Toward the end of his UFC career he was pretty dang sad... I see where you're coming from though. |

I think you mean Ken. Frank is the badass of the shamrocks but didnt fight much if at all in UFC. |

| Well unsurprsingly Block Headner went down by submission. Mir didn't look great either. Meh. |

Mir looked terrible, with a little more time and experience brock will be a powerhouse. |

+1
Brock definitely has the raw skills and talent, but it takes time to develop the more technical side of the sport (as in how to avoid submissions coming from a BJJ black belt with years of experience). This definitely won't be Brock's last fight and I look forward to seeing him with some better submission avoidance skills. The man's a beast and if he does develop better submission skills he'll be a unstoppable. He's already got the striking and wrestling skills pretty well in control. |

So, I'm assuming that this 'wrestling' you're all on about is not so much WWF style?
Is proper wrestling a big part of the sports program in American schools? It's non-existent over here. |

Yes it is from HS all the way to the collegiate level. |

I'm kind of surprised. America being the 'land of law-suits', I would have thought that a specific contact sport like wrestling would be highly 'risky' for schools to offer? |
