Easily, that bracket was stacked. Was shocked as shit to see Fedor go down to Bigfoot though. Was impressed even though I predicted that one horribly wrong. Sergei vs Arlovski went pretty much as I thought though. Knew he'd eat a bomb from Sergei.

I actually predicted Bigfoot over Fedor, Fedor hasn't looked like himself since before he fought Sylvia, IMO he's gotten more wild with his punches, and has become more of a brawler than a complete fighter, I think he's stopped training the ground game entirely to be honest, I don't know if he's changed things to appeal more to American fans or if he just doesn't have it anymore but I think he's been going downhill for quite a while now. Not just that either, people don't want to give Bigfoot respect because he's huge and he pissed dirty, but he is by far the best Super Heavyweight fighter of all time, he's legitimately skilled in all areas, and Fedor is used to fighting big guys with no skills to speak of.
Yeah, can't really argue about that but think I got more caught up in Fedor's aura so to speak then actually paying attention to see if his skills were declining lol. Ah well, good win for Bigfoot and he deserves it. He often gets forgotten in the realm of Fedors, Barnetts, and Overeems.
Cain is very well rounded, young, and talented. He will be a beast for years to come. Lesnar is a gifted athlete, but he is not a complete fighter by any means. Also helps if he could take a punch...... Lesnar is one fighter I feel weird about. Def overhyped but I feel that maybe if he had been training for MMA right out of college and had a camp that beat him up a bit that he could have been a juggernaut in the MMA world. He is too far behind the game to try and catch up to the top guys and he doesn't know how to react when hit. I don't see him holdiung the belt ever again.
I've never seen a person so bad at taking a punch, like, most people I know in real life who aren't pro fighters at all take a shot better than he does, the guy is in his mid 30s and you'd think he's never been punched in the face in his life.
He probably hasn't. I've known a lot of big dudes like that and most of them haven't been hit because people say "whoa, that's a big dude...better not mess with him". Now he's getting hit by some of the toughest guys in the world and Brock doesn't seem to like it very much.
Yeah, Brock is the biggest, meanest guy who's never been in a real fight in his life, then he tried to jump right in there with the toughest, nastiest guys in the world and he's finding out the hard way that he is in fact not the baddest man on the planet.
Yeah, Brock is the type of guy that if he can't be the absolute best based on Size and strength alone he'll pack up and go home, we've seen it time and time again, honestly his wrestling isn't that good, I've been trying to tell people for years that he was successful because he competed in the Super HW division, he was a real athlete competing with for the most part fan, unathletic slobs, A Super HW like Brock Lesnar when pitted against a REGULAR HW's with his exact same credentials will get owned int he wrestling department IMO, and we saw that when he fought Randy and Cain, real athletes who've never relied on size or strength, but just technique to overcome opponents, the only thing Brock can really be #1 is Professional wrestling because all you need to succeed there is big muscles, he doesn't want to put in the work to get good at anything.
A lot of people shit on Brock saying he brings nothing to the table for TUF, but that is one of the few things that I disagree with, if there is ONE thing Brock Lesnar excells at it is strength and conditioning training, and that is usually where TUF guys struggle the most, he's gonna put his guys through hell when it comes to that.
