blonde poker forum

This is prob one of the best ufc cards there has ever been but does anyone know if it will be shown live on sky somewhere? Setanta going bust seems to have left the ufc nights up in the air now.

Hope some station shows it.

I will be on complete lifetilt if its not on anywhere. UFC is the biggest reason I got setanta.

Presume there will be several shitty links for live streaming on the net though

Bravo or terrestrial, it has been confirmed that it will be shown live in the uk

Come on Frank Mir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET IN


and this pls

Do youse honestly fancy Mir? I think big brock will stop him just needs to stay off the ground. The GSP fight will be a cracker too.

Brock would never beat the Frank Mir of 5 years ago, now it depends how training has gone in the run up and Brock would be a fave but i wouldnt rule out a Mir win

Brock and Gsp double pays about even money ;all-in;

This is obviously gonna own. UFC to make an announcement on Monday regarding new channel. Seemingly there has been 6 bids.

The standup in the HW title fight should be interesting - Mir displayed much improved boxing versus Nog whereas Brock obviously has the boulder hands. Although it could be standing for all of 5 seconds.

As always there should be some decent betting opportunities.

Gooooooooooooooo Bisping!!!

I dont think Bisping is 11/4 shot against Henderson.

Stick our fancys here to see if we can make some $$$

I think Hendo is getting too old and is no where the fighter he was against Wanderli and Rampage in Pride

Bisping to win a Decision!

Brock win with a Haymaker!!

....Can't believe no one has mentioned the biggest fight of the night IMO, GSP v Alves! OMG what a fight this is going to be!

Thiago Alves to be crown champoin with a Ref Stoppage through Ground and Pound!



Does anyone fancy having a wee Fantasy League for UFC events, my cousin's and I are in a Fantasy league on the official UFC.com web page.

If anyone fancies it, post here in the next few days and ill get a Blonde UFC Fantasy Leaguie set up by midweek, giving plenty of time for your picks(The picks must be submitted 3 hours before event starts) (you get points by predicting the winner/Method of Victory/Round won/Minute in round won). You will also be in the overall league too where top 20 win prizes. I actually cam 54th after UFC 96 or 97, its not like the EPL where there are 1,000,000 Entries!

Anyone?

im in

Has it been confirmed what channel is showing this?

not yet

The TUF Finale had some abs ridic value, I tipped up Pearson (2/1ish) and Wilkes (11/4) who won and if Lester had won I would have scooped massively.

Where are you seeing this 11/4 about Bisping? I agree he's the value at 100 and if you have found 11/4 somewhere I'll need to be snapping it up. Was 3.1 on Betfair last time I checked.

Jake obrian former HW with a lot of knockouts at 4-1.
Paulo thiago at 4.5-1 dont look too bad either, guys got some power and good subs, he won't be able to take fitch down but he could be dangerous from the bottom.

Don't think either will win but I suppose if you can get those prices it's ridic. Can only see 7/2 best price for both.

yeah we all saw how hard fitch was to finish vs. gsp so I don't see how Paulo can do it, but a sub could be possible.

Jones is still untested though his chin too, going in vs. a big former HW i could see an upset here.

I know nothing of Alves so cant comment on his fight.

If Mir can get to the ground with any sort of control he will own Lesnar, he can catch a sub on someone like Lesnar so easily.  Lesnars best chance is to keep it standing and try to land a big shot.  Cant see it going to round 2, Im taking Mir by submission all day.

Id love Bisping to hammer Henderson but cant see it happening, I think Hendersons wrestling is too good I think all of this fight will be on the ground.  I think itll be a fight for position with Henderson controlling the ground game for a comfortable decision win.  I can only see Bisping winning this if he can stay in the clinch and rain in some knees.

this ufc is so sick.....im on the fence in mpretty much all the fights! in the machida vs evans fight i was sure machida would win but ever fight in ufc 100 is sick close.

yeah and if I could get him tied up in chains on the ground I could knock him out (with a baseball bat) so easily.... :)

still no TV announcement  :( :( :(

cross posted on the baseball thread  (from digital spy)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
It's four days to go until UFC 100, and there's still no TV deal announced for the show - it's expected they'll sign a one-off for this show and then sign a long term deal from 101 onwards.

The Telegraph say it'll either be Virgin1 or Bravo showing it, and that the announcement won't be made for another day or two. They also say ESPN or Five are likely for the long term deal.

