Here's a hint. Neither one failed a post fight test.

One of them did dodge their pre-fight test though.

One of them dodged real fighting for years

Pride FC was very entertaining to a lot of people.

To me it looks like he just doesn't have that natural punching ability. I mean even I can throw a better punch and I've only been to a few MT classes lol. But in all seriousness, I really hope he moves down to the regional/ammy circuits and hones his skills a bit more before another UFC adventure. Or maybe they can book him against Mike Jackson since they brought that guy in just to fight Gall.

I really like Brooks though. He's been sincere and genuinely humble throughout this whole process and seems to really be enjoying himself. Being that he's my age I'm really rooting for the guy who started from nothing 2 years ago and is trying to go in there and hang. Good for him. I just hope he doesn't get too hurt in this journey.

Yeah I definitely don't want to hate on the guy for nothing. I was quick to bring in the pitchforks like most people but once I finally saw him talking - must've been friday night - I realized he's just a guy trying his best at a really tough enterprise.

Apparantly UFC 203 was eaten up by the casual fanbase who bought tickets purely for CM Punk. I just saw an article about numbers being just below McGregor fights. Honestly I think that's bad for the sport. The people watching were only there for Punk and what reason do they have to become long time fans? UFC 203 was a weird let down of a card... hardly a card that would draw in new viewers.

Did Punk punch himself in the nose right before getting taken down?

It's just the angle.

Well it means Punks next fight will be in the UFC. The card was a letdown, but it looked pretty good on paper until it had 4 late cancellations and only 1 guy replaced. Visa issues, injury, and an elevator did a number on this card before it even started. Combined with the just weird fights and it under performed what it could have been. Main event was solid though.
