Yes 5 and 2, he is totally over rated! You act like he beat a bunch of chumps! He beat 2 ex champs... Just like I mentioned in previous post, people will always hate on the 400lb gorilla... Kobe, LeBron, Arod, Shaq,etc... No matter what they do, when they win people will make excuses and when they lose people will "tear" them apart.
Notice in those fights, when they were able to throw, they defended against Lesnar well. When the UFC had no choice but to introduce guys who were as good at striking as they were grappling, Lesnars lights went out.
He deserves credit for attempting to learn something other than LNPGNP (Lay n pray, ground and pound). But in doing so, it showed he really has a lot of work to do. If he takes the path he showed after getting his ass whooped last week, stops believing his own hype, he could be one of the greatest ever; but that is going to take a lot of work. Like McRae said, you can't teach someone to take a punch, or not to flinch at the merest hint of one coming your way.
I would LOVE to see a good example for the big guys. It would rock of Lesnar took on a serious camp. Which means leaving his home training lair. There are just so many guys toiling away in rat trap gyms who have a better skill set, his size; and are willing to do whatever it takes, wherever they have to do it. Lesnar hasn't been that guy. He has been coddled, and the hype machine built up around him has really made this loss bad for him.

No Argument choke, but as stated before, if it was as easy as just being HUGE, more guys would try there hand at UFC... I'm not saying he is the Best, but I think it's funny when people call him over-rated. I agree i would love to see him train with a bigger camp. I don't think we have seen the last of brock being the champ.

I do have the same thought...but in that time i see there being a rotating door of champs...JDS followed by Carwin and then reclaimed by Brock within a years time...and no im NOT a Lesnar fan...its just what i think will happen...but this is pure speculation, hell its fun to think these things up its part of being a true MMA fan

Not sure who would win between JDS and Cain, but I think it would be a lot better match up than Brock vs. Cain.
I also agree that I dont think we've seen the last of Brock, I just hope he makes the comittment. he's some raw talent, now he just needs someone to train him in out to put it to use most effectively.
