You also shared your thoughts on who Junior dos Santos should face in place of Alistair Overeem, autograph encounters and opinions on a certain freak show fight. If you want to join in on Reader Rants, like Cagewriter on Facebook and comment on our posts.
Readers thought the planned bout between Bob Sapp and Mariusz Pudzianowski would be interesting to watch.
Neither one can actually fight. Whoever runs outta gas first loses! — Leslie Stapleton
See Bob Sapp either A) tap out due to strikes before 1 min. or B) have him claim injury after 1 min ….ALL DAY! :P — Sohrob Kohistani
Most readers thought that Rashad Evans handled the fan asking for an autograph of his KOed picture well .
Rashad handled it alright, I mean he could have just told him to go away but in the moment that is just disrespectful. I’ve gotten a bunch and everyone is cool but nicest guys had to be Bisping and Pulver. They’re just great to their fans. — Gabriel Martinez
A fan or someone trying to get a reaction out of him while being recorded? Hmmmmm. — Nate Bear
With Alistair Overeem likely out of UFC 146 , several fans started a campaign to get Mark Hunt the title shot. Some Cagereaders agreed on Hunt, while others wanted to see Frank Mir or Cain Velasquez .
