I don't think the lesnar/Mir fight was paid off. Mir did some dumb things.... like letting a 285 lb. man lay on top of him and pound him.
What I don't agree with was Lesnar's demeaner after the fight. Mir fought and lost... leave it at that... At least he stepped into the ring and fought, not very good but none the less.
Lesnar plays the "Heel" well. I guess he just hasn't realized it's not the WWE or what ever.
Without ME its just AWESO
the only thing i dislike more than a loser making excuses is a winner acting like a giant douche. i personally don't care for mir and while every time lesnar opens his mouth the room's iq plummets; i find him innocuous enough. i was actually rooting for the giant dopey ******* that was talking about horse shoes in ppls asses(?). anywho, after his win and him being a huge tool i wished mir had done better. It was like lesnar was making a concerted effort to delegitimize the sport.

If you don't pay attention to the context, your comments in isolation really don't mean much
Do you realize that Frank Mir talked massive crap and made the fight personal?
Watch Brock Lesner after he fought Randy, he was a complete gentleman with respect, becaue Randy didnt' make the fight personal
If you talk trash about someone and get personal, expect not only a beating but that they aren't going to like you much

Hell, watch the NFL on Sundays and you see a sport full of egotistical *******s.

Just watched the rest of the fights. Take it back, there were some goodies in there. I liked GSP Alvez, Fitch Thiago and Akiyama Belcher.
I thought Akiyama should have had it split, but that 30-27 was a crock. Oh well.
its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist
Sometime blog on training esp in Japan

We're not saying it wasn't close. It was. Akiyama just got a little more work done.I reviewed the fight, and I changed my opion.. LOL
I will say that the off-the-cage superman punch was pretty sweet.

so you agree that the McMA and UFC exist only because there is money to be made off of it?
GM of Hadaka Korosu
Or worse, they'll fill their bodies and even their faces with tattoos !!!let's face it folks... the McMA and whole UFC is simply and purely for entertainment... it exists for no other reason than entertainment... the people who practice and partake in this blantant franken-sport are numbskulled dimwits.
next thing you'll see them painting their faces up, but then again, how approriate as they are nothing but a bunch of clowns anyway.

what typically happens is my memory goes.. its I deal with on a daily basis. it was a long night with allot of fights. I didn't really hear the booes in the video so I think it was just the people at the bar. Sometimes I'll remember one thing and forget a bunch of other things. He won the fight, I was wrong.I'm the first person to admit when I'm wrong. I have no issue with my faults. UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE

UFC in tis current incarnation definitely is designed for entertainment / revenue generation, although it does so utilizing a rules format that is more inclusive than anything else out there, at least on a professional level (e.g. - there are certainly vale tudo-style things going on under the radar, and Dog Brothers would be an example of open amateur pretty much anything goes);
MMA OTOH is, really, the natural evolution of the MA scene in the US, moving from what was primarily (though not exclusively, of course) a fragmented "technique-specific" MA scene up through the '80's (e.g.: judo=body throwing & ground work; jujitsu=peripheral joint manips; TKD=kicking; Shotokan=linear striking techs; boxing / wrestling=for sport only); of course, you had things like JKD which was trying to put it all together for some time, and you had CMA which at least claimed to have been putting it all together forever in theory, though in practice often fell short of that mark;
I think people should back off of MMA / UFC in general - if one doesn't like it, don't do it / watch it; if one thinks that everyone in MMA / UFC is a knuckle-headed neanderthal, guys like Silva and GSP seem to disprove that line of reasoning; fact is though, it represents at least at present the apex of multi-modal MA competition, closer to "real" combat in terms of resisting opponents / pressure testing than the vast majority of other systems out there, and the level of fitness / conditioning of MMA guys in general is not insignificant and therefore needs to be considered - I mean, it's pretty much impossible to be out of shape and regarded as a credible exponent of MMA, whereas I can think of several highly-regarded CMA guys who would technically be considered morbidly obese, yet people still flock to them for instruction because somehow typical norms of fitness and health don't seem to apply when you start talking about free-flow of qi and all that cr@p - I ask everyone, where is the "gung fu" in that?);
so, in general, I don't really see what's the problem here? (aside from BD getting his panties in a wad because, I don't know, it's a new week?)

people seem to have forgotten these inconvenient facts...

I never cared for the hype that pro fighters, since the time of Ali, seemed to think is needed to sell tickets, of course I blame the fans for this, they love it and eat it up, along with their hot dogs and beer.
