What a moron with no respect for the sport, its fans, or his opponents. Fuck Lesnar

As for the Tattoo, I think that is you just judging based on your dislike for the guy. A good majority of the guys in MMA have retarded tattoos, look at the Johnny Cash tattoo earlier in the evening.

I expect some sort of punishment to be handed out to Henderson for his actions.

Pissed at the outcome, sure. I don't agree with the call the ref made on the punch to the back of the head. Either way, he left his leg, and Mir submitted him.

(yeah great wrestler)

I can appreciate that argument. However, in the post fight interview, Hendo admitted he knew he was out cold, and just threw that last punch in order to shut his bitch mouth up. So it had nothing to do with the ref not stopping the fight. it was a vendetta.

Were not talking about a fighter who didnt let go of a submission after a fighter tapped. We arent even talking about a fighter continuing to pummel a down opponent after the ref calls it. Truth is, the ref did not get in there in time. When he did, Dan stopped. Fighters are trained to fight as long as it takes to get the ref to stop it or a KO. He did get a KO, but for all Dan knew at the time, he may have seen a knock DOWN vs. a knock out.

Dan will be fine.

I hope we do indeed get to see Fedor come in and match up with Lesnar.

If he said it, then no sense disputing it. In this case, I dont think he should be held accounted for, especially if Bisping is ok.

Do you have a link to the statement?

Originally Posted by bio-chem

I read that he got a huge tongue lashing from dana. we will see if he is able to clean it up at all. I really think Fedor can take him though.

That would be a good fight, he won't finish Fedor and I don't see him maintaining that pace for more than 1 or 2 rounds.

Then again, I used to watch boxing only when there were some heavyweights fighting. I never cared for the lighter fighters despite the action they displayed. I cant count how many times Id see two tiny fighters swinging at each other AND CONNECTING while never seeing a KO. I am sure there are some, but Ive never seen it. Little power + big gloves = whole lot of nothing going on.

I just don't understand how people find interest in a bunch of tough macho men getting into a cage and beating the shit out of each other which lasts an average of 2 minutes and then talking shit afterward as if they accomplished something when all it took was one strong punch to the face (most of the time by pure luck) and then countless punches while the guy lays there unconscious.

UFC reminds me of Tennis, Golf and WWE. It is only popular during the "main events" (i.e. U.S. Open, Wimbledon, Wrestlemania, etc.) but other than that it is average at best.

Most of them have a huge amount of respect for one another.

Honestly you should stop posting in this thread, you're making yourself look extremely ignorant.
