UFC 100 results from last night and recap for 'Lesnar vs Mir'

UFC 100 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 11, has come to a close.
The promotion's historic event went into Saturday night without a subtitle, but after witnessing the brutality of Dan Henderson and Brock Lesnar, the event could have been aptly titled "No Remorse."
Heading into the main event rematch with UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, Interim title holder Frank Mir had become something of an American Michael Bisping -- at times so cocky and arrogant that it was starting to sound more like defensive posturing and less like genuine confidence.
Whatever it was, it didn't do much good, as the pasty-face goliath ran roughshod over the Las Vegas-based jiu-jitsu black belt, improving what he did right in their first encounter at UFC 81 and eliminating the old mistakes that saw him tap in their first go-round.
Mir gave the crowd a few butterflies with a perfectly-timed jumping knee, but it was far little, far too late against the wrestling of the former NCAA heavyweight champion. Lesnar was neither flashy nor flagrant, taking Mir down and controlling his limbs to create space and pound at will.
In fact by the end of the first round, Mir's face started to looked like Cinderella's coach just after turning into a pumpkin.
Following the gruesome second round stoppage, Lesnar took over in the trash-talking department, flipping off the unappreciative crowd and jawing a battered Mir. While it certainly resembled his glory days in the WWE, a small part of me enjoyed the heat Lesnar brought on himself as he elevated his status to most despised champion in UFC history.
Kind of makes you long for the days of ol' Tim-eh, eh?
I'll bet Michael Bisping longs for the days of TUF, so he could retract some of that silliness he was spewing about knocking out the immortal Dan Henderson. There was a lot of talk about Hendo's fading star coming into his fight with "The Count," but his brutal knockout over the British posterboy was probably the stiffest stoppage since Nate Quarry went rigid at UFC 56.
Hendo never gave the TUF 3 champ an opportunity to get things going. The Greco-Roman ravager stalked Bisping and lured him into the danger zone and used what may be the knockout of the century to air-mail the frozen Pondsman back to his homeland.
And Henderson seemed to enjoy the opportunity to silence him. He remarked in his post fight interview that a second shot to the downed Brit was a little lesson in humility.
Remind me not to say anything negative about "Hollywood" in future columns.
One person I can't say anything negative about is Georges St. Pierre. In a fight that I had pegged him to lose, "Rush" laughed off the feared offense of Thiago Alves with a brilliant gameplan of staying outside the pocket and using his incomparable wrestling to stymie the hulking Brazilian.
Credit to Alves, who despite a difficult weight cut was as fresh and as powerful in round five as he was in round one. Although "Pitbull" was always a threat on his feet, he quickly learned that this division is owned by St. Pierre -- everyone else is just a tenant.
Anyone complaining the win was boring needs to go back to MMA 101. In spite of a third round groin injury, the Canadian crusader developed a gameplan and executed that gameplan for five rounds without fail, using both aggression and dominance. The winner of Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick is now next in line for the title.
Pity them.
Speaking of pity, Alan Belcher didn't seem to have any for the sexiness of Yoshihiro Akiyama. Hitting Grandmaster Sexy in the junk is like kicking "The Flash" in the shins. Don't mess with a guy's livelihood.
Maybe Akiyama can use that as an excuse for running out of gas by the second round. Despite his split-decision win, it's infuriating as a fan to watch two guys go limp so early in a fight, effectively robbing the fans of any technique and turning it into a sloppy brawl that boils down to which winded zombie lands first.
One thing that wasn't first was the bout between Jon Fitch and Paulo Thiago. In fact it wasn't second, third or fourth, either.
That's because the son-of-a-Fitch was relegated to a dark match, outpointing his Brazilian foe after surviving a submission scare early in round one. Fitch now has his revenge for the fallen Josh Koscheck and the UFC (once again) has its revenge on Fitch's right to choose.
Overall UFC 100 delivered, and while there were no televised submissions, for the most part there was a little something for everyone. Even the bloodthirsty drunks who chant USA! USA! can now place an 8x10 of Dan Henderson on their desk at work.

