The Potato Index: UFC 100 Edition
(Lesnar-Mir provides a chilling preview of Lesnar-Sable later on that same night. Photo courtesy of USA Today.)
It’s time to see who’s up and who’s down after an epic weekend, and the Potato Index’s arbitrary numerical rankings system is here to help. It’s like the stock market, only dumber.
Brock Lesnar (the fighter) +117
Sure, it was all brute force and not a lot of flashy technique. And yes, he resembled a schoolyard bully more than a martial artist. But the fact is Lesnar got the job done, and in convincing fashion. Now the question is, could he beat someone his own size?
Brock Lesnar (the person) -56
We honestly didn’t think it was possible for Lesnar to hurt his own image so much even in victory. But disrespecting everyone you can think of, from your opponent to a UFC sponsor, and then ending by suggesting that you might “get on top of” your wife (that really sounds like a satisfying sexual experience for her, BTW) is a good way to go about it. Press conference apology was a good idea, but way too half-assed to make a dent.
Frank Mir -82
He had no answer for Lesnar’s takedowns or ground-and-pound. He took his beating like a man, but that’s not exactly a recipe for success or career longevity.
Georges St. Pierre +148
GSP dominated his toughest challenger to date in every facet of the fight. He also fought the last two rounds with an injured groin, which can’t be fun. To top it all off, he acted like a sportsman and a gentleman afterwards. Is there anyone at 170 who can give him a fight right now?
Thiago Alves -38
He showed tremendous heart and he never gave up. That said, if you can’t stop GSP’s takedowns you don’t stand much of a chance. He’s still young and there’s time yet to develop his wrestling skills. If he doesn’t he might have a long wait before GSP retires or moves on.
Dan Henderson +63
Huge KO adds to his highlight reel, but we could have done without the cringe-worthy moment where he admitted to tossing in that last right hand just to shut Bisping up. Is there a real reason to think he’ll fare any better against Anderson Silva a second time, or is this another Rich Franklin situation?
Michael Bisping -57
Everyone from Joe Rogan to his own cornermen could see what a bad idea it was to circle into Hendo’s right. Bisping will probably have to watch the video to learn from his mistake. That is, if he even wants to know what happened.
Jon Fitch +44
Another plodding grappling match earns Fitch his tenth UFC victory. It’s an impressive feat, even there haven’t been all that many truly entertaining bouts mixed in there.
Paulo Thiago -18
Okay, so he couldn’t do to Fitch what he did to Koscheck, but he acquitted himself well enough to show that he’s no one-hit wonder. A couple close submissions and an unrelenting spirit were the bright spots. But kid, you aren’t going far in the welterweight division unless you can wrestle.
Yoshihiro Akiyama +49
He skated by on the slimmest on margins after getting off to a good start, but the point is he got the W and got his UFC debut out of the way. We’ll be expecting more out of him in his next outing. Learning how to check a leg kick would be a good start.
Alan Belcher -12
Robbed? Not quite, unless you’re talking about whatever he paid for that piss-poor Johnny Cash likeness on his arm. Still, Belcher proved to be resilient and explosive down the stretch. He’s just got to be a little more consistent.
Mark Coleman +57
No matter how you slice it, if you’re still winning fights in the UFC in your mid-forties you’re a man who deserves respect. But he’s not getting any younger.
Stephan Bonnar -54
How many losses in a row before Dana White is forced to reconsider what he owes Bonnar for the thrilling TUF 1 Finale fight that pushed the UFC towards the mainstream? We may be on the verge of finding out.
Jim Miller +30
Back in the win column after having his streak interrupted by Gray Maynard. Still a ways to go before he can be considered a contender, but he’s got time.
Mac Danzig -33
Three straight losses is usually the magic number that leads to unemployment. Makes you wonder what happened to the TUF winner with all the potential/hummus.
Jon Jones +41
Another win for “Bones,” and this time he proves he can finish fights, too. So how good is he really? Hard to say until we see him tested by someone a little closer to the top ten.
Jake O’Brien -38
All that talk about what a bad match-up he was for Jones proved to be sadly ironic. You can’t wrestle your way out of every problem, Jake.
