    Hope you didn't go straight to bed after the main event! The fight Setanta showed just after it (Kiely v Brazilian lad) was the fight of the night in my opinion. Very enjoyable 3 hours of fights though!

    Thank God i didn't. It was a most excellent PPV.

    There has been numerous people who have fought and wrestled same times at the same time especially in Japan. Pro Wrestlers are tougher than people give them credit for.

    Where was Sherdog when Dan Severn carried the NWA title out to a UFC fight?!

    . Not too sure I'd be that excited by a Mir/Lesnar rematch.

    I don't think you'll be seeing it any time soon.

    It was a great card for casual viewers to get into MMA too I thought.

    I was with guys that I would watch big boxing cards with. For example by the time Hatton and Mayweather fought last year everyone was half asleep after watching the brutal under card. This card was so good that the time flew by.

    Not to mention when Sakuraba won a UFC tournament and said afterwards that "pro wrestling is strongest"!

    Poor Sherdoggers :pac:

    Never saw that UFC Japan actually, must get some mare of them Silvervision dvds.

    I wonder what the next step for Couture is now ? Much point in having him face the loser of the Mir/Noigera ?

    Thanks for that chief.

    Vince McMahon disagrees with me. From wwe.com:
    LAS VEGAS - In a stunning upset, Brock Lesnar became the first man to capture both the WWE Championship and the UFC Heavyweight Championship when he defeated UFC fan favorite Randy "The Natural" Couture on Saturday night in Sin City.

    Lesnar, dubbed "The Next Big Thing" upon his arrival in WWE, earned the moniker and his first WWE Championship in 2002 after besting The Rock at SummerSlam. Thanks in large part to the backing of the WWE Universe, the former college wrestling phenomenon went on to regain the title twice, both times against Kurt Angle, once at WrestleMania in 2003 and then six months later on SmackDown.

    For Lesnar, the road to UFC gold proved surprisingly short. Within roughly six months, the former WWE Superstar climbed to the top of the ultimate fighting heap, capping his ascent with the upset victory over Couture.

    Critics have noted that many of the fights on the UFC pay-per-view ended in the first round, leaving UFC producers scrambling to fill the three-hour event with content. The dearth of hearty competition left many viewers to watch less prestigious under-card fights and only served to bolster claims that UFC pay-per-view events can often be a "crap shoot" in regards to filling the full three hours.

    For his part, Lesnar took the encouragment of the WWE Universe and the hard lessons forged during his fiery time at WWE and showed UFC and the world why he is not only a man of mettle but also a former three-time WWE Champion.

    Vince put the belt on Brock in less than 6months!


    Sour grapes if you ask me. The supplement fights from the pre-lim card were great. Better than what Vince's putting out.

    Vince seems to realise that the UFC are competition again. They seemed to have some sort of falling out, considering that the UFC didn't use any WWE footage in the build up to this fight

    Don't think I have ever enjoyed a show as much as that. The sense of anticipation when we watched it last was was great. Brock was a deserved winner. It must eb a scary sight to see him above how dropping hammer blows to yuor head. I also thought he was very humble in the post match giving kudos to Randy before acknowledging anyone else.

    Lesnar has not impressed me in UFC at all, sure he's on a learning curve. But sticking him in there with a guy as experienced as Couture, a guy who has been known to break bones in his hand and still keep on punching?

    Sorry, but i think Lesnar is going to get absolutely destroyed in this fight.
    And i'm psyched for it personally.

    VR!

    But that's ok, Brock doesn't go down when he's hit... lol
    Hey dancor, stay away from the man who answers to the name of Paddy Power

    Fixed that for ya, pal.

    Youth, Power and Confidence is no substitute for the experience Randy is bringing to the table. Said it before and will say it again, Couture will knock Brock's block off.

    Get this guy some humble pie. ;)

    Seriously though delighted for Brock. A genetic freak and after a rough few years following his quitting the WWE, he's made something out of himself.

    Here comes the pain!
