Id like to see Alves, Mir and Henderson win.
I have the same opinion....except the exact opposite.
Either way, I learned a long time ago, that the guy that should be a clear winner, isn't necessarily the one who's going to come out on top.
GSP will PWN, let the french canadian pwnz!

Welp...not bad. I called 2 out of 3 of them.
Bisping....well, what can be said. His children are probably feeling that punch.
Another well deserved victory for GSP. Alves held up better than most and had exceptional power and conditioning, but he just couldn't match him in skill. Especially on the ground. I normally hate to see a fight go to a decision, but this one was about as clear cut as it gets.
Lesnar is an ANIMAL!!!! He pounded poor Mir's face into hamburger. Very impressed with his performance. There was actually one point during the first round that I thought we were going to see a repeat of their last fight, but Lesnar squirmed out of it. I know many hate the man and don't considering him deserving....but how can anyone deny him now? And I love his **** you attitude.
Whatever happened to guys like Arlovsky and Silva? Seems like their is no one to even challenge Lesnar in that weight class.
Actually....I took his response at that exactly being his problem. He said strait out he need to put more muscle on his frame to come up to that weight. 185 may be walking around weight, but he's not in shape at that weight. Besides...I thought you could fight in a higher weight class regardless of weight? I though it was the other way around that you had to cut weight to make a class, not gain it? Ideally, GSP should probably not deviate much more than 5-10lbs from his fight weight. The muscle/water weight he would gain would come at a penalty and I think his quickness and mobility would suffer. Those are his biggest strong points.That fight has to happen but GSP has to make the decision to move up a class, he said he had no prob being 185 b/c he walks around at that weight anyway.
Lesnar has no class. no surprise since he is a former WWE wraaastler.
fedor...Seems like their is no one to even challenge Lesnar in that weight class.
Lesnar has no class. no surprise since he is a former WWE wraaastler. i hope someone kicks his ass next time.
They need to match him up next against a good striker like Arlovski or someone who will make it dangerous to shoot in on.
I'm sorry man...I like Andrei Arlovski as much as the next guy, but he wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell against Brock Lesnar. He's far too timid to attempt to take the man down for starters and simply hasn’t got the oomph behind his strikes to get it done during stand up. Hell...look at the way he danced around with Tim Silvia the last couple of times they fough....he's lost his edge. And I don’t think there’s anyone silly enough to think Silva could stand against Lesnar. Hell, Mir broke his arm in 3-places and Brock destroyed him! In his prime, Arlovski may have put up a good effort, but at this point in his career, Lesnar would go through Arlovski like wet toilet paper...no question about it.
Even Fedor Emelianenko doesn't stand a chance IMO. He's known as a heavy weight ground and pounder His stand up game is awful. I think a lot of people are banking that his size combined with his Judo skills will get Lesnar down on the mat for a ground and pound, but there's never been anyone as big, or as strong as Lesnar in the UFC and the man has quickness that rivals that of a welter weight fighter. Watching the way he manhandled Mir last night was almost sickening.
There's no way that Emelianenko is going to be able to get in on Lesnar like he has on previous opponents. One thing we also know about Lesnar, is that 45-gallon drum like head of his can take a punch. And as far as delivering them....well, we all know he doesn't even have to connect dead on with his punches to devastate. The sheer size and weight behind those hams is more than enough to get the job done. He had what...all of about 4 or 5-inches of wind up behind those punches he was hitting Mir with...and he turned his face into Hamburger! Remember the glancing blow than knocked Couture right out of his boots when they fought? He's just too big, too strong and too fast. The man is a pure animal!
You don't need to like him, you don't need to respect him, but you'd be a fool to underestimate or ignore him. The guy is the future of the heavyweight division in this sport....hands down!!!
One Youtubers opinion....Warning...NWS, contains a couple of F-Bombs
I knew it was just a matter of time before Bisping got exposed. He rightfully lost to Mat Hamill he only won b/c it was held in England. I do not think he is the caliber of fighter that the UFC has placed him on.
+1 on everything. Andre is not the fighter he used to be and Tim Syliva would get murdered against Lesnar. Right now there is not anyone in MMA that can match him for size power and quickness. Someone mentioned a few posts up about how lesnar has not improved at all, I disagree. He did not make the same mistakes he did VS Mir as he did the last time. He was much more patient and did not leave himself open as before.
It gets the job done for now but what will happen when someone does manage to take him down and put him on his back?
At this point, we don't even know if that's possible. Put aside the fact that he's bigger and stronger than anyone else in the game right now, and the fact that he's as fast, agile and well conditioned as he is....this guy before getting into the MMA game was a world class wrestler. And I'm not talking about the WWE crap either. Most of his training and conditioning is for situations just like that.
He's also not one to stand there and let someone "pick away at him" either. He goes in fast and hard. The only way to defend against an attack like that from a man of his stature is to not be there when he's coming. That's pretty tough to do considering how much area this guy covers and the speed in which he covers it.
You've almost got no choice but to lock up with this guy in close quarters...and we all see what happens then. I sometimes don't think people realize just how strong he is? The traditional defense positions used with other fighter quite frankly are ineffective against Lesnar, since he seems quite frankly able to muscle past them. Its like trying to lock up against a Kodia Grizzly. If he doesn’t like the position you’re in, he’ll grab a hold of you and contort you like a pipe cleaner until he does....he’s that strong!!!
