technically speaking, probably not, since mma is mixed martial arts, and kickboxing is just 1 discipline of said mma. Although k-1 does have mma events, the grand prix isn't one of them, but it's still awesome to watch and talk about .

A few thoughts about last nights fight:

Brock was in more trouble against Carwin, but for some reason that fight wasn't stopped.

Lesnar needs to start training with a top notch team. He should be a dominant wrestler, and just isn't.

Dana looked absolutely pissed off putting the belt around Cain's waist, so I'd expect Brock back in a title match sooner than later.

I agree. Carwin had full mount but his shots weren't getting through. Carwin also didn't cut Brock.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see anything substantial that seemed like Lesnar should have been badly hurt. The guy's cardio is horrible and once he's challenged at all, he loses it completely and fights back like a girl.

Yeah, he didn't cut him, but he was in almost the same position. Taking hammer fists and not making any attempt to get out of it.

Brock's major problem is his stand up defense. He goes into panick mode when he gets hit. And I don't think his cardio is one his strengths.

hes so big cardio is always going to be one of his weaknesses. He just has simply too much muscle to pump blood too for an extended period.

Agreed! We even saw it in his fight with Couture when he was caught a few times with some stiff jabs. Hell if Couture's dirty boxing almost did him in, what did he expect was going to happen against Velasquez?

Ricardo Arona is in talks to make his UFC debut before the end of the year. He is only 32, and should be healthy since he's only had 1 fight in the last 3 years. His last fight in Sep 09 was at LH.

Ok, I'm not terribly familiar with Russia's Team Legion... but after watching this event it made me go look up videos of Magomed Shikshabekov. This guy has heart!

He came out strong and aggressive against a tough competitor. He ended up catching a beating for 2 solid rounds. However, the entire time he kept his aggression up, worked diligently from the bottom and threw just as many strikes as he ate. Not to mention the multitude of submissions he attempted. He came back in the third but ended up losing the decision when it went to the judges. Still though, the guy looked great and never stopped pressing the action.

I'll be watching more of him from now on.

I just found this thread. I love MMA i'll keep up with this one. I agree Lesnar needs to work on his skills as a fighter. Or he needs to go back to fake wrestling.

Bloodyelbow did an article on Brock Lesnar which brought on the chuckles. Someone doesn't think very highly of him

Let's place a bet on it cuz I'm seeing it the other way

But to be serious: if penn shows up at 163-165 like he's saying, he's gonna crush. if he shows up at 170 he'll probably be a bit sluggish like we saw against GSP (not that looking bad against GSP is a crime, it's fricken GSP). I don't think Hughes has a quick enough shot anymore to really get BJ down, let alone hold him there. I also don't think his footwork is spry enough to keep BJ guessing, which is how Edgar defeated him.

Either way, really looking forward to the fight.
