Lesnar looks even more of a joke now.

Sports fans are such a joke, especially know-it-all combat sports fans. So easy to sit behind your screens and call a freak athlete/NCAA champion/UFC champion a "joke" here. The only joke is that a bunch of couch-surfing do-nothings can sit here and insult a former HW champion who had to have a foot of his guts removed, nearly dying, still come back to fight the scariest monsters in the cage.

Some of you are really pathetic scumbags who don't know ****, have neer done ****, and will never do ****. Go ahead and **** on a champion. I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank, surrounded by his belts, trophies, notoriety, and happy family. ****in hilarious.

 

The guys 5-3 in MMA. Not exactly the stuff of legends. He's average at best in cage fighting or his record would not be close to 50%.

Would you be sucking the nutsack of a boxer with that type record? The fact that he's a former champion in MMA just shows how weak the competition is in that sport with a total of 8 fights to his name.

 

No, no boxer could come in with one pro fight and then immediately start fighting contenders and champions. Brock's record is such because he never came up like a prospect. He was the ultimate example of a one-dimensional fighter, he was just enough if a freak athlete that he overwhelmed his early opposition. He didn't like getting hit, but his chin was strong enough to withstand Carwin's barrage and come back to finish him. His career was very short, and his illness contributed to its early end.

So he was a limited fighter who had a short career, who had already gained his fame as an entertainer. Easy to take shots at the guy, but he was a tenacious and determined force who did well at whatever he tried, even coming close to making an NFL team.

I'm not on the guy's balls, I hate the way he acted in the cage to Herring (my man) and Mir. I rooted against him more often than not.

If a boxer starts at a late age and immediately starts beating champs, then gets sick, returns, and loses to a couple of champs before retiring to showbiz, he would have a mess of admirers and detractors as well. In the end, he proved he could do it. He just didn't prove he could please everyone by how he did it.

Regardless of your very subjective opinion of the weakness of MMA at this early stage of the sport's evolution, there are a lot of the best martial artists in the world in the sport. Brock fought almost exclusively the elite in his career, minus his first fight. He wasn't at the Bum Buffet like a lot of guys do. He definitely fought better opposition than someone like Naseem Hamed or Calzaghe. Nothing but names on his resume, and he did damn good, going 3-3 against former/current champions.

 

I agree, Lesnar may not go down as an all time great, but his accomplishments are noteworthy and deserve a lot more respect than some people give him. I'm sure someone coming from a pro wrestling is gonna have a lot more doubters than anyone else, but Lesnar sure proved he could hang with the best and toughest.
If he were some unknown - starting MMA training when he's almost 30, and to be a champion such a short time later, and fight through serious illness - people would be on his nuts for that ALONE.
So forget Brock Lesnar the Pro Wrestling star who rubbed people the wrong way in the beginning, and try to appreciate what he did as an athlete - that alone is a huge accomplishment.

If anything, I think the opposite - he came off as a joke at first, and proved everyone he was for real.

 

Reem off roids and against fighters who won't get bullied is a different person.
