The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s two big drawcards of last weekend’s UFC 100, Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pierre, didn’t disappoint in their respective bouts however they will now be on short leashes for different reasons.
Lesnar’s abysmal treatment of the crowd, a defeated Frank Mir and major sponsors left UFC owner Dana White with a bad taste in his mouth which required a disciplining of the man mountain after the match.
St-Pierre on the other hand sustained a third round groin strain against Brazilian Thiago Alves and will now undergo heavy physiotherapy ahead of his next bout.
But MMA Betting fans who backed St. Pierre were not disappointed.
Welterweight UFC champion St-Pierre (21-2, 8 KOs) was too classy for Alves (16-4, 10 KOs), defeating him in a one-sided bout that went all the way.
Alves, who was promoting his ability to avoid the takedown was dropped to the mat in each round and while standing up, St-Pierre showed little mercy against his cocky opponent.
When St-Pierre pinned his younger opponent to the mat, he took advantage of that as well pulverising him with short sharp draining punches.
Heavyweight Lesnar (4-1, 3 KOs) on the other hand defeated former UFC champion Frank Mir (12-4, 2 KOs) by a second round TKO.
Lesnar, who was trying to avoid his second defeat at the hands of Mir after a first round submission in UFC 81, toyed with Mir in the first round then smacked him about the head in the second. Thirteen short straight punches to the side and back of Mir’s head stopped the fight at 1:48.
With UFC101 fight card on August 8 still yet to be decided, details are scant however it is understood a proposed fight between Brandon Vera and Matt Hamill has been postponed until UFC102.
The lightweight championship bout between BJ Penn and Kenny Florian is expected to go ahead however.
