I don't agree that he should have been fighting for a title either, but I'm thinking 1st it was about ticket sales and Couture wouldn't come back to fight just anybody. UFC paid Lesnar almost $500,000 for the fight, that includes the win bonus. He did say he wanted another shot at Mir, we'll see. He is certainly a big draw with a tremendous future and probably the most powerfully fighter out there. Its yet to be seen if he has the skills to go against the more experience fighters his size, much less going five rounds. One things for sure, Dana knows he has a star with Lesner.

True, Lesner is a beast, but how could he have been the #1 contender with only three career fights and one of those was a loss. I think Frank Mir defeated him within the last year. No doubt about his power, dominance and future; I just don't know about his quick rise to the top.

I was told they planned to have purple turf before being forced to make budget cuts. If so, it was a good move.

Hope there are many more games to come
