Overall I think it was a good show, but the fucking undercard was way too stacked to NOT show...
I just watched the undercard this evening and it was really solid, the only fight I didn't see were the two fights that splattered all the blood all over the fucking place... it's a shame... Watching CB Dollaway get choked the fuck out by some guy making his UFC debut was money and almost made up for it...
Coleman vs. Bonner was fun to watch. I always like to see an old guy come in and whip ass... Of course, Henderson KO'ing Bisping was cash money... That said, I'd like to see a Coleman/Henderson matchup. Either way Coleman/Bonner had me wondering, "why the fuck did I have to watch Belcher and the asian guy I've never heard of?"
Watching Jon Fitch man-handle Thiago was money too. Fuck that Thiago guy, he's way over-rated. Fitch on the other hand is one tough SOB. Again, it had me wondering "why the fuck am I watching Belcher fight again?"
GSP did exactly what I expected him to do... and if you noticed, his corner was real careful about not putting too much hands on him and an official checked his greasiness level at least once while in the corner. Either way GSP is no fucking joke, but I hate the fucking guy anyway. Oh, and my girlfriend and her friend noticed his package looked relatively large. Of course, compared to me that's not really hard to do...
Lesnar/Mir... It went down as expected. Lesnar gets someone on the ground, smothers them with his size and strength, then drops cinder blocks on their head until the fight is called. Personally, I'm not a fan of Lesnar because he's so amazing... I'm a fan of the guy because he's doing EXACTLY what needs to be done to the heavyweight division... get some real heavyweights.
For a long time the heavyweight division was soft... Lesnar is forcing it to become stronger. Bigger, stronger, heavier, SKILLED, guys... Not just a ton of guys who are too lazy to cut to 205 or are just BIG. There are a few of them floating around, but Lesnar shows what the future is... He's not the most skilled, but the fuckin' guy is no joke.
As far as his post-fight antics... Fuck it. I thought it was retarded, but I don't really care either. The guy spent the better part of the last 10 years learning how to work a crowd in mostly a negative way, now he's put in a position in which he has a microphone and a significant amount of adreneline pumping... I am not surprised...
Fedor/Lesnar... Sorry Fedor fans, I don't think he can handle the strength and speed of Lesnar. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that Lesnar drops him on his head and wins in the first round. Personally, I don't think the answer to Lesnar is Fedor... I think it's Carwin. Shane fucking Carwin. Fedor/Lesnar.... mmmk. Lesnar/Carwin... FUCK YEAH! Carwin's a decorated wrestler who is a MUCH better striker than Lesnar AND he's about as big. The guy's never been out of the first round because he has cruise missles at the end of his wrists... 11-0, all in the first round.
