Couture vs. Lesnar
ClubNinja:
I had a friend in college who transfered in from Minnesota. He wrestled (and was a big dude). His favorite story was about the time he wrestled Brock Lesnar and had his ass handed to him very quickly. This UFC win should add some new life to that guy's ass-beating story.
ChadTower:
As well as to Stephen Neal's... as if a couple Super Bowl rings aren't enough already.

It was a bad stoppage, plain and simple.

At the point of the stoppage, Brock had his arm inside of Couture's and was dropping repeated elbows straight into Randy's face uncontested, and picking up Randy's head along with his arm between blows, so he was taking it front (elbow) and back (mat). There's no way anybody could get enough leverage to scramble out of those blows before serious damage was done. It was a good stoppage, and shouldn't have come a moment sooner than it did (Randy was still moving and defending himself pretty well up until that elbow slipped in).

The punchline of Neal's story is a little better, too.
lordtodd75:
First, I am not sure I would call them elbows. Randy was holding onto Brocks arm and the force of brocks movement was lifting Randy off of the matt. If anything that makes the blows less effective because there is no real point of impact. The fact that you say the blows were uncontested is not really accurate either. Randys arms were moving around in a deliberate manner which is how he was able to grab onto brocks arm in the first place. Sure randy was hurt and dazed after getting pounded on by that monster. But he was clearly conscious and he was improving his position. The fact is that lesnar is inhumanly strong and it seems to me that the attempted strikes weren't damaging Randy as much as it seemed, they pushing him more then anything.
