I don't care who Lesnar fights, I hope he looses again. I guess I'm just a jerk.

[Jason]

Do you reckon they'll broadcast it in Vietnam? I wanna watch Lesnar.

[TRIANGLEFROMGUARD]

I would assume so. I thought you were in the uk? You can probably find out by contacting the local cable co. out there.

[Zaraki Kenpachi]

Anyone expect Lesnar to get tapped out again. If he's smart he would have spent the last however many months working on BJJ 70% of the time.

[TRIANGLEFROMGUARD]

Heath isn't known for his submissions like Mir is. I'm sure he's been working on his bjj. Heath is more of a ground and pound guy should be interesting to see how he deals with Broc.

Yeah, I agree with this. Herring is one of those guys who is hard to beat. He doesn't nesessarily have one area that he really, really good in. He's just kind of good at getting out of stuff and making a fight of things. It's a good matchup, but I'm not sure a good one for Heath.

I agree Heath has a good shot but, not a taking a two time NCAA national champion down kind of shot. Heath has better hands but, can he keep it on the feet. Plus I'm pretty sure that each one of Broc's punches feels like a freight train.

GSP – all the way. Kenny always finds a way to win but it will not be easy with Roger. Brock should be more savvy now & with his strength he can beat Heath this time. I’ve always liked Jason and if Manny’s shoulder holds up he should win. Why is Kongo in the prelims? The other guys I don’t know. More new blood coming up every day – can’t keep up.

Thanks,
Tom

I just watched the last Lesnar fight....I thought it was funny when he tapped. It looked like he was trying to spank Mir's rearend. LOL I also think that Lesnar has lost some of his size since being in pro wrestling. I still hope he looses again. I just wish someone were large enough to beat him into submission and win by striks alone. But thats just me.

I can honestly say that this is the FIRST time I've ever heard ANYONE say that.

I've made it a habit, that if anybody asks me where I'm going on holiday, I reply in a very rugged, heroic like manner, "I'm going to 'Nam... I got some unfinished business to attend to."
