For long as I can remember, Brock Lesnar has been someone who has made a name for himself. He has been a NCAA wrestling champion, WWE Champion when he was in professional wrestling, he even tried out for the Minnesota Vikings. Now he is the current UFC Heavyweight Champion with a record of just 3 wins and a loss. That is just amazing on paper, but how true can that be? Is he that good? Or is it just all show?
Well, you have to look at Lesnar. This guy is a freaking mastodon!. But not only that; he was fast and agile, which is a skill that most big guys don’t have. Another fact is that he wears custom-made gloves, size 4XL. How much scarier could that be?
Now, in the subject of matches, we haven’t been able to see much of his skills in UFC; still he has managed to obtain UFC’s major title in a very short period of time.
Some might think just because he was in WWE he was given the opportunity to fight for the championship in such short notice, while other contenders wait more time to get the chance to gain the gold.
They might be right or wrong, but look at the matches Lesnar has had. He pounds his opponents like if they were paper. This guy has what it takes to be the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Now, his next match is against Frank Mir, the first guy Lesnar fought with when he started in UFC. Mir defeated Lesnar by submission because Lesnar wasn’t careful enough against Mir’s attacks, but it would have been Lesnar’s match.
We cannot put aside the fact Mir has more experience than Lesnar, no doubt about that. But I don’t think Frank Mir can beat Brock Lesnar again, when UFC 98 comes around in May. This time it’s for the Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Championship.Lesnar goes in as the UFC Heavyweight Champion and Mir goes in as the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion. My bets are on Brock Lesnar.
