Comments on: Should Brock Lesnar Be The Face Of MMA Or Not? http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/should-brock-lesnar-be-the-face-of-mma-or-not-24801 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Fri, 25 May 2012 22:54:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Pete http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/should-brock-lesnar-be-the-face-of-mma-or-not-24801#comment-103048 Pete Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:07:17 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/should-brock-lesnar-be-the-face-of-mma-or-not-24801#comment-103048 Sooner or later (hopefully sooner), Lesner will get his ass handed to him quite tidily and that will be that. Until then, he's legit. I still don't believe he's the genuine article though, so I can see where your coming from. His MO is to sit on people and donkey kong them until they tap. When you outweigh all your opponents by 50lbs, this isn't tremendously hard to do. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner), Lesner will get his ass handed to him quite tidily and that will be that.

I like Frank Mir and his back-story too of overcoming injury to come back thru the ranks. I believe that both of these fighters will be a top 5 heavyweight staple for some time regardless of the outcome. If Lesnar wins, you know there will be a Lesnar/Mir III. If Dana is smart, Frank would be the first guy I would put up against Fedor if that ever comes to pass. I think Kimbo was a guy who was pushed too quickly and was carrying a minor league organization on his shoulders. The UF deal for him should give him a shot to earn some fans from the MMA ranks as I believe he respects the sport tremendously. However, I will also argue as an outsider, the thing that makes you love OR hate MMA is that, unlike boxing, the better fighter doesn't always win. SO just because someone loses, it doesn't make them bad for the sport.

He won the NCAA Heavyweight Championship at Minnesota. He's no mixed martial artist, but if his strength and force can get it done, then he's the best in the UFC. He's one scary dude.

Barry knows nothing - as others mentioned Barry's only talent is for packing more falsehoods in such a small space. While some MMA 'purists' aren't thrilled that he's the champ, they haven't abandoned the UFC. UFC 100 sold out in a few hrs - in spite of the bad economy. Dana White is inking deals around the world - and has been for a few yrs - guess the memo didn't get down to Barry who is probably living in his parents' basement. Lesnar has incredible size, power, speed and agility - if he can learn a little of the other disciplines to avoid the submissions (like the one Mir put on him after Lesnar pounded him into the mat for about 90 seconds) he's going to be a real tough out. Barry, stick to commenting on something you know about - once you figure out what it is...

Nobody thinks that Lesner doesn't deserve it. You have no quotes from anyone saying this. Mir OBVIOUSLY didn't dominate Lesner in the first fight. This is a poor attempt at garnering responses. Kind of like your Fox News bashing the other day. Redeye is a Late Night SARCASTIC show. You're losing it here buddy. Stick to chicks b/c that's why we come here. Not for your typical Cali uninformed rhetoric. :) Brooks, I think that you only wrote this to antagonize people. Nobody thinks that Lesner doesn’t deserve it.

I found respect for Kimbo here in Vegas, after his loss to seth he flew out to Coutures and trained he made a half mil on that fight and he was training and watching tape 48 hours later, he's a humble guy and a hard worker, he never speaks bad about anyone.

He seems to be a swell guy. I can't blame him for getting paid. Whether or not he's for real will get settled soon enough on TUF... I referring to the fact that the MMA hardcore fans would hate for him to be the "face of MMA." If this post was about him instead of Lesnar, the little poll on the bottom would flip-flopped...
