Oh cool. Did he compete in Pride at all? I'm a huge judo fan, so I always will root for judokas in most fights. He went for a few, but the clinch game wasn't really there for him.
You make a good point about the heavyweight class. Brock is talented and everything, I was just floored by the amount of disrespect he showed. The ONLY reason he got a shot so fast was because Randy wanted to fight him. I do want to see Fedor come over, but I don't know if that will ever happen. For whatever reason, Fedor seems hesitant about coming to the UFC.
I was happy for GSP too. Some people were saying what a good matchup Alves was for him. It wasn't even close haha. What an athlete he is. This articles about GSP is right on:
