    Suprisingly, Mitrione took out another heavily hyped fighter in Kimbo Slice. I'm not sure if his victories over Lewis and Slice say more about him or them?

    Says something about them, the state of HW MMA and what good PR does. If Mitrione and Jordan had the kind of backing Lewis did from the UFC it's very likely their careers would have panned out differently.

    As previously stated, I’m not big on mma in general so my knowledge base is limited in this sport. So my question is was Lewis’ win over Chris Daukus a good win? Or is Daukus an average fighter and beating him isn’t that big of a deal? Any insights from UFC/mma fans are appreciated, thanks.

    Daukus is an okay prospect that the UFC decided to throw to the wolves, that's it. Tom Aspinall is the guy you should be watching out for in the heavyweight division - he's pretty smart in the way that he insists on moving up the rankings gradually instead of being fed to a guy in the top 5 so early on.

    Wow someone actually gets it! Tyson Fury said something similar before in an interview along the lines of "It's simple if you can fight, you can fight" People on forums be swearing you need to be a technical wizard