Tom Lawlor +46
We love a guy who doesn't take himself so seriously that he can't have a good time, but who can also choke a dude out. You just made yourself some fans, “Just Bleed.”
C.B. Dollaway -39
Well, at least there’s no argument over whether he tapped this time.
UFC 100 +63
Was it the greatest MMA event of all time? Maybe not, but it was still a damn good one. And you can’t argue with the live gate figures. Between the line-up and the Fan Expo, the UFC delivered on its promise to make this one something special.
Bruce Buffer +360
You know why…
Joe Rogan -360
I’m sorry, but didn’t he say he would shit his pants if Buffer pulled off the 360? Never thought we'd say this, but he really let us down by keeping his bowels in check.

HIT HIM WITH YOUR GROIN!!!
Bare Grappler Says:
If they let Jorge Gurgel stick around forever simply because he was a friend of Rich Franklin they should let Stephen Bonner be the jobber of the 205 lb division. I don't mind if he is a low gatekeeper at this point. I still want to see him fight.
Canadian Chronic Says:
"Lesnar-Mir provides a chilling preview of Lesnar-Sable later on that same night", to quote another iconic figure of this decade, "Its' funny because its true."
hehehehehe
Casa de los pan... Says:
In no particular order:
The 'pitbull' that showed up to fight gsp was not the 'pitbull' I have seen fight before...Alves should have had no problem running through gsp, who didn't look all that great either.
Lesnar didn't do or say anything that some other chump hasn't done or said before, people are making a mountain out of a molehill.
And Hendo's last shot on bisping...I can recall several other fights where other fighters are teeing off on ko'ed opponents and no one made this much of a deal of it.
Everyone needs to clear the sand out of their vaginas and stop crying so much.
biohazardone Says:
Damnnnnnn!!!!!, I lost a couple of hundered dollars on the main event but that is ok, I took a chance and came out short. That is the gambling game for you. As for Hendo, I dont know why people are making such a big deal. Look at some of Hendo's past fights...especially the one with Wandy, when he knocks somebody out he usually follows with a crushing blow to his apponent on the bottom. Either way, the fans loved it. As for lesnar's antics, what a poor example of a champion. He will grow to be hated if it has not already happened. Fans will now buy tickets and PPV to see brock get pummeled. In fact, is anyone ready for a cup of Fedor?
portland mma Says:
I had Akiyama completely winning the Belcher fight, I was shocked when Goldberg said Belcher got robbed. I tried to find that damn Jones and O'brien fight forever yesterday and couldn't find it. Also I hate Bisping but i felt bad for the bastard for about 3 seconds there, until I realized he had the worse game plan then Rashad did against Machida. Danzig really is proving that vegans can make it in the UFC...oh no wait.
"The 'pitbull' that showed up to fight gsp was not the 'pitbull' I have seen fight before..."
Really? Watch the Fitch and Fisher fight.
"should have had no problem running through gsp, who didn't look all that great either."
hahahahahaha thanks for the laugh, yeah GSP looked totally horrible completely beating the shit out of the number 2 WW in the world. What the fuck do you people watch when they say shit like that?
Mdollas Says:
I was dissapointed with Mir's performance....With his jiu-jitsu as good as it is, he seriously couldnt get fucking guard on brock lesner? are you joking me? not even one time could you get fucking guard? just lay in half guard the entire time....
NateGetsIrate Says:
So that was Johnny Cash tattooed on Belcher's arm? That's such a horrible idea, no matter how big a fan you are of the Man in Black. The entire bar could not stop ragging on that piece of crap, while trying to figure out who was on his arm. I think I came to closest by suggesting Elvis Costello.
And my second thought is of Dan Henderson's smashing of Bisbing. That was about as refreshing to watch as gulping down an ice cold glass of lemonade. And that second punch was fucking awesome! He freaking jumped into the air and came down with some WWE shit right in Bisbing's arrogant fuck-face. My only wish was that he would have followed that up with a flying elbow off the cage. Oooh Yeah!!!
whitey Says:
Hendo shoulda hit him again........that's what happens when you talk shit about a legend!
whitey Says:
anyone know where to watch the fights on here?
