Vendetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Griffin and Tibau are going to the judges. Griffin dominated standing up, but Tibau was able to take him down three or four times. All three judges score the match 30-27 in favor of.....TYSON GRIFFIN!

Vendetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Rob Yundt Vs. Ricardo Almeida Yundt had three days notice for this fight as the original opponent was very very sick and couldn't fight. Almeida hasn't fought in four years. When he left he had a four game win streak. Yundt is 7-0 in MMA action and this is his UFC debut. He has won his last three fights by TKO. Fight over...Almeida wins with a arm in guitine.

apsham Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 So.. from the results on Sherdog... Lesnar was MURDERLIZING Mir until he grabbed a kneelock out of no where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Fight #8: -Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir Round 1: Kurt Angle and The Undertaker were both shown on screen with name labels to the live and PPV audience as both fighters were in the cage before the introductions. Now they just showed "Stone Cold" Steve Austin with a beer in his hand. Crowd cheered big for Austin. Bruce Buffer announces, with great passion, "the former WWE superstar - Brock Lesnar!" Now Sable is shown on screen. And it's time for round one. Lesnar immediately takes Mir down and has half guard. Lesnar is throwing short punches with furry. Ref breaks the two - apparently Lesnar loses a point for hitting Mir in the back of the head. No warning before the point deduction. Restart on the feet and Lesnar drops Mir with a big punch to the face. Lesnar goes berzerk on the ground with punches. Mir slaps on an armbar, but Lesnar escapes. Lesnar stands up and Mir grabs a leg and locks in a leg lock - Lesnar taps out! Frank Mir def. Brock Lesnar via Submission (kneebar) at 1:30 of Round 1.

apsham Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well it sounds like Lesnar has his agressiveness down... needs to work on awareness and defense a little more it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) That and UFC isn't like boxing..you just don't pay for the main event. You pay for the entire fucking card..because out of the 8 matches or so that they have 6 out of 8 are going to fucking rock. Not to mention this was Lesnar's second MMA match. Maybe he should have picked a weaker opponent. Edited February 3, 2008 by Wahoo Vendetta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krone Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I was a little bit iffy on the stop with Lesnar vs. Mir when Brock hit him in the back considering Horn got nailed in the back of the head and got no call. Bull-shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Kiniski Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) Sorry to double post, but I just re-watched the fight and noticed that when the fight is brought back to their feet Lesnar is indeed landing face shots, the head shots were over. EDIT* Shit, I would have stopped the fight a few times before the hold was even applied. Lesnar murdered Mir.

Mountainous Cleavage Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Jesus thats a letdown. Brock was doing so well with his punches and clubs, it almost looks like he threw the fight. And hey, who knows, he may have. Brock likes money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah but had he won he would have gotten another 200k on top of what he was alreadying being paid (250K just to fight alone..another 200 if he would have won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 If he wins that fight by stoppage either of his two takedown/G&Ps he goes into his next fight overconfident and gets his shit ruined. I'm not happy he lost, naturally, but it couldn't have come out better for the UFC. Lesnar comes in, dominates and still loses so Mir remains a contender instead of a has-been. I'll say this though, if Mir doesn't roll over and get the Hammer of God-fist into the back of his head, that fight's over right there.

TheSqauredCircleMessiah Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 To me, Brock's punches (when Mir was on his back) looked incredibly weak and undisciplined. Also, he looked kind of not sure of what to do when Mir was down and to me, you could see the wheels turning in his head and him thinking "Okay, what do I do next?" Him outwrestling his opponent and his lack of experience in striking is what I thought would happen. But then again, I'm a pretty novice UFC fan. Also, I was at a Buffalo Wild Wings, The Undertaker got a huge reaction and the place went BATSHIT INSANE when Brock got caught and tapped.

oldskool Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Did anybody else feel like he got a little cautious after the point deduction? Like once Mir started to roll away from him after the takedown he seemed to soften up, and when he was up and Mir was down he was really hesitant to do anything.

Guest Kou Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 The point deduction was pretty shit anyways, since Mir was turning away from him on the ground. If I'm ever and MMA fighter I'm just going to approach my opponents backwards so they get points taken off until they're DQ'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not even sure if you could call them punches when they were on the mat, he was more just hitting him with the bottom of his hand like an over-excited playground bully. It actually may have suited Lesnar to keep the fight standing up, because he took him down with ease and rocked him with that one punch. He'll learn and I still think he can become a sucess, as long as his heart remains in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Lesnar can take heart from that. He dominated the fight and got caught once and paid for it. I thought the ref was a bit of a bitch though. Deducted a point without even warning him once. Harsh I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
