Awesome upset by Varner. I remember watching him in the WEC, its nice to see him doing well again after hitting rock bottom in the minor leagues.

Very good card overall. The heavyweights brought some entertainment! Junior Dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez would be an awesome rematch!

 

[Mortis]

I think that rematch is going to happen, too. Will be a good one! I might have to pick Cain over JDS in that one.

I hope Brock Lesnar comes back to the UFC to face Big Country Nelson. That would be a fun fight to watch! JDS vs Cain rematch would also be very sick...definitely can go either way

 

[Mortis]

I'm okay with Brock Lesnar not coming back, lol.. the diverculitus took a lot out of him, and he never looked the same after coming back, even in the loss against Carwin (who pretty much gassed out, which is why he lost).

Even if he came back, he wouldn't beat any of the top strikers. Sure, I think he'd beat Roy Nelson, because his aggression (as long as he still has that) would be too much for Nelson, but he's already lost against JDS and Cain, and I don't see him beating JDS, either. I believe Shane Carwin would be him a second time around as well.

With that said, if Brock does come back, Carwin is about to make his return.. I think a Lesnar vs Carwin rematch would be a good one.

 

[BluffYou123]

Would love to see Carwin vs Lesnar 2 so Carwin could get his revenge. Don't see the point in Brock coming back to fight long-term though. He wouldn't be able to handle any of the elite HWs. He could get a few Ws but not many imo.

Brock probably wants to come back to go out of the UFC with a win. I bet he's not happy with the beatdown Overeem gave him in his last fight. With the large amount of money he's getting in the WWE, this has to be the reason why brock might come back.
