I am watching Spike where the the second title fight between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar is being rerun.
Is it just me or is Brock a dink?
Great fighter and I would never want that dude after me but still I think he's a dink.
Your thoughts?

On the topic of UFC: I am a fan but quickly losing interest. It seems the "rerun" shows on spike are simply fights from years ago and rehashed over and over and over again.

I downloaded the last UFC 101 or whatever it was (when forest griffin lost to Spider Silva) and frankly, if I had paid $80.00 to watch that crap I would be FUMING.

As for Lesnar: yeah, he acted like a dick but from all the crap thrown at him by that Big Mouth MIR can you blame him? Lesnar showed a LOT of self control when he was pounding the crap outta Mir, if I was him, and the guy on the bottom said I "punched like his sister" I would have eased up so he could recover a bit, then bloodied the fuck out of him, let him recover then pound the fuck over and over until his face was a bloody mess.

Then I'd lean over and say: your sister is pretty tough, you look like hamburger.......

yeah, that fight was a disappointment.

Forrest Griffin is usually tough as nails, and for him to crumble like that shocked me.

I look at more as a testament to how good Silva is, though. he was pretty much playing with Griffin.

agreed

Mir talks too much no doubt but something about Lesner causes me to instantly dislike him.
Silva is a true Champion. Skill and humble.

That fight was not a disappointment in my eyes at all. That's just another fighter totally dominating another.
that's fine, but when you "theorhetically" pay $80.00 to see it? You expect more than that......the whole evening was a crock IMO. As I said: I'd be fuming if I'd actually paid to see that debacle. If I had? I'd be after Dana White for my money back that's for sure......

BTW: on that same note, do you all realize that if you go to a movie, and after halfway through it you think it's a piece of shit and walk out, you can get your money back? They don't advertise this but it is part of the distribution policy.....

Brock is massive and is only going to get better. He already improved from his last fight and pounded the CRAP out of MIR. And Brock needs to work on sportsmanship.

I'm no fan of Brock but I think he was put in a tough situation....
I think many MMA fans took an instant dislike to him because of his WWE background....Also he has that look (steroid body builder look) that man fans don't like as well....

As a result fans hate him and boo him whenever they have a chance and I think he kind of plays into their hate (using the same theatrics he used in the WWE) to boost up interest in his fights...He knows most fans will never come close to loving him like other fighters like GSP or BJ Penn so he might as well play the heel and sell tickets that way...

You thought the reruns would be new fights each time? :confused:

I think Forrest Griffon is HUGELY overrated. He's a truly popular reality TV star from The Ultimate Fighter and he usually puts on good fights, but I don't consider him a Tier 1 fighter at all.

He has a great attitude and puts on bloody matches so I understand why he's popular. But he's never "wowed" me with his skills.

He's blue collar all the way and that is why he is so popular. I like him because I know that win or lose he's going to give you every thing he has every time out. When he sucks he just admits it. Sometimes he gets so ashamed of his performance he just runs out of the ring after a fight. He's caught alot of flack for that but thats just him, he's embarassed.
Dana White has said many times that the Forrest and Bonar fight on Spike was the watershed moment for the UFC and thus Forrest will be around for along time.

DUH...no....but there are/were fights going on all the time, not just for the UFC100 PPV events etc If you watch the shows on spike, very few of them were the UFC pay per view events, they were mostly just non-title fights. Just like HBO boxing, they aren't all title match pay per view events, they are just boxing matches.

Seems the UFC hasn't had any of these for over a year since they aren't putting out any new shows on Spike....For example: There was a UFC show put on in England, non-title matches, with Bisping, free on spike, and I've yet to see those in the reruns and it was over a year, almost 18 months ago.

Seems to me like maybe UFC is getting a little greedy and not putting on any more non-title shows, only PPV events and then not releasing those videos for a year (when it used to be about 4 - 6 months).

Well, not if he keeps taking punches like that. No one can survive the fight game long if they take that many shots to the head. I've noticed during his "talks" that he seems to be getting punch drunk. Same as stephan bonner: the last fight I saw him in he wasn't just getting into a slug fest, he worked on his submissions and took the fight to the ground as soon as he could.

Same as Chris Lieben. He said "he got tired of just going in and getting punched in the head" so he started working on technique, defense. He'd win, but he'd get bloodied up good.

Never did like Brock when he was in the WWE even less in the UFC. I'll never forget the wrestling match against Kurt Angle when he tried to do the moonsult and landed on his head.