Still, even if the deal's announced tomorrow, this is cutting it really fine to get the event publicised. Especially for a show featuring a British fighter in Michael Bisping.

TBH, i don't think they'll need to advertise it that much, the event is that big, everyone who knows anything about this sport is sitting on the edge of their seats for this announcement!

UFC>>>>>>>>>any other sport!>>>>>>>>>>Boxing!

countdown to 100 up on ufc.com

this poss nsfw for any fools and horses

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKx6_K5MgxE

hahaha thats awesome

Its gonna go to the ground more than 75% of the time imo, unless Mir falls into a horrible position where he cant defend a Lesnar flurry its gonna be all ova baby

mir ain't even that great at the jits, he said rolling with maia made him feel like a brown belt and when he coached tuf that world chap jits guy ended up coaching him.

I guess it depends on whether lesnar really has just been lifting weights, taking steroids and deer hunting for the last 17 months or whether he has been shipping HW black belts over from brazil and learning how not to get caught so easily. Maybe he really is stupid enough not to have done that? I dunno

Are you serious?  He may not be an elite BJJ guy but he is easily 1 of the top 3 BJJ guys in Heavyweight MMA.  Except for the Ian Freeman fluke and his farce to Brandon Vera, when he got back from his crash and was in terrible shape, he has outclassed everyone else he has fought on the ground.

He will crush Lesnar in a ground game

I'm on lesnar, henderson, GSP, belcher, fitch and bonnar

Looks like ESPN America

http://www.ifight365.com/2009/07/ufc-100-will-air-live-in-the-uk/

Not sure about this. I haven't watched any UFC for a while because it got a bit boring but I never thought Mir looked like a true black belt BJJ. Quite a few of the UFC guys get their belts because of their names because it boosts the BJJ brand. Put then up against a genuine BJJ black belt and they'd be in serious trouble.

Yeah he's good but I pretty sure there's more than 2 guys in the UFC who would mash him if they got their gi's on.

Lesnar: "Mazzagatti was a fucking dickhead."

LOL, so true. This fight doesn't even happen if he doesn't get them back on their feet claiming Brock was hitting the back of the head. Barely gave a warning. Worst ref in UFC by a fair bit.

Watching the first fight again must be embarrassing for Mazzagatti, taking a point of Lesnar for so little. Tilts me.

lol, im on the complete opposite from you for the three main events!

Mir, Bisping, Alves!

Everyone has a bad day, just ask Howard Webb

Bring back the best in the business Biiiiiiiiig Johhhhn McCarthyyyyy!

Just happens to Mazzagatti more than most? He's terrible, constantly making mistakes.

Dan Miragliotta or w/e has a lot of bad days also.



Nice eye poke

(http://i41.tinypic.com/2079gt4.jpg)



Nice wrong hand raise

(http://i41.tinypic.com/2cql0yr.gif)


Nice get involved in the fighting urself

(http://i33.tinypic.com/xdig7o.gif)

He just fuckin smiles and laughs afterwards too....which makes me kinda like him a bit now.

Any news on where its being shown?

espn

UFC100 will be shown live on SETANTA IRELAND!

Yassssss! Thank fekk, was getting worried for a while.

I always knew Setanta were a good outfit really

Bring on Saturday

WTF is setanta Ireland?

When i signed up to Setanta (and i thought it was the same for everyone in Scotland too??), i got 12 channels or so for my £12.99 a month (Setanta 1, 2, Golf, NASN, Celtic TV, Ranger TV, and Setanta Ireland etc).

When Setanta stopped broadcasting three weeks ago, Setanta Ireland remained untouched and continued to Broadcast. Nothing special just Irish Football, Irish Rugby etc etc, but i clocked an advert last night showing that Setanta Ireland were going to show UFC100 Live, i flicked through the sky TV Planner and its there on their programming, ive set it to come on @ 3am. When i flicked through the ESPN Channel it doesn't say its showing UFC100 at all, it says its showing a Live MLB Game on that channel at 3am ('Florida v Arizona'). so no idea where the ESPN talk is coming from.

Did you not recieve all these channels with your setanta package? Setanta Ireland inc.?


(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b271/Davebhoy67/UFC100.jpg)

So basically u had to have setanta before it went bust to be able to watch UFC 100?

how else did you watch the UFC if you didn't have setanta before?

http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=21058

Channel 433 is 'Racing World' and ive checked the planner and all it says at 3am Sunday is 'Progammes start on Monday.....'

