Re: The UFC thread.
Well Bisping won at a canter and certainly taught Chris Leben a lesson in tactics.
Thought the Chris Lytle v. Paul Taylor fight was awesome and very close even though the final decision was unanimous. Taylor took a lot of good shots but looked a lot fresher than Lytle at the end. He looks a good prospect.
Luiz Cane v. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou was another intersting bout - Sokoudjou looked really impressive until he was caught with a punch and stopped shortly thereafter.
Keith Jardine wasn't his normal self in beating Brandon Vera but he got caught with a nasty kick to his previously injured left knee early on which clearly affected him.

bisping was great! had a bet with my best mate (who was actually there last night) that he would win!!! he was not impressed that I was right!! I am a complete novice after all!!
Sokou was pretty cool! thought he was doing reallyh well until the end when it went a bit downhill!

Re: The UFC thread.
At last night's weigh-in, Couture was 220lb, Lesnar was 265lb 
Couture had better rely on his experience because Lesnar has got the edge in everything else. If they end up on the floor and Lesnar is on top....it ain't gonna be pretty.

Size ain't everything

What Lesnar has in presence, The Natural will at least match it in technique. My money's on Couture.

Re: The UFC thread.
I love the way the announcer is wearing bunny ears for that pic.
Yeah it did go on a bit but if he cut it short then he'd get heat for it, I'm guessing he tried to let go on for as long as possible without creating a disappointment. Didn't really change the outcome though.

Re: The UFC thread.
I cannot help but feel the weight difference was a massive disadvantage.

Re: The UFC thread.
When Brock got him down and started pounding on his head with those hammer strikes, he hit Couture 40 times straight, one after the other 
What was the ref waiting for, a sign from Heaven?

Re: The UFC thread.
Brock Lesnar was always going to win this one. Couture at his peak would've had a hard time living with him.
I think I've won a bet somewhere........
My eldest and I were at a karate competition at the weekend. The weight categories were OK except for the fact that the top category was above 55kg which meant there was a massive difference between some of the fighters in that single category.

Yes you won the bet!! I will make a donation to a charity.
When its heavy weight fights is there no limit to your weight?
As for the hammer fisting I have seen fighter recover hence the reason the reff did not stop it.
