Everything about this sh*t show was akward and embarrassing from the start. His Don Flemenco-esque UFC promo photo, the cringeworthy face-off when Gall was announced, the silly "evolution" commercials, and finally, the contest itself, which went as everyone (barring Punk) expected. His post-mauling inspirational mic work was the icing on the cake.
Never been a fan of this guy. Wears everything on his sleeve, has a terrible rep for being a prick to his fans and reporters, and has mental illness levels of delusion regarding his capabilities. All we really learned was he's a lot better at being a pretender. As a pro-wrestler, dude taped up his hands and wrote an "X" on them, did the Wanderlei hand roll during intros, used the Pride FC logo as his own, etc. Pretty clear he loved being portrayed as a legit martial artist, without having to deal with the risks (actual competition, intentional attempts to harm, etc.). Hopefully he was choked into reality, but his threats of future fights doesn't indicate that. His wife is really hot, tho. So there's that.
