| Re: UFC 81: "Breaking Point" Discussion
Twist, you may be upset about the 250,000 payday that Lesnar got, but in the end the UFC wins. That fight brought in a lot of buys, and got at least 3 new fans in me and my 2 buddies last night. That's the first UFC event I've seen, and I really enjoyed watching it. Lesnar has the opportunity to bring in new fanbase for the UFC, something I'm sure they are happy about.
As for the fight itself, Mir was smart to move his head, and unfortunately for Lesnar, he had a few blows to the back of the head. I agree with Dak in that it wasn't as much a "rookie mistake" as it was Mir being a veteran and knowing when to do what he did. Had Lesnar not landed punches to the back of the head and got Mir some time to recuperate....who knows what would've happened. I'm not saying Lesnar would have won, but the match would've ended differently. |
