Only unlike Kimbo , Lesnar actually has at least 1 legit victory + Lesnar is also a legit NCAA wrestling champion. I'm sure they'll try everything in their power to hype this guy and use him as their mega-cashcow more than ever before. And i guess it's good for the sport in a way since Lesnar is already a huge name.
Lesnar has gotten thrown to the wolves, and he's had to create his own hype. Kimbo gets gimme fight after gimme fight (not to mention help from refs) so the casual fans will love him. I don't like Dana White, but I appreciate the approach he's taking with Lesnar. Lesnar either rises to the top or gets run out of the UFC in no time.
Who knows , maybe he has the potential to become a champ. (afterall , too many people forget that like lindland , coleman , randleman , couture...etc ...he is a legit greco roman wrestler)... But imo , he's more likely to get subbed (if he ever gets to become a contender and fight a guy like Nog). Unless , Mir finds a way to beat nog...maybe they'll have an ideal rematch between these two and lesnar will find a way to somehow avoid the sub ....too many "ifs" ....
I agree. Lesner is fighting contenders at the heavy. Tonight was his first win but given that this was his 3rd fight he hasn't done bad. Kimbo is a joke. Lesner is at least trying to make it in the sport with real opponents.
