But when Brock got up in Mir's face afterward and flicked off the crowd and pulled that WWF stuff talking about taking the horseshoe out of his butt (whatever that means... lol) and laying on his wife, it's unnecessary and it's bad for the credibility of the sport.

It's got nothing to do with a WWE guy dominating the UFC. I like that someone is so dominant. Like I said in another thread, it's going to be fun to see who Dana White and Joe Silva can put in the octogon to give him a match... other than Fedor (and I'm not even sure about that), I don't know who could.

It's about getting respect and credibility for such a great sport that has gotten a bad wrap in the past. And Brock did nothing but take several HUGE steps back in that respect.

Yes, I'm sure it will get more people watching and will make the UFC more popular. But it wont make the SPORT more popular, and it really tarnishes the reputation when you see a guy out there doing the same stuff they do in fake wrestling, something UFC and MMA has been trying to distance itself from for years.

they do the same **** in boxing man

I hate fake wrestling but I love Brock. Even without the apology I didn't care about what he did after the fight.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Yeah he was in Mir's hometown and everybody was against him, I don't blame him.

This isn't boxing.

Boxing is a joke with corruption and 1000 different titles. To me, boxing is quite boring as well... but that's just my opinion.

MMA has a chance to be something so much better. The BEST fighters in the world are in MMA, not boxing.

Yeah, that was awesome.

GSP: I pulled my groin.

Greg Jackson is awesome. I was thinking earlier how he should probably end up in the UFC Hall of Fame some day. He's coached such an incredible list of UFC fighters and done it so well.

Re: UFC 100

I almost wonder if Brock's antics after the fight were Dana's doing?

Because when the guy was doing the ESPN interview, he didn't come across as a bad guy really. He said that his only beef with Mir was that the guy had beat him. I can get that.

In any case, the guys saying Brock is good for the sport are right---it makes me think of the Pistons teams of the 80's. It helps to make things interesting. Even better I think when the villain is wicked good at his craft.

Re: UFC 100

To me the second shot on Bisping wasn't bad at all. You fight till the refs step in, just like in football you play till the refs blow the whistle same thing.
