Tonight was the night ladies and gentlemen, that the big event took place,
With my man brock lesnar taking on frank mir. Brock lesnar beat he crap out
of frank mir, knocking mir out in the second round to win the heavywieght
championship. Now i said it a hundred times that this would happen and
indeed it happened, just like i said it would, but i didnt think mir would make it
out of the first round so props to him. GSP made tiago alves look like an
amatuer, keeping his belt, and making the number on ranked welter wieght
look rather silly. Micheal bisping put a whooping on dan henderson like i
figured would happen, dispatching of henderson fairly easily. I just dont think
ol dan has the fire in him anymore to put up a all out war. Mark colemn
actually showed up after all this time, and won against stephen bonar in a
good match.
I am so happy to see brock when his grudge make, plus I made a perty penny
off all the naysayers, the ones who kept saying brock cant do it, he dont
have experience this, he dont have that, he is just all show and needs to go
back too wwf. Well folks, brock lesnar is here to stay and he made a
statement loud and clear tonight against frank mir. Mir simply stood there in
the corner cowering, will brock was still talking trash. I dont think mir even
knew exactly where he was after that brutal beating. Frank and brock had
been both talking trash about each other for months but when it came time
to walk the walk mir got smash, I got my respect in my UFC opinion and its all
good. For those of you guys that didnt watch it yet that are fans of the
UFC, yall gotta see this. It was worth every penny.

all i got to say is that was the best $55 i ever spent in my life. better then winning a $55 mtt. i am the happiest man in the world . michael bisping got knocked the f uk out. thats for athe trash he talked on TUF9. hes a no body now. targetguy was that the best knockout or what. me and my buddies cheered so loud that my neighbor came by to see if we were ok. she said she thought it sounded like i was fighting. lol fighting. i told her i was watching the UFC and she said wow sounded like i had ufc in my living room. lol well this is to michael "i got my clocked clean by dan" bisping hows it feel to get your mouth shut? dude he should have never opened his mouth. u know how embarrased he has to feel today. that guy didnt wake up for like 3 minutes. he was out cold. and i really like the last punch when bisping was already out. call it a cheap shot but the ref didnt stop it. dan's reply to why he hit him was a classic. "that was to shut him the up" good job dan your my hero. all the other fights were good. John Fitch takes the win. hes the man. as for gsp i think he needs to move up and face anderson silva. other foghts were ah ok. mir got his butt whooped. but i think all brock did was lay on him with his weight and punched his face off. did u see lesnars face he looked like a mad cartooon character. many goos fights and definetly worth the money.

brock won but still i not sold on him yet. Brock is just and oversize gsp. just
lays on people and hit them a few times. wait til its about to get stood back
up and move a little and hit again in the face some more. yes mir's face was
****ed up but i think mir would kill him standing up. brock has a glass jaw
and he knows it. mir hit him with a couple good knee that to me look like it
stunned brock. notice the last time on the ground brock took forever to make
a move. at that point he was either some what hurt or just waiting. i think
he was hurt but was on top of mir so he knew mir was going nowhere so he
waited to the ref gave him a warning that to do something or they were
going to stand back up. at that point mir was in a bad spot against the cage
and brock just finished there. i think when fedor comes to the ufc if he does
we will see how good brock really is.
brock also proved how freaking dumb he is and need to remeber he isnt in the
circus (WWE) anymore. how can you dog a sponcer for your company you
fight for? all because they wouldnt pay you to wear their logo? if you seen
post fight interviews and no not the one in the ring but the press style brock
changed his views on what he said after the fight. dana white tore him a
new *** after his fight. it was reported that they went into the brock
bathroom and talked but dana couldnt of been to please with brocks words
after the fight and put him in his place. anyways sorry about spending so
much time on one fight but the others where great too but this is the one
that got me worked up the most. dan henderson is the fing man. i knew he
would shut up that idiot. as for the so called cheap shot? i dont see it as
that. the ref should of been closer to the action and stopped it from
happening. when your in the cage and go the mojo flowing its just nature to
keep going til the bell or the ref stops u.

well i didnt say it was but u know the people from the UK will. anyways i really enjoyed and brock lesnar has no class. simple as that. but as for all the fights they were good. i have ordered it in the past and was disappointed i bought it and no good fights or only a undercard would have a good fight. so all in all it was a good night i drnak like a 12 pack and had lots of smoke. good times.

Oh dude, Bisbing didnt get knocked out, he got knocked the F**K out TWICE. I didnt see the actual pay per view, but i saw the highlights. He clonks him once, and hes obviously out and on the ground, then he comes down on him with a freggin hammer fist and buries his head into the mat. (on a different note: ive fought in mma and i know a few mma fighters, and this hitting a guy when hes obviously knocked out is bull. I guess these overgrown monkey men, dont realize the amount of damage you can do to someone if you hit them when theyre KNOCKED OUT. The chances of brain trauma dramatically increase when the person cant brace for impact. It irritate me to an insane degree when fighter do that.. its quite indicitive of lack of intelligence and control....) Anyways as for the lesnar fight... I cant even believe that Mir took him down in the first fight. He pretty much got beat up until they hit the ground, threw the ankle lock and got the W. This fight was the way it shouldve been. Lesnar is a monster, i dont know who in the UFC would want to fight, or even fight him. Mir got owned, but mad props for even fighting him, AGAIN. I just wish that these overgrown monkeys would show a little discipline and grace, and not hit an opponent who is obviously done....

