This is going to be a great fight. I'll take a Lesnar decision.

Wow... the last 40-45 seconds of the round... just look at how much bigger Lesnar is than Randy.  I mean, you knew going in that Lesnar was a bigger guy, but DAMN!!!  :o

Props to Brock though... he fought a damn good fight and if he keeps learning he's gonna be damn near impossible to beat.

Actually, after thinking about it, if the UFC/Dana wants to build up Lesnar, they should try to keep him away from Minotauro as long as they can.  He's a true heavweight 6'3", about 240-245 (not a LHW moving up like Randy)... and is a BJJ monster.  Not quite as big and powerful as Brock, but strong enough to not feel overwhelmed by Lesnar's weight.  If I'm Dana and I want to capitalize on a few unbeaten PPV's by Lesnar... I'm pulling for Mir to beat Minotauro.

Oh no doubt Dana's gotta make money before he gets cut down by Fedor  ;)

funny you mention that muss..... M1 and Fedor already put out a press release welcoming a "super fight" between Lesnar and Fedor.    Doubt Dana White would ever let that happen.

That UFC lived up to the hype.    Griffen didnt look good at all.  I find it hard to believe Evans is that much better.   Silva's head is toast.  I was talking to Mussa about this last week.  He can get knocked out way to easy these days and it happened again.     Frank Mir looked amazing.  That was one of the most dominant performances ive ever seen considering the opponent.   Mir calling out Lesnar was great.  Is there any reason to think Mir wont submit him again barring a lucky punch by Lesnar ?

I have never seen any of this stuff but obviously you guys follow it. I have one question; how is Frankie Edgar? Is he any good. I coached him in HS and know him for a long time. He has always been one tough son of a bitch.
Alert, alert. Look well at the rainbow. The fish will be running very soon.

MURP

are you Mr. Reid?  because he lists his HS coach as one of his heroes on his UFC page.

ive only remember seeing him fight twice. Franca and Maynard.   Very quick guy and never seemed to get tired.   Good fighter, but there are a lot of good lightweight fighters so he would have to put together a nice string of wins to get into the upper tier I think.
