My picks
This is the first event where I’m picking with my head instead of my heart. Last event I ended up with a score of 9 on mmaplayground. Yes, I had a 9. I was near the bottom for the event.
Here are my picks.
Lesnar
GSP
Henderson
Belcher
Fitch
Coleman
Miller
Jones
Doloway (Not Doloway)
Gugerty
Looks like we are picking similarly, I’d pick lesnar to win, but I’m pulling for Frank.
Coleman “looks” in better shape this time, but I still doubt his gas tank.
Dolloway should win, but I’ll root for lawler

during one of the promos they describe bisping/henderson as being for a middleweight title shot- obviously this was in consideration but i thought there was possibility it would go to winner of maia/marquardt
if bisping wins for sure he'll get the title shot..
if hendo wins, they might consider the winner of maia marquardt for that.

The Ultimate 100 was good just, because you get to see the old fights with additional commentary. It’s all well put together, but between the way the fights were ranked and the omissions, it leaves a little to be desired. Yes, I listened to Kid Nate on MMA Nation as he railed against the UFC for erasing some of its history – i.e. Frank Shamrock, Tito, and Barnett. He has a point. I’d of rather them leave all UFC contests on the table for this particular exercise.
well i can't blame the UFC..
they do deserve the props, but if they give them more exposure, the opposing promotions would get more exposure too..

You know what. At this point I don’t think it matters. To me it would just show the public that the UFC is head and shoulders above the rest. I’m not saying throw them a party and give them a forum. Just include their fights.

A “robbery” would take an awful lot more than this. To have the announcers have proclaimed it as such 1 second after the decision has been handed down is just irresponsible.
They said "think"
they didn’t say “he was robbed” they said “I think he was robbed” which is a fair statement because I honestly feel the same way and I’m a defender of the word “robbery”

If one judge didn’t feel that Belcher won any round, then it’s a 30-27 decision, regardless of how close the fight was. (Unless the judge availed himself of the 10-10 option, which they seem strangely averse to)
Round 1 was pretty decisive, round 3 was very decisive.

Sorry Brent
I usually agree with you most out of all the columnists here (and your beard is cool) – but Bisping is a backpedaling jabber. Chuck in his prime and Rampage are counterpunchers in my opinion. Anyone who wins a decision and then says their plan was to outpoint the guy has no faith in their skill and is weaksauce.
Good in/out, yes. But you can actually attack a guy and still employ solid technique and footwork. Bisping doesn’t do that.
I still like you, though.
BOOSH
Right...
but it was good technique. Regardless of his attempt to finish it’s an odd thing to attack technical fighting (decision wins count the same as knockouts) style while also bitching about sloppy power shot heavy kickboxing

"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Was he suppose to tickle him to death? GSP does your so called “Lay n Pray” but Brock finished his fight.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing
in fact, I was being a bit sarcastic. Brock showed great skill MAINTAINING top position against Mir.
Brock had a great game plan, and when he pinned Frank against the cage after taking two shots to the head by knee strikes and capturing the leg that just cracked his skull, it was over. Brock does have a weight advantage that he uses, but I find his critics seem to think it’s the ONLY reason he wins. And it’s not. He’s smart enough now to get the fight fought where he wants it to be. And he showed that last night.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
No way will they give him credit...
…just like me. Everyone said Brock made a mistake in the first fight by giving that knee? I’m gonna say Frank blew it by throwing that weird knee and going to the ground.
Besides, they’ll fight again. I’ll wait to give Lesnar credit until after that one.
BOOSH
Yeah because Brock hadn’t shown the ability to put Mir on the ground with ease.

New Unified Rules
Any time a fighter is on top of another fighter, and the fight isn’t stopped, that will be considered Laying and Praying, and the former said fighter will be considered to be gay.
Due weighs 285
I’d lay on him, too. Mir was getting tired just fighting off Lesnar’s body weight.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
Why is it that people can’t understand that it isn’t always possible to be punching someone in the face while in top position? Lay and Pray? Do you think Mir is just laying there taking it, or do you think he is shifting his weight and attempting to improve his position? Is it possible Brock has to settle his weight on Mir and set up his punches? I’m so sick of the bullshit. Brock was incredibly active the majority of the fight. So was GSP. Give some credit to the guy on the bottom for neutralizing an attack.
That's the key - clearing space to strike the head
Brock did a GREAT job of pinning Frank’s arms so he could either attack the ribs or attack the head. Whichever Frank gave him, that’s what he pounded. Pretty smart move, in my opinion.

The swing fight was a bit weird. GSP is totally awesome. Henderson is good at cutting off the ring and forcing a guy to move to his left or stand in front of him. Lesnar did an amazing job but then acted like a really bizarre person. I almost felt like I was on acid when that fight was over. Did he really say all that stuff about coors light, beating Mir with a horseshoe from his ass and possibly getting on top of his wife later? Seriously? Who says that stuff?
