    What was up with the referee during the Sell/Brown fight? WTF is he thinking stopping the action - then telling the fighters to resume fighting? You either jump in or you don't.

    He felled the Giant Oak with half a punch! Crazy power. Gonazga's still a beast, but Carwin's a beast slayer. To hell with Mir, Carwin Lesnar would be a far more entertaining fight.

    Yeah, Carwin vs. Lesnar would be awesome. Two huge guys with good wrestling. Lesnar takes it on the ground, but Carwin has better hands. That fight would be a doozy.

    He thought Sell was out, then realised he wasn't, so changed his mind. He made a mistake, but had the balls to let things admit that and let things go. A lot of refs would have tried to cover up their mistake by sticking with their premature stoppage.

    That was hilarious. I'm not sure if Dana is laughing, though...

    Carwin did prove himself, but overall it left me with the impression Lesnar would dominate him.

    Anyone give the Dean of Mean Keith Heugine a chance?

    If he stays on the outside with leg kicks, he's got a shot. But changes are, Rampage will catch him. Jardine tends to stick his chin out there.

    Yeah thats about baldy's only chance - try and chop him down with relentless leg kicks. Rampage has devastating one punch KO power and Heugine's vurnerable to that.

    If Jackson wins it he should have to fight Machida as a decider to fight Evans.... Na on second thoughts it would be better if Rampage destroys Jardine and Evans that would set up the Machida fight incredibly.

    It's a thankless job to be sure. It didn't adversely affect the outcome of this fight at least.