What was up with the fitch fight… I’m still pissed about that one.
Also John G and Namenotrequired… sit waiting for your Alves and Paulo perdictions to come true and yes we’re still waiting…
What a great night, my only wrong pick was ’sexy’ama. Not too bad. Great to see Mur get smashed, not that it was a surprise but still all the better after he kept running his mouth.
Finally to run onto Kevin, Fedor is the only man capable of ending Brocks run as champ, outside of an improved Cain and no shane doesn’t have the KO power or speed to end brock….

i will never forget the flying superman punch to his limp body and he says after the match " im not that kinda fighter but i did the second shot to shut his mouth a little bit"……..i knew bisping was going to lose as soon as they clinched in the first, you could tell he was fighting tired and without as much confidence

VM: when I saw that Bomb land on Bisping’s chin, all I could think about was how happy you must have been buddy!
Arnold: when exactly did you ever see offer a prediction for the Paolo fight? Everytime that fight was mentioned all i said was that I know NOTHING about Paolo, so I wont be offering any predictions. WOW, you are so smart. yOU picked GSP to win, NO ONE EXCEPT YOU SAW that one coming, right? GIve me a break.
THere is NO SHAME in any fighter losing to GSP, but I will say that I felt cheated out of last nights fight because my boy Alves didnt really show up to fight. I know a lot of that has to do with gSP, but as great as GSP is, Alves could have done better. I thought the nerves got to him a little bit. nOt bad though for his 1st title shot against a top p4p Machine. He managed to go 5 rounds for the 1st time ever. He was in great shape, and answered some conditioning questions.
The UFC needs to scratch the Condit/Lytle fight and book:
Alves vs. Condit. THats a Muy Tai war for the ages!
AS for GSP, I hate to say it, but I was kind of bored during last nights fight. It was a masterful performance, but I expect so much more out of a GSP fight. Joe rogan said it best, GSP might have to retire. Unless he abandons his GNP style, and starts striking again, no one even has a shot at beating him. i mean, is anyone really interesting in seeing gSP vs. either Kampman or Swick? Im sure not! GSP wont feel comfortable enough to stand with either of them, and neither can stop his takedowns….so I really dont see the point of booking GSP against either of them, but I guess he has to fight someone. Still his next fight will look exactly last nights fight….I cant say, I CANT WAIT TO SEE GSP FIGHT AGAIN! IMO, he needs to immediately announce his retirment from the welterweight division, vacate his title, take 6 months off to properly gain weight and permanently move up to middleweight. THere is NO POINT in him staying in the welterweight division. He wont stand with ANYONE anymore, and no one will ever be able to stop his takedowns, and he wont be caught in a submission anytime soon, so whats really the point? Retire from the welterweight division, go down as the greatest welterweight in history, and start challenging yourself in the middleweight division!

thanx dan henderson for showing everyone you are not that old. i said all along bisping couldn’t pepper him and keep dan away. losing to 2 champions who were probably at their best and both top ten p4p fighters does not mean you are washed up, silva is no 2 p4p. good job not stopping til the ref stops you. always have and always will be a fan of dangerous dan hollywood henderson.

John- you are a trip. Thiago showed up to fight. Didn’t you see him stalking around the octagon before the fight. He was hyped and ready to go but he was NEUTRALIZED! But you are right in fighting either Kampmann or Swick we have a Leites-like drop competition and it’s a pointless fight. There is nothing left for him at WW.

I’m a little surprised people aren’t giving GSP more credit for his striking last night. He completely took Alves out of his rhythm with jabs and leg kicks and used superior footwork to dart in and out of Alves’ range.
He stood with Alves for good chunks of every round, John. Of couse he’s not going to have a straight kickboxing match with a kickboxer when he has the wrestling and top game to take Alves out of his element. I would have liked to see a finish, but I don’t see how GSP can be criticized for his performance. He gave Alves the chance to hurt him standing up and Alves couldn’t do it. GSP owned the stand-up.
I went 5-for-5 on main card picks as per usual last night, but the Bonnar and Dollaway results on the undercard hurt my parlay pretty bad.

I was so impressed with GSP, right now he is on another level. I honestly thought that Alves had the best chance of beating GSP because of his improved takedown defence and his brutal muay thai but when GSP easily took him down on his first attempt I knew that this was going to be a long night for Thiago. He has a lot to work on but still has a great future.
As for GSP, he’s too good at WW, there’s nobody in the UFC who I want to see him face at this weight class because nobody would be competetive. I’d love to see Shields and Diaz in the UFC but until then GSP is stuck with the likes of Swick and Kampmann, good fighters but not on his level. Right now GSP needs to take some time off to recover, then bulk up and fight at MW. A dream fight with Anderson has suddenly become a possibility.
Brock was devastating, he not only beat but destroyed Mir, the crowd was pretty pathetic by demanding the fight to be stood up when Lesnar was doing a lot of damage, but Brock sure shut them and Mir up. Vicious G&P, Lesnar looks unstoppable right now. He was far more patient than in his earlier fights and looked for the right time to takedown Frank. Faultless from Lesnar, only Cain and Carwin have a shot at beating him in the UFC. I agree with Kevin, Fedor-Brock has to happen.
The Fitch fight was pretty boring, other than Thiago’s submission attempts and Fitch’s takedowns nothing really happened. To me Fitch looks like the same fighter that he was when GSP destroyed him. He really needs to work on his finishing abilities because he’s turning into a WW Clay Guida. It’s a good job that fight was thrown on last when my mate had already fallen asleep, I have been trying to convert him to MMA for a long time and if this fight was on first instead of Sexyama-Belcher he wouldn’t have let me hear the end of it.

