Brock Lesnar almost from the moment he walked into his first match in MMA people have been just unmerciful to him. Saying he's not a real fighter that this is all a joke that he's another hype job like Kimbo Slice. So he has his first match against Min Soo Kim and wins that one and gets into the UFC. Yes I'll admit in large part do to the fame that he got from the WWE. First fight in he loses to Frank Mir by a leg lock. Everybody screams and shouts that this proves that Lesnar is a joke and that he has no business in real MMA. Didn't anyone notice that for most of the fight that Brock was pounding Mir's face in. At the post-fight interview which fighter looked better.

So then he goes in and defeats Heath Hearing and does so convincingly. However do to the fact that he couldn't knock him out and won by decision everybody said the judges were biased. Lesnar only won because Dana White paid the judges to score the bout for Lesnar. Was anyone watching the same fight I was. Hearring got the bejesus knocked out of him and looked pretty well destroyed at the post-fight interview.

Well it's that time again, time for the UFC to find another opponenet that's able to survive against Anderson Silva. This time they picked Thales Leites and not a bad choice. I know many people are saying that Leites is just a bone for Silva's mandatory title defence but would anyone like pointing out who's The Spider's equal in the 185 division. Silva's got that division in a stranglehold, he's the best p4p fighter in the world and he's proves it time and time again. Leites on the other hand maybe enough of an underdog to give Silva a run for his money and all of us fight fans an upset. Let's look at the fighters.

Anderson Silva - Almost everything in the world has been said about this guy. He doesn't have any weak points to speak of. He's never had a fight go to a decision in the UFC. Anderson Silva just smash through whatever opponent the UFC put in front of him. Best fighter in the world today enough said.

Okay I know that this isn't about real life MMA but it's something that I think that most people who enjoy MMA, MMORPG or just games in general will enjoy. MMArmy is a browser based text game that's free to play with a basic account with a one-time fee of $20 for a premium account. You (the player) take on the role of being in charge of a camp of fighters. You'll train them, get contracts for them and finally send them out to fight in one of the 20+ promotions. The fighter will earn cash for you to buy better equipment, buy the fighters better outfits, and the ability to recruit more fighters.

The addictive text based game is a wonderful diversion while you wait for the next UFC,Strike or Affliction MMA event. I've been playing it for about six moths now and the thing I like the most about is the rolling liner game time. Fighters get older and eventually retire so you don't have the same super-fighters on top all the time. There are two game resets a day 6am and 6pm (real time) which equals two months of game time. Your fighters can only fight once a month.

I don't know about the rest of you fight fans out there but the fighter in my mind that needs to just be beaten to a bloody pulp - Josh Koscheck. I don't know if I'm alone in my hatred of him but GOD! i just want to see the arrogant SOB get KO'd. I first saw Josh like most of us on the first season of the Ultamite Fighter. Along with having some of the most boring matches in history. Lay and Pray for a decision victory yay! that's exciting. He was the biggest SOB in the house except maybe for Bobby Southworth I think his name was. I almost jumped up and down when Diego Sanchez beat him and since that time every time I see him fight that's all I've ever wanted to see.

Since the Ultimate Fighter he's improved several areas must notably stand-up but he's still almost unbearable to watch. Rarely does he get a KO only twice,Decsions are still his main way of getting victory. Every time that you watch or read his interviews his aroggance is still second to none. With a 14-4 record I can see why the UFC keeps him around. I don't know maybe I'm not alone in my hatred of him and people watch him just to see if he'll get his head kicked off. When he got KO'd in his last fight I don't think I was ever happier to see a fighter lose in my life.

I hope most of you watched WEC on Sunday because if you missed it then you missed a treat espescially the title fight between Takeya Mizugaki vs. Miguel Torres. A great five round fight that i would've liked to have seen a finish because the decision was complete bs. I'm not taking anything away from the fighters both of them gave one of the best fights of the year in my opinion. On the other hand the fight proved that the judges will always heavily favor the champ. Because to make it a unanimous decision was pure favoritism. I know that the generale rule of fighting is to never leave it in the hands of the judges because you'll probably get screwed. I know that in the ten point must system one of the fighters has to win the round but I watched the fight and will say the Mizugaki should've gotten at least one of the judges or won the fight.

