UFC related: How much of a dick is Henderson for that post-knockout followup punch? - Dignan Jul 13, 11:14 5
- here's my take: it actually happened pretty quick. watching the fight I think it was obvious he was out immediatly, but then I'm not the one who was - dogbert183 Jul 13, 11:25
- I would expect him to get fined by the Nevada authorities and the only reason he's not fired ala Sobral is he is still a big name fighter. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:15 1
  - The thing is, the ref hadn't stopped the fight. As crappy as it was, it was legit. - Dignan Jul 13, 11:18
- See...that's what I said too. You "shut him up" when you knocked him out...that second punch could have ended his life...how can Rogan joke about that - Stephen Jul 13, 11:15 1
  - I was very surprised that he admitted it. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:20
I bought the UFC PPV on Saturday with some friends....first EVER PPV I bought....all good bars in my area had stopped taking reservations last week... - Walt_Disney Jul 13, 11:13
I think boxing has been dead for a while, and the UFC is simply filling the void. -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:10
ugh. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:10
Unfortunately true I think. - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:05 1
- I agree completely. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 11:07
I prefer boxing but it needs a reboot and the corruption needs to be removed -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jul 13, 11:05 2
- Sounds like MLB. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:06
- needs regular TV programing as well. Spike and UFC joined forces at exactly the right time -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:05
No, I think one is just run better than the other right now. - con_carne Jul 13, 11:04
Relatedly, b/c I missed it this weekend: why are people anti-Lesnar? - TFox Jul 13, 11:03 23
- Another reason: he's in it purely for the money. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:16
- has was 1-1 before being given a title shot. - dogbert183 Jul 13, 11:15
- Cock-chest. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 11:07
- He's a complete ass. I don't buy the easy road to the title cuz if he wasn't ready, either Mir or Couture woulda/shoulda beat him now. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:06 4
  - Lots of guys are "ready" for a title shot, but you should still have to climb the ladder like anyone else. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:08 2
    - They had no one else really; and they rolle the dice. If he loses to Couture, he's a footnote for 2 years if he's even still in the organization. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:10 1
      - I agree with you, he's certainly no Kimbo Slice (but Dana saw through his build from the get go) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:11
  - I can.not.wait. for Dana to sign Fedor to fight him...mega bucks all around in that one -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:07
- many of them think it's unnatural for two people of the same gender to have sexual relations. I have no idea. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:05
- die hard MMA people think he was pushed too fast and gets by on his size based on articles and blogs I have read...plus he's a shithead -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:04 13
  - so was Mir in all the pre fight matches he was jerk. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:10 5
    - er...pre fight interviews. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:11 4
      - pre fight is building buys though, not shaking hands, flipping off the crowd, shitting on your sponsors all dickish after the fight is over -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:12 3
        
        shaking hands? Why they heck do that...I find that pretty fake anyway.... - Remlik Jul 13, 11:14
        
        I guarantee his boss was muy muy happy with him in the morning. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:13 1
        
        yeah Brock said Dana took him behind the woodshed afterward -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:16
  - Yup. -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:10
  - Pretty much. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:06 2
    - I'm still amazed he hasn't tested positive for roids yet.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:07 1
      - ...yet -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:14
  - but it's fun to watch people try to beat a shithead champ, isn't it? otherwise the concept of 'heels' wouldn't mean anything. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:05 2
    - There's heels...ala Tito Ortiz.....and basically a guy taking a dump on the organization who pays him. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:07 1
      - totally agree he should not have done that. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:11
I haven't heard the buys for UFC 100 but it was expected to break all kinds of records for PPV buys -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:02
UFC has sold more PPV's than WWE & Boxing the last 2 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:02
Does it matter? They're both dead to *me* :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:01
