Money doesn't make you intelligent. The only thing that he backs up is the fact that his gigantic head doesn't have anything in it.

There are probably thousands in the U.S. alone that think similar. Don't let someone's size or stature dictate how truthful you are about them. Someone's size stops my thoughts about them?
I realize he has fans. He has good physical genes that someone capitalized on. But let's be honest. At least from a mental capacity. He's a meathead.
Where was all the hoopla and hurt feelings when the guy that Lesnar just beat up used to act the same way and what, all of the insults and disrespect that Mir directed to Lesnar was to just be ignored?
[FONT="]First let me say I have disliked Lesnar since I first heard he was coming to the UFC,
so my feelings were genuine since before his little antics the other night. All that
did was reinforce my opinions of him and why he was brought to UFC.
The future of UFC is going to go downhill if Dana McMahon continues to allow
these overgrown actors to continue to enter the UFC in this way. Make them earn
and prove themselves just like the other fighters have to.
I understand the Heavyweight division has always been the weakest, but to allow
Lesnar to come in and make a mockery of the sport where athletes
have sacrificed much work, time and dedication to learn the skills required is a joke.
As stated in earlier post create a super heavyweight division and let guys like him
pummel each other into oblivion.
[/FONT] [FONT="]Another thing is he makes fighters like Diego Sanchez, Rashad Evans, Bisping (who
i can't stand), I could go on. He makes these fighters who have put the time in to
develop a great record against stellar competition, wait 15 -25 fights before giving them a title shot.
Lesnar comes in after 3 fights and gets one, no experience, no sacrifice, nothing.
All this tells me is that this was all orchestrated to create controversy WWE style
to sell tickets. One huge marketing scheme.
I don't have an issue with the chatter before and after to some degree. And I don't
disagree with Lesnar won fair and sqare on the platform that was provided.

That was part of it, Also I don't believe he had earned his stripes so to say
when he was brought in. (see my 3rd paragraph).
I just feel he was brought in to create theatrics and bring attention to
the UFC (which, done right, is a good thing) but I believe it has brought
a negative atmosphere to the sport which I detest.
The sport has enough negativity from society without making it the sister
to the WWE.
Some look at it as the decay of society, equating it to the Romans and
the gladiatorial pits. The sport doesn't need that kind of focus or attention.
The focus needs to be on the art of one on one combat. Yes Lesnar
is a Wrestling Champion, and I admire him for that. And yes he has more
ability than I give him credit for.
I just think they should have went about it differently.
It seems that a lot of people are stuck on the fact that he had a career in WWE but if you are going to harp on the mans past then one must keep in mind that he was a real wrestler before the pro rasslin scouts discovered and signed him so he is a legitimate competitor and it just happens that he is an established celebrity.He is not the start of the downfall of the UFC,I dont see him getting past C.Kongo.
