Look I understand if those here that think brock lesnar is a good fighter, thats your opinion and I respect it. I am going to say why I dont think he is all that great and thats the last input I will put in this thread. If you don't agree then it's cool but hear me out on this.
1 yea hes a good wrestler and an alright striker, but his actual mma training is limited. He has a bjj coach but he really only trained to defend against it not use it. IMO I feel he neglects to truly train in MMA and if he would have broadened his skills then maybe he could have been undefeated, I dont deny his athletic talent, I do however think he thinks he can get away with the limited training he has which obivously he cant
2. he has only had 7 mma matches. And he pretty much walked into mma big leagues because of his celebrity status. I dont think he really had to work for it like most people have to. again my opinion disagree with me all you want.
3. he lucked out on Carwin sorry. Give him a rematch (oh wait thats right he wants to quit..) and I am confident Carwin would win
4. He beat Randy Couture, who is a great fighter but he is old. If couture was younger I dont think he would have won the match once again, my opinion
5 I will give him a tie with Frank Mir, But their first match shows how a guy close in size can get the best of him with skills he didn't have. To lesnars credit he learned from their first match good for him
6 If he did MMA for the love of competition why are they saying he wants to quit now? A couple of losses and hes getting cold feet? That doesn't sound like a guy who really likes to compete it sounds like a guy who likes to win and quits when he loses. He did MMA for the money, which is not bad just not really for love of competing for love of a fat paycheck. Why else does he want to do wrestlemania so bad? 2 mill for 30 minutes of work? I would do it to hes just pissed he is under contract. He knew he would not make pro wrestling cash in mma just have a little more cred, which he got, but I loose respect for him because it looks like money takes precedent over hard training and real hits.
7 his record is not extensive. So he has gone against some big names but why? He doesnt fucking deserve it for christ sake! There are guys who fight 2x+ times his fights before even getting into UFC and he gets an easy? No one can deny he had the red carpet rolled out for him regardless of whether you like him or not
8 and last and not really most important his crap attitude. People like him give MMA a bad image, hes not the only one out there with this cocky attitude but the spotlight is on him and it gets noticed. Being humble is obviously not a trait that fighters are best known for, but it would be nice if they could keep the shit talking to a minimum sometimes UFC comes off with a WWE vibe to me and it is not cool.
You may respectfully disagree with me I admit I have a biased feeling towards him so maybe thats why I think this way, but I have never been a fan of the heavy weights in general I find heavy weight fights to be one dimensional but thats just me
