What's wrong with the said "commitment", are you against someone doing this full time? What are your views on NHL, NFL and other athletes that are not doctors/lawyers by day and pro athletes on the weekend?

Just curious.

I think that you may have taken some offense to something I said. Certainly not my intent, nor was it my intent to inflame a discussion.

I have a bias after being involved in the competitive and the business end of it for quite some time bro. That is where the opinion and bias come from.

I get all of the reasons that we see more "freaks". In another time, I'd be more irritated on all fronts, but as I'm not involved in the business of it anymore; I can sit back with my haughty purists opinion and bitch.

It was definately an exciting event, no doubt about it. The Carwin/Lesnar fight was just one good fight amongst many that evening.

Leben fight was good, but I could do without the showboating, etc.

It was an awesome card, capped off by a GREAT heavy weight fight... I personally was rooting for Brock and really have a new found respect for his skill set after making it out of that first round (even though i thought the fight was going to be stopped).

I feel bad for Valaquez, as I personally think he has NO idea what he can do to beat Brock since his hands create about 1/2 the damage that Carwins do...

Who thinks Carwin vs Fedor will be the next big Heavyweight battle? I say Carwin, because Dana made it clear he will not be "handing" a title fight to Fedor after his recent showing...

That's my point... His contract is no up @ SF and he will be looking for a fight in the UFC... most MMA fan's want to see him come to UFC to fight Brock...

Not gonna happen, just like in the past his managers will want to co-promote UFC events along side M-1, and yea, Dana White will not be a fan of that.

Tsar, I think this loss will give them MUCH less power, I believe we will see Fedor in the UFC.
