compared to when he was outside it. The guy is already so big that gaining any more muscle would seriously affect his cardio and ability to make weight.

Well he had to cut to hit the 265 heavyweight limit.

Normally long time users would simply stop using , rather switch substances, to make different changes in their bodies. Long time abuse reeks havoc on your own bodies ability to make testosterone, resulting in so many guys jumping on TRT.

TUF isn't specifically up and comers. It's for fighters who haven't been signed. Even fighters previously signed.

Only 37? lol
Name 5 other fighters who are 36-38. What sort of condition are they in, compared to say 5 years ago.

Lyoto, Lombard, mitreone, hunt, vitor, & josh Thompson would be decent examples of older fighters still in good shape.

Ah no I know that but they said in the advert it was up and comers from ATT & Blackzillians is what I was getting at; either was I don't think Carl would be good enough for the UFC it was just weird seeing someone as experienced as him on TUF. The more I think about it there is a good few other examples like.Lauzon & Nelson.

Its been a long long time since we've seen a quality cast on TUF like the earlier seasons

Lyoto: 5 years ago he 16-0 and the LHW champ
Lombard: LOL :pac:
Vitor: There'e a fairly big asterisk nest to his name tbf.
Hunt: I'll give you that one. Renaissance Man.
Meathead: He's doing alright, but can't cut it with top HWs
Thompson: 2-4 in his last 6. Has lost 2 on the trot. He's still in good nick but he's past his best.

Being in good shape is one thing, but I specifically mentioned comparing to 5 years ago for a reason. We are talking about Lesnar and the HW division. It's very shallow, and being in good shape wouldn't cut it. He needs to be close to his best if he's gonna attempt to get near a fight with Cain/Verdum. A rubber match with Mir or prehaps a rematch with Overeem is off the cards right now too.

dave1982

I'd love to see another TUF comeback series

skeletor145

the blackzillans vs att looks amazing

weemcd

Haven't looked at the roster yet. But Blackzillians should murder them. Camp full of savages with Henri Hooft coaching?

Forget about it