I hope they just haven't updated it yet, cos a 9 hour Marathon show from 9pm on that channel would be amazing!

Here is the announccement for the Setanta Ireland screening, it also mentions a 9 hour Marathon session too, but that ain't on the SKY Planner yet:
http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=21060 (http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=21060)


So basically, 3 places to watch it:

1/ Setanta Ireland - Channel 430
2/ Racing World - Channel 433 (please not this isn't on their Planner as yet)
3/ Online @ uk.ufc.com (http://uk.ufc.com)

Looks like if you have anything apart from Sky, you'll be stuck behind your monitor!

I've always watched it on Setanta, that wasn't the point. This is UFC 100, there has been major hype so new fans will have been attracted to the sport - so the new fans may not have Setanta, they would have to fork out for it just to watch this.

British UFC fans have two ways of experiencing the greatest night in mixed martial arts history live: on Sky Channel 433 and online at UK.UFC.com. Fans will be able to catch all the action from the biggest fight night of the year completely free of charge.

Is this Racing World (433) usually a free channel? So even if you didn't have Setanta before you will get this for free, right?

Not sure if its free or not, the channel is off till 11pm tonight, when ill switch it on and see if ive got it or not.

There are a lot of people really pissed off with the UFC over this, since they gave it to sky with no other cable provider able to show it.

can anyone remember if Racing World was part of the Setanta 12 channel package?

The Wikipedia entry on Setanta says Racing World was.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setanta_Sports

Setanta can't be bothered updating their EPG but we'll have to see at 9pm BST what's actually available. Free-to-air and I don't care.

I'm led to believe it's going to be free, even if you didn't have the Setanta package.

Its gonna stream live on uk.ufc.tv anyway

46" TV > 17" laptop

Just recieved an Email saying people in the UK have THREE ways to watch

Setanta Ireland Channel 430 - You only get this if you have Sky TV and still have the setanta package!
Racing World Channel 433 - You only get this if you have Sky TV, Still not sure if its free or not
uk.ufc.com - Free to all, but unsure how the stream will be with millions tuning in!

on a plus note, Setanta Ireland and Racing world have updated their TV Planner and yes it doesn start at 9pm!!!

TV Guide is as follows: (Setanta Ireland and Racing world are showing slighty different episodes at different times, but its all the same episodes)

Setanta Ireland:

9pm - UFC Top Fights EP1
10pm - UFC Top Fights EP1
11pm - UFC Top Fights EP1
12am - UFC Top Fights EP1
1am - UFC Top Fights EP1
2am - UFC 100 The Countdown
3am - UFC 100 - LIVE!

Racing world has the countdown on at 9pm and the Top Fights on after that till 3am

Not to worry guys, this confirms it: (From TheSun.co.uk)

UFC 100 will air LIVE and FREE on Sky channel 433, the mixed martial arts promotion have confirmed.
SunSport can exclusively reveal the biggest show in MMA history will also be available to watch on UFC.com.

For fans wanting to see the Las Vegas spectacular on TV, Sky channel 433 — formerly the Racing World network — will effectively become a UFC station for nine hours only.

And viewers will be able to catch all the action from the biggest fight night of the year completely free of charge.

As an exciting bonus for British fans, Sky channel 433's coverage will begin at 9pm on Saturday with all five episodes of the UFC's Top 100 Fights.

They will be followed by the official Countdown to UFC 100 programme, taking you up to 3am when the spotlight switches to Las Vegas.

Anyone without a Sky subscription need not worry as every punch, kick and submission will be shown on the UFC's official website.

For details on how to watch the event live online, simply visit UFC.com.

sick, just spent all day watching the countdown  lol

its only on for an hour, how did it take you all day!

I cancelled my setanta direct debit like a week ago. I hope I'll get it tonight!

Don't worry, i cancelled mine 2 weeks ago, and i still receive both channels!

WHERE IS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR YOUR UFC FANTASY INVITE??????

Greek, u having any bets?

Bisping looked a bit dehydrated to me, should be fine come fight time though.

Mir looks in prob best shape of his career - still gonna get owned!

I meant the 100 top fights countdown

Will send you a pm.

Small bet on Mir but I can't really see any value in anything. Bet on Mir is more cos I want him to win and to help me stay up til 4.30

u?