GSP is the man. JOhn G- If you pick against him every single time, I guess eventually you are bound to be right, and I’m sure you’ll be like “I’ll told you so!”. We’ll just have to remember that you’ve been wrong every other freaking time. Saying Thiago didn’t show up is rediculous. GSP fought w/ 1 elbow last night and still dominated. Thiago’s face probably looks real pretty today :).

I would have liked to see a finish but Thiago had no answers for GSP on the feet or ground.
I was impressed how Thiago was able to get back up the times he did, but he was not winning the fight anywhere, he got picked apart on the feet and controlled and gnp’d on the ground.
I think Thiago will come back stronger after a couple wins though.

John…… shut up, bro.
Seriously, I’m now realizing just how much a biased and emotion controlled person you are. At this point they could have GSP fight Tom Cruise and you would still pick against him. At some point you need to start looking at fights in a more objective sense because this “picking against fighters cause you don’t like them and not based on likelihood of them losing” shit has got to go. Your as bad as BJ when you keep making excuses like “that wasn’t the real Thiago, tho. Guys… guys? It wasn’t the real Thiago. GSP isn’t actually that good.”
Pathetic because the fact that GSP fought with two injuries, one of which greatly inhibiting his right arm and the other inhibiting his move speed while experiencing extreme pain in his groin and STILL dominating the bigger stronger guy shows nothing more than your close minded judgements need to change at least about this fighter…Seriously.

Can you read, you dislexic FOCK? GSP is one of my favorite fighters on earth you moron. and I dont pick fights based on who will win…I pick fights based on who I will bet, and that is more dictated by the odds then the match ups, you focking troll. if you knew me you would realize that I dont even make predictions on all the fights. YOu wont find many threads where I just list who I think will win out of every fight on the card, why cause I dont give a crap about looking right or wrong in your eyes. I am a big mma gambler, and I only concern myself with fights I will bet on….and I took a financial beating last night, do you honestly think I am concerned with an idiot like you that cant even read thinks about me? YOu are bashing me, when you dont realize how big of a GSP fan I am. I bet on GSP against Fitch, Serra, Hughes in all 3 fights, but you get bent out of shape because when I considered the odds, I liked Alves and BJ’s chances? EAT A D*CK with AIDS ON THE TIP!
u guys are retarded. I picked against GSP twice in his entire career. TWICE! I was picking gSP to win against HUghes back in 04, when the only fighter you probably knew about was Matt Hughes. GSP is at the top of the ladder, which means everyone of his fights will be against top dogs. I am a big GSP fan, you call me a hater cause I pick the#2 welterweight in the world and the lightweight champion to beat him? Had GSP lost his last 2 fighst against Penn and Alves, would that make GSP less of a fighter? Of course NOT! He is FOCKING amazing, and a class act. But a cock slurper like you gets all bent out of shape cause I liked the #2 contender, who happens to be my #2 favorite fighter to beat him? FOCK OFF!
I didnt take anything away from GSP’s win, by saying that wasnt the real thiago. I said, that Alves could have performed better. He threw NO combinations, and he didnt try to time any knees when GSP shot for take downs. He was afraid to throw leg kicks, for fear of being taken down, but he was taken down at will anyway so he should have tried to batter GSP’s legs. much of that has to do with gSP taking him out of his comfort zone
I thought Alves could keep the fight standing, and thats PRIMARILY why I felt it was worth the risk, betting money on Alves as a big underdog. If I had a crystal ball and knew that GSP would take him down at will, I obviously wouldnt have made that bet. GSP was as efficient and as effective last night as a fighter can get. Like I said, it was truly a masterful performance, but there is no doubt in my mind that Alves could have made it a better fight….thats all I was saying!
I guess when you called me a GSP hater, you missed the entire paragraphs where I state that he is so damn good that he should retire from the WW division, cause NO ONE will beat him!
Learn to interpret the actual words that you read buddy!

