Has there ever been a title fight where two fighters have had a combined less than 14 fights like in this one?
I think this would be a record in the UFC, since they started belts. Though Randy Couture and Maurice Smith had only a total of 8 wins combined when they fought (and 15 fights).
Cain's up to +105 on Bodog. Gonna wait for the line to move. Question is: will it ever move enough that I could get Lesnar now and arb later....
[edit: oops, I see someone else posted that]
Gilbert Melendez vs Olaf Alfonso for the WEC Lightweight title.
Gabe Ruediger vs Olaf Alfonso for the WEC Lightweight title.
James Irvin vs Jody Poff for the WEC Heavyweight title.
I'm sure theres a couple more in the world of MMA but I'm not going to hunt through shit to find them.

I dont know if it'll move that much,maybe 30 cents .
Most of what I've read is after the Carwin hypetrain derailed all the passengers jumped onto the Cain hypetrain so that should keep it low enough

This will continue to happen fight after fight as long as Lesnar keeps winning, and probably even if he loses. For some reason he garners a LOT of hate, so much hate it blinds people to his abilities and the progression he's making in the sport it seems.

It's a mixture of the fact that he was a Pro Wrestler and that is somehow a slight against the sport that he thought he could cross over. Plus he's always been a bit of an ego-maniac and a douchebag which I'm sure never helped things. I don't much care for him when he gets into Brock Lesnar the character(spitting and shit, getting in Mir's face after he mauled it, flipping off the crowd, insulting sponsors, etc etc etc). But as a fighter in the sport I am fairly impressed with the success he's had considering how late in life he took it up.
His size and athleticism and the way they go hand in hand they way they do for him is intriguing to say the least. He doesn't ACTUALLY move like a welterweight or whatever the fuck Rogan said but for a guy who used to cut to make 265 he was very light on his feet and agile. Given enough time to develop a decent striking game he could become a much bigger problem for anyone he's fighting. As it is his size, wrestling, and now his submissions from top control are things to worry about.
I guess I'm impressed by the fact that this guy just up and walked away from the WWE where he was making millions a year because he yearned for actual competition. As I said I don't like Brock Lesnar the character, the heel. I do however like a person with a drive that doesn't begin or end with dollar signs. Not that he's taking a huge paycut to fight in the UFC but the fact that he wanted to actually compete more than he wanted to make guaranteed money.