I saw Mir at 3.0 earlier on betfair as he seems to be the underdog again.  When will they learn, when he fought Lesnar last and in his last fight with Nog nobody gave him a chance.  Mir is the only decent bet on the card imo

eh Alves @ 5/2 FFS!

Alves isnt winning!

Wanna bet?

$50?

Mates sky box has gave up. Is this repeated tomorrow?????? On my phone so can't really check.

uk official ufc site is streaming it

sky channel 433

Never leave it to the judges, they appear to be on crack tonight.  Belcher got robbbed!

Na I think Akiyama took it, he took him apart rd 1, just a shame he got knocked down because it made the round kind of close.

I thought 1st rd was close, 2nd was clearly Belcher, thought Belcher had the 3rd too although Akiyama made is close with the ground control.

Wow, Bisping got KTFO!  Nasty

Ye I thought the 2 takedowns in the last round kinda sealed it for Akiyama.

Yeah Bisping got ktfo. GSP and Alves now  ;tk;

Bisping never looked comfortable in the ring there against Hendo.

Great KO tho, Hendo is a beast

you giving me 5/2?

infact how about 12/5?

evens  ;)

fuck off, bookies can have my money then!

I dont blame you for backing out  ;)

After Round 3 I shouldve offered you 20-1 Dave.  Total Domination by GSP, Alves looked kinda dangerous on his feet but any attacks were quickly followed by a takedown by GSP who won all 5 rounds imo

totally mate, alves is so dangerous standing.....but all due respect GSP totally read the game plan and owned the kid, it makes me fear for Silva now, if GSP steps up and Silva steps back down, ill take GSP every day of the week!!!!

ya hun bassa.....only saying that cos its the 12th ya punk!

i love ya tho mate xx bro's before bogitry.

altho, can someone please tell me why, the co-main event, and the main event is on before Fitch's fight!!!!???

WTF?

is Fitch or opponent injured during wam up, and cant fight??

I think its time restraints incase Lesnar/Mir went 5 rounds


Sick win for Lesnar, dominating, didnt see it coming.  F*ck lesnar!!!

Brock is a maniac lol, pretty un-classy to get into Mir's face while he's still half unconcious.

Fitch fight on now

I think the judges were on crack as well (well at least one of 'em was) in giving 30-27 scores to Akiyama and Fitch.

I thought Belcher won the 1st and 3rd rounds, and Akiyama won the 2nd round. I thought Thiago won the 1st round, Fitch just about won the 2nd and 3rd rounds. All moot.

St. Pierre did well to survive the last two and a half rounds with a torn abductor ligament which hampered his movement. He just smothered Alves most of the time and Thiago generally had no answer.

Mir didn't have the right gameplan and Lesnar was able to just pin Frank at will. Herb Dean should have stood them up but was happy to let Brock just smother and punch Frank. LOL at Goldberg/Rogan bigging up Mir's chances during the fight ("Brock's gotta watch out for the armbar!").

Who next for St. Pierre? Don't move up in weight and fight Anderson Silva!
Who next for Lesnar? UFC won't consider Fedor/Josh Barnett so it'll be one of Couture/Nogueira/Valasquez/Carwin.

By default, the UFC doesn't have any credible challengers for GSP. I think they're reluctant about Lesnar and crowning him 'King of UFC' as the after-fight shenanigans from Lesnar proved more than a little prickly. Good for PPVs isn't though?

This business about sponsors having to pay the UFC for being a shirt/short sponsor could be quite significant in the long-term.

If the UFC fighters were smart they'd hire the best lawyers they can and break away and put on their own promotions (they'd have to deal with TV companies and sponsors though which could be a problem). The problem with 'Affliction' (apart from the ugly shirts) is that they've got themselves into a huge tizzy because they've put up a lot of money in fight fees. Fedor vs. Josh Barnett should be an absolute cracker but it's cost them over $2 million in fees alone to fight under their banner as it were. A general pittance for big-time boxing but a fairly big deal in MMA circles.

We didn't get to watch any of the preliminary fights but one must assume that Stephan Bonnar is 'done'. Maybe I'm being unkind about Mark Coleman but Bonnar should be beating the likes of him. I'm very annoyed I bet on Bonnar to win.

Bisping was found wanting. He was quick but Dan was even quicker,and Michael generlly had nothing that hurt Hendo! Henderson getting the 'KO Of The Night' almost by default (I wish I bet on the 10/1 that Paddy Power was dangling on that to happen!).

Disagree that the number one UFC fight was Forest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar but hey, it's a fan vote.

