If you were willing to fork over the money on Saturday night for the UFC 100 pay per view event than you witnessed Brock Lesnars complete destruction of Frank Mir.  This was their second match against one another.  Mir handed Lesnar his only loss when he got him to submit with a leg bar.  There was a lot of talk from both fighters prior to the championship bout.  Mir claimed that he did not respect Lesnar and that his punches resembled a little sister pulling your hair.  Saturday night he ate those words.  Lesnar became the new UFC badboy when he held Mir’s head in his large left hamhocks and continually landed huge right hands onto Mir’s head and face.  Mir kept giving his corner the thumbs up until he was knocked senseless.  Will the real Frank Mir please stand up.

The fight was stopped and Brock Lesnar still stood in Frank Mir’s face.  Brock used both hands to show the crowd in Frank Mir’s town of Las Vegas that he was number one.  Unfortunately he was not using the forefingers.  Regardless of whether or not Lesnar is only 4-1 or 40-1 he destroyed Frank Mir.  He avenged his loss and he did what he said he would do.  Rather he is popular or not makes no difference.  He will laugh all the way too the bank and will take his championship belt with him.  Sure the fans love their heros.  They love that good guy, the knight in shining armor or the cowboy in the white hat but every world needs it’s badboy as well.  There has to be someone for the fans to hate.  Someone they love to see get beat.  Brock Lesnar is that guy.

UFC fans will pay top dollar to see Brock Lesnar fall.  This is a win-win situation for everyone involved.  The question is who will make Lesnar fall.  Who can defeat him at this point?  There are those who believe that Fedor Emelianenko the mad Russian has the best opportunity.  He is 30-1 and has beaten two of the UFCs greatest champions fairly easily in Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski.  The problem is Fedor is signed with a rival promotions outfit.  The UFC fans have been waiting eagerly for his arrival but it is still yet to happen.  After the fight saturday night UFC President Dana White said it will happen and that the big fight between Lesnar and Fedor will become a reality eventually.

It is hard to say if Lesnar will remain the champion that long or not.  Chances are he will if he continues to work on his ground game and tightens up his game.  Like Lesnar or not he is the champion and will be around for a while.  He adds excitement to an laready extremely exciting sport.  He brings that badboy image with fire and smoke into the cage with vigor and passion.  He will fight in more pay per view events and everyone will reap the benefits.  The odds are in his favor.  Until we meet again good betting and remember to always be a good sport.
