In other news, Robert Principato the man who holds a loss to Greg Nagy is on suicide watch after watching Nagy's performance vs Walker.

Actually, Melendez/ Aoki sounds would be promising.

Random Thoughts:

- How much did Sims get paid to take a few punches and lay down? Easy money. Do I need to get my ears cleaned out or did I hear one of the announcers say Lashley was a 2 time wrestling champion? Hopefully they weren't talking about the WWF championships.

- I think Cyborg could have lasted at least 15 seconds with Nagy. Despite fighting a scrub, I thought Walker looked pretty good for his first fight. It's not often you see a guy almost 50 years old with that kind of body.

- Lawler's KO is the early front runner for KO of the year. That came out of nowhere.

- I'm use to watching the UFC so it was a little weird to see all the fighters come out to generic music and to see entrances shorter than 1 minute.

- Nice heel interview by Rex Ryan, lol. He really knows how to work the mic.

They might've been because he only won 2 titles in the WWE but 5 in actual wrestling:

Quote:

Lashley attended Missouri Valley College and was a wrestler for the Vikings from 1996-99. During his Valley career, Lashley was a three-time NAIA National Champion in the 177-lb weight class and earned All-American honors four times. He went on to become a three-time National Amatuer Wrestling Champion, a two-time Armed Forces Champion and a 2002 Silver Medalist at the Military World Championship.

177? Must have been a hell of a weight cut.

How much must it suck to be Nagy today? This is his job, what he wants to be his career, and he just got beaten by a old dude who's only been training for about 5 months. Yeah, Walker is in amazing shape, but still...anyone with any sort of ground game whatsoever should have a big advantage....

Is Wes Sims serious or is he trying to make up excuses from an entertainment standpoint?

Rex got fined for flipping off the fans after the interview: http://www.mymmaresource.com/rex-rya...iami%E2%80%9D/
