UFC fans- Who do you have tonight? Lesnar or Mir?

Do you think Mir will get a easy leg bar again or will Lesnar destroy him much like he did in the first fight before getting barred?

I don't like UFC but I've been up close to Lesnar before and he's huge.. I'd say Lesnar with KO

Faust · Post by **Faust** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:47 pm

i voted Lesnar by KO. as much as i would like to see Miir win this, the odds are against it. he eeked around what was heading towards a serious beatdown last time.

if Miir had an iron jaw that would be one thing. he has shown he can be knocked out before, though. and Lesnar is a frickin monster. about as bright as a sack of hammers, but if even on of those knuckle sandwiches lands solidly, it's nappy-time.

last bout, Miir was on his way to another KO but capitalized on Lesnar's caveman approach. if he is gonna win, it has to be in that way. otherwise, Brock will K him the F out.

well again I don't care for UFC much but I did enjoy watchin Lesnar talk trash like he's always done no matter what he did. Loved the Coors beer comment he did while Bud Light was sponsoring the event.

henderson
gsp
lesnar

all in all it was an awesome ufc card

gsp is a world class athlete and has phenomenal talent. there is nobody left for him after the desecration of alves

Lesnar won as expected, nothing fantasic, but the post fight interview was entertaining! LOL

Loved Hendo's knockout of Bisping, I like both fighters but Bisping needed a reality check.

I think I'm bored with GSP, hes insanely talented but its like the same thing each fight. Just knock someone out, I want a devastating stoppage.

i agree on all counts. GSP is an effing machine. but, to make an obscure analogy..... it's like being a guitar player and watching someone like Yngwe Malmstien or Jason Becker play. you can only watch someone shred for so long before it gets kinda old.

i miss the days of no weight classes. i would like to see GSP and Anderson Silva fight. both are on top of their game and niether has, in their weight class, anybody who poses any threat whatsoever. and due to the weight difference, their normal and somewhat predictable approach would be out the window.

the reason i kinda dont like Lesnar is due to his intro to the sport. for years MMA has been trivialized by other sports/athletes. as has been demonstrated in the past, folks think they, as a professional football player or conventional boxer or whatever, can waltz into the sport and start telling people whats what...... only to have their asses handed to them. in Brock's case. he lost his intro fight to Miir, which made me happy. however, he has the sheer size and strength that, with proper training and discipline, are very hard to argue with. until another freak of nature with great training and an iron jaw comes along i think he'll be at the top for some time.

Wow, Lesnar is a class act.

shameful display, IMO. i think the last thing the UFC needs is that kind of disrespectful and over-the-top behavior. i appreciate the fact that in spite of the brutality of MMA the fighters can show respect, and act like a public/professional sports figure should.

theres a "sport" where the athletes are encouraged to act like a 15 year old punk. it's called 'rasslin'. id like to see the dickweeds stay over there and not contaminate a sport with actual substance. even though im not particularly fond of Dana White, i think he can see past the additional revenue he could make by appealing to the lowest common denominator, and wants to preserve the level of integrity among his fighters.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:02 pm

He apologized afterward, and even came to the podium with a bud light. BJ Penn once went over top a fighter he had finished off and wiped the blood from his face, and then licked it with cameras all over him. So what Brock did although in poor taste was nothing shocking. He gave the crowd the finger and talked some crap to mir who ran his mouth non stop before the fight taking jabs at lesnars WWE history and his win in the first fight.

I think it was cool. I mean Henderson smoked Bisping after he was clearly knocked cold, but that isnt front page news. (something that could have seriously injured bisping) -

Lesnar will never break the WWE stigma that he carries. The win over Mir did help though and that is why he lost control for a moment after winning. Sweet revenge to all the nay-sayers.

Faust · Post by **Faust** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:34 pm

well, ill admit im probably being too hash. however, the reason why lesnar is front page news is because he went well past poor sportsmanllike conduct and in a live broadcast craps on a primary sponsor. brock also came out and apologized only after dana white took him aside for a private conversation. on the other hand, adrenaline has at least once made most folks do or say something stupid, myself being one of them. its part of the process when ya get scorned for it

i just enjoy watching a fight where 2 guys come out, touch gloves, proceed to beat the dog**** out of each other, then congradulate each other after the fight. all the other stuff is superfluous.

you are also correct in what he brings to the fight, potential-wise. when all is said and done, its who was victorious that matters. kinda the whole point behind a fight

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 9:07 pm

I think Lesnar did great in WWE...it helped start him off and that's how he meet his wife. As for crapping on the sponsor....I thought it was funny and he prob got some cash from Coors for the shout out. He's allowed to say what he wishes regardless if it was Pepsi for a sponsor and he loved Coke. He also had every right to talk smack towards the other guy for all the crap he took on and off camera before that fight from him.

Respect is ok but ya gotta draw the line somewhere after someone has tried to hurt you in more ways than one....not to mention Respect is earned not givin and the other guy didn't show any towards Brock before the fight from what I saw, so no sense giving it afterward to him.

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 9:12 pm

The thing to remember is Brock is a baby in the sport. Sure hes 32 years old, but hes just getting started and has tons to learn. And yet at this early stage hes able to do alot just because of his power and 100 pound fists.

I'd like to see him improve for 10 or so fights and then take on Fedor.

absolutely. it will take either another freakish specimen (not meant to degrade the man's physique) to at least qualify as competition. he is still as vulnerable as any mortal is so occasional losses will happen. but as long as he grows beyond just being the heaviest hitter on the planet and matures in an ideal fashion, my vote will go to brock for the win. whether i like him as a person or not. if he can dump the 'rasslin' mentality i may even some day become a fan.

oh, my knickers arent in a twist over it at all. but if theres one thing i can assure you, when on the clock, marketing execs have no sense of humor. their company just forked over X amount of dollars and expect it to, at a minimum, work in their favor. saying you like coke when pepsi was the sponsor is one thing. saying that you like coke because pepsi doesnt pay you is another. not because its a statement of fact, but because you actively shed negativity upon their name. tbh after a few beers in me already, i got a chuckle out of it.

to quote brock, "Bud Light don't pay me nothing".

ok, they didnt write you a check. but you (directed at brock) do understand that in order for you to get your paycheck from your employer, they need to get checks from sponsors, yes? ppv revenue aside, the ability to sell ad space to sponsors is kinda important.

dont get me wrong, im not knocking your view on it, Sava. im just saying thats why the lesnar thing is front page news. beyond that i dont think it woulda made its way out of the Sports secion of the newspaper.

He is the way he is...but I didn't see much wrong with it and got a good laugh too. He signed a contract I'm sure and as long as it didn't go against it from what he said he got his money and could care less. He is the champ so there isn't much they can do to avoid him being in a main event so as long as he's winning he can pretty much say and do as he wishes.
