"Brock wasn't healthy," Heyman said. "I don't think Brock has truly understood nor accepted the severity of the illness that took him down. They did blood work on Brock and they found out he wasn't healthy for many, many years. His body was fighting this affliction off and using so much of his energy....

..."Brock Lesnar avoids watching UFC because every person that he watches, he will turn and say, `I could whip that guy's ass.' Sometimes I'll say, `Did you happen to see this fight because it's really good?' The one I remember, I couldn't believe the butchering that Cain Velasquez put on Bigfoot (Antonio Silva, in their first fight in 2011). Cain Velasquez is the Abdullah the Butcher of the Octagon. He scars everyone he faces. He scarred Brock Lesnar. He not only beats people within an inch of their lives, he bloodies and massacres guys in the Octagon, and he's the nicest guy, which makes him so scary. He doesn't have to be loud, and then he gets into the cage, he's the Tasmanian devil, a whirling dervish. He's the devil.

"I saw that beating. It was so impressive. I said, `Brock, you have to watch this.' Brock turned and said, `I could kick his ass. I see exactly how I'd do it.'

"The Brock Lesnar who stepped into the cage with Alistair Overeem, he was at 50, 75 percent. You're going to fight Alistair Overeem at 75 percent, Cain Velasquez at 75 percent. He fought Shane Carwin at 75, or 60, or 80 percent, but even at 95 percent against Shane Carwin, you're at a disadvantage."

Full Article (very lengthy read) is below. Wonder what his UFC career could have been had if he didn't have diverticulitis.

That fight? No....that's why I said it had me like :to:

I know his stomach was on fire after that shyt....it wasnt fair. THAT fight was hard to watch as a Brock fan.

Him beating Shane Carwin was a good victory, even though it could've been stopped in the previous round in Carwin's favor. Brock didnt gas out and got the stoppage his damn self:myman:

Cain? No way is Brock EVER beating Cain. At all:ufdup:

100% healthy or not, Cain is much more skilled than Brock is.

We don't know that.............


We do know Brock was a beast when he first started, he became the champ quick, and then he started to look like a different person near and around the time of the injury.................

Brock brought me in to the UFC world:to:


The way he dominated Frank Mir had me like :smugbiden: to this one guy in the office who kept saying "No way a WWE wrestler is gonna be able to beat a legit UFC fighter"

I always watched the UFC but Brock was UFC at its apex, he was supposed to be the poster child and future, he lived breathed, fought and then talked that shyt post fights, and he ended the legend beating the last lil but of prime outta Couture, so he was no hype job.................UFC is dying without the hype and buzz he generated.........


Brock owns the greatest UFC promo ever, which will never be outmatched:banderas:

This. Cain handily beats any version of Brock.
