If Lesnar wins this fight, he will unify the "XYIENCE Sports Nutrition" and "Muscle Milk EXTREME WHEY" belts.

Emelianenko has disposed of much bigger men before
So has Brock.

I watched it at a sports bar last night only because my buddy (his turn to order the fight) didn't pay his damn cable bill.

Dana "You Fight for Me!" White not letting the fighters under UFC contract fight any where else (see Silva v. Mayweather jr) is the problem. Not Fedor. Right now Fedor takes Lesnar. Give Lesnar a few more fights and I'm not so sure.

So after watching this, I've realized that we officially have 2 weightclasses completely cleared out (Welter and Middle) with the next ppv's outcome result determining whether there will be a third (Light if BJ wins) and Brock's dominance tonight hinting that the heavyweight div may be cleared out as well (barring a Fedor signing).

Good evening, DUAN! I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on the passing (and apparent murder) of arguably the greatest boxer to ever come out of Canada, Arturo Gatti.

He was found dead today in his hotel room in Brazil, while on his second honeymoon.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

So how can my local bar offer this for free to anyone that shows up? I thought PPV "laws" said bars got charged per viewer. Is that only for boxing, and UFC has different rules? Maybe the new owners that bought it a month ago are eating the cost to get people to realize it's now a dump, and not the glorified dump it once was?

@DumpsterDining: I'm by no means a legal expert and I think laws differ by municipality, but I was under the same impression that you were, in that a restaurant or bar is charged a greater PPV fee due to the larger number of patrons.

Incidentally, in Toronto, it's technically illegal for a bar to charge cover for a PPV event, although it happens all the time, so what a lot of places are doing now is collecting a charitable donation in lieu of cover. I don't know how legitimate these collections are, though.

Totally serious question: Didn't Brock Lesnar used to be in the WWE?