Haha. John’s on the warpath. Awesome. Way to stick up for yourself, John!
And you’re right, dude, GSP might not have any big challenges at 170 for a while – but that doesn’t mean he can’t stay at WW and clean out the division. Guys will come up and establish themselves and give him a real challenge. He is young and the sport is constantly evolving so he’ll get tested again.
GSP at middleweight concerns me a little. There are some huge guys who cut to 185 … and we all know hard it is to stay conscious against Anderson Silva.

Is your gambling addiction the reason that the only way you can make a defensive argument is by using verbal assaults with cussing. Personal attacks on a fucking blog does nothing but degrade your argument and make you look like a complete idiot. Look at how messed up you have become simply because you realize that most people have started to turn against you because they view your posts the same way that I have. I hope you take the time to realize that people don’t take you seriously anymore and your last ditch effort to defend yourself is by a verbal assault including the most fucked up insults I’ve ever heard. You better hope nobody on this site has a family member or friend with AIDS because you’ve lost a lot of support by stooping that low to begin with. There’s a lot of people on this site that are writing comments like mine. You don’t understand the definition of dyslexia so try not to use it innapropriately in a sentence, John, trust me I am quite capable and adept a reading and writing.
Work on solving your gambling addiction because once again, you are an emotion controlled person with a serious problem the posts of other members than myself are beginning to surround you.

GSP is invincible at 170 pounds. That’s right. Invincible. Get back to me in a couple years if you disagree. By that time Swick, Condit and AJ will be victims too. He out-struck the striker and fought on one leg half the fight.

Shane DOESN’T have KO power? HA! What on earth makes you say that? I was rooting for Mir to win here, but inside I knew Brock would get him. BUT! Brock was exposed in this fight for his weak stand up. Mir, of all people, tagged him a few times and forced Brock to take him down. I wish Borck would have stood up with him some more, just to see what would’ve happened. But that little blip in the fight made me believe even more that Shane Carwin can knock his block off. Carwin has KO power more than Couture or Mir has, and can match wreslting a bit.
To add, Borck is such as disrespectful little nutsack. Flipping off the fans, dissing Mir after the fight, dissing the fans again. Guy is a classess prick. I hope he loses ALL of his next fights. One things for sure though, I will be watching all of Lesnar’s fights just to see him lose. I hate Lesnar.

Fans only booed because Mir was in his home town. Lesnar is a class act, all that other stuff is for show. If I was picking teams Lesnar is my first choice every time.

Ha. Maybe true. But I have FULL confidence that Carwin will be able to put him away. Borck hasn’t fought anyone who has KO power, and if Mir made him think twice about the stand up game, then you know nearly EVERYONE ELSE out there will have him out of his element on the feet.
In the mean time, I will be driving full steam again on the Cock-Lesnar HATEWAGON, and enjoying every moment of it.
Lesnar is a disrespectful cunt. Plain and simple.

you had a win over a rookie, so what? show some respect. you don’t see GSP reminding everyone he whooped BJs ass twice, or do you see rampage reminding everyone he koed chuck twice.
the only consolation you should have is that mir doesn’t need his face rearranged by michael jackson’s cosmetic surgeon, although he might be working cheap these days.

if i just ko’d mir and they were booing me, i’d flip them off too. the fans made him out to be the villain and he gave them what they wanted, nothing wrong with that. he didn’t disrespect the crowd until they disrespected him. my only regret of the whole ppv was it wasn’t in england so hendo could have shut that loudmouthed focker up in front of his freinds and family. there is a possibility that they heard it though, or maybe even felt it. i wonder if his family woke up with a major headache.

The fans weren’t booing because it was Mir’s hometown. The were booing because they just watched a real wrestler (GSP)masterfully out grapple and wrestle someone the watch Lesnar literally just lay on someone and hold them down.
I HATE Lesnar and I’ll make no bones about it. He is the most skill/talentless belt holder in the UFC. You can’t tell me you can see wtf he’s been working on in training by watching him fight. I will give credit where it’s due- he’s huge and he has power. I have no problem acknowledging that he is going to be champ for a long time because of it. There’s really only 2 people that can beat him imo- I think Carwin has either the same amount of punching power or more and has a fair chance for that reason. And I think Fedor will knock his block off. Lesnar’s chest on chest/rape choke routine won’t be getting my money otherwise.

