Looks like Mir is still hooked on the Lesnar loss.

Says Carwin is a better version of Lesnar.

I must admit I only started watching UFC because of Lesnar so I don't know much about Carwin. Maybe someone else could give some insight on this.

Mir is politicing for Lesnar/Mir III, I don't have a problem with it since the series is 1-1 but I think the third fight if it happens goes the way of the second, Lesnar by murder!

Has there been any update on Lesnar's condition?

i agree. Mir is such a Douche. He thinks he's God's gift to this world.

He was sympathetic to his medical condition? real sympathetic when you follow it up with "i'm going to break something on his body" or whatever he said. Especially when the guy you're saying that to just got out of the hospital. he also turned your face into hamburger the last time you fought.

When Lesnar got done kicking his ass the last time, he got in Frank's face and said "talk all the shit you want now" and that's all Mir has done since he lost, talk shit. he's a fuckin tool. Just the sight of the guy pisses me off.

Should be posted a page back or two. Yahoo article with Lesnar's trainer saying he is getting better but there is still no time table for a return. Brock is recovering at home spending time with his family according to his trainer.

I don't have a problem with Mir's attitude. Its just like when people were upset with Matt Serra for talking trash leading up to every fight he's every had. The trash talking builds hype and makes the fights more interesting. Mir has always been cocky and a trash talker, and he shouldn't change that up now. Fighters do what they need to get themselves into the right mindset for a fight. For Mir that means talking smack to/about his opponents. Now that Mir has reportedly brought his strength and conditioning training up to the same level as everything else, he's going to be scary. For years most people have thought that Mir was one of the most talented heavyweights in the world, the only drawback was his conditioning and strength training.

I'm looking forward to Mir/Lesnar III if it happens. A lot of good trash talking to make a rubber/grudge match a little more interesting.

Mir vs Lesnar III will be no different then the first two. Mir can only win if he gets a lucky submission and either way Mirs face is gonna look like pudding after the fight. The only difference is each time its only gets harder for him to catch Lesnar is a sub. Carwin and Velaquez? could both give Mir better fights then he could give Lesner.

Dana White to make good on bet and do base jump off of Mandalay Bay:
http://mmajunkie.com/news/17217/high-flying-ufc-boss-dana-white-training-for-base-jump-off-mandalay-bay.mma

Remember prior to UFC 100 when UFC president Dana White said he'd jump off Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas if the event garnered at least 1.5 million pay-per-view buys?

Well, the media certainly remembers.

And they're the reason White says he's been training and planning to make the leap.

After the beating Mir took in their second fight...he either has big balls to want to fight Lesnar again or permanent brain damage!

I think Jon Jones destroys Vera! Vera has a tendency to fight lazy and Jones is aggressive and will take the fight to Vera.

Carwin/Mir will be very intresting.

Kind of MMA news, but Shoney Carter was on Judge Mathis today. He was being sued. I didn't see it, but my wide did. She texted me to tell me. I texted back asking if he tried to hity someone with a spinning back fist.

Yeah Sanchez looks bad lol. He was destroyed in the fight though. His cut looked really bad on tv and did Clay Guidas where it looked like you could actually see skull. Dudes are tough though and kept coming.

where is the sanchez pic? i'm not seeing it

that's exactly how i feel. Vera won't be able to get his hands on Jones and if he does he'll end up on his back.
