    believes that Dana pretty much gave Werdum the #1 contender status at the prior PPV, so expects Nogueira-Werdum 2 to be the next HW title fight

    felt that Lesnar should have received a warning, but wouldn't have given him a point deduction b/c the punches to the back of the head were not intentional since Mir turned his head towards him, but agreed that Mazzagatti had the right to make the decision

    - stated that it's important for refs to be consistent with their calls so the fighters know what to expect

    - didn't feel that Mir was the right choice for Brock's first fight, Cheik Kongo was BJM's ideal opponent for Brock, and would expect him to be Brock's next fight

    - Brock won't sharpen his striking skills by his next fight, but is capable of taking down any HW and using a GnP

    - Mir doesn't deserve a HW title shot in his next fight b/c he was destroyed by Brandon Vera before winning his last 2 fights against guys who aren't top contenders in Hardonk and Lesnar (pointed out that beating a guy 1-0 does not mean a title shot in his next fight)

    - Mir-Sylvia 2 would be an ideal next match to stir up interest for both fighters

    Thanks for posting. I foresee a Mir/Sylvia rematch in the future as well.

    why not a mir-vera fight. one wants to bounce back from a loss and the other wants revenge.