I’m confused here DSmith. Lesnar took Mir down, put the BJJ/sub expert in a position where he could not get any offense going or even defend himself and gets finished in less than a round and a half. Meanwhile, GSP gets repeated takedowns of Alves but does very little with them and goes the full five rounds. But LESNAR is the one who is just laying on his opponent???
by PW on Jul 12, 2009 1:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
PW- you can’t possibly believe Lesnar has a more active GnP game than GSP. GSP has the skill to be able to move more than a quarter inch off of his opponent and stay very active no matter where he is. The purpose of his GnP is to finish if he can, wear you out so you are less effective, break your spirit or piss you off so you mess up. Lesnar’s ability to finish Mir (or anybody) has to do with his power and size. He uses his weight to very LITERALLY lay on top of people and hold them. The man hardly moves otherwise. GSP didn’t have the power to finish Alves that doesn’t mean that GSP’s ground game sucks more than Lesnars. I don’t like Lesnar because that is ALL he can do. If he stays on his feet or does anything else he is screwed. If you have have more respect for that or find those kind of fights more entertaining because it ends sooner- good for you. Not me. I’d much rather watch an artful and skillful dismantling of an opponent no matter how many rounds than bully antics.

dsmith you have made no sense whatsoever, brock tko’d mir. i guess he smothered him. he has no standup? he knocked herring a double flip, randy on his ass, and mir down with a jab in the first match. don’t let your hate make a fight something its not. if you ko a guy in two rounds and i beat a guy by decision, both using gnp, i would have to say yours was a little more effective.
by buttcrack obama bin laden on Jul 12, 2009 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Let’s try this again- Brock’s ground game consists of pinning and punching. It’s effective because of his power. Brock has tremendous power. That’s great. My point is that GSP has a more complex arsenal on the ground and I am much more interested in watching that than I do watching Lesnar’s pinning. That’s all.

Hey, i was convinced that Paulo was gonna be the Sok of 09. It was all there – two fighters, both high level and similar styles with one being more complete, both from the same camp, no name guy smashing one up even though he sucks. Still give him props for last three rounds with the 3rd best WW in the world. The rest of my picks were on point except for CB.

Paulo is better then the odds gave him but again fitch is a monster. I would say Paulo has a future but he’s alread 28 so time wont help.
Overall I was most impressed with Alves… he didn’t gas after 5 rounds and he looked to be a serious threat up untill the final bell. While I don’t like him, I still give him full props and the #2 WW spot.

I officially never want to see another Fitch fight again. I never liked him, but respected his toughness. Now, I kid you not, I actually fell asleep during his fight. I woke up embarassed and disoriented, but Fitch can finally brag about putting someone to sleep instead of a going to a boring decision.

Somebody pleeasssseee take out Lesner, what a friggin disrespectful bad for the sport douche bag bully in the octagon and out.
Everybody else in the game shows class and respect for the most part and here you have somebody who is suppose to be bread and butter middle America and stand for what is American.
If this is the case I pity what America is suppose to stand for.
For those intelligent enough not to be the ones chanting USA USA and luckily, granted those are the few, and the non hardcore educated MMA fans, I hope we are on the same page agreeing the shorter the reign of this phenom of uber douchery the better.
I still give him his dues to his speed and strength but this doesn’t even add an ounce onto the scale to offset his lack of appeal to the sport.
GSP awesome, Fitch impressive, Hendo predictably consistent but the second punch out of form, great show over all.

curtioso your an idiot just like everyone else who doesn’t respect Brock Lesnar. This guy has been given no respect after what he has accomplished. He has been training competively for years and in case you didn’t know he didn’t win a NCAA National Wrestling Championship by doing nothing. Who else would be able to go straight to the UFC and compete at the level he does? That just goes to show you how much pressure he would have on him and no one gives him any respect for his past accomplishments and work ethics. So cry all you want you Lesnar haters! As you can see he enjoys feeding off of your stupidity!

Agreed JJ. He’s hard to beat because he walks in 40lbs heavier than everyone else but I wouldn’t call that a skill. He has a million holes in his game. I think Carwin has enough power to get the job done though and they walk around at about the same weight. And of course he’ll definitely lose against Fedor.

Carwin has the power to smash Brock out, but I wonder if he has the speed. Brock definitely has the edge in the wrestling department and has the bigger frame, but Carwin will get chances to hit Brock in the mouth before it goes to the ground. I’d love to see that fight.

A true follower of martial arts knows of the self-discipline, respect and traditions of the sport. To witness the betrayal of those values is disturbing and shows just how far Dana White will go make a buck. Poor sportsmanship, disrespect, and vulgar behavior is not welcomed in the martial arts and should not be condoned or accepted. Bruce Lee would be a good example of a martial artist who brought a positive, healthy image to the sport. We don’t need Dana White in martial arts or his multi-million dollar FREAKSHOW that the UFC has evolved into.

The dude is one bad son of a bitch. And the only ones getting all butt-hurt about his post fight stuff are the ones running their mouths for the last several weeks about how a “true mixed martial artist” would kill him.

