    GG is quite a good fighter when he's having a good night. I could DEFINITELY see him subbing Lesnar.

    As for Carwin, Brock's standup, no matter how sloppy people may say it is, WORKS! He used it very effectively against Couture and Herring. He definitely has a lot of power and he lands huge shots when he lands. I think Carwin could lose on his feet and not be able to take Lesnar down.

    Jeez you bought the hype bad. Mir was seen as a sacrifice to make Lesner look good. It backfired. Couture was old and totally out of the sport.

    Ajax is on the UFC payroll. He gets paid to type this.

    I agree but he is still extremely fast and dangerous so thank god he made the transition eventually.

    I believe it's been pushed back to UFC 100 and Rampage-Evans was suppose to change to UFC 98 but Rampage isn't sure he wants to fight that soon, so that isn't set yet 100%.

    Mir a sacrifice?? Lesnar hadn't had a real MMA fight yet, I'm sure they could have given him someone a little less skilled then a BJJ submission expert.

    I'd like to see Lesnar fight Big Nog.
