Lesnar Wins UFC Championship

Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in an upset on Saturday.  Lesnar beat UFC legend Randy Couture in the second round.  Lesnar’s wife Rena (Sable) congratulated him after the match where many learned she is pregnant.

WWE took an open jab at the UFC yesterday but removed the comment earlier today.  The below was included in a congrats statement to Brock.

“Critics have noted that many of the fights on the UFC Pay-Per-View ended in the first round, leaving UFC producers scrambling to fill the three-hour event with content. The dearth of hearty competition left many viewers to watch less prestigious under-card fights and only served to bolster claims that UFC pay-per-view events can often be a “crap shoot” in regards to filling the full three hours.”

I can’t say I disagree with the WWE on this one.   I watched the PPV and was shocked by the lack of talented action.  The undercard matches were thrown on the show to try to make up for the lack of action.  My issue with that was the matches were put on instantly after the after-match interviews.  Two times I came back into the rook to find a match already started… luckily the matches were garbage.
