    My first thought was that Leznar looked bad, but then I started to think it was a combination of being on the defense 'cuz he didn't want to get hit, as well as just how good Overeem actually is. A lot of Overeem's fights look uneventful, but those knees and kicks are so accurate. I think the fact that he isn't reckless and is really accurate makes it almost seem uneventful... until he knocks someones block off! :shock: anyway.. I'm a big fan. :lol:
    When he gets his title shot that will be interesting.. I think it will be a way tougher fight for him.

    i dunno mike, i'm not that excited about Overeem vs Dos Santos. Junior is cool and all that, but it's not the fight for the ages that I was hoping for.

    Yeah same here. I believe it was due to the fact that I know little of Overeem. Guess I was hoping for more from Lesnar?

    Well, I am also looking forward to Overeem / Dos Santos. I think Dos Santos moves better than most if not any heavy weight and he does have some vicious power. The thing that makes the lighter weigh classes so exciting is when the fighters can move around. Watching two heavy weights just stand there and get knocked out with one shot is getting really old. I'm not sure if Dos Santos will be an underdog or not, but I'm looking forward to see him be impressive :!:

    Check out some of his K1 fights! Great stuff. Seeing him toss 200lb+ guys across the ring while wearing huge boxing gloves is hilarious.

    Good ass fights last night! I got the event free via Xbox live... This was the first event they were able to broadcast with no hiccups... Apparently they will be giving away so many tickets for free for every event! Here's to not paying $54.99 per event anymore!

    Come on. I think Mendes had a chance. That fight very well could have been going to the second round. One second away. Not sure how well he would have done in the second round, but it would have been interesting to see. Aldo is a beast! YES! His leg kicks are brutal and he did knock him the fuck out, but I would have liked to see what would have happened if Mendes didn't get caught.

    If Rampage can't beat Bader, I think he should retire...
    Henderson vs. Edgar should be an exciting fight.

    yes, this will be good. If the Ben Henderson from the Miller fight comes, it will be a good test for Edgar.

    Yeah. Henderson has really good speed, and should have an advantage power-wise. But, I think Frankie's footwork, boxing and takedown defense will be hard to beat. Henderson is going to need to close distance and make it a brawl.

    I've always been a huge Edgar fan, but Henderson is definitely going to be a challenge.

    Excited to see Sonen fight Silva again.
    But when did Chael start speaking of himself in the third person? Like he's The Rock or something... Some good shit talking can be fun, but going all WWE is going to get old real quick.
