Has got to be the worst 'coaching' I've heard from inside the octagon - and it was a title fight too!!!

Just watched Mir vs Cro Cop (UFC 119).

Possibly one of the worst fights I had seen until the point where the fight finished. The crowd were booing most of the time it was that bad!

Yep, very dull indeed. Neither of them looked like they could be bothered.

Would not be one bit surprised if Penn changes coaching staff after that effort.

Agreed guys, very dull. There seems to be more of this type of defensive tactic going on the more the UFC progresses. And if I was in Mir/Cro Cop or anyone else's shoes, I'd be doing the same thing.

It's unfortunate that the UFC is going that way, but I'm sure it will turn around soon. I actually enjoyed the Mitrione Beltran fight in the prelims the best!

120 was a bit average. Bring on 121 this weekend!

Looking forward to 121 I am hoping to see Cain Velasquez knock Lesnar out.
On 120 How many times must a guy we warned on holding shorts. The Ref should have stopped the Kongo vs. Browne fight and award it to Browne. But the highlight to me was seeing Dan Hardy get knocked out. That was one of the best punches I have seen in UFC and Hardy has a great chin but that punch rattled him.

I'm hoping Lesnar wins. Not sure what Congo was thinking.

Just finished watching 121 And not saying a thing.

I just watched 120 and 121 back to back and was surprised by the quick turnaround between events. Then I realised 120 was to "appease the UK contingent" it seems, cos it was garbage. The only good bout was the Condit/Hardy bout.

121 was ok. Tito Ortiz doesn't bring an element of fear to his opponents he used to 3-6 years ago. The Lesnar/Velasquez fight was just simply amazing!

Velasquez, simply awesome.

Huge gaping cut to Lesnar's cheek was a beauty!

Brock has been medically suspended for 180 days, unless he can get cleared earlier.

He is a goddamn machine. Would love to see him take on pound for pound king Anderson Silva.

Been some very interesting results of late in the UFC. Very much looking forward to Jan 1st to see the lightweight title fight.

Yep, GSP was indeed a machine. Very entertaining show. Now just have to get tickets for 127 in Sydney!

Shame we don't get to see Sotiropoulous in a title bout. He certainly deserves it (hasn't lost a fight inside the octagon), but probably finds himself being less marketable than other fighters. You'd think that if he wins the Sydney fight then he would surely be next in line to fight the winner of Edgar vs Maynard.

The lightweight division runs deep too, especially since the UFC absorbed the WEC. His timing and rise through the ranks is perfectly timed.

Imagine a card exclusively of lightweight bouts (not my idea) - my mouth waters at the prospect!

I would love to get to Sydney but not sure if I could make it happen :(

I can make it, just have to get a ticket in the next couple of days, which I believe won't be easy.
