    I mean what did he do?? yeah, he is big and strong. and he came out swinging.........everyone knew that.

    but what he did was mostly just brute........like a streetbrawler or a football player.

    as soon as things got technical he had to tap out!!!!!

    so what does this say about his future in the UFC???

    nothing......or at least nothing positive. its not like he confirmed anything about his abilities.

    and certainly not the hype about being the "next big thing"!

    UFC reports should be less biased imo.

    It showed that he was easily beating the living **** out of a former UFC heavyweight champion.

    It was what it was. Which we all knew was a WWE wrestler with superb wrestling credentials coming into the Octagon and taking on a Jujitsu guy. No ones shocked that Lesnar lost and im pretty sure Brock isnt either. But one thing is real HE DOES have the talent to make some noise and he does have the natural talent to hang with the heavies. It all depends on how quick he can learn and his dedication to MMA if he wants to make a dent.

    To expect the UFC not to promote a name as big as Brocks is nothing less than ******ed.

    well i think it showed that he very well my be able to overwhelm a lot of fighters. He took mir down with ease and controlled him and was landing shots. What if he fights someone with weaker subs.

    Brock Lesnar, as a fighter now, doesn't deserve to be in the UFC. He needs more training to be able to compete at the elite level, which is pretty much all the UFC has to offer him.

    Also, he doesn't hit hard enough to be a threat right now. Sure he is big, but if it were Alex Emelianenko or Arlovski or Sylvia or any number of much much better Heavyweights landing those shots on Mir, Mir mighta gotten KOed. Brock doesn't yet have the power that his enormous strength could grant him.

    He didn't perform better than expected, nor worse.

    Lesnar needs to **** off back to wrestling. I like the guy but nearly pissed myself when he got caught so easily and tapped out so soon. I know it hurt like mad but still it was hilariuos.

    Knee bars arent funny. If Mir had really cranked it it would have blown out his knee so **** yeah he was right to tap. Id like to see him back wrestling but i doubt that will be for some time and i have no problem with him challenging himself in the UFC.

    No problem with him testing himself and I am one of hhis biggest supporters of him going into the sport. He'a good guy and a very good athelete with tasty skill and I know knee bars are awful but seeing a giant of a man like him getting stfd like that after looking so dominating was HILARIOUS.

    It will be one of my favorite youtube moments for a long time.

    His face after was like this :oops: did that just happen.

    The guy took one loss and now everyone thinks he sucks. What is everyone going to say after his next fight if he wins, I can see the thread now.


    WHY IS BROCK LESNAR SO GOOD?

    That there is the fickleness of young fight fans. They blow where ever the wind takes them and jump on whatever express is new.
