I have to say that Brock gets my vote. He dominated a tough fighter, he battered him for 15 minutes and he proved he had the stamina to last for 3 rounds.

I cant wait to see Brock fight next.

I'll go with GSP he dominated a guy who would beat the majority of people in their weight class. Fitch is a animal and GSP rolled right over him.

Brock and GSP tied, GSP showed he is not gun shy, and Brock showed his raw ability and the vast improvement he has made since his last fight.

Id have to agree with you and say Brock. OK he needs work in certain areas but it was a massive improvement on his last fight. The speed of the guy for his size is awesome. I too am looking forward to his next fight...

brock demolishing one of the most experienced tough veterans in the game in just his third pro fight was the most impressive. that guy is going to be a force.

Jon Fitch impressed me the most. The shots that guy took. I was not a fan of his going into that fight but I became a fan around mid way through the fight. I think GSP is right, this loss may be the best thing to happen to him.

Hands down Lesnar should win this poll. People should have no doubt that he is a force in the HW division. I thought his speed was ridiculous for such a massive beast. Could have done without his antics at the end of the rounds and at the end of the fight but he looked solid nonetheless.

Kongo impressed me in the amount of times he can kiss his hand and tap his chest. I thought he would never beat his record of 113 against Herring but I counted 117 while walking to the Octagon this time. Great job you big manbeast of jungle love.

*counts may be off due to the fact I was screaming at my TV "Quit kissing your freakin hand"*

That is the funniest thing ever but you must of not seen the UFC 82 weigh ins we were there and I counted 132 just to the weight in scale and while he was weighing in haha.

I gotta go with Brock on this one because I didn't expect it to happen. I figured GSP would beat Fitch up and I had Florian beating Huerta but I didn't think Lesnar would put it all together this early in his career against a very dangerous and experienced fighter in Herring.

Lesnar has still got alot to learn. I mean he had his back so many times and did almost nothing. Still very impressive considering it's his third mma fight but i wish he could have done more with a dominate position.

GSP continues to astound me. Their is very little he isn't good at.

GSP for sure. He made a very game and tough opponent look completely outclassed in that fight.

Holy crap, am i the only one who voted for maia so far? That dude impressed me soo much for not having that many fights and going up against a very game jason macdonald. that fight was such a great ground battle!

Brock impressed me too, but i would have liked to seen him throwing more punches on the stand up because he has powerful punches and kicks and herring wouldnt have been able to take lesnar down then if lesnar got in trouble he could just take heath down.
