You do NOT stop striking or cranking down a submission until told to stop by the referee. Hendo immediately got off of Bisping when instructed to so no foul there.

Lesnar is an idiot but it's hard to think of anyone beating him. And that hurts me to say. GSP always makes guys look bad. It's even worse when the opponent's strength is listed as "good takedown defense" and he ends up on his back over half the fight. Give him about 9-10 months to beef up a bit and then let him try out 185 against someone like Leben before talking about Silva. Great night of fights and even better when preceded by the Top 100 Fights show. |

i wish bobby lashley had the skills to take him down. but i think he still needs a good year of substantial fights to build a soild foundation.
between shane carwin and cain valesquez which one do you guys think has the better chance. to me carwin has some of the hardest G and P out there but cain seemed to pretty much manhandle congo on the ground. only problem was congo was beating his *** on stand up, i think brock would KO him. |

I also think Cain's stand up is too weak. And taking an opponent down and controlling him does count for a lot but Cain didn't even come close to finishing Kongo on the ground. And that's bad considering Kongo has no ground game. Shane Carwin seems to have the skill and size to beat Brock so I think that would be a good matchup.

No technical foul, sure, but we all knew the guy was out when he hit floor. Henderson knew it, and even admitted as much in his post-fight interview. The ref obviously knew it because he was lunging in to stop him before the second hit landed, he just didn't get there in time. It was totally unnecessary and unnecessarily dangerous. If by freak accident the guy had died from the knockout hit, that would've been a simple tragedy that's expected to happen in a sport like this on rare occasions. If he had died from the second, I would hope Henderson would get at least a civil suit for it. It was ridiculous.

All of you talking all this **** about Henderson "taking it too far" "being unprofessional" "knowing when to stop" "could have killed Bisping" blah blah blah!! Get over it.
Do any of you actually fight/train in any MMA? From the way that some of you were commenting, I say no. I DO... and I know that I have never stopped nor had someone else stopped until a ref stopped it. I have seen so many fights continue because of the lack of aggressiveness on an opponents side. So here's what I say, fight until the fight gets stopped and don't second guess yourself when you have the opportunity to capitalize. |

Last but not least, I'm aware of what Hendo said in the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan but it's quite obvious Hendo wasn't even aware of his actions til he saw the big screen himself and said what he said to add fuel to the fire of his Bisping feud. |

Even MMA is still a sport. There are still rules, and there should still be some standards of decency towards your peers in the sport. Nailing an unconscious guy that hard is never ok. |

But the superfight of GSP and Silva people will start asking for sooner or later. I don't care how big and lean GSP comes in as, Silva reach will be the diffrence in that one. |

Anyways, other than that: Serra - Avenge check Thiago Alves - Check Jon Fitch - Check Hughes - Check Koscheck - Check BJ Penn - Check check Who else does he have to prove himself? Shields? He's in EXC. Kampmann? Not gonna happen anytime soon considering he's still on the rise. Paulo Thiago? Just got wrecked by Fitch. Imo, GSP have accomplished more in his division than Spider yet Silva has already moved up. Last edited by molamann; 07-13-2009 at 08:57 PM. |

Yeah brock looks crazy out there lol. He is too big and too fast. By the way I can't wait for the GSP vs Silva. I'm actually going to go for GSP on that one, just because he's more battle tested in the last couple of years than Silva and wow dude pulled his groin and still dominated.