Dana has kicked fighters out of TUF for that kind of behavior. and he lets this gorilla run around and act like this, just to sell tickets? Well, i am not buying! I have ordered almost every pay-per-view UFC fight for the last four years and I am never going to order another one in which Lesnar is on the card. I watch these guys because GSP, Machida, Silva, Faber, etc. all have honor, and respect for the sport.

Lesnar’s lack of respect for the fans, his opponents, the company itself (not wanting to stick around for the pre-fight presser) represents a bad ambassador to the sport. If the UFC allows more guys like him to compete in their company, it’ll become a mini version of the WWE before too long. In constrast, GSP is everything that the company wants in a champion. I hope Carwin has a crack at Lesnar and knock’s out that big cement head!

I agree Mexicutioner,
F the fans that were Booing Lesnar.
I’m by NO means a Brock Fan, but I found my self slowly deciding to root for him because of all the BS that Mir was saying in interviews leading up to this fight.
All Brock did was shut Mir up.
Mir is a douche, and always has been. I’ll give him props for the way he handled the post fight interview. Maybe he learned something.
As far as the way Brock Lesnar treats the UFC’s partners, or the UFC it’s self….WHO CARES!!!!!!!!
The UFC is now charging companies to sponsor their fighters, which will only hurt the marginal fighters…who by the way are the ones who need that additonal cash flow the most.
Also look how Dana white treats everyone. So Dana’s a brash A-hole, and so is Brock. Now Dana gets to try to handle someone whose just like himself. I think it’s a little Karma for Dana

Brock was completely justified in my opinion for any after fight antics. He has had so many haters before, during and after this fight and also ever since he decided to come into MMA. He’s finally proven himself and still gets ZERO respect from fans, so why should he give it back to them? Should he have shook Mir’s hand and thanked him for the fight? I don’t really think so. Mir had absolutely ZERO respect for Brock’s abilities before their first match leading ALL the way up to this fight. Mir ran his mouth trash talking while Brock sat back and really didn’t want to do any trash talking or at least as little as he could. He wanted to get in the Octagon and prove himself. HE DID JUST THAT!
All you haters just keep hating.
It’s funny how people are so inconsistent with their thoughts or opinions. People will blame Brock for being just too big and heavy to give Mir any chance. They say this AFTER Mir gets his ass destroyed, but where were those comments BEFORE the match and all of you were all over Mir’s nuts? All you wanna do is cry ’It’s no fair that Brock is so big. It’s no fari that Brock laid on Mir and pounded his face" …To that I say, well, why did Mir decide to lose soooooo much weight and ‘get in shape’ thinking that would help him win against someone so much larger? Why didn’t Mir GAIN some weight so that he’d be up to Brocks level in weight? Mir was simply WAY too over confident and just could not accept that Brock has any ability at all. What…whats that I hear you say? Brock has no ability? So….Strength and knowing exactly how to use that strength as a weapon against your opponent is not an ability? That just comes naturally to anyone who is Brock’s size? Some of you really need to grow up lol.
Am I a Brock fan? Yep, I have been since his first MMA match because I saw the potential of his since day one. I’m not someone who is making excuses for ‘my favorite fighter’. When Brock loses and YES he WILL lose at some point then I’ll look at that fight, see where he made his mistakes and admit he LOST. If he cries like a little baby after losing, well then tough shit for him. But, I will still support him.
Haters…HATE ON!! At least it will give you something to feel good about instead of crying over Mir.

I am a Borck hater in that I hate his attitude. The fans were cheering up until he flipped the double birds(a black belt move I might add). At that moment was when he lost respect as a person.

Total crap. Aside from wrestling, lesnar has no skill. He looked like an oaf on his feet. He showed nothing more than that the UFC needs a super heavy weight div. Until then, we all better get used this overgrown cow smothering opponents with sheer size and strength. No one will challenge him, and we’ll all have to suffer through those that remark about how much he has improved. His game is 5 years outdated.
Remember, we’re discussing pro fighters. They all fight according to their physical attributes. That in no way should be confused as a skill. You see that innate sense in little kids on the playground.
After watching the all around MMA showcase of GSP, it is a wonder that anyone would ne so shortsighted as to call what Lesnar did impressive.

Yea GSP is boring…
He can’t finish fights…
Because Thiago’s corner didn’t threw the towel.
2 decision in his last 5 fights. He definetly can’t finish fights!
C’mon haters, i’m sure you can do better than that…
by Jee on Jul 12, 2009 1:48 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
GSP fights very cautiously since serra upset. he’d not engage in striking unless he tires opponent by numerous takedowns. he keeps on winning with this strategy but became way less exciting for sure.

