In order for this sport to grow it needs its share of "villians". It makes the wins by the "good" guys like GSP and Rich Franklin that much better. Especially if it was against somebody that you dont like. For instance.. BringBackHackney, you would pay absolute top dollar to see the fight between Brock Lesnar and Sapp and you would be emotionally charged the entire fight (even though i don't think the fight would last very long.. poor Sapp). And if Sapp DOES win, it would make your entire month. Jeremy is right.. In order for this sport to grow it needs its share of “villians”.

Didn't he just get KOed by Bobby Lashley, another former WWE guy? I'm sure he'll stand a chance against Brock. Bob Sapp? Didn’t he just get KOed by Bobby Lashley, another former WWE guy?

The fans were very direspectful towards him, Mir talked alot of trash to him, and still you want this guy to take it with a grain of salt? The fans that booed deserved the middle finger, his in their to fight not to become close friends with the so called fans. I don’t know why people complain about Lesnar’s actions.

Now I see why the fighter's are leaving UFC and can't stand that cheap-ass Dana White. $45K, after the millions from PPV? If I could ever fight like these guys, I would NEVER fight for $45K. Ridiculous. You could lose an eye or have heavy brain trauma .. for $45K? The UFC management are cretins. I can now see why Ortiz, Couture and the others said 'no mas'. Re. Lesnar, he completely turned me off the UFC. I let my 12-year old son watch the match as an intro, and got to see and hear the biggest piece of white trash in the world insult the crowd, the main sponsor and his wife. Never again ... and I am far from alone. Mir showed great heart and guts. I hope he is OK and fights again. However, he looks far from the 245lbs they had him listed at. He looked like 220 at best. Get Bob Sapp to get into a slug fest with Lesnar (Shrek). THAT I would love to see, and pray that Sapp knocked the white trash a-hole out. I just saw they paid Frank Mir $45K for the fight.

Some points I agree with and some I don't.Carlos made a excellent point on mentioning the stand up names/fighters in the sport who are keeping it in check. Though not a Lesnar fan I was glad to see him silence/get revenge on his old employer the WWE for how they made him look like a ass in his last per for view with them. However I think he needs to keep the BS to himself and this sport isn't about Brock Lesnar.He needs to forget about all the WWE entertainment crap and recognize that he's involved in a real sport now with big time sponsors ,not the candy bar and DVD game sponsors of the WWE. Dana White did a hell of a job in squashing his BS and hopefully will do so in the future.I think there ought to be suspension clause put into place for such actions as the other night. Can't agree with the bad guy statement you made.It's the reason boxing is in the bad shape it is in.I don't need Merryweathers for my kids to respect as athletes but good solid guys as the ones previously mentioned in MMA. The UFC is in a tough spot here.They got Lesnar because of his name and size but now they have nobody his size to put him in his place.They need to draw some big fighters to do so if not it's going to be unfair fights(size wise) from here on out and it will ruin the drawing power.I believe us MMA true blues want to see a guy his size manhandle Lesnar and put him in his place. Frank Mir wasn't out fought he was just out sized.If he were Lesnar's size he'd have the belt now ! I believe the UFC needs to look at the international market and bring in a animal his size to kick his ass for good. Jeremy,

If he was he would still be in the WWE. Brock is there to prove to himself that he is the best. Who cares what the fans really think.

They never said anything about Henderson, mostly because they want to wait and see what happens with Demian Maia.

Look at the way they're treating Henderson. They don't think a rematch against Silva will sell as many ppvs, so they're not going to give him a title shot, despite the fact that they said the winner would get that shot.