J-Dog Says:
Yeah I was disappointed that Hendo admitted to putting the coup de grace on the already sleeping Count. If he did know he was out, he probably would have been best off to have just said "I keep fighting until the ref stops it or the horn sounds". Admitting he knew he was out and he hit him anyway was poor judgment and showed he can be a poor sport.
Cock Chestnar is a douchebag. A big strong douchebag who needs to be KTFO. We need a big striker with great takedown defense to make him stand and bang. Obviously, going to the ground with him to try to exploit his lack of jiu-jitsu isn't a very good strategy.
El Famous Burrito Says:
Belcher's tattoo looked more like Otho from Beetlejuice.
Dojima Says:
belcher should take that $100,000 and use it to murder the meth-head living in a van down by the river who gave him that tattoo... dudes in prison with safety pins and guns made out of tape decks and electric shavers give better tattoos than that shitty blob on his arm.
J-Dog Says:
We were also betting on Belcher's tattoo at my house. My wife thought it was Fat Albert. I thought it was 1970's Elvis Presley (fat Elvis). Another person thought it was Muhammed Ali.
We were all in agreement that it was a very bad tattoo.
LoneWolf Says:
@portland mma
I completely agree, except for your bad choice on wagering money on frank...
Yep I'm still happy Frank got tanked!
Hendo did the right thing, GSP is a freak of MMA Nature, and Akiyama was winning that fight....all the right people got there hands raised....whether anyone likes it or not.
What a great night of Fights!!
Old_Bald_and_Irish Says:
Belcher's Tattoo: -213
Seriously, I thought it was Brock Lesnar.
Hendo's Right Hand: +120
Late shot or not, that Brit had it comin'!
Bisping's Chin: -97
Now everyone knows where your "off button" is. Maybe we'll all be able to shut him up more often.
Bruce Buffer's Boundless Enthusiaism: A couple years ago, Buffer used to annoy the hell outta me. Now, he gives me goosebumps like a lil' schoolgirl! He stepped up for UFC 100 and seemed just as psyched as everyone else to be there.
Satellite feed going out just as Mir and Lesnar get in the ring: -999
...and the worst part is, it came back on just as Brock was leaving the cage. Missed the whole thing.
J-Dog Says:
@OBI
I hope you are able to get a refund for the PPV!
Goog Says:
"...but can he do it to someone his own size?..."
Yes. I'm 6'-1" and 290+. I can do a few reps with over 500 on the bench. But when I wrestle a guy that is close to my size - and maybe not even close in strength - the reality is that if I'm on my back... I HAVE 290LBS PUSHING DOWN ON MY CHEST and pushing my arms. That's no joke. There comes a point where the weight is just too much to push around easily. GSP pushing off 170 is way easier. It doesn't apply that just because Carwin is heavier that he'll be more able to control Brock's weight from the bottom if they fight. He's going to have almost 300lbs of adrenaline fueled muscle holding him down. Carwin, or anyone else, could weigh 500lbs and they're still gonna have trouble with a person that size, whether it's Lesnar or not. Unfortunately for his opponents, Brock also seems to know what he's doing on the ground and it's a foregone conclusion that Lesnar's opponents will end up on their back. I'm probably bigger than Lesnar and for sure bigger than Carwin, but I wouldn't want either of those guys on me. I'm nowhere NEAR the wrestler they are, either, but I guarantee you they wouldn't just throw me to the side, either. After a certain point, the weight factor kicks in and you just can't shrug someone off and stand up.
With Lesnar's wrestling, he may be more comfortable giving his back to stand up. But someone has to take him down first. It's certainly possible, but he doesn't just give it to you. And lastly, I don't think the extra 15lbs Carwin has over Mir makes all the difference. Brock would have had his hands full with Mir in his guard. These are big, strong boys over 240.
portland mma Says:
@lone wolf I didn't say I wagered anything on Frank, I hate Lesnar but I didn't think Mir had a chance in hell. On a side note I was actually pretty damn impressed with Paulo Thiago. I don't think Tom Lawlor is getting enough credit either, thank you so much for being CB and not letting go the first time he tapped like everyone else and then getting reversed.
