I believe the punches landing on the back of the head were accidentally landed in the midst of a fury, and perhaps another judge on another day would have let them slide. If it were one of those nights, Mir would have got his ass pummeled through the mat right then and there...

Any other Ref would have stopped it as well. Those were multiple shots to the back of the head, the rules are there for a reason. Watch the video of the fight again, and you can see that the reason Mir was getting hit in the back of the head was because he was already going for a knee bar.

I have a lot of faith in Lesner's mma future, but even if he should prove to not rise to the level expected of him, I don't see them doing anything to drop him from the roster. Like I say, he makes for an exciting fight, and he is bringing new fans to mma with his pro wrestling followers. If they have to, they just keep feeding him chumps. I think it's safe to say UFC's heavyweight division is still fairly lackluster, and someone like Lesner in there is going to make for a much more exciting fight, even if he winds up getting tapped out every time...

Agree. Lesnar brought in huge money for the UFC, and will continue to do so. The UFC's HW division isn't as good as it should be, but the saving grace is Minotauro as Champ.
I bet Lesnar vs Coleman will be a HUGE PPV.
