niko,
Here's a great post I just replied to on sherdog about this:
------
Imagine if a 155 NIck Diaz fought a 205 Griffin. Lesner, going into the fight at around 285 fought Mir, who struggled to put on 245, basically should have retired if he lost again, to a man who gave him 50 pounds. What bothers me about Lesner is that he thinks he is that much better than Mir, NO, you are just bigger. When you lay on them as you did tonight, Mir has no shot at getting up. The Heavyweight are at a big disadvantage. It use to be that the heavyweights were just big, overweight sluggers, therefore the commission just catagorized them all at 207 an up. Nowadays you have guys like Mir, who are a very fit, strong with little body fat. They deserve a heavyweight division that is more restricted. Lesner should be humble and embarrased that he had to fight someone that was 50 lbs smaller than him. Until Lesner fights a guy that weighs in around 265, I will not give him my respect, as I wouldent a 205ér that beats a 155'r. Why does the commision not allow a LW to fight a LHW, but yet allows a 225lbs guy to fight a 265 pound guy,and lord knows it is more like 280 fight time? He has no class, and his after fight attitude showed that he has not been in this sport long enough to respect your opponent after the fight. He is in it to beat up guys and money, not to perfect the sport of mma and appreciate the game.
