    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

    Brock will be champion one day and GSP is well… a feckin legend in his own lifetime and still but a pup!

    Fitch was tough as old boots in fairness, but had no answer for GSP technically.

    Superb event.

    I’ve watched the opening of Brocks fight about ten times and it still amazes me how quick he reacts after he lands the punch. Herring had just fell to his arse and Brock started to charge. SCARY. There was a bit of WWE showmanship coming out of him aswell. Borderline disrespectful.

    Florian v Huerta lived up to the hype for me. Fight of the night.

    I agree. FvH was great.

    Brock was definitely over the top with the showman ship. 100% disrespectful. That said; many within the UFC are far worse in that respect. It’s marketed that way; “blood sports for all”.

    I kinda like the way he is in regards of fan reaction cause its not often you get a guy who doesnt suck up to the fans.

    Infact I wanted Florian to get on the mic and tell the fans they were idiots for booing him in the 3rd round when he was circling away. Can’t stand the fans booing people.

    I had to change my shorts after seeing Brock charge across the ring.

    Fair play to Florian – I can’t stand the guy but he’s an extremely talented fighter. Best performance I’ve seen from him so far, especially considering how much heart Huerta has. And yep, the booing was dumb.

    The booing got my back up too. Suppose that we just have to accept that the majority of people who watch MMA are not training themselves and have little concept of strategy They just want to see knocks and blood. Sad, but true.

    What about them taking the mic from GSP when he had something to say. They let BJ talk his talk; GSP had something more to say (let’s face it – he’s going to need longer to formulate his thoughts in a second language) and they took the mic away? Would understand if there were more matches; but it was the final match.

    Lesnar is such a BEAST!! He’s just gonna get better with every fight. I have to agree with Shane, I think he will be the heaveyweight champ in due course.

    Florian is probably one of the smartest fighters in the UFC. He’s up there with Randy for constructing a gameplan and sticking to that gameplan.

    GSP; without a doubt my favourite fighter!!

    So what do you reckon Cathal? Pendred vs. Lesnar at a cinema near YOU?

    I dunno…Im gonna play devils advocate here and say I liked Lesnars gamesmanship.Basically he was just simulating “reeling in the big fish”. No one got up in a heap after BJ penn told Sean Sherk that “ he was a dead man” over the mic. Bring on the gamesmanship. I am so happy Brock won, did not want him to turn in to a sideshow

    Know what you mean. To be honest though; I’ve already expressed my distaste at BJ’s arrogance. Sure, he’s good. But, the thing is – with other you get the impression it’s “Showmanship”. With BJ, you get the impression he’s fallen in love with himself.

    Of course, it’s BJ. If I was that good… …I’d probably love myself too! :-)
