UFC 100 POST FIGHT TALKING POINTS

It's 2:45 AM and the last of the nights fight crew just hit the road, so instead of a full blown review I will hit some bullet points to discuss more in depth tomorrow.

• Brock is getting amazing heat from the fans for "poor sportsmanship" for flipping everyone the bird ( Which has of course never happened before...cough...Diaz....cough), when just two fights previous we saw Dan Henderson admitting inflicting additional harm on an opponent he claims he KNEW was unconscious.

• Will Brock face any punishment for his criticism of the UFC's most important sponsor, Bud Light?

• Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz were stars. Brock is going to be a superstar. My phone, email, Facebook and twitter were blown up all night by people telling me either how great he is for the sport or how bad he is for the sport. In my opinion, Brock is the smartest guy in the room. He was never going to be accepted by hardcore fans in the MMA world, so he decided to be the best bad guy money could buy. He got exactly what he wanted and exactly what the UFC wanted. Fans who love him will pay to see him fight, and fans who hate him will pay to hopefully see him lose. I think the latter will remain disapointed for a great many years. Tonight, in my mind, Brock became MMA's Tyson. Hardcores hated him and considered him overrated and immature, but he was the only boxer the rest of the world cared about.
  

• I am PRETTY sure that much of Brock's success in controlling Frank on the ground was courtesy of turn of the century catch-wrestling chanceries and modified-nelsons.
  

• As promised, Michael Buffer pulled off a 360 and the cameras didn't even catch it.

• Alan Belcher's tattoo was the talk of the show both at my place AND on the net. Before it was revealed to be Johnny Cash, our best guesses were: Kim Jong Il, Elvis, Fat Albert, and Rosie O' Donnell.

• Did anyone notice the sea of commission personnel making SURE that GSP wasn't greasing?
  

• Everyone here wanted to know who bloodied up the mat before the PPV portion of the card. The answer: Stephen Bonnar and Mac Danzig.
  

• Both Akiyama and Belcher was quite impressive. I had Belcher winning 1 and 3, with Akiyama taking round 2. I will rewatch tomorrow to see if I might have missed something.

• Mark Coleman proved me, the NSAC and bookmakers wrong.

• What did you guys think of the manner in which Greg Jackson addressed GSP in between round? I think the best comparison would be to an adult talking to a kindergartner.

• Where does Bonnar go from here?
  

• Good night!