KarmaAteMyCat Says:
Seriously? Your gonna complain because a guy admitted to hitting him when he new he was out? Fuck all the bullshit about being classy and not classy, we complain about Brock Laying on mir and beating the piss out of him. Then you all cheer on GSP when he does it to Thiago Alves.. then when Hendo lays an elbow on the count when he new he was out you feel the need to complain about it? Blah blah blah what a bad sport.. Man stfu seriously.. Oh and ben I wanted to let you know I got the finger too and I couldn't careless what beer brock drinks so fuck Brock Lesnar the person I love Brock Lesnar the fighter never boring for me.
Horror Fighter Says:
I remember seeing video (probably on this site) of Dana talking to Stephan after he lost to Jones. Bonnar was extremely upset about the loss, but Dana pretty much told him not to worry about it -- that he loved the way Stephan fights and he will always have a spot in the UFC.
A loss to Coleman (while unexpected) probably isn't enough to get Stephan bounced. Mark is a legend, after all. An old one past his prime, sure, but if you look at his accomplishments, you realize he can still be a threat. (That being said: Remember when he was lined up to be a sacrificial lamb against Lesnar? If that fight had happened, Mark might have been the first guy to die in the Octagon.) Bonnar may be on the undercard forever, but I don't see him losing his job completely with the UFC.
Speaking of Brock, kudos for the caption and for ranking Brock Lesnar the person. Dana White was on O&A first thing this morning with the "Brock's really a nice, smart guy who was jacked up on emotion" spin. OK, I'm willing to believe that Mir's trash talking and crowd reaction led to some his behavior, but the statements about Bud Light and getting on top of his wife are comments from a man with zero class. He's not a nice person, and you could see this side of Brock long before UFC 100. He's a poor representative of the sport, and, unfortunately, we'll be stuck with him as the dominant heavyweight champ for a long, long time.
As for Belcher getting robbed: I thought he took the first round, lost the second, and the third could have gone either way. His leg kicks were vicious, but Akiyama seemed more aggressive. I don't see how one judge scored 30-27 for Akiyama, but I wasn't surprised that he won.
Oh, and Danzig. I hate to see you lose. Please just try eating some chicken and steak during your next camp and see if it makes a difference. Please?
Biffmiester Says:
Joe Rogan is still the luckiest pothead in the world, Goldy should get +2 points for saying shit on-air after the Lesnar match, and Bruce Buffer is more full of win that Japanese female twins with phat asses (...then again).
TheSlothman Says:
Belcher's tattoo looks like Kim Jong Il, for real.... and bottom line, MMA needs another division, call it super heavy, cruiserweight, whatever the fuck you want. im tired of watching 40 to 75 lb. weight dif. in fights, just cus its the big boys. you wouldnt let Wanderlei fight Uriah faber, and honestly , its the same amount of weight difference.
Savageleto Says:
Belcher's tattoo looks like Kim Jong Il---
He should get that shit lased... and ffs redone--plenty of artists out there can do photographic copy level tatts...
Savageleto Says:
oh shit.. lmao funny
I agree with your other point too..
get out of my brain Slothman!
portland mma Says:
lol @ slothman, it did kind of look like that crazy bastard.
Canadian Chronic Says:
@ Karmaatemycat
holy fuck, you are stoopid. People cheer on GSP when he controls an opponent the same size as he is. When yer 40 pounds heavier then yer opponent it isnt much a physical feat to lie on top of the person and wail away.
AND,
when people like Dana White are trying to legitimize the sport and bring it to the masses you dont need mouthpieces like cock chestner unraveling all your hard work. See, there is a rule that Dana repeats over n over in the TUF house about no fighting unless it is in the ring, so that they dont look like a bunch of knuckledragging homophobic steriod jerkoffs with the intellectual capacity of a turnip. True, cock chestner may not care(or have any dignity) but, you know damn well that Dana gives a great big fuck about it.
pull yer head outta yer ass
Richard Fitzentite Says:
Wondering about that weasel fee of $100,000 to have the honor of sponsoring a fighter. I saw "The Dolce Diet.com" as a fighter sponser. I think I'll leave it at that.
Savageleto Says:
Seriously ...
