Title fight
Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir
Mir beat Lesnar in their first fight but since then Lesnar has had dominance of the heavyweight devision beating Randy Couture for the Heavyweight Belt...
Who do you think will come out victorious from this "battle"
Im hoping for Lesnar to win but Mir is fantastic on the floor and i doubt he will want a standup fight with "meat fists" Lesnar lol

Mir has improved his stand up a lot but yeah there's no chance he'll want to stand and trade blows with a monster like Lesnar. Mir's problem will be taking Lesnar down, I believe he has yet to be taken down by anyone? His wrestling is world class and is ground game isn't as naive as it was when he left a heel out for Mir to grab the first time around. I'm going to go for Lesnar by tko on the ground.
Lesnar fight is only the icing on the cake as well there's another couple of huge fights

Hammer has said exactly what I would have tbh  Lesnar made a rookie mistake in the last fight and that cost him. Since then he's improved immensely as a fighter, and I think it'll take another silly mistake to defeat that beast!
I'm more looking forward to GSP vs Thiago Alves though  GSP is quite simply incredible. And I think he'll win it with a 1st or 2nd round knockout. That's not to take away from Alves, he's a good fighter as well but GSP is on another level.
And Dan Henderson vs Mike Bisping should be ace as well. Obviously I'm wanting Bisping to win that yin

True indeed, GSP is amazing.. Best in his weightclass for sure. Would give that fight to him
Im not much of a Bisping fan anymore.. have heard that since he dropped a weightclass hes really improved his game
Agree with both of you though.. Lesnar = Monster Mir will have to be on top form to stand a chance against an ever improving lesnar

I just want Bisping to win because he's been the coach for TUF USA vs UK

yes the sanchez/guida fight was a brawl!
I went to the same school as Bisping, obviously quite a few years after
Hope he comes out on top, one step closer to a title fight and making ufc and mma in general even bigger in this country.

Sanchez and Guida fight was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time, Guida is an animal and seems to feel no pain, many a fighter would have been out from the repeated elbows to the head, so much blood aswell. I really hope Bisping wins, I think he will tbh but Henderson is no rookie is he, it'l be a brilliant fight non the less.

They'd be hard pushed to put it on a non existant channel
UFC tore up their contract with setanta a week before they went into administration.
