Georges "Rush" St.Pierre completely dominated Fitch tonight! What a great fight.

and Brock Lesnar is a total beast. I thought Heath had a shot but man, Lesnar is coming into his own in the octagon.

Awesome PPV tonight!

Quick to post haha.

Lesnar was dominant. GSP was solid, and I'm personally surprised with the Huerta/Florian fight.

It was really good. I missed the first match cause Rogers are fuck ups. Ordered it in HD for $10 extra and the video/audio was cutting out. Luckily we kept the old box, so I went to another TV and re-ordered. We'll get them to at least refund the first one and hopefully end up getting it all for free.

GSP was unreal, Jon Fitch looked like he was put through a washing machine machine and wore barbed wire around his face in the process.

 

The respect at the end of the fight was awesome and guess what? GSP vs BJ Penn coming soon!

GSP was unreal! I mean Fitch looked like a freshy out there.....Brock is for real, but he still needs to work on the JJ......it was a good PPV over all. BJ V. GSP WoW...... Then when dose Anderson Silva fit into this. Don't forget GSP v. Silva would be Tuff.

Great job GSP........................................ Fitch got a chin though he took a nice few shots that would have stopped  a lot of fighters.

After this event, Im sure more than ever they need to have a change of rules. Either add another round or 2 to every fight or do the pride type rules where you get penalized for not doing anything. Lesnar did show great wrestling... but he couldnt do anything from the top and although he definetly deserved the win, he didn't really show anything else. He had full mount and I don't ever remember him going for a submission or flurrying for a knockout... he was literally just laying on top. Yea, he did a great job passing guard and controlling Herring, but other than the 1st punch I don't remember him hurting Herring to the point where he was close to finishing the fight. It was an exciting fight just because of the names... but the fight itself was really lackluster... felt like a an ultra aggressive wrestling match. If the fight was in any other venue, the boo's wouldve been going from the first round.

And the Huerta/Florian fight... neither fighter was really hurt or gassed by the end of the 3rd round... they definetly couldve kept going... and I don't see why they cant make the main card fights all 5 rounds... theyre always ahead of schedule and have to put in a preliminary fight to put on more time so why cant they just add more rounds to bigger fights.

GSP looked great... wouldnt mind seeing him fight BJ Penn next... or move up and fight Anderson Silva

I think GSP knew he coulda TKOd Fitch in the first round, but he didn't want to hurt, or embarrass Jon Fitch. Mad Respect to Jon Fitch for taking such a beating and not being bitter, and the sportsmanships shown by both after the fight gives me hope that the concept of "Gladiator's Honour" still exists. A show of pure class and taste on the part of both fighters.

Respect to Fitch for toughing it out even when GSP Demolished him from the get go, but more respect for GSP for not pushing the envelope and doing any serious damage to Fitch, keeping it respectful and not just bashing Fitch's head in in the first round, as it was pretty clear at one point he could have. He held up on him a bit out of mercy.

PS lolerskates at GSP's hardcore Franglais Rap intro music. Gotta love it.

Wow, I really enjoyed this event. All the matches were pretty solid and of course, the classiest man in the business- GSP was dominant and yet again was the epitome of class. The guy is my idol, I only wish I could conduct myself like him  (personality-wise) and obviously, be able to fight like him would be a bonus hahaha

I do think Brock was dominant with his smothering wrestling (I've never seen such a dominant base) but he completely lacked the ability to submit and he needs A LOT of work on that.
