Brock lesnar and UFC 100
First off, how many of you guys like Brock? I think this guy is a ******* monster and he's only going to get better. Lots of people love to hate him, and I can understand why. But as far as in the ring goes, this guy is ******* unreal with his size, power, and speed. Maybe he was a little over the top at the end, but he did come from WWE.
Secondly, how many of you guys caught that $100k knock out of the night by Dan henderson? I was so happy he took out bisping and totally loved the "shut up" smash at the end of the fight.
I wish I could link videos to the fight, but I cant seem to find any.....

He does have a big head, no doubt about that.

I really hoped Brock would get his face stomped in, but I sure the **** didn't think Mir had a remote chance in hell. If Mir walked around at 325 pounds like Lesnar does it would've been a different story, but I bet Brock had easily 75 on Frank.
Watching him freak out after the fight, spitting his mouth piece at the camera and slobbering all over the place... looked like a rabid dog on a serious roid rage episode, and I think they should've tested his **** myself.. Thats just me.

Yeah.....lol. I was thinking the same thing. He might?

300 lbs on top of his wife? LOL
I'm not so sure Fedor would beat him. Fedor's 230 lbs.
Yup Brock's the real thing; acts like a WWE clown, but I don't hate him. I was laughing at his speech too.
I think he'll learn from this and clean up his act.
Not a fan either, but I don't think there's anyone who could consistently beat him.
As an athlete there's a lot about him that's admirable.
Perhaps the UFC needs to split the heavyweight division at 250 lbs. So there's a 225-250 lb division, and 250+ lbs. However that means Brock will have few opponents, and may have to come down to 250 to have more fights.

Here's the post fight interview where Brock apologizes. It's true though, he came from pro wrestling and I'm sure some of that panache carries over.

i honestly can't stand Frank mir's face. he always has that cocky little smirk on his face just makes me wanna hit him......luckily lesnar did that for me lol.
I kinda wanted Bisping to win actually but i didn't particularly care, henderson landed an awesome punch and knocked him back to the 2nd grade lol
GSP dominated Alves all night, and unless he said something about his groin (which he kinda said comically) no one would have ever known
was a good 3 fights an i thoroughly enjoyed it lol

Henderson is a ******* brick. He said the second punch was to shut Bisping up. He knew Bisping was out, he talked about it right after the fight.
I agree that the heavyweights need to be split up. Brock is monster and shouldn't be fighting guys at Mir's size.
I was reading online about all the possible match ups they might have for Brock and some of those guys look like they would actually have a chance to take him out, but I still doubt it. Shaq said he's been training MMA for the past 10 years and wants a shot at Brock! I would love to see Brock freight train Shaq into the ground and just hammer fist his face for an entire round!

Brock was shown, with a Bud Light in hand, at a post fight interview and apologized for his behavior.
That being said, I think he runs a serious risk of devolving UFC into a WWF mentality. Dana White has done a good job (thus far) of marketing the sport. But there has been an increase in "smack talk" that isn't necessary to propogate the UFC or MMA in general.
Lesner should be in a super-heavy weight division, but until one is developed, will be a force to reckon with. However, he is not invincible.
As to Henderson/Bisping, great knock-out and the flying-ninja-squirrel-strike-of-death was rewarded by White in the form of a $100K bonus.

This should be good

I still bet Brock would ******* destroy him, bare knuckled or not.

Frank Mir didn't cut weight for the weigh in (~24 hrs before the fight), so on fight night he was 235. Lesnar like most other fighters, had to cut weight to the max of the division, which is 265 lbs for heavyweights. So at the fight he may have been 290 lbs.
Muscular athletes can cut 15-20 lbs (maybe 25 lbs for Brock) by dehydrating defore the weigh in, then rehydrate the weight back for the fight:

Here's an interesting insight into St. Pierre's and his trainer Greg Jackson's game plan:

BTW has anyone seen an analysis on how Alves was able to keep getting up from under GSP?
