Brock Lesnar vs. JDS: TUF 13 on Spike TV—More Miscellaneous Thoughts

More stream of consciousness time:

—What’s the protocol during a staredown? Is it over whenever you break eye contact? Is it over when one guy drops his fists? Do you “win” if your opponent breaks the engagement first? Because I wouldn’t stay rooted there for too long and it’s got nothing to do with intimidation.

Call me crazy, but there’s something creepy about staring indefinitely into another man’s eyes.

—Chris Cope is another one who looks more like contestant than combatant thus far, but everyone handles the stress of the spotlight differently so the jury’s still out. Nevertheless, if I were a betting man, I’d take Javier “El Chunty Boy” Torres (though it’s got nothing to do with the shakes Cope exhibited or Torres’ nickname—I don’t know what “El Chunty” means, but I’m not sure it matters).

—Assistant coach Lew Polly basically annihilates Cope in the span of 10 seconds—part-time fighter, not committed, glaring weaknesses...these are not adjectives you want attached to your person by someone who knows you personally. Not if you find yourself trying to qualify for the UFC.