Cock Chester was a total ass pipe for the entire event weekend until the end, when he did everything and more to prove beyond doubt that he is the reigning, defending, UFC Heavyweight Jerkoff.
Look how it started..
"I am done talking, in fact when I am done here I am leaving the building.. Cheap 2 dollar chairs break!-- Me smash"
Dana- "Brock .. sit the fuck down doofus"
"oh Ok...me sit"
And it was all down hill from there..
Did anyone catch His wife Tell a fan that was obviously jeering them to "Fuck off" ??
It is clearly visible at the end of the broadcast when they show him and her walking back to the locker room....
JPfighter-DAMMA Says:
I don't understand what all the fuss is about with respect to Brock Lesnar. The guy came to the UFC with the WWE stigma on his back, so right from the beginning people gave him no respect. I can see how that could piss him off. The fact is, that Brock has added some serious interest to the UFC heavyweight division, which has been a snoozefest for the last number of years. Frankly, I like all the commotion that Brock is causing. It's about time. Why can other fighters be cocky sob's, but the moment that Brock is cocky, everyone's nose goes out of joint? The guy is a fighter, not a politician or humanitarian. If all the UFC had was politically-correct straight-laced fighters, it would get pretty damn boring, wouldn't it? And for everyone who is saying that Brock only wins because he is 40 pounds heavier, is that his fault? No. He is using the tools he has. Who else moves with his speed and agility at 265? Nobody I have ever seen. If the other heavyweights don't like the rules, then either put on some muscle & improve your skills, or go get another job. I didn't hear anyone bitching about the weight advantage that Tim Sylvia had when he fought as the UFC champ. The UFC heavyweight division is far more interesting than the Tim Sylvia days, isn't it?
agentsmith Says:
I guess no one else noticed how when Lesnar got in Mir's face after the fight, the athletic commission guys tried to pull him away, and he shrugged them off and told them to back the fuck away from him at least twice. I'm sure Dana was very pleased about that too. I wouldn't be surprised if the NSAC fined him for that.
Savageleto Says:
If the UFC was filled with GSP class level fighters.. there is no way it would get boring.
Brock is more then cocky... he is a douchebag.
The heavyweight division may be more interesting.. but imo Brock has little to do with it.. I do not get excited to see this guy fight, however I will probably cheer loudly when he finally gets knocked out.
The only excitement he offers is that day of him getting knocked out...
That will happen.
agentsmith Says:
Speaking of the athletic commission, I also couldn't help but notice how many times they checked/wiped GSP's back between rounds. They even made sure to wipe a little glob of vaseline off his arm before the fight started.
Canadian Chronic Says:
Sorry,
"I don't understand what all the fuss is about with respect to Brock Lesnar. The guy came to the UFC with the WWE stigma on his back, so right from the beginning people gave him no respect. I can see how that could piss him off"
why does it piss him off? Why cant it encourage, motivate, him to prove them wrong? Why goes it have to be negative Energy?
ed's note-steriods.
"Why can other fighters be cocky sob's, but the moment that Brock is cocky, everyone's nose goes out of joint?"
They can, but, i dont remember those fighters pissing of the main sponsor? Seriously, think about the money generated in a day by Anheusr-Busch worldwide, think to yourself, do I ever see a UFC logo at any bud/coors light/canadian promo event? no, cuz Bud inc doesn't need their money, but Dana White sucked alot dick to get Bud Incs' sponsirship money. talk about poking the bear
And for everyone who is saying that Brock only wins because he is 40 pounds heavier, is that his fault? No.
No, not at all. I just wanna see the guy challenged. If you saw two men Couture and Lesnars' size standing in the street, squaring off, do you think thats gonna be an even fight?
No doubt about it. Lesnar will rule the HW division for a long time. But are the fights really gonna be interesting to watch? A much as I'd love for Lesnar to get his comeuppance I dont see it happening anytime soon. Its just gonna be, "oh, exactly what he did last time, smother, fists to the head, referee stoppage. whoowee
sorry for the looooong post

@ JPfighter:
What's the fuss about with Brock Lesnar? Let's run down the list.
1) Tries to walk out of the pre-fight press conference and has to be stopped by Dana. I read on BloodyElbow.com that Dana had to talk to him twice more after that.
