It takes a while to get in to it. At first I didn't get the ground game, but the more I watched it I grew to understand it.

At some point I want to get in to training for fitness and more understanding.

tbh my interest was first piqued after seeing a bootleg vhs tape that was doing the rounds of some mates from the early/mid 90's which was pretty much royce gracie choking the crap out of everyone, but that was when ut was like bloodsport and wrestler v kickboxer V BJJ rather than everyone being multi skilled(to a point) like it is now, and not being someone in a Gi versus someone in shorts and a t shirt with trainers.

I think a lot of it comes from not knowing much about any of the fighters except Bob Sapp and Brock Lesnar. I also think the fact Lesnar is a credible champ takes away from UFCs credability. I find all the "ground game" boring too.

as someone has said getting to know the ground game can be hard but when you understand it the sport is far better, it’s like a game of chess really in a strategic sense, seeing what people are doing and looking to exploit.
As someone who has progressed with my own martial arts for about 15 years seeing the likes of pride, ufc and so on show what works best really, coz in the old days in Asian and so on when people fought it was to the death or for the closer of the school, so it was avoided.


i don’t think people like brock lesnar take anything away from the sport because you have to remember the was a world class wrestler and i dont just mean WWE i mean 2 time all American wrestler with some good boxing skills from his younger days, and with his power and speed (and i think it was two years training) he is tailor made to fight

The guy's a beast!

He is a multiple time all american wrestler, and an all round genetic freak. He needs to have his gloves specially made due to his hands being that big.

He's scary!

5XL his gloves are!

He's very very quick for a guy who has to diet down to make heavyweight!

Do you see Mir doing anything against him?

In the first fight Brock was destroying him until he made a rookie mistake I'm not sure he'd make again. That being said Mir's striking was amazing against Nog.

Which way do you see it going?

Mir is massively improved since they first fought,however so is Lesner. If Mir can stay out of the clinch and get in range i can see him frustrating Lesner into shooting and getting caught. Mir IMO is the best submission heavyweight in the world (better than Noguiera).

Lesner has those big blocks for hands and as he showed against Randy, it only takes a couple to send a bloke to sleep.

Very hard to call but i'll go for Mir in the 2nd.

GSP vs Alves is the fight of the card for me! Alves is bigger and stronger than anything GSP has been in against. Those leg kicks are awesome too.....would lmagine GSP will be taking this to the ground!

Interesting fight!

What a lot of people don't realise is that Alves has half decent BJJ himself (apart from getting tapped by Spencer Fisher). A big question is whether or not GSP can take Alves down, Hughes and Koscheck have both failed to do so. If that happens we could see Alves causing an upset KO win, we've seen that GSP has a glassjaw in the Serra fight.

Can you see Bisping doing the business against Hendo?
