Protected more like. I wonder if it'd have took them so long to stop the fight had Lesnar been bashing Carwin's face in?

It should have been stopped.

The ref said that Lesnar responded to his instructions when given.

Bisping v Akiyama comfirmed as the main event for 120...

Very disapointing,why theve put a guy on the main event whos just been beaten by middleweight gatekeeper is beyond me!

I am a bisping fan but he aint a headline fighter neither...English fans have been short changed on this one.I will probably still go as i love the ufc events but a little underwelmed.

Because Bisping is the most well known british UFC fighter so put him against someone he cant lose against (ie, someone of below average skills) and all the knuckleheads who read zoo and watch bravo will be happy.

Appaling main event!

You've got a guy coming off a loss against a fighter that Bisping destroyed not too long back to fight that very person.

I for one am sick of Michael Bisping getting given easy fights on UK Cards to suit the crowds. I personally think the guy is a fraud who will never have the talent to win any sort of UFC Title, and only hangs in there because he constantly gets easy fights so that the UK Market has interest. Dana White is a smart man, he knows that having Bisping seem like a top fighter keeps the UK fans happy.

That being said, I like the Hardy/Condit and Hathaway/Stungun fights, just feel a little short changed by the card again.

Dan Hardy is the premier english fighter in my opinion

Me and the lads, who haven't missed a UFC in England, Ireland or Germany so far will be giving the one in London a miss and heading over to Germany in November instead which will cost about the same.

Appalling card. Although the Fan Expo they're supposedly having in London could well be on the cards for us.

Got to agree with that but needs to improve his al lround game and not just be a Brit banger like the rest..

Hathaway could be a breath of fresh air for the UK..Also a fan of Terry Etim who has more than just a stand up game!

Hardy has been on a sabbatical, travelling the world and working with the best wrestlers and ground game coaches around, trying to improve his ground game. Its not going to happen overnight but its a start.

Has anyone watched the Sung Jung v Leonard Garcia fight from WEC 48 yet?!

Seriously if you haven't....track it down immediately, it's possibly the craziest fight ever!