His tirade afterward -- which included a low blow to the UFC’s primary sponsor, Bud Light, waving his middle fingers at the audience, taunting Mir and exposing plans for a post-fight sex romp with his wife -- drew the ire of UFC President Dana White.

The 32-year-old Lesnar claimed he was headed out to drink a Coors Light because Bud Light would not pay him any money. One of the UFC’s highest-paid fighters, he made $450,000 in disclosed pay for his TKO victory against hall of famer Randy Couture at UFC 91 in November.

“I was blown away,” White said. “I don’t think in the history of the UFC we’ve had anybody do that. It’s not who we are, and, to be honest, it’s not who he is. You hang with these guys personally, and you get to know them. If he was a dick, I’d tell you right now this guy is a psycho and I don’t know what I’m going to do with him. He’s not. He’s a smart guy. The sponsorship thing was the craziest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”

Lesnar’s antics drudged up memories of his days as a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar, when showboating and pushing the envelope of taste were encouraged and profitable. White claimed he confronted the apologetic champion in his dressing room after he left the Octagon.

“Brock went so far over the top, I can’t even put it into words,” White said. “WWE -- that’s what it is. We had a talk. We talked like men, and he said he was sorry. He said, ‘I’m embarrassed by what I said.’ I take his word for it this time.”

Stereo, you could possibly be the only person in the world that doesnt think that was at least 50-45 for GSP.  He dominated every round.

Bisping never even looked close to winning there. Think it shows how overrated he is, especially by himself. He's not been great in previous fights and got found out tonight. Dirty second hit by hendo though when Bisping clearly out cold. Worse than Lesnar antics in my view.
Mir was classy in defeat, just couldn't get over the weight difference. Fuck knows how one judge thought Akiyama took all 3 rounds

I'm not saying it wasn't 50-45 to GSP as I didn't type anything of the sort! I should have expanded on the 'did well to survive' point and said Alves didn't and couldn't take advantage of an injured GSP as GSP smothered Alves, taking Thiago to the ground and not allowing Alves to hit back, and that Alves generally did very little in five rounds.

I thought it was hilarious at the end of the third round when Greg Jackson stated he couldn't care that Georges had pulled his groin and ordered him to hit Thiago with it!

Now, GSP will take some time off to recover from his injury and 'gain some weight'.

Dana White says that there's no immediate opponent for GSP, and that they'll try and get Fedor to the UFC, get him a preliminary fight (not stated but one thinks that WILL happen if it does happen) and then get Fedor to be Brock's next opponent. Good luck with all the self-imposed restrictions and all that as I'm sure UFC will have to 'break the bank' to get Fedor.

Where's the source? Halfway through the Dana White post-fight press conference video.

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=VideoPlayer.home&gid=21199

Brock Lesnar apologizes for his behaviour, to Bud Light and other folks in the video or two below that one.

Belcher robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Stereo, when you said Thiago I thought you meant Alves

i don't think fedor is a big favourite over lesnar anymore, especially if lesnar gets another fight or 2 first  :o

Lesnar vs. Emelianenko would be absolutely fascinating but I think it'd be a huge anticlimax because it will probably be very quick one way or another.

Fedor likes to finish his fights quick. The last three fights against Hong-Man Choi, Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski shows this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_Emelianenko

Andrei showed there is a route to beating Fedor with solid straight punches but then Arlovski infamously tried a flying knee (whaddya know so did Frank Mir against Brock Lesnar!) and got knocked the hell down to the ground.

Mir showed one or two very brief moments at the start of the second round where Brock can be vulnerable (HONEST!) where he managed to punch Brock in the face a couple of times and get Lesnar to the fence but then Lesnar just shoved Mir to the ground.

Lesnar's chin still has to be tested but I don't think he can take punches to the head.

If Fedor gets past Josh Barnett (should be an AWESOME fight) then I think the collective murmurings particularly over the internet will WANT Lesnar vs. Emelianenko.

Fedor's smart. He'll hold out for more money. Fedor doesn't need the UFC. The UFC wants Fedor to legitimise Lesnar. This could take a while.

I wouldn't want to be a bookie trying to price up Lesnar vs. Emelianenko. It might even be a 4/5 vs. 10/11 (or even worse) pick'em.

Fedor isn't just holding out for money though, he can already get that from Affliction or in Japan. Fedor doesn't like the UFC contracts which pretty much say they own all image rights etc. for the next ten years when you sign them, and if you hold the title when your contract expires you have to sign a new contract etc. etc.

