*Wow…some great fights all around.  Two guys that really surprised me were Lesnar and and Fitch.  I had a hunch Lesnar might own power Herring early and earn a TKO, but never thought he could get in there and go three rounds.  Even standing, he was incredibly calm and relaxed.  I really expected him to blow his wad inside of the first 3 minutes.  He is now a force in the heavyweight division imo.

Now Fitch…I think there were only a handful of people that thought he could possibly out-wrestle GSP… Like most, I excpected GSP to be the superior wrestler, but also figured Fitch to be one deminsional.  I figure Fitch would break mentally once he could not impose his norml gameplan and GSp would eaily bang him out on the feat.  Fitch showed some amazing heart and proved that he is a complete fighter that can hang with the best in the game…  There is no doubt in my minf that he will be a champion one day.

Can’t say I’m overly fond of either fighter…but. I think really think Lensar is going to over-power Herring and get the early TKO stoppage.
