Jim Ross is back with another blog from his official site, which you can read here in its entirety. Some highlights:

Cena vs. Batista: The all star tandem of John Cena and Batista imploded Monday nite and lost the World Tag Titles back to Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase after a 7 day reign. Then Cena and the Animal had a predictable brawl... predictable in the sense that the 2 popular superstars obviously were not on the same page. The brawl certainly increased my interest in Cena and Batista’s Summerslam bout. It will be interesting to see what role the live crowd in Indy plays, if any, when these two have their alpha male battle. This one could go either way and if Batista’s wheel is good to go I’m leaning toward the Animal. That probably guarantees a Cena win.

C.M. Punk Post-SummerSlam: C.M. Punk is fighting for respect and to retain the World’s Title against the dangerous JBL. I see Punk winning but it won’t be easy. Interesting clash of wrestling styles also. The question here is where does a loss put Punk? Fluke? Overachiever? Back to the drawing board? Punk has never been in a match in his life this important all things considered

Brock Lesnar's First UFC Win: Brock Lesnar was a beast Saturday night winning by unanimous decision against Heath Herring. Lesnar who made weight at 265 likely tipped the Toledos at around 280 by fight time and used that weight and strength advantage effectively. Lesnar delivered some nasty knees throughout the fight. The former NCAA Heavyweight Champion (2000) can take any one down that I have seen in MMA. If there is a man out there that can keep his feet for extended periods of time against Lesnar then I definitely want to see that man compete.

Did you agree with Lesnar's corner at the end of the 2nd round telling Brock to use his right hand more when it seemed that Herring is his most dangerous when standing/throwing AND because Lesnar was taking Herring down at will?

Lesnar's first move of the night was a kick followed by a sick right hand. Herring survived that initial flurry by being $2 steak tough but this one was relatively academic after the first round. Lesnar's MMA skill set has greatly improved and the athletic freak, a guy I signed to his first contract in the WWE, always seemed to me to be the kind of athlete that hated losing more than he enjoyed winning which is a scary philosophy for future Lesnar opponents.

Lesnar's journey to become a great MMA fighter is far from over but the former Golden Gopher made up some serious ground Saturday night. Lesnar might not be the "Next Big Thing" in the UFC but he's back in big picture.
