http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/9786978/Lesnar-looks-legit,-but-you-have-to-wonder this is a good article on brock lesnar by Mark Kreigal off of fox sports . com. my question is IF brock beats mir on saturday will he finally get the respect that he deserves and has worked hard for. Win or lose he is one of the best young heavyweights in the world in mma. if you make a top ten list of heavys then he has to be on it.
I find it laughable you think Lesner is in the top 10 heavy weights of the world after only two wins.
No one would say so if he hadn't beat Couture. If he's 4-1 with wins over Herring, Mir and Couture then of course you have to put him up there. I don't like it, I think he should have had to work his way up, but you can't deny that he won and that who be beats matters.
Well Herring isnt that impressive at all. But beating Couture despite his age and inactivity was a solid win. Beating Mir would be a solid win as well and would and should catapult Lesnar into the top 5. And id hardly call Lesnar one of the best "young" heavyweights in MMA. He is 32 years of age if not older I believe just like Carwin.
A victory over Mir will place Lesnar behind the victor of the Fedor/Barnett fight. It's too bad for Brock that Mir will keep that ranking instead.
not neccesarily without one mistake mir would have been pounded out of that fight with brock in the first round. now brocks had two more years of training to prevent that one mistake. even randys said that brock is alot more dangerous now to mir than he was when they fought before. I wouldnt be suprized to see brock win against mir saturday at all
