Brock Lesnar: Why Is Everyone So Impressed?

Brock Lesnar has a lot of potential.  He can out-wrestle everyone in MMA.  At the same time he is very full of himself, and he honestly believes that he is unstoppable.

No doubt Lesnar believes that Mir won by a total fluke.  The fact that Mir had set him up for that leg lock has no effect on the way he feels, or on anyone else that is on his bandwagon.

They use the excuse that if Brock were allowed to hit Mir in the back of the head then it wouldn't have been that way.  Accident or not, a strike to the back of the head is an illegal blow.

There honestly shouldn't have been a deduction, since the strike was circumstantial, but the point had no impact on the fight since Lesnar couldn't even make it out of the first round.

Lesnar beat Heath Herring. It's impressive for a rookie to beat a veteran.  But he couldn't finish Herring.  Lesnar had Herring hurt from the beginning of the fight, and couldn't put together a finish. 

Let some of the other wrestlers that actually have experience get someone in a situation like that. Even Koscheck would have finished the fight.

What it all boils down to is Brock Lesnar is no more than an overgrown Sean Sherk, and once someone with technical ability gets hold of him he will be embarrassed the same way. 

Randy Couture can beat Lesnar.  So can Arlovski, Barnett, Big Nog, Mir, Werdum, and Fedor.  I also believe that Cro-Cop, Gonzaga, and Sylvia could beat him if not give him a run for his money.

Heath Herring has even asked Dana for a rematch.  He didn't know what exactly to expect from Lesnar, and the fact that he has a big right hand doesn't make him a real threat in a stand-up fight.

Not to mention that his overall attitude sucks.  I watched Lesnar and Herring again. Lesnar shoved Herring at the end of the first round, acting like a cowboy. This could have been a huge mistake if he had tried it earlier in the match because it gave up his position. He pointed while laughing in Herring's face.

Lesnar is nothing more than an over-age bully that hasn't yet graduated mentally past the fifth grade.
