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.

great post, I was thinking the same thing, in the Olympics they have a super heavyweight division to help level the field.
On paper, Fedor being 6-0, 230 lbs is at a huge disadvantage, can his skill compensate? who knows, he struggled a bit against hong man choi (330lbs), when the korean giant lay on top of him. I'd love to see Fedor destroy Lesnar as well.

bottom line is they all get into the ring to make money, right?
and yes, I'd love to see Fedor handle Lesnar

that damn lesnar!!!! he was such an asshole after the fight too

I'm just now watching the Lesnar/Mir fight. They said that Lesnar weighed in at 265 and Mir weighed in at 245... no that big of a difference considering it is the heavyweight division... and I'm sure they both packed another 10-15 lbs. on since the weigh-in.

It seems he thinks he's still in WWE, trying to be a bad guy... he seems like a big bully basically. He was somewhat of a jackass in WWE as well. He was champion early on. It's given him a big head to do all that in his 20's.

I went to school with Michael Bisping :)
- Didn't he get schooled by Dan Henderson?BannedKappa

great card....
gsp really took it to alvez, he was taking him down at will, and alvez was scared to kick or attack...
glad dan henderson knocked the living fuck out of that shit talker bisbing..... you knew it was coming and then... BAM.
bisbing isn't even in the same class as henderson.... he's got a looooong way to go.
lesnar i doubt is on the juice.... he loos flabby.... look at him during his wwf days, he was ENORMOUS and ripped. you could tell then he was cranking... now i highly doubt it.
haha yeah dude, fedor will DESTROY lesnar..... omg I can't wait for that fight. lesnar just comes off like an asshole.... he's just nasty and arrogant it seems.
plus the dude never deserved to even be in a title fight to begin with. he should have had to fight a few times before...

Anyone know where to watch a replay of this in the UK?

@ dconstrukt. totally true. Size and shitty attitude aside, why did he get a title shot after 3 fights?! Thats insane. Most guys have to put in 8 or 10
- he got the title fight because it would make a ton of money for the UFC, dana white said that.Sugary

Sigh. Lesnar is not on the juice, and anyone speculating so is really misinformed about the testing procedures enforced by the athletic commission.
If he was juicing, he'd be caught. Just like Sherk was, just like Stephan Bonner was, just like every other athlete who comes to the UFC to fight. He's just a big massive man. And to say he has no skills is a bit hilarious. The guy is a NCAA champion -- and I'm pretty sure no one on this forum has competed in wrestling at that high a level.
I have no love for this guy as a performer or his ridiculous professional wrestling career -- I'm judging based on his performances. He's in the heavyweight division. This is what you deal with in that division - often extremely large people.
It's not just Lesnar's weight that holds Frank Mir down like a ragdoll. BJJ/Sambo practitioners train to work AGAINST larger opponents, by utilizing hip movements and applying skill to gain and control position, sweep, and escape. The fact is, Lesnar is a huge guy who also happens to be an incredibly gifted wrestler -- and a solid wrestling base is one of the most advantageous skills an MMA fighter can possess.
So anyway, HUGE kudos to GSP for destroying Alves with ease, even with that pulled groin (fucking ouch).
And watching Hendo shut down Bisping put a huge smile on my face. Just a really great night all around.

Excellent UFC!
Henderson VS Bisping
The henderson knockout was RIDICULOUS. Stuff it Bisping.GSP Vs Alvez
GSP dominated Alvez outright, in both the standing and the ground game. GSP *IS* a world-class champion. It will be interesting to see if he bulks up to fight Anderson Silva - like he said at the end of the fight - he's always looking for a challenge.Lesnar VS Mir
Lesnar is just a moose... if Mir could have kept it standing up he might have had a chance. I'm just curious who they could possibly bring in at Lesnar's weight class who will even be able to bounce this guy around? Oh and yes, very unsporting conduct at the end of the match... at least he apologized during the post-fight press conference.

I'd like to see more of Anderson Silva. I saw him for the first time in an older fight last night where he just laid waste to Matt Hughes, or somebody like that.
- Silva is one of my favs. Hes fighting in 101 in a month. He never fought hughes though, to my knowledge.baseline_shift

I do have to say, as a fan of professional wreslting, it was sort of funny to see a WWE guy come in and beat the crap out of people... since they get so much crap talked about them. However I still didn't like his behavior that much.
