I don't like Lesnar..and yet , i'm glad to see him back

http://blogbeckett.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/brock-lesnar-signs-for-2010-topps-ufc-uncaged/

I'll admit it , the hype that surrounds this guy is absurd as far as i'm concerned. he's got great wrestling but looks one dimensional & has suspect stamina. But at the same time , i'm glad that he's ok , not just for the sport but also for his family...

And i hope he'll keep that belt as long as possible. (because the ufc needs a legit consistent champion)...

I don't like Dana white's style...but ufc's ratings are primordial for this sport. We already lost pride fc , and i'd hate to see the ufc go the same route. (but considering how greedy these guys are , it's not likely to happen imo)

 

For me the hype is absurd because a majority of people are talking about this guy as not only a fedor-killer , but also , as some unbeatable monster. Which he certainly isn't.

What he did against Heath , Emelianenko did it a few years back (only it was more brutal )...What happened in his fight against Couture showed two crucial things.

1 - his stamina is very questionable. (he showed signs of fatigue in no time). And that's probably because...

2 - surprisingly enough , the much smaller randy was holding his own and at times even outpowering him. (i'll admit it , i was very surprised by this , i was expecting a guy of lesnar's size to crush randy).

Yes, he's big , he's athletic , he's strong , & happens to be a great wrestler. But i don't see anything else. What he did to Mir , (something Ian Freeman did better)...wasn't shocking either. Let's not forget that Mir's best career achievement is his 2008 victory against Nogueira. (sorry but this wasn't the 2003/2004 nog we're talking about , he even looked bad and almost got finished by a washed up heath in their 3rd fight ).

Knowing all this...I find the hype surrounding this guy to be god-like..(or fedor-like)...and yet he only has a 4-1 record. I think fans have a short and selective memory imo.

Having said all that , i'm still hoping to see him improve (i think he's one dimensional and will get subbed as soon as he'll be confronted to a guy who doesn't panic on the ground....In other words , the anti-Frank Mir)...the problem is that this guy is a shadow of his former self (nog)...(though he had a fantastic fight against Couture) , still the guy is shot.

Maybe i'm wrong...I don't say i'm 100% right , it's just my opinion..Based of what i've seen so far , i personally find the lesnar hype to be ...too much. He's a capable fighter , i'm not denying it , but that's about it.

I think i'm being reasonable. i'm ranking him somewhere in the top 10 (even with his 4-1 record)..

 

Like i said earlier.. "it's just my opinion" , to me , he clearly seemed gassed , i'm still waiting to be blown away by the guy. (his most impressive victory so far was against Frank Mir).

 

I don't think i'm actually pissed by his arrogance... But more by noobs , wwe fans & dana..

Remember these post fight comments of his ?



“Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass and I told him that a year ago. I pulled that [expletive] down and I beat him up. Whooo!…I’m going to go home tonight and drink a Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me. I’m going to sit down with my friends and family and hell i might even get on top of my wife tonight.”

Personally ? i wasn't bothered one bit by these comments..(but maybe that's because i don't like Mir)... I also thought it was hilarious seeing Lesnar encouraging fans to boo his ass. He is , ufc's villain. But it's so over the top that it doesn't **** me off. on the contrary...

I find people like Matt Hugues & Mir to be way more arrogant.

No , i think it all boils down to Lesnar's hardcore fans (or ex-wwe fans) & Dana White. (who would do and say anything for money , Kimbo slice is the living proof of that too)
