Fatality911 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Let me start this off by saying I am by no means a fan of Brock. My personal opinion is that the UFC took an extremely bad approach on how they brought him up and marketed him, and that alienated me as a fan of his almost immediately. He may be a great person in normal life, but I don't care for him as a fighter. But my question is regarding all the recent interviews done with fighters such as Don Frye, Bigfoot Silva, Allster Overeem, and M-1 president Vadim Finkelchtein. In all these interviews the people involved are consistently bashing Brock regarding his fighter status, ability, etc, And rightfully so IMO. But my question is this...... Why is all this being done now after Brock was beaten by Cain? When the man was winning fights I can't think of a single interview where he was being discredited and now there are tons of them? Is it really a fighters agenda to try and kick a man while he's down just to get in his head a little and reduce competition, or did the fighters not feel it was ok to bash him while he was winning fights because they didn't feel they could back up their claim? Regardless, it just seems odd to me that all of this comes out the second he gets manhandled by Cain, but was never an issue while he was winning. Anyway it's just my view on it. Thanks for reading.

If it makes them feel better, Don Frye shouldn't talk. At the last event he commentated he talked about coming home drunk and slapping the woman arond (live) the guy is an idiot.

In the days of gladiators, fighters who lost were sodomized by the winner. Fans loved it. Today sadly, we dont do that anymore, but instead we humiliate fighters with bad PR.

raoullduke Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 cain beat brock not only because he's a better striker but because he had the wrestling to let him use his striking. overeem and big foot silva are idiots if their talking **** about brock because he would make a litle boy out of both of them. as for vladimir finkelstein does anyone really listen to anything this guy says? don frye is a legend but but he belongs to another time, even in his prime brock would have took him down battered the mustahce of him.

Steven_McTowelie Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 who are these people bad mouthing him I mean seriously it would be like Ben Johnston coming out and talking crap about Bolt. I mean if Couture were to come ot and run brock down or even someone who is RELEVANT in todays mma scene and not a washed up has been or a guy from the minor league then maybe it might hold water.

StephenColbert Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Brock would sadly beat all those fighters though.. However, maybe not Overeem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