2) Refuses to touch gloves. No big deal, he's hardly the first and won't be the last, but it adds to the rest of his behavior.
3) Gets in Mir's face immediately after the fight. Again, no big deal and not the first and won't be the last, but again it just adds to the rest.
4) Screams and literally sprays spit at the camera. Certainly not the first guy to stick his face in the camera after a win, but no one has ever done it like that before. He looked exactly like a rabid dog trying to attack someone.
That's just the appetizers. Now here's where it starts getting serious...
5) When the athletic commission guys try to pull him away from Mir, he physically shrugs them off and tells them to get the fuck off him at least twice. Getting physical and confrontational with the officials is a pretty serious no-no. Like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if the NSAC officially reprimanded or even fined him for it.
6) Gives the double-fingers to the entire crowd. I can't recall anyone ever doing that before, much less a champion. Tim Sylvia was a rather unpopular champ, but neither he nor anyone else has never reveled in it like this. It's especially asshole-ish considering people wouldn't have been booing him in the first place if he didn't act the way he was/does.
7) Talks shit about one of the UFC's biggest sponsors. Employers tend to frown on this kind of thing, to say the least.
All combined, it's undoubtedly the biggest display of classlessness and unprofessionalism (are those really words?) I've ever seen in all of MMA, and it's particularly bad coming from a champion. Lesnar's not only the undisputed champ now, he's also the undisputed biggest asshole (in more than one sense) ever to fight in the UFC. This guy makes Nick Diaz look like GSP.
Daddy_jeffy Says:
"Robbed? Not quite, unless you’re talking about whatever he paid for that piss-poor Johnny Cash likeness on his arm."
I thought it was Tom Arnold. I think he got it from the same tattoo artist who put it on Rosanne.
On a side note, Tom earned his money...
831 Son Says:
Shut the hell up with the ridiculously long fucking essays you guys are writing.
JTho Says:
Cagepotato, this article was disappointing.
First, it's absurd to claim that Brock only won based on size and strength alone. I feel like a broken record, but it's worth reiterating that Brock was a national champion wrestler -- something that Randy never accomplished. Perhaps it's more accurate to say that Mir's jiu jitsu lost the fight. If you think size will win fights alone, I'd recommend watching Fedor vs Hong Man-Choi again. If size is all that matters, why isn't Bob Sapp the best fighter in the world? Your personal bias undermines your credibility and opinions of Brock as a fighter.
Second, are you really suggesting there isn't a 'real person' who thinks Hendo can beat Silva? Did you see the first round of their first fight? Did you see Bisping's eyes roll back into his head? Have you seen Silva's last two fights?
DangadaDang Says:
It was funny, I see the vid off the Buffer three 60 and this random girl runs into my house and flashed me...
831 Son Says:
@JTho:
I totally fucking agree with you.
Besides the Anderson Silva thing though. Anderson will show his mastery of MMA in his next fight with Forest. And just to reassure the faggot fucking fans, its not all about KO's. What was wrong with his last two fights? NOTHING.
AgentoftheBat Says:
I agree totally with everyone saying that Brock is making it interesting.
So what if he's offending people. So what if he flips off the fans. It's fun.
I was glad to see him in Mirs face after the win. Mir talked a ton of shit on him and he was worked up. They are fighters, stuff like that happens.
Besides, it gives you handful that like to recycle jokes a chance to break out those gems like, "Cock Chestnar".
At this point I think some Dangerfield one liners would feel newer...
Chri534. Says:
Hahahaha at the Rogan assessment. Nice work CP.
Also, I originially thought Belcher won that fight. I'm going to have to go back and watch it again (I thought Belcher had round 1), because fightmetric also scores it for Akiyama....
831 Son Says:
@ Goog
Uh yea they would throw your ass around like a ragdoll. You would get fucking destroyed bro. Sorry to shit on your parade but you would get smashed.
Streitigkaiser Says:
I don't understand why everyone is giving Hendo so much crap? Has anyone ever been in a fight, when the blood is on that is just how that shit goes sometimes and who is to say Bisping wouldn't have done the same? This is MMA not golf.
