Re: The UFC thread.

I think that Lesnar needs to remember he doesn't need to do that heel/face stuff any more. WWE shouldn't come into this, its totally different. WWE = theatre, UFC = sport. Its like saying Sylvester Stallone should be a good goalkeeper. Lesnar is an accomplished collegiate wrestler (which IS a sport, unlike pro wrestling).

I not sure the win for Lesnar was that good for the UFC. When Mir beat him the first time it was with a brilliant mixture of experience and technique. Lesnar just proved that's useless when you weigh close to 20st, just lie on them so they can't breath or move and then punch them in the face. Eventually the ref will stop the match. I suppose it was good to watch though which is the point. I loved at the start of the second round when Mir was smiling but parts of his face were in different places

Gutted about Bisping, but I think we all saw this coming. We hoped his cockiness was all for show and then when he needed to he'd be a professional. During TUF9 I had my doubts and was vindicated. He just didn't turn up for the fight. He was seriously knocked-out though. I just hope it makes him knuckle down. I know there's an excellent fighter in there.

I'm looking forward to seeing Anderson Silva v Forrest Griffin and Couture matches, but beyond that there doesn't seem to be any really good matches unless they are TBA.
