I'm glad Hendo won so convincingly, he's one of my all-time favorite fighters, along with Fitch. Would have liked to see GSP lose, but I don't know who could make that happen.

My only real disappointment was Mir's loss, though I expected it.

I-Drop Privateer

All my picks came out right!!!!!! Mir didn't really have this standup advantage he was talking so much about. He got full of himself after he outboxed "never hard to hit" Nog. Brock was outstriking Mir the last time they fought as well. Brock won me $50 tonight.

Unfortunately, Mir opted to train his [b]flying knee instead of his wrestling. I mean it makes sense. Wrestling would only enabled him to keep the fight standing where he has a distinct advantage. Who needs tactical advantages when you have the flying knee!!!

****ING MIR!!!!! RAAAH!!!!!

****! [/B]

He probably thought he could just submit Brock if it went to the ground.

so I'm guessing brock basically did the same thing as last time and started pounding on his head while on the ground except without out getting submitted?

Just saw it. Jeeezus! Hendo's right hand is a ****ing war crime! I don't like Bisping too much, but I felt sorry 4him after that. That shit took 100% of his life bar. 🙂

Anyone impressed with the Coleman outcome?

Wow! At that age, and he apparently bloodied up Bonnar.

Quite happy Hendo won, after all the shit that prick Bisping was talking.

Because most UFC fans don't like a former 'show-wrestler' taking over their 'serious' sport. I don't really care that much for the heavyweight division and I'm not even that big of a fan of MMA in general, so I don't care personally.

Most fans dont like the fact that he was a big "fake" wrestling star and now he is the heavyweight champ. Plus he beat Randy Couture which the fans love. I like that Brock likes being the bad guy. I thought it was cool that he flipped the fans for booing him.

Fedor vs Brock is for real this time in UFC.

Dana White says Fedor Emelianenko will fight in the UFC, Brock Lesnar fight imminent
by Dann Stupp on Jul 12, 2009 at 5:30 am ET
Prior to this past Saturday's UFC 100 event, an underground movement took root and called for mixed-martial-arts fan who would attend the show to begin "Fedor!" chants throughout the night.

The thought, of course, was to make UFC executives well aware of the fans' desire to have Fedor Emelianenko, the world's top-ranked heavyweight and arguably the greatest MMA fighter in the division's history, fighting in the octagon.

The chants were never heard, but after UFC 100, UFC President Dana White said he wants Emelianenko in the UFC, that it's eventually going to happen, and that a fight with Brock Lesnar is imminent

guy222 With my gal

Who should Brock fight next

Fedor won't sign a six fight contract. Lorzeno says thats the only thing holding them back, and the fact that Fedor wants to compete back home in the Sambo tournaments.

UFC wants Fedor exclusively.

Brock is so damn strong! It was like watching an adult fight against a little kid, he was just too strong for Mir.

His stand up is still suspect. He has power, but 0 head movement.

Once he works on that, he'll be unstoppable.

UFC is working hard to get Fedor Emelianenko into the octagon. It's going to be difficult though.

Josh Barnett would be great addition as well.

Does anybody think Lesnar could even get by Emilianenko, though?

The whole reason I thought Mir would take him was because of his improved striking game, why didn't he use it?

I agree. Unfortunately, he forgot that grappling from the bottom is difficult when a school bus is parked on top of you.

Yep. Mir managed to land that flying knee though.

RAH! MIR!! ****!

I am. Honestly, I felt Coleman had no chance against Bonnar. Good showing for Coleman.

Brock is a douche bag of a rather large variety.

It has much more to do with the issue of Brock being a douche. His behavior is rather inconsistent with the favored image of a martial arts champion. The audience's disdain for him is no different than their disdain for Bisping, Arona, and their ilk. Historically, fans dislike douche bags. We are strange like that.

Also, Dr. Leg Kick is right. Fans usually root for the hometown fighter. Mir is from Las Vegas.

Shane Carwin is likely next in line.

It's difficult to strike against wrestlers of superb caliber.

Look at Liddell vs Randleman. Liddell was hesitant with his strikes, cuz he knew Randleman could take him down easily in straight wrestling. Same with Mir and Lesnar. I dont know how much Lesnar's chin has been tested, but that knee Mir threw last night rocked Lesnar in my opinion. He laid on top of Mir to gain back his composure.

Lesnar has turned into a patient fighter.

As for Fedor, it would be a tough fight. Fedor's boxing is superior, no question, but Brock has that one punch KO. I don't know what to expect.

I'd say Fedor via KO.
