Unlike a lot of people, I was more excited for this fight than I was for GSP/Alves, because I knew what the outcome of that fight would be.
I picked Mir, maybe partly because I really wanted him to win. But I can't say that I was surprised with the outcome.
I was surprised that Herb Dean didn't stop the fight when Lesnar hit was hitting Mir in the back of the head. From everything I've heard Dean supports the idea that anything behind the ears is considered "back of the head."
I'm real interested in seeing mir fight some other top contenders: Couture, Velasquez, Carwin, Kongo. I guess we'll see Lesnar face those same contenders.
I wonder if it will hurt Lesnar that he bashed UFC's sponsor, BudLite, in his post fight interview.
