UFC 100


UFC 100 has one of the best lineups I've ever seen.



Here are my picks:


Lesnar beats Mir via TKO- Mir looks like he's in amazing shape if the weigh-in is any indication. His knockout of Noguiera makes him (Mir) tough to pick against. But, Lesnar beat the hell out of Mir last time, before Mir secured that amazing submission. Lesnar's had plenty of time to get his submission defense in order.


GSP beats Alves in a unanimous decision. You simply can't pick against GSP until he loses. And some experts think Alves has what it takes to dethrone the best pound-for-pound fighter. We'll see.


And, purely as a fan, I'm going to pick Dan Henderson to beat Michael Bisping.
Regardless, I'm really amped for UFC 100.

This comment is not an endorsement of the FCC or whatever it's called (any "fighting" association that outlaws "the mandible claw" and "the pearl river plunge" is not serious). I just wanted to point out what Minnesota's Brock Lesnar said after winning last night and being asked what he'd do next. It's an endorsement of capitalism and a beer that Karl Rove discovered has a close association with Republicans:

“I’m drinking a cooler full of Coors Light, Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me anything.”

(Bud Light sponsored the fight.)

Lesnar apologized later, coming to a press conference with a Bud Light, which is very disappointing. We can only hope that this was because Bud Light made a quick decision to pay him a lot of money if he apologized. And in that case, this was an example of capitalism on steroids.
