The Mir/Nog and the Jones/Machida fights were ****ing awesome....really showed how scarily brutal the sport can be. Poor Nog and Machida...

[spud_gun]

Not seen the Mir / Nog fight yet.

Could he have tapped before the arm was broken?

[Chrono]

Nope.

Of coarse but he is A Brazilian black belt under Hendo Gracie, he was not tapping, frank Mir knew this, so he took his arm home with him

[Nicey]

Haha that's brill! Eddie Bravo FTW!!

You done any BJJ nicey?

Not yet, we have a couple of high level black belts at our gym, but the idea of having a another mans knut sack in my face always gives me pause for thought

Mir is one of a few fighters who seem to go for the break rather than the tap if that makes sense? I'm sure most fighters like to apply the pressure enough to make the opponent tap out, not Mir.

I know what you are saying but he also said he knew Nog was not tapping

[meffin]

That was absolutely brilliant by Mir. To sweep a black belt of Nogs calibre that easily and then pull off a Kimura is serious top level BJJ

[Nicey]

Sure but lets not forget Frank Mir is a BJJ Savage and has been for an awfully long time, he has had his Black Belt since 2004 and it only took him 5 years to get it, which is practically unheard of, before he fell in love with Boxing he was a submission machine, he obviously likes breaking people, literally

Scary dude ...

I like him

[Gibbo]

Overeem Vs Lesnar tomorrow, whats your early predictions guys?

I'm thinking Overeem by KO, Start of the 2nd round.

[RichC]

hoping Overeem for this one. Not a fan of Lesnar, seems to have been placed straight to the top based on name rather than any world class MMA skills.

[spud_gun]

The Reem will ragdoll Lesner and then fail a post fight drug test

[Suarez]

Lesnar will do Overeem in the 1st.

[Alex]

Fitch got knocked out cold in 12 seconds.

Anyone seen the Lesner fight yet?

Details in spoilers

Overeem defeats Lesner in 1. Fight was much as expected. Lesner no match for the striking of Overeem. Couple of sickening knees to the midsection pretty much took any fight out of Lesner early in the first round. Lesner promptly announced his retirement from the UFC after the fight. Expect to see him back in the WWE in time for Wrasslemania