Brock leasnar is the way he is because people dont give him respect. If
everyone wouldnt badger the poor guy with every steriod accusation out
there and constantly put him down becuase he was a wwc/wwf wrestler,
then maybe he would be a little more friendly. I would be the same way if I
always had some pencil neck reporter asking me, SO, Brock Is it true that
you take steriods? That has to light brocks fire every time, becuase when he
has worked as hard as he has to get to were he is at athletically, that has
got to be a slap in the face. just imagine someone walking up to you every
day all day and slapping you in the face. Thats brock lesnar.

No offence, but i find the UFC a bit boring. They always just fall down after 30 seconds and wrestle a bit till someone gets a spot to smack the other one and does.
If they stayed on their feet for the entire time, and still smacked the crap out of each other, id watch it more

That spawns some bad blood.

so happy that guy got knocked out. its about time he got shut up. And lesner is just a beast. one of those guys you don't want walking behind you in a dark alley. imagine what a punch from that man feels like. Steroids or not (i like to think he;s all natural) he will hold that belt for a very very long time.

He will hold the as long as Fedor stay out of the UFC. Like i said before
Fedor is a freaking beast and considered the best pound for pound fighter in
the world. With that being said the best heavyweight in the world. The thing
is brock weighs in at 265lbs which is the limit for heavyweights in the UFC.
The guy walks around 300-300lbs+. They weight in the day before so these
guys that do lose the weight can get their bodys somewhat back to normal
before they fight. i know he isnt packing on the pounds in one day but if you
ever watch the weight-in, the guys who had to lose the pounds, as soon as
they get off the scale they are drinking tons of water and who knows what
they are eating afterwards. i going to find some Fedor fights and let yall
judge him since most of you havnt heard of him. i know globug has heard of
Fedor.

Lesner almost got caught a bunch of times the other night but just used his strength to get out of them. Seems much quicker than brock thats for damn sure. gonna keep on watching some more and see what more this guy can do

right now he has one fight left on his contract with Affliction. He is fighting
Former UFC Champ Josh Barnett. After that fight his contract is up and Dana
White has flirted with the idea of him coming to the UFC and fight Brock for
the title. Fedors last fight he KO'ed Andrei Arlovski in the first round. Yes he
fights in the heavyweight class so yes he will be in the same divison as
brock. If he does come to the UFC it wont be until the end of the year. If all
this happen i predict they fight around june or july next year.

Well i just read Brock's next fight with be the winner at UFC104 between
Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez. Both fighters have not lost a fight yet so
should be a good one. Shane is more llike brock's size but Cain has been
doing an good job too except his last fight against Kongo but he still got the
W and remains with 0 loses.

Brock fought a great fight and as far as the fight goes your right he destroyed him.But he lost alot of fans and my respect with the way he acted after the fight was all over.He destroyed mir now he has to point his finger in mirs face and keep running his mouth.Mir would of never acted like that.Brock showed everyone exactly what roids do to someone.He will be the next one to snap and hurt or kill someone outside the ring.he also didnt help his wallet out saying he was going to drink a coors lite because bud lite wont give him any money. Maybe because they see He has no self control.I was a Brock Lestner fan until this fight.

u really think he is good. he has no other game besides ground and pound. i agree he is good at it but he hasnt proved anything. there arent really any fighters in the heavyweight class that can match his size. he already has a advantage on anyone by being big. like 50 to 75lbs big. he hasnt anyones respect. he has definetly lost some if he had any. the guys sucks. he is just part of danas cash cow mythology. it has paid off. dana knew the heavyweights were a weak group so he gave him lots of cash and gave him a title chance in his 1st fight. that dont sound right to those guys who were fighting b4 him and deserved the right to fight for one before he did. but that just tells u how weak that wight category it. once randy retired dana couldnt get fedor so he went after brock. look now he has kimbo in the ring for TUF 10 well back in the day dana said he would never let kimbo fight in the UFC but he decided not to let him in like brock but to build more ratings for the TUF and let him earn his way in the UFC. its all business. brock is a piece fo ****. u see how dana made him drink a bud light at his post fight deal. u know who wears the pants in that realtionship. lol well for all you brock lovers. he just sucks. no skill or nothing. his game is to lay on people with weight and pound em. anyone can do that at that size. not to hard.

