Lol. They've gotta at least make it look somewhat legit. That Rourke fight was pathetic.

Yeah it was. I figured one of us had to make that joke.

It'll be interesting to see what weight class Punk fights at. I think he needs to try getting down to 170. We have no clue what his stand-up game is like; I've seen a few BJJ videos of him training and he looks good on the ground, but then again, most guys do in training.

Hopefully he has a better chin than Lesnar. He certainly won't enjoy the strength/agility/wrestling prowess that Lesnar walked into the cage with.

Punk will sell PPV's though and the UFC needs guys like that.

Ben Askren is a good follow on Twitter. I would love to see how he'd do in the UFC, but Dana doesn't seem interested in him and Askren isn't one to kiss his ***. Stalemate.

LOL. I hate Askren. No one ever said he needed more experience. They said he wasnt a needle mover and no one outside of hardcore MMA fans knows who he is and its true.

The guy's biggest wins are against Lima (who has no takedown defense) and Jay Heiron (who I thought won that fight). Now he's over there beating up cans in Asia. If he was smart, he would just STFU and come over to the UFC and win some fights. Winning is the best way to show Dana up. He could talk all the **** he wants if he wins in the UFC.

I'm with you. I can't stand Ben Askren. Any top 5 WW would destroy him IMO.

I wasn't able to watch this card when it was live, but I just watched the fights and Robbie Lawler's walkout was one of the best I've ever seen. I got goosebumps when he walked out. The crowd seemed so involved, and if I watched it live, I'd be on the edge of my seat for sure.

I'm so happy he's the champ.
