			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, who <a href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-ufc12-2009jul12,0,1240368.story" target="_blank">destroyed UFC interim heavyweight champion Frank Mir in just two rounds</a> to retain his title and become the undisputed champ at UFC 100.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an ESPN clip showing highlights of the Lesnar-Mir fight.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="440" height="361" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://espn.go.com/videohub/player.swf?mediaId=4321805" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="440" height="361" src="http://espn.go.com/videohub/player.swf?mediaId=4321805" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></p>
<p>I know Brock&#8217;s post-fight antics will give people even more reason to hate him, but frankly, Mir was talking a lot of shit before the fight. In fact, lots of MMA fans slam Lesnar just because of his pro wrestling background as a former World Wrestling Entertainment champion. Never mind his outstanding amateur wrestling background as the NCAA Division I champion, his uncanny speed for a man that big, his punching power, and, most important, his burning need to win. Critics just love bringing up his WWE past in order to bring him down.</p>
<p>Of course, Brock seems to enjoy playing the role of villain, and it&#8217;s that ability to play a great heel (a pro wrestling term for someone who plays a villainous character) that he seems to have brought over from WWE. Some MMA fans may hate it, but that ability to trash talk and &#8220;cut a promo&#8221; is part of what makes him a colorful fighter and a pay-per-view draw. Besides, it&#8217;s not like other MMA fighters haven&#8217;t been trash talkers &#8212; the two Huntington Beach Bad Boys, Tank Abbott and Tito Ortiz, immediately come to mind. Heck, Mir was doing a lot of trash talking, before Brock shut him up inside the octagon.</p>
<p>Even UFC president Dana White claimed to be <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=AsnwyUIrpkCqiPF_f7UTY8M9Eo14?slug=dw-lesnar071209&#038;prov=yhoo&#038;type=lgns">shocked by Brock&#8217;s post-fight antics</a>. White is also saying that he hopes to bring in to the UFC Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko to square off against Lesnar in what would certainly be the biggest MMA fight in history. Fedor, the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight champion of rival MMA organization Affliction and the last Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight champ (he remained an undefeated champ, but Japan-based Pride FC was bought out by the UFC), is considered the best fighter of all time by longtime MMA aficionados. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre easily retained his title with a unanimous decision over Thiago Alves. Will we finally get that dream superfight between St-Pierre and UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva? I&#8217;ll be rooting for Silva, if that happens.  </p>