There are a few more heavyweights that could still potentially beat Brock out there, Brett Rodgers is a 10-0 heavyweight with 9 (T)KO who just beat Arlovski, Gilbert Yvel is an insanely dangerous striker with 36 wins 31 via (T)KO.

Alistair Overeem is a big heavyweight 6'5" very built as of late who KO'd Badr Hari in K1.

Sure Brock is the HW champ and I'm impressed with him as a fighter but he's still only beat an old Randy Couture, Frank Mir who after losing to Brandon Vera has only beat Antoni Hardonk and Brock in his 2nd ever MMA fight and an old and aged Nog.

Basically the UFC HW division doesn't have a deep talent pool.

Oh and Shane Carwin could be a threat, a big strong wrestler with very heavy hands.

Just watched the Lesnar post fight interview too n he seemed pretty sincere in his apology.

Check it here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxingandmma/5810333/UFC-100-Brock-Lesnar-apologises-on-night-when-triumvirate-of-favourites-prosper.html

Wouldn't disagree with the sincerity at all. The consensus seems to be forming that the jackass image is definitely 'all for show' but still, there really wasn't a need to say all the things he did pre-fight and post-fight.

Yeah, the image rights will be a stickler as well the supposed six-fight deal that they're trying to get Fedor to commit to.

http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/110076

The comment from Joe Rogan on UFC 100 show about Jon Fitch was half-telling and hilarious ("No 'Ultimate Fitch'!?").

Mirko Filipović apparently signed for three fights in the UFC and only stayed for one which irked Dana White no end. Cro Cop's happier beating up folks in Japan.

Brett Rogers' reputation increased somewhat with a solid KO over Andrei Arlovski but Brett seems strangely off-the-radar. If the UFC get him who will they pit him against first?

There's some minor feud between Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar where Brock says he hits harder than Shane (Brock claims they had a get-together where they got the power of their punches measured before Shane's fight against Gabriel Gonzaga whilst Shane claims that there was nothing of the sort). There's also the minor thing with the match-up at UFC 104 with Cain Valasquez who was far from impressive with his win over Chieck Kongo.

Alistair Overeem's a huge enigma what with his injury problems and his ahem, nighttime shenanigans but there's no doubting the hype around his reputation. He's good but how good!?

Gilbert Yvel's an interesting proposition but Overeem's ahead of him.

I don't really wanna see Lesnar vs. Couture II. I'm not that enamoured by Lesnar. vs. Noguiera either. Thank the Lord I'm not a Fertitta! Who do you want Lesnar to fight next!? LOL!!

OT: OOOH!! Fight Of The Night' was Alan Belcher vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama? They both get $100,000 as does Dan Henderson for 'KO Of The Night' and Tom Lawlor for 'Submission Of The Night'. Nice work if you can get it.

People have been saying that about Nog for years, he was still the interim champ.

Brock V Cro Cop imo

Being the interim champ isn't much when it's a weak division which at the time had less than half the ranked top 10 heavyweights.

I'm not saying Brock isn't good, he just hasn't faced the best heavyweights out there yet.

Anyone do this? I had a decent bet on it

What would the three main fights fighters of got paid last night any idea?

Win or lose in his UFC 100 main event bout against interim title-holder Frank Mir, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is guaranteed to be one of the top earners at the pay-per-view event, receiving $400,000 to show for the headlining heavyweight unification rematch.

The main event salaries were disclosed on Saturday by Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole via Twitter.

Mir would make $90,000 ($45,000 to show, $45,000 to win) should he defeat Lesnar for the second-straight time.

UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre could tie Lesnar atop the event’s official payroll with a win over challenger Thiago Alves, as he’s slated to make $200,000 to show and an additional $200,000 to win the co-headliner.

The official salaries for Lesnar-Mir, GSP-Alves, and Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping are:

Brock Lesnar ($400,000 to show) vs. Frank Mir ($45,000 to show, $45,000 to win)

Georges St-Pierre ($200,000 to show, $200,000 to win) vs. Thiago Alves ($60,000 to show, $60,000 to win)

In related news, UFC President Dana White has announced that the “Fight Night” bonuses for UFC 100 will be a record $100,000 apiece.

Michael Bisping ($150,000 to show, $100,000 to win) vs. Dan Henderson ($100,000 to show, $150,000 to win).
