I guess I can say it now...I'm incredibly disappointed with the result. The fight itself was amazing. Brock got a power takedown in the first and DOMINATED that round. He was within reasonable closeness of finishing Kane. Kane came back strong in the second, and evened up the damage for the most part, with both men in the red (about 28% health remaining). In the third, Kane landed the clean shot after Lesnar got some damage in and that was that. If this is how these guys will fight every time, I'm all in favour of having this fight headline every ManMMA event next season. I am sad Brock did not win, but no one has put Kane 2.0 in that kind of trouble since he became champion. How the fuck am I going to pick a fight of the night after all of this?
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
