He's definitely good for business. I never denied that. He's bad for the traditions and history that comes with MMA.I disagree. He brings attention, and money to the sport. He sells tickets, sells PPV, and makes people pay attention. Brock doesn't play the role of a WWE heel. Brock has been made the heel simply because many people, especially those that have fought their whole lives to get half what he has achieved, look down on him for his "easy" path.
Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature. Should he be faulted for being a massive monster that can move as fast as guys our size?
Hell no he shouldn't. If you think the heavyweight division is in tatters, well, it is. There isn't a man in it right now that can beat Lesnar. If Carwin gets a rematch (which he should and will) he will lose again and most likely by absorbing a beating this time.
Brock Lesnar hadn't stepped into the ring in a year, managed to beat a life threatening illness in that time, came back and defended his title in a way that NOBODY saw coming.
His skills increase exponentially everytime we see him fight. If he keeps training the way he has been and working to be the best, like he has at every juncture throughout his life, he will be in the UFC hall of fame.
This warrior, and that's what he is, should not be chided for his ridiculous accomplishments, he should be revered for his work ethic and his tenacity.
There is not another man in the UFC that could have absorbed that punishment from Carwin and kept his head intact.
Ask Mir and the 11 others that couldn't make it out of the first round against Carwin.
If there's a problem with the UFC heavyweight class, it's the weight limits, not the massive beast standing atop.
