Nah...no way was that fixed. I don't see that even being a possibility after watching that fight. That was a straight up shot by Lesnar.

How great is the UFC??? If a guy can come from fake wrestling and become the champ, how skilled are these guys really?? I guarantee you that no one from the WWE could come into boxing and become champ!

His entire life he has spent wrestling.  Boxing is a dead sport anyways and no one cares.  That's why no one from the WWE will become a boxer.

Do you think Lesnar is the best fighter in his weight class or did he go up against a washed up Couture?

Can you make more money being a top boxer or being a top UFC fighter? The fact is there is much more skill involved in boxing period!

Your right.  Boxers need more money because they have to pay people to serve them baby food when they retire from so many blows to the head.

You're an idiot.... first of all the heavyweight division in the UFC is weak as hell and Lesnar will lose his next fight to Big Nog. 
 
2nd off all Lesnar is an accomplished wrestler, 60 pounds heavier and 15 years younger than the guy he was fighting
 
Don't come in here and turn this into a mma vs boxing discussion

Boxing has 10 to 15 rounds so these "skilled" fighters can rope a dope around for 9, 10 rounds before really doing anything. Puhhlease.....Boxing is old, unentertaining and boring.
 
UFC is the real deal, get used to it.

The fact is the UFC is filled with a bunch of failed boxers who could not hack it. Are these guys good athletes? Sure, but they cannot do what boxers do, that is why they are paid pennies on the dollar compared to boxing.

I don't know...Brock Lesnar and Batista are 2 in the same. Obviously Lesnar is stronger, but Batista is a beast and used to "fight" Lesnar a lot on their way up to WWE. And who would really want to fight "The Great Kahli"? He is a scary guy to go 1 on 1 with whether its in the WWE, Boxing, or UFC. And that guy Vladimir Kozlov(looked his name up) from WWE looks like a big guy too. But still...who wouldn't pay to see a Khali/Lesnar, or better yet, a Khali/Kimbo matchup?

NO...Khali/Merriweather matchup.

da_kid, you're an idiot and an instigator
 
a boxer in an mma fight = broken arm, leg or neck
 
an mma fighter in a boxing match = most likely KO
 
they are different sports so why are you bringing this up?

You people really are imbeciles.

Do a little bit of research. Lesnar was an NCAA champion wrestler in college . He is a 280lb  wrestler and was facing a 225 lb wrestler. All things being equal he had the advantage. To say that the UFC sucks because a world class wrestler is a champion is assinine

Hey PopinGay,

If the UFC was so interested in wrestling and gay take downs, then why do the push guys like Silva and Liddell who predominantly stand up and throw punches?? The fact is, if they put a boxer in there, who knows how to throw a punch with 4 oz gloves on, what do you think would happen to there beloved stars. KO!

After watching that fight...all I really saw was guys leaning up against each other on the cage until Lesnar's knockout punch. Other than that, it was pretty boring.

da_kid,
 
well considering mayweather was already offered an mma fight and turned it down I guess we know the answer to that

boxing...
 
i honestly almost fell asleep on the last two boxing matches i have watched.. horrible anymore..mma is sooooo much better..
 
but anyways.. no way that was fixed,size played a big part.. brock is huge just look at his hands.. just like couture said, look at thoughs hamhocks coming at you..but i think if you get someone strong enough to put him on his back and keep him there it will get ugly for him.. he is new and looked pretty uncomfortable there for the couple seconds he was there..but congrats to him...

Put any of those clowns in the ring with Mayweather with 4 oz gloves on and what do you think would happen? He would murder any of those guys in his weight class. Silva was talking about fighting a washed up Roy Jones and Dana White nixxed that cause he knew he would be destroyed by that old guy in a boxing ring.

Oh...thats right...Mayweather, not Merriwether.
 
And Mayweather also chose WWE over UFC for a bit...obviously because of the bigger paycheck and lack of injuries.
 
Now thats stardom.
