Errrrrrr.......how can anyone view lesnars performance as "positive"????

Why rag on the guy? By all accounts he is taking MMA seriously and took on a former UFC HW champion who might have been the WORST match up for him stylewise. He almost caught Mir, lost the fight and did not complain. He gracefully said he would come back and a loss is not going to derail him from his new career.

Fact is that Lesnar is a superior athlete to just about every HW in the UFC. His speed for a guy his size is insane. His strength is not debated. He needs to improve his skillset.

As a fan of MMA, I want to watch him evolve as a fighter and I support his efforts 100%.

 

He's still less of a joke as an MMA presence than Kimbo.

Both seem to be pretty single-mindedly dedicated (for whatever that's worth), so you have to look at their pedigrees - and I'm sorry, Lesnar's actual competitive accomplishments just stomp all over Kimbo's vid resume.

 

I like Kimbo, he's a good powerful street fighter, that actually throws punches with good technique and power, which is already a step ahead of most MMA guys.

 

And that means next to nothing when you're facing a guy like Lesnar.

 

Lesnar crushes Kimbo, there can be no doubt. Wonder if they'll traverse orgs to fight each other? They're certainly each other's biggest payday opportunity, with all the circus attraction between them. :yep

 

Obviously its not positive for you but it's positive for MMA...He was subbed not dominated and he did look good and strong.

Wish some of these vets can learn from Brock in some way..go in there with the seek and destroy mentality.. Brock was confident of his skills. It makes for an exciting fight win or lose

As for the fight though, never have I heard of such Buzz. My brother in law and his friends were at the fight and said the buzz was incredible for this fight. Cant wait to see the PPV #s

 

Excellent post. I view Lesnar's loss as the best for the sport. he can always be hyped back up - but it would have been a blow to the credibility of MMA to have an inexperienced fighter defeat a former UFC champion.

Now, Lesnar can learn from his mistakes and come back another time. There are plenty of intriguing match ups down the road.

 

Young kid looking up old mma fights, giving his worthless 2 cents about it, bumping threads 4-5 years old. Sherdog would welcome you dearly.

 

Way to bump a worthless thread with a worthless post dip****.
