    Miocic via Submission
    So after sitting down and watching the full fights I can't see how anybody thought Punk done well off his back, he threw a horrible attempt at a strike and got taken down then survived until the tap was forced. As Joe said this is what happens when a brown belt rolls with a white belt.

    Anyway I do give him credit for giving it a go, I don't particularly care what he got paid for it.

    All these people saying they'd take the same beaten for the money he got, I doubt you would genuinely quit your job, train for best part of 2 years experiencing grueling training and some injuries, make a weight cut and step in there with a younger better more experienced fighter.

    Really? For 500k (maybe $1m with PPV) i'd expect most would do it.
    But the money is only on offer if your worth millions in return, so it's a moot point.

    I'd do it happily for the bones of $1m.

    Fair enough, I suppose my point was I just doubt alot of peoples mentally capability to actually make it to fight night.

    Anyway I just don't like what I've seen from people who're trying to discredit him or say it didn't take balls to step in there.