I honestly thought Bisping by decision…boy was I wrong, and glad too I may add.
Did anyone else happen to notice that Hendo made Bisping’s neck about seven inches longer???
what do they call that move?

Brock is bad for the sport. He needs to face Fedor or leave MMA. Hendo is bordering on being disgraceful for power punching an unconscious man. He already admitted that he could have stopped but he wanted to make sure Bisping “shut up a little longer.” Not cool. The future of the sport depends on some civility. Danzig needs a new camp. What the hell happened to Alves, Boner, and Mir?

FranksMirror (what in the heck name is that? do you want to see Mir naked or something?), you’re following the wrong sport you little girl. You should switch to tennis and start following Roger Federer’s career. This is a blood combat sport. Do you think Rocky Marciano or Mike Tyson should of been kicked out of boxing after their first few fights because they were too mean to their opponents? Lesnar’s attitude is EXACTLY what the UFC Heavyweight division needed. We already have too many pretty boys and gentleman in the UFC who fake talking trash to hype fights. We needed an old-school ass-kicker like Lesnar for some great heavy-weight main events. He’s exactly the type of heavyweight champion that will make for awesome, exciting match-ups for years to come. Go follow tennis or golf you little girl.

Great night of fights.
GSP completely dominated Alves. Any of you saying he is boring fighter need to rewatch the fight. And to those of you saying he doesn’t finish fights are f—-ing retarded. GSP controlled the standup and decimated him when he took him to the ground – almost submiting him several times. You have to realize that Thiago is a beast. GSP hit him with several good shots but Thiago was game and kept coming. I really don’t think anyone in the WW division stands a chance againt GSP. The guy is such a complete fighter and continues to get better.
The Lesnar-Mir fight went exactly as I predicted with Brock destroying him with his huge lunchbox fists. Man, I felt sorry for Mir for taking that huge of a beating. His face looked like that guy from the “Mask” movie. As far as the post fight antics I was a bit suprised, but the more I thought it, the more I realized that I don’t blame Lesnar at all. Mir talked ALOOOOT of shit leading up to this fight and Brock was just biding his time because he knew he was gonna shut his ass up.
To all of you so-called MMA purists and “This is the UFC not the WWE” fanboys need to wake the f up. This is FIGHTING. It’s not tennis or golf. These guys want to rip each others heads off. If someone talked as much as Mir or Bisping did wouldn’t you feel the same way?
BTW, Henderson’s KO was beautiful. Bisping did NOTHING but run like a little bitch and paid dearly for it. Daymmm that right hand by Hendo was lethal!!!

Isn’t it crazy how the best of the best avoid getting knocked around by their opponents only to be knocked by unappreciative fans?
GSP and Anderson Silva are masters at studying their opponents, coming up with masterful strategies and picking their opponents apart. Admittedly it doesn’t always result the KO of the night, but it’s intelligent and incredibly skillful.
To watch those two fight each other would be amazing.

In other news, the American Douchebag Corporation has cancelled Bisping’s endorsement deal. “While he is still a douche,” said a company spokesman, “We just can’t see ourselves being represented by Mr. Bisping after his brain was scrambled at the end of Henderson’s fist.”

Great night of fights. Glad to see Bisping get knocked out. Gsp fought the fight he needed to fight in order to win. Now on to Brock. He gave Mir everything he deserved. To all the haters on Brock. You must not have followed him in college. He has always been loud and would say what he wanted. WWE did not change him. Who cares if he gave the fans the finger. They were booing him. I personally think Tito was worse than Brock. I mean Tito ran up and gave the finger to Shamrock after there fight. Get real people love him or hate him he is only going to get better an better.

How can anyone compare gsp to matt hughes? Answer this, why is gsp known as THE most well rounded fighter in MMA, has anyone ever said that about Hughes? Gsp knocked alves down and alves was crying after the fight and his face was messed up. Gsp’s bjj is better than matt hughes, or over 90% of the welter weight division, his striking is better than over 90% of the welter weight division and his wrestling is better than 100% of the welter weight division. Another matt hughes? LMAO!!!!! Hughes barely squeaked by serra, IMO a controversial fight. Gsp has fought the same since he started. I’ve seen EVERY one on his fights, he looks exactly the same since the beginning, if you don’t believe me watch all of his fights. The last time hughes totally dominated in a fight was a pathetic Royce Gracie in 2006!! After gsp’s serra fight gsp has totally dominated his opponents, making them look like shit…another f**king matt hughes? He decisioned kocheck,fitch and alves….all top 5 guys and dominated them, he tko’d penn and serra and submitted hughes, please, lay and pray style, learn something about MMA because your obviously clueless.

