Whats crazy is he was losing that fight through 2 rounds and stayed patient and found his timing. Cyboyg gassed a little bit which helped but Mein seems like a great prospect for a 21 year old.

I had it tied after two but I could see how round two could have went the other way too. Cyborg definitely won the first though.

I loved the liver shot, can tell he's trained with Bas.

Don't know if anyone posted this before or not but...

"ESPN MMA - Jon Fitch to face Johny Hendricks in welterweight bout on Dec 30 at UFC 141 in Las Vegas"

I think this is a great next fight for Fitch and even better for Hendricks who has looked great in his last few fights. He is one that I am really starting to like.

This. That is damaging to the card for me. Glad I will still buy it for Brock and Overeem.

I dont think Fitch will have the TD success against Hendricks, could be a brawl on the feet. Johnny Hendricks was a great collegiate wrestler.

I like this fight, Hendricks has great wrestling and knockout power in his hands, dangerous fight for Fitch really.

This card is gonna be stacked, it might break the UFC ppv record based on Brock and Reem alone.

Tarec Saffiedine and Jorge Masvidal are two I want to see also. Would like to see Daley back but I doubt that will happen. Call me crazy but I want to see Fedor, plenty of great match ups for him at HW or LHW. Let him win a few fights then get his ass in there. Man is still good and plenty dangerous imo.

I know, that's why I said let him win a few fights and then get signed.

Fedor couldn't beat anyone in the top 5 in the UFC hw division. He just lost to a 185 pound fighter. The only fights he wins these days are against people like Jeff monson

Cormier's hand is broke but he feels he'd be ready for an early 2012 tourny final:

That and Dana I am sure is well done playing their game after Dana tried and offered him more than any fighter in history (MMA wise).

I almost get the feeling with his broken hand we may never see the final fight

Rumor has it that Brock is bringing in Greg Nelson and Badr Hari in to help train him for Overeem.

He needs it, Brock is a freak of an athlete and is as powerful a HW as we have seen. However, his standup is horrible and his standup defense is even worse.
