You stay classy Brock Lesnar

[luvfightgame]

I knew Lyle would finally come around. MMA is entertaining for the most part. It doesn't replace boxing but it's a great addition for fight fans.

As far as Brock. Agreed on all counts. He made an ass of himself and even seemed to be performing like a pro wrestler, he took the mike from the announcer, kind of strutted around and interacted with the fans..... so WWF.

As for the fights. Good card, should have shown the prelims, at least on the replay part. But overall, UFC always has a great production, they keep the time between fights short, and keep the action flowing. They have the production end down and have an edge in that department from boxing shows. It's easier when you control the whole show as for boxing it's different promoters, etc. Just the tv crews are the only continuity from HBO, SHO etc.

Bisping getting sparked was classic. I kind of liked Bisping before this seasons show. He really came off badly in that show for me. I wanted him to lose just cause he was an ass. Henderson is amazing, fought everyone and won or did well in losing. Just a class act and tough s.o.b.

I have respect for 2 fighters....maybe 3, never seen Silva fight so I can't say much about him, but as long as guys like Brock Lesnar, Dana White, and Joe Rogan are associated with the UFC, it's more than likely I'll still be poking fun of MMA.....they still use foot stomping, that is soooooo lame.


Seems to me Brock Lesnar looks like the type of guy who can dish it out, but can't take it...I think if Crocop uses the right plan he can school Lesnar easily....yes even though Crocop is washed up. Mirko has to weaken Brock's legs for the entire first round, move and kick those legs all round long, keep the distance and don't allow Brock to take him down because once he does that the fight is over. After round 1 Crocop can let a kick or 2 fly at Brock's head and hopefully his legs are too weak to dodge/block and attempt a takedown.

A couple of my friends are really into MMA, but I just don't think I'll ever be that into it or anything more than a casual fan if you could even call me that.....I do love that Bisping got KO'd, love to see the exact same thing happen to David Haye

Gotta tell you...... if you're comparing them to Zab Judah, Mayweather clan, Don King, and Larry Merchant..........
hmmmmmm don't know if there's a whole lot to poke fun.

Not liking people in the sport doesn't ruin the sport for me. If so there wouldn't be any I liked. Same with movies, etc. I can't stand Tom Cruise, but liked several of his movies. Hated Dion Sanders but watched tons of football games. Dennis Rodman, still watched the bulls games and celebrated there wins.

Boxing is the last sport I would pick to defend the integrity of based upon the moral character of it's stars.

The guys like Rogan, White, and Lesnar perpetuate an attitude that is associated with MMA...the boxing guys you mentioned aren't living the "boxing culture" because there isn't one, whereas UFC has been marketed and packaged by Dana White et al to create a MMA/UFC CULTURE, Affliction t-shirts, energy drinks, bad tattoos, GNC products, etc.....but I guess that is what being popular within the mainstream gets you.

That's just my view, but I think Floyd and Zab are more influenced by Hip Hop, Floyd's family has issues obviously, Don King is just an evil person, and Larry Merchant is a guy who is yearning for the golden years of boxing, he's not a bad person, in fact he's got more balls than Rogan who is shit scared of asking tough questions of fighters.

I do appreciate that UFC/MMA is trying to steer away from being an ATTITUDE and respect skill a bit more....that attitude will always be a part of the sport, but it doesn't need to be the first thing you see

knowing one of Lesnar's coaches all i can say is yes someone may beat him, the path to that victory won't be easy.i hope he acts beter in the future, but i am impressed with his ground and pound. also the ufc heavy wieghts are yawn uhm boring? at least here is a guy willing to be a heel and give you something.

[donnydarkoIRL]

A prime Minotauro could beat Lesnar, I'm sure of it.

Tons of athleticism, endurance, cardio and sublime jiu jitsu skills.
Damn I wish Nog was a little less removed from his Pride days

.....someone who can strike WILL BEAT Brock Lesnar, the key for fighters to understand is that when you hit Brock he's going to try and take you down and when that happens you side step and try and land again.

It's not going to be shocking to me when somebody beats Brock, I just want someone to have the guts to do it, right now he's getting too much respect from his opponents on account of his size and strength. Brock's chin is the chink in his armor, it's going to take someone with bravery to stand and deliver vs Brock.
