wow that looks bad.....even if he gets that thing drained, and a cortisone shot....he will not have 100% movement and control with his arms....giving him a disadvantage on the ground and standing....and in the clinch....

any of you GSP fans worried about this? regardless of adrenaline or anything......if alves even attempts an armbar GSP has to at least think about this injury in the back of his head no?

How recent? How did he injure it? I presume the fight is still on?

Wow, Alves at +240 or +225 looks like a steal right now. He made weight, right? I know that's been a struggle for him.

A friend on my hockey team had the exact same thing. I think it is just water build up. In time it went down. Doctor didn't even tell him to scope it or anything.

All the while, he felt fine.

Ufc 100

Figured I'd go ahead and make this thread into a UFC 100 thread.

As far as the weigh-ins, Frank Mir looks like he's in the best shape of his career. Brock.....I just always get a chuckle that he has to make weight to fight at heavyweight. What a monster.

Stephan Bonner also looked to be in better shape.

Make the throwback uniforms permanent!

great stuff.....

muck what do you think lesnars game plan is coming into this fight!? its obvious mir is in incredible shape.....and he had a great showing standing with NOG and its obvious his ground game is superb (the first fight)

do you think brock stands with him (ala randy fight) or tries to take down mir (risk a sub) and GnP him???

gunna be interesting to see....iam stoked for it

Sorry to sound like a gambling newbie...but what does this bet mean in MMA language? +225? +240?

i think it just means you bet 100 and win 225......(being + means you are the underdog)

for example if brock lesnar is -200 to mir......you would have to bet 200 to win 100.........because he is the favorite....they are lines trying to get more people to bet for the underdog who is not getting the most bets from all the people.

I thought he was just goofing off. I'd never seen that weigh-in guy before. :lol:

I think Brock will try to take him down and GnP. That's where his strength is. And he's convinced that SHOULD have beaten Mir last time.

I think he's going to try and get right on top of Mir from the start, smother him and take him down. Then pound him into unconsciousness.

The gameplan for Mir would seem simple: don't get knocked out. Easy enough, right? :lol:

Looking at it simplistically, Brock's not going to submit you (via anything other than strikes). So defensively, it's about not taking the big shot standing, and avoid letting Brock get into too dominant a position on the ground. I think Frank will have learned about Brock's length from the last fight, just like Randy did. You can't stand in front of him for too long or too straight up because of that length and power.

I think you have to get in close and try to body up and lean on him against the cage, which Randy had some success with. He can't knock you out if your pressed against him. At 220, Randy nearly got a takedown from the cage.

On the ground, it's probably survival mode and looking for mistakes/openings for submissions, assuming your on your back.

Really, Randy had a pretty solid gameplan. And it worked until he decided to stand in front of Brock for whatever reason.

My question is, what kind of shape is Lesnar in? Can he go 5 rounds? I know he did against Herring and beat him to a pulp. But it's one thing to be dominating, it's another to be in a dogfight. 280 pounds is a lot to carry around.
