Fighter Feature: Brock Lesnar

It’s no secret that I am not a fan of Brock Lesnar. I have openly criticized him as a fighter and have been against his possible induction into the Hall of Fame. That’s not to say I don’t respect him for his athletic talents or what he has done for the sport. WWE celebrity or not, Brock still brought the UFC into mainstream and holds notable wins Couture, Mir, and Carwin and held the most prestigious title in combat sports. While I hope that Brock’s MMA career is really over, I still appreciate what he did for the sport: he was the right personality that came along at the right time and propelled the young organization forward by leaps and bounds, and for that we thank him. He may not have been the best technically skilled fighter but he shared a title held by few: UFC Champion.