Ed Herman, does everyone remember when we first seen him on the Third season of the Ultimate Fighter. Kept saying the whole season that he was the best fighter in the house and that how the whole MW division better look out because Short Fuse is coming. Remember how we waited all season to finally see him fight in the last prelim fight. I often replay the memory of where all the other fighters were partying with Ken Shamrock and Ed Herman really wants to drink the night before his FIGHT! Fortunately Ken stopped him. Well backing up what he said Ed did mow down his first two opponents and made it to the finals. In the Finals he met Kendall Grove in the Octagon. Both of them gave the fans on hell of a fight but in the end Herman lost a decision to Grove. Not to worry Dana White gave Herman a contract of his very own. That seems to happen alot even with fighters that don't  make it anywhere near the finals.

Ken Shamrock a name that's synonymous with MMA. A fighter at UFC 1 back when it was style vs. style. He lost in the semi-finals to the legend Royce Gracie. A few years later he'd fight Royce again to a draw at UFC 5 at that time an unheard of end for a Gracie fight. Shamrock leaves the UFC in 1996 to go fight in Pride. At the end of 2002 which I'll call his peak or at least before he started desecrating the sport that made him a household name his record was 20-7-2. He came back at UFC 40 to start his feud with Tito Ortiz. They had three fights Shamrock one none of them. In fact Kimo is the only guy he beat from 2/24/02 till 2/13/09.

During the seven years Ken repeatedly continued to make a joke out of himself and the sport. Not just with his stupid hot head antics which is really unbecoming any martial artist but with the fights he took. Like with Robert Berry a guy that's not even in the top 1000 fighters. Anyone ever heard of Robert "Buzz" Berry I haven't all his fights are in Cage Rage. Guess what he beat him to with a first round KO. So UFC take a look at Robert Berry I mean he beat a man you put in your HALL OF FAME!!! that should ensure him at least 2 or 3 fights in the octagon. I'm not even going to write about that crock of bull**** that EliteXC tired to pull with him and Kimbo. For the sport's sake thank whatever God you believe in the fight was called off.

David "Tank" Abbott the grey breaded warrior as some call him. We all remeber him from the early days of MMA and in the early days of the UFC. I'm going back to about 1996 to about 98. Tank had a name for himself. Could knock out anyone with those heavy hands. Of course durning this time period it wasn't true MMA it was more style vs style. I think just his whole look. I mean the guy looks like a badass got his fame going then in 1998 Tank Abbott signs with the WCW and becomes a professinal wrestler. Really helping out the sport that helped him get where he is today. So he stays in the WCW till it's fall all the while MMA evolved into what it currently is.

So in 2003 he comes back to the UFC and has done nothing to improve is style or martial arts or sub. He's going with the same bar-room brawling that worked so well in the past. Well the rest of the roster in the UFC continued to evolve and get better. Tank was murdered in the first round every fight. So then he quits and fights off and on for the next couple of years picking up only one win in 2005. Has one fight in Pride and Strike and loses both of them horribly. In 2007 he takes on Gary Turner in Cage Rage and gets soundly beat in the first again. Then came the event that might as well been put on by the WWE.

Now the first thing that I want to say is that I don't blame Anderson Silva for the debacle at UFC 97. It really wasn't his fault and I have to give credit to Chuck for coming to his defense. However on a whole UFC 97's card for the most part stunk.

For me personally the night was tainted by the fact that it's a real possibility that it was Chuck Liddell's last fight. As much as I hate to see the Iceman go I hope he doesnt stick around so long that he wrecks his legacy. That paled in comparison to the Main Event. Thales Leites vs Anderson Silva when this fight happened I wasn't expecting anything just a good fight. Those hopes died when in the first ninety seconds NO ONE THREW A SINGLE PUNCH. That was both of there's fault. Then it went on to get worse with each on going round of Leites constantly going to the ground. Every time that Silva would try and get close Leites would go to his back. It was honestly painful to watch. It was boring and just a bad fight.
