This is Brock Lesnar's UFC debut, so we'll se if he can put his money where his mouth is. In only his 2nd MMA fight EVER, he's taking on the former UFC HW champion, Frank Mir. Mir is a far shot from Lesnar's first opponent Min Soo Kim, whom Lesnar demolished in a mere 69 seconds. Smart money's on Mir, but I'm about to splooge just thinking about this fight (in a totaly heterosexual way...)

Also, Timmy vs Nog for the "Interim" UFC HW belt. I wonder why its "interim" considering that current champ Randy Couture has publicly stated that he will NEVER fight for the UFC again.

I think that Horn/Marquardt has the ingredients to be the fight of the night. Horn is a multiple time world champ in BJJ, and Marquardt is a submission artist who has been King of Pancrase on several occasions.

We also get to see the 185 debut of Marvin "The Beastman" Eastaman.

Let's discuss.

Where you at Scott, who's your pick for Lesnar/Mir?

Nog won, becoming the "Interim" UFC HW champ.

Mir made Lesnar tap to a heel hook at about 90 seconds in, but Lesnar man-handled the f*ck out of Mir.

link to that fight ^

yeaa, Lesnar looked wild but was stupid and left his leg out there for a submission master to break haha. I think he does have a future in the MMA though. Chris Lytle's preliminary fight was nutty. And I was super stoked to see Nogueira get Sylvia in the guillotine. I hate Tim :)

Sylvia definitely earned some points in my book though, dominating Nog for 2 straight rounds, he looked way better than in his previous ...well..dozen or so fights lol. But thats Nog, you slip up once and he submits you.

Lesnar was too eager to finish it early, thats what cost him. But for only being his SECOND mma fight ever, he was damn impressive. He's supposed to be headlining a card here in a few months. His GnP was awesome, he will definitely be HW champ in a few years.

I've also heard rumors that Mir will either face Sylvia next, or the winner of Herring/Kongo.

so me and scott are the only ones who like mma? lame/

Well, we're obviously the only kool ones nah mean?

Also...the next card is stacked I can't wait.

Silva and Henderson is gonna be insane. Silva is gonna tear shit up.
I always love seeing Kongo fight because he is getting so much better and smarter as a fighter.
And Fitch..I cant say enough about him. My favourite Welterweight...He's an amazing fighter and so exciting to watch.