Seriously ALves is a damn JOKE! And heres why….if you’re going to do all that smack talking and over-confident posturing ala Bisping and Mir, you better deliver something(!) even if you don’t win, you need an effort. Yeah, he looked banged up facially but thats not what really matters in a fight, WOW he went all 5 rds!? why should he and Fitch get Kudos for being banged like drums for all 5 rounds with ease of GSP? ALves has baby arms, and is definately on the roids, to bad that stuff ain’t workin on GSP! FItch is waaaaay toooo SLOW for GSP case closed! Kampman is a little girl, and Swick while fast as hell, would be dominated on the ground by GSP. Should GSP get more lethal with his finishing attempts? HELL YEAH! but hes stll utterly dominate and doin things at WILL people! SO he doesn’t have Hendo/Liddell/Tyson-esque power in his hands…last I checked he and his bulging sack-tighty shorts are raping people!

Pre fight trash talk is part of hyping up a fight. It’s how a fighter behaves AFTER a fight that shows his true character.
See the interview when they asked Brock to watch the first Mir fight? He was even saying how he wanted to punch ref Mazzagatti in the face etc etc…then proceeded to leave the interview and punch a wall!

So, the future. I suppose one of the problems with having dominant champs is they keep clearing out the divisions leaving no meaningful matches left.
Lesnar vs Fedor, but until that is sorted out, they have to make Brock vs Carwin.
Mir vs Gonzaga id like to see. But I think Gonzaga already has a fight lined up. Mir vs Kongo then? Struggling here…
GSP vs Swick/Kampmann winner. Then Anderson Silva.
Alves vs Swick/Kampmann loser.
Fitch vs Karo Parisyan. Fitch is the WW Rich Franklin. Can beat everyone but cant beat the champ. Logical next fight has to be this considering Karo is the only established UFC top 10 WW he hasnt yet fought.
Hendo vs Anderson Silva. Not because I think Hendo will win. But ’cause he deserves it.
Bisping vs Cote. Im man enough to eat humble pie. Bispings tactic in his fight was awful. Hes more clever than that, and it was an ending I saw coming from the first minute of the fight. Cote called him out. So let them at it.
‘Sexyama’ Akiyama vs Dan Hardy. A ‘validation’ type battle. Which of the two is going to be challenging the top 5 in the next 12 months? The winner of this could be the answer.
Mark Coleman vs Jon Jones. I think Colemans win is a one off. That said they have both beat Bonner. Jones reward for his latest win could be to fight the legend. Old vs young. A win would propel him into a fight against a top 10 guy.
Mac Danzig….WEC

Your a dumbass. You obviously didnt watch the countdown before the ppv. All Mir did was talk sh!t about Brock. While Brock sat back and didnt say anything. So do you want to see Mir go away? How about Hughes and Serra? All lot of the fighters bad mouth each other before a fight. Brock apologized after the fight and said he knows he needs to cut back after he wins a fight. He has been like that since he was in college but nobody talks about that. Just the WWE. So how does it feel to have a WWE guy hold the hw title in the ufc. Bring on fedor, hope he likes getting slammed on his back and pounded on like mir did.

Disappointing performance by Frank Mir. Granted Lesnar is a beast, almost unfair with his size and strength. Mir looked good against NOG but NOG has a lot of mileage and apparently was fighting a staph infection. So really Mir didn’t do anything special against a less than 100 percent NOG. Even though Mir looked in really good shape at the weigh in, Lesnar who is still a larger man than Mir is SO MUCH faster and more agile than Mir. It seems like once Mir gets knocked down, he never scrambles out instead just accepts the bad position he ends up in. I think Mir carries too much weight while he can get by with his talent (and arrogance) against lesser fighters, he got beat down bad by Lesnar. Would love to see the next day photo of his face…my goodness.
Belcher won that fight.
Henderson caught em and thank goodness we didn’t have to listen to Bisping’s grating voice being interviewed by Rogan.
GSP is awesome.
Fitch was good but as usual not too exciting.
Lesnar is a beast. Although Mir is a good sized HW, the UFC needs to develop some big HW’s to challenge Lesnar. Guys like Couture are just too small.

RE" Bisping Mir – If Goldberg says “I’m worried about Bisping circling into Henderson’s power hand” – Then you’ve made the grossest obvious tactical error ever.
Bisping has always left his chin out there, it was only a matter of time and then he copped his just deserts.
I don’t think the cheap shot following the KO hurt him, he didn’t know the fight was over while Henderson was being interview and Stiches was still trying to explain to him in the background that the fight was over and he’d been KTFO’d.
