UFC 100

[RockyBalboa]

I don't know if anyone is watching this, but I hope to see it on Sat. Should be a fun one.

Do you think Lesnar gets back at Mir or does Lesnar tap out again?

Also I read a rumor last week that Dana White has begun negotiations to bring in another former WWE Superstar....Bobby Lashley, but we'll see if that actually happens.

I have never watched it before, but I plan on getting 100 just because I am a sucker for marketing.

100 is a star-studded card. Best one on paper that I can think of. It will be on at my house.

I think Lesnar beats Mir this time, but I am intrigued.

This card is stacked. I want Lesnar to win. I think he can. Mir is underrated though and can catch Lesnar again. I've never been a GSP fan so here's hoping Thiago puts a beating on him. I keep not wanting to think Biping is legit and that Henderson has too many fights to be noteworthy. I hope Henderson knocks his block off. Fitch and Paulo should be entertaining. If there is one to buy, you'd think this is it.

I will be watching for sure.
UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar (3-1) vs. Interim Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir (12-3) for undisputed division title


I am taking Mir. I think his submissions are superior and his stand up looked really good against Nog.




170 lbs.: UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre (18-2) vs. Thiago Alves (16-3)


I am taking Alves, he impresses me and St. Pierre is a sissy last name.


170 lbs.: Jon Fitch (18-3) vs. Paulo Thiago (11-0)


Guess here, as I have never seen Fitch fight, Thiago.


185 lbs.: Dan Henderson (24-7) vs. Michael Bisping (17-1)


Heart says Hendo, head says Hendo is done. Bisping wins.


185 lbs.: Yoshihiro Akiyama (12-1) vs. Alan Belcher (14-5)


I haven't seen either of these dudes, so Akiyama I guess?

My call is Lesnar, GSP and Henderson. If Henderson gets Bisping down, Dan wins. That simple. Lesnar's ground game and general stand-up is better than Mir's, in my mind - Couture things that Lesnar lost because he was too aggressive and got out of position, and hence submitted. I think Lesnar is smarter and wins this time but it will be a great fight.

GSP is my second favorite, after Machida. He destroyed BJ last time in what was at least billed as a close match. I think Thiago gets worked.

This card better make up for that last Silva card.

I will be watching for sure.

Dude, Belcher is the guy with the Jonny Cash tat on his arm (I think). It's scary bad. We do nothing but make jokes about it whenever he fights.

If that is the dude then I have seen him fight at least once. I will stick with Akiyama. What possesses one to get a tat like that?

A warped sense of humor, I hope.

[Surfah]

[Pheidippides]

That's the one. Nothing like having to fight Belcher AND Cash at the same time.

IIRC, his entry music is a Johnny Cash tune, but I can't remember which.

I agree with most of this. I watched the Lesnar/Couture fight again the other night and while Lesnar wore down the much smaller Couture, he didn't really catch him or dominate him. Not the way he seemed to have his way with Mir early in their fight. And Lesnar is not actually that much heavier than Mir.

You have to think that Lesnar is better in every way at this point from the first fight, but Mir picked Minotaro apart and had him out to the shed, which I would not have predicted (well, okay I DID predict he would win). He seems to be at the very peak of his game right now and is miles ahead of Lesnar on the jits. Lesnar of course has the heavier hands and I don't think Mir will want to stand and exchange with him, but man was his stand up good against Minotaro. I think this one is hard to call.

See it's that Minotoro fight that has me hesitant. Mir looked dang good and I'm trying to understand what that was. Mir is talented no doubt. His BJJ is world class. He's a great wrestler. And as you've stated in that fight with Mino his striking was amazing. Part of me wonders if it just wasn't the octagon curse getting to Nog, despite his previous wins. But Nog is someone who went the distance with Fedor. Not once, but twice! That is unreal.

I don't want to admit the possibility that Mir is the best heavyweight on earth outside of Fedor either. But maybe he is.

Remember that this fight was supposed to happen back at UFC 98 but Mir was hurt again. That may play a role as the longer Lesnar has to train the better fighter he will become. Mir was laid up for a few months because of his knee.
