Absolutely spot on prediction!

After the fight, Florian even said "I like Huerta though and he is a future champion"

Brilliant performance by Lesnar, a one sided masterclass, Heath Herring got put on his arse after 15 seconds & his eye instantly closed - the crazy horse was a broken man. All three judges gave 30-26 Lesnar.

As long as Lesnar stays away from anyone with Jiu-Jitsu skills he could have a good career, needs to learn to stop playing to the crowd though - looked a bit stupid at the end trying to ride the crazy horse like sea-biscuit.

That right hand was fucking crazy - dropped Herring like a sack of shite. Credit to Herring for making it to the final bell. Those knees to the body were brutal. Its hard to believe that was only Lesnar's third MMA fight. He's still got alot of scope to improve his ju-jitsu.

Ander8on · 10th August 2008, 05:36

Yeah, how many opportunities did Lesnar have to take Herring's back & didn't take them? Noboby is going to beat Lesnar in a wrestling match, his body is too wide - it must have felt like two people were on top of Herring.

Just watching the GSP fight, looks different class compared to Fitch.

GSP was fantastic. On top of being extremely well rounded he's just impossibly strong - he was tossing Fitch around like a rag doll at times.

That was a quality fight. Maia looked class. His BJJ is quality.

I think Lesner was magnificent. However I was a bit disappointed that he couldn't finish him off.

He kind of annoyed me at the end the way he acted. It was the total opposite of the class he showed when Mir made him tap.

Lesner will improve each time he faces a top bjj man. I think though due to his immense size, speed and strength that only the elite bjj men such as Mir or Nogeira will be able to beat him.

I'd love to see Couture v Lesner. It'd be interesting to see him fight another ground & pount "specialist".

Pound for pound I think GSP and Anderson Silva are by far and away the best fighters in the UFC.

GSP was quality tonight but I was a little disappointed, as I was with Lesnar, that he couldn't close out the fight.

GSP v BJ will be a great fight. It's bound to happen.

The frightening thing is with Lesnar is that he has so much to improve on. He is still a very inexperienced fighter and there is so much room for improvement. At 31 he is still relatively young for a heavyweight. He could dominate the division for years to come once he gets some more experience.

Some very good fights tonight. Excellent performances by GSP and Lesnar (someone please find him a BJJ coach). Fantastic KO by Emerson!

That was some knockout. I felt it from here.

agreed. I have never liked seeing people showboat after matches.

Lesnar had Herring's back the whole fight and couldn't do anything with it.

GSP was very impressive.

Why? I presume because he acted like such an idiot after the last fight?

RedCanadian · 17th August 2008, 04:09

Fedor would let Lesnar take him down then he would submit him. All in about 30 or 40 seconds.....

that and because he has a really shit tattoo on his chest

kristinson · 17th August 2008, 12:50

Lesnar was good and wrestled brilliantly but when he comes up against someone with good BJJ he is going to find it tough, ander8on is right he had his back so many times and I was crying out of a rear naked choke but it was never even close he never passed the guard properly for a good ground and pound either, he has a shit load to learn and I dare say if he hadnt of dropped hearing with the right the result could have been different.

His post match interview was a joke, ortiz like in the lack of class and repect shown

EspadaYdaga · 18th August 2008, 14:12

it's not too hard to out wrestle someone you are twice the size of

and he has a shit tattoo

Don16 · 19th August 2008, 00:19

Did Lesnar do the F5?

Im so original and funny, I know.

What's the story with Cro Cop? Didn't he sign a two year 6 fight contract with the UFC? I heard he was fighting in some new promotion. Is he still obligated to fight in the UFC?

Younited.7 · 24th August 2008, 00:45

Sorry, i don't watch it all the time, is there somebody called the axeman/hunter or something? I thought it was Anderson Silva, but no.

I saw one of his highlight reels and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Cheers.

The Axeman? Wanderlei Silva is nicknamed the Axe Murderer. It is probably him you are thinking of. He is one of the best around.

Anderson Silva's nickname is Spider.

Yeah, was wondering the same thing? I've not seen anything of Crop, but I heard about him signing and he was coming with a big reputation.

Loads of news over the past week

Lesnar is meant to have agreed to fight Cheick Congo, Chuck Liddell wants a title fight if he beats Evans, if he doesn't win has hinted he may quit and Kenny Florian is set to fight Joe Stevenson in January.

I'd love to see Chuck against Forrest. It could be a great fight.

Lesner and Congo will be interesting as Lesner won't really have the physical dominance that he has on practically every other fighter. I reckon it'd be a boring matchup though.

Florian and Stevenson would be quality.