saw this artical and carwin is gonna crush lesner
Maybe it was because, at 6-foot-3, 263 pounds, Shane Carwin is nearly the same size as, and actually has bigger meat hooks than, Brock Lesnar.
Maybe it was just a savvy promotional move for Carwin, an unbeaten, top contender for Lesnar’s Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight belt.
Or maybe the “Colossus from Colorado” really was so outraged at Lesnar’s antics at UFC 100 he couldn’t contain himself.
Whatever it was, Carwin pulled no punches on his personal blog, hammering Lesnar for taunting a fallen opponent, tossing middle fingers at the Mandalay Bay Events Center crowd in Las Vegas and acting like anything but a respectful champion Saturday. After a stern talking to by UFC president Dana White, Lesnar apologized for his actions. Carwin was apparently unmoved (he didn’t return a message seeking comment).
“The flipping off of the fans that just lined your pocket with millions of dollars is just LAME,” Carwin wrote. “He may be a champion but he has a long ways to go before he earns the respect of a champion.”
It got better, with the old school Carwin, who sports an 11-0 record, lecturing Lesnar like he was a little boy.
“The fans are why we do this Brock, this sport is not about fat paychecks and drama. It is about hard work and sacrifice for a shot to do what you did [Saturday] night. It doesn’t matter how much money you make if you can’t earn your peers respect and the respect and love of the greatest sporting fans in the world.
“Every autograph I give, every hand I shake I am thankful that you give me the opportunity to be a part of your world. This is the greatest sport in the world and most of the athletes in it deserve the love and respect they get and some just don’t get it.”
The mechanical engineer wasn’t done yet. Next up, a shot at Lesnar’s pro wrestling background.
“We have no scripts in this sport, no pre-determined earning amount and no pre-determined outcomes. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose; it matters how you win or lose.”
And to think Lesnar couldn’t deal with Frank Mir making fun of his jiu-jitsu defense (which was once, admittedly, weak). This alone will fuel him through a long Minnesota winter of training. And who knows what else Carwin has in him?
ADVERTISEMENT
Carwin takes on Cain Velasquez (6-0) in October at UFC 104 in Los Angeles. The winner gets a shot at Lesnar for the title, White has announced.
If it’s Carwin (no small feat against the excellent Velasquez) then this wouldn’t just be an intriguing fight, but suddenly a personal one. Carwin, like Lesnar, is a former collegiate wrestling champion. They’re about the same size; although Carwin’s massive 5-XL gloves are actually two sizes larger than Lesnar’s. It’s one reason none of Carwin’s opponents have lasted past the middle of the first round.
Which is good because the indomitable way Lesnar has looked of late, it’s going to take a special mix of size, speed and skill to challenge him. And he’s only getting better.
Carwin doesn’t sound concerned. Not about Lesnar and not about rattling his cage. His rip job will be appreciated in traditional mixed martial arts, where discipline and respect for an opponent is still paramount.
Since arriving from pro wrestling, Lesnar has expressed little concern for such things. That’s his right and it’ll earn him plenty of supporters who love every second of it. If he wants to sneer and snarl, if he wants postfight interviews complete with sponsor bashing, cheesy histrionics and juvenile statements, there’s only one way to stop him.
“From leaving the venue all the way to the airport I have had fans of the sport ask me to take out Brock Lesnar for them,” Carwin wrote.
The UFC will focus on pursuing the world’s No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko (30-1), who is approaching his final contracted fight with the UFC’s rival promotion, Affliction. That takes place Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif.
“We’ll end up getting that deal done and then we’ll do Brock vs. Fedor and we’ll do a huge fight,” White said.
Time will tell on that. In the interim, a contender is waiting to earn his shot and then possibly take the trash talk to a whole new level. That’s what Brock Lesnar has brought to the UFC, visceral reactions all around.
Some loathe him. Some love him. Everyone wants to see what happens next, a string of big pay-per-view cards almost all but assured.
Now here comes a sizeable challenger, issuing preemptive blog posts and lectures to the champion on sportsmanship, humility and class.
Shane Carwin is itching for a fight. You can rest assured, after this, Big Brock will be too.

Since arriving from pro wrestling, Lesnar has expressed little concern for such things. That’s his right and it’ll earn him plenty of supporters who love every second of it. If he wants to sneer and snarl, if he wants postfight interviews complete with sponsor bashing, cheesy histrionics and juvenile statements, there’s only one way to stop him.
“From leaving the venue all the way to the airport I have had fans of the sport ask me to take out Brock Lesnar for them,” Carwin wrote.
The UFC will focus on pursuing the world’s No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko (30-1), who is approaching his final contracted fight with the UFC’s rival promotion, Affliction. That takes place Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif.
“We’ll end up getting that deal done and then we’ll do Brock vs. Fedor and we’ll do a huge fight,” White said.
Time will tell on that. In the interim, a contender is waiting to earn his shot and then possibly take the trash talk to a whole new level. That’s what Brock Lesnar has brought to the UFC, visceral reactions all around.
Some loathe him. Some love him. Everyone wants to see what happens next, a string of big pay-per-view cards almost all but assured.
Now here comes a sizeable challenger, issuing preemptive blog posts and lectures to the champion on sportsmanship, humility and class.
Shane Carwin is itching for a fight. You can rest assured, after this, Big Brock will be too.
next time just copy the link not the article. copying and pasting the article is the same as spamming.
