I like Sanchez. Do I think he should fight GSP? No, b/c he'd lose, badly. But, I like him.

yeah personally I think Diego is a good dude. A hell of a fighter and great attitude. His loss to BJ is just that a loss to BJ nothing to cry about...its like telling people who fight GSP or Anderson..."how come you couldnt beat that guy"...there the best at what they do.

Lesnar is going to be on SportsCenter tomorrow at 11am ET. Hopefully we get an estimated date of return.

I've been talking trash about him for quite some time now. I'm just glad that he got a first class azzbeating.
the funny thing is how you think this after only participating in this thread for the past month. a lot of us here have been talking in this thread since the beginning and you'd see that at least for myself, ive always hated on Sanchez. He's an over rated UFC golden boy who was spoon-fed opponents to make him more marketable imo.
Diego has a mind of his own...did you guys see the countdown to his match against Bj Penn?Spinning Wheels down a hill outside his house while yelling "YES,YES,YES".
Actually...before the Penn match i thought he was gonna be BJ Penn`s toughest title defense yet,but man was i terribly wrong.

I think Florian will be his toughest when he gets another shot..........assuming he doesnt have the same stupid game plan as last time. I actually think theres a good chance the Edgar fight could go 5 rounds, but it would be Bj by Unan. decision, Edgar is a pretty smart fighter and hes hard to finish.

I've always liked him as well, I like the mindset, it's different but cool.

I liked Sanchez thru most of TUF he was on. THen it became apparent he started thinking he was "The One" and then started acting like "I am THE ONE!" and it started getting embarrassing laughable IMO. I started to cringe watching his prefight demeanor. .... now its just laughable ...
dont doubt his skills... but he needs to get over himself ...

Brock should be back this Summer. He is supposed to fight the winner of Mir/Carwin, but if the winner is out to long he will face the winner of Nog/Velasquez.

His game face is epic though
, when he fought Guida I was just waiting for one of them to burst out laughing --- or pass out. 
I still cant believe Mir would get a title shot so quick if he wins
But I guess a lot of that has to do with the depth of this division

As recently as early January, Brock Lesnar was convinced he needed surgery to deal with a case of diverticulitis – a condition that essentially left a hole in his intestine and put his career as Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title holder in jeopardy. He might be out a year. Or it might be two. Or it might be forever.
Instead, a series of doctor’s visits and tests have revealed what both Lesnar and UFC president Dana White described as a “miracle.” The big guy is healed and ready to return to the Octagon this summer, probably against the winner of the fight between Frank Mir and Shane Carwin in March.
“Let’s be clear, I’m still the heavyweight champion,” Lesnar growled, in trademark fashion, on ESPN on Wednesday morning.

Brock Lesnar is grateful for his supporters and focused on his return.

There couldn’t be better news for the UFC and fans of mixed martial arts. Lesnar isn’t just apparently well again (although really, who knows if there could be a setback or another episode), but his return to fighting brings back the sports’ biggest box office star.
Lesnar, 32, is a polarizing figure – or was until he got sick. You either loved his in-your-face ways or wanted someone to punch him in his face because of it. You were either one of the new fans that Lesnar drew in, perhaps from his days as a professional wrestler, or you resented them.
Either way, Lesnar was difficult to shift your eyes away from. A huge man who needs to cut weight to make the 265-pound limit, he was growing as a fighter and an intimidator during his brief career. His fights were thrilling and he headlined the hugely successful UFC 100, which did a reported 1.6 million pay per view buys.
His postfight tirade after his dominating victory over Mir at UFC 100, complete with flipping off the crowd and cussing out UFC sponsors, made him a tour de force. It didn’t mesh with his private life as a blue-collar, down home guy from South Dakota and Minnesota, yet Lesnar had learned how to sell fights during his days in the WWE.
The truth was, he just wanted to hang out in the woods with his family and emerge a couple times a year to beat the heck out of someone. And now, it seems, he can again.
“The doctors were dumbfounded,” Lesnar said. “They couldn’t find any signs of trouble.”
This was a long way from the fall, when illness and weakness caused Lesnar to sit out almost three weeks of training camp as he prepared to fight Carwin in a bout scheduled for November in Las Vegas. When I visited his training camp in October, he complained of being “dead in the ass.” Within weeks he couldn’t work out at all and when doctors couldn’t figure out the medical issue, Lesnar dropped out of the fight.
In an effort to fight depression, he went hunting in Canada where he had a painful diverticulitis attack.
“I felt like I got shot in the gut,” he said.
He wasn’t excited about his Canadian medical care, comparing it to “a third world country” where he couldn’t get any treatment. Finally Lesnar’s wife, Rena (better known as former pro wrestling star Sable), sprung him from the hospital, loaded him into a car and while Lesnar writhed in pain, drove “100 miles an hour” across the border and into North Dakota. He wound up MedCenter One, a hospital in Bismarck, N.D. There doctors were patient, didn’t immediately perform surgery and slowly nursed him back to some form of health.
“My wife saved my life,” he said.
Still, when he returned to the farm he owns outside Alexandria, Minn. he was down 40 pounds and facing an uncertain future. He got a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and heard the same thing – surgery. He changed his diet. He said he put his mind to healing. Dana White claimed Lesnar tried some holistic healing procedures. He began light workouts and focused on regaining some of his weight.
By the time Lesnar visited a doctor on January 5, he not only felt better, medical tests couldn’t find a problem. He kept returning for more and more tests. “Four of five different opinions,” Lesnar said, including one on Tuesday.
And now he’s focused on the future – returning to a sport where he found the peace of mind and quality of life that he’d been seeking since bailing on a multi-million dollar contract with the WWE.
“The doctor said, ‘You’ve got a lottery ticket,’ ” White said on ESPN.
Lesnar appeared fully aware of his good fortune. There is simply no way to know how long it will last or whether he is truly “healed.” A man built on bullying others inside the Octagon wore a look of fear as he described his recent medical journey and humility at his prognosis.
“I’ve got a different take on life,” Lesnar said. “When you have everything taken away, when you lay helplessly on a hospital bed … I’ve always been in control. For me to sit there for 30 days and not have control of anything … “
He went on to thank his wife, with whom he recently had a son. And his doctors. And the UFC. And anyone who thought of him while he was sick.
The powerhouse of a man who fans learned to hate because of his gruff ways at least sounded like a new guy.
Stands to reason, he’ll be just as wicked inside that Octagon though.

Im pretty sure Brock will be fighting Mir again...as much as I like Carwin, I think he doesnt have the tools to beat Mir. Mir is just getting better and better while Carwin is just a wrestler/ground n pounder like brock...but not as big. Just my 2 cents
