Just the little article annoys the hell out of me. Someone with one MMA fight acting as if they truly belong, love the third-person usage. Hope Dana loves the arrogance, personally I hope someone shuts him up hard and ruins Dana's investment.

Too late. Tito Ortiz has been the TO of MMA for alot longer.

Oh yeah, haha how about the battle of the egos: Ortiz v. Lesnar, they will need to find an outdoor stadium and increase the cage area to fit them in.

I didn't read anything in that article that was really irritating. He did speak of himself in the third person once but...

He tears down K-1 after fighting once, even though many might consider K-1 very strong.
He needs to get a few skins on the wall before spouting off.

I'm with you buddy. I hope he gets shut up too.

He didn't really seem arrogant to me in that interview. He wants to know who his opponent will be, with only a few months before his debut he would like to be able to train for a specific opponent. He also said he is going to take it one fight at a time and go from there, seems pretty humble to me for a former WWE wrestler.

Ninjamonkey · 10-30-2007, 10:59 AM

He came off a little arrogant, but not too bad I think. K-1 is an overseas organization so I'm sure the company is run differently than an American one is. Lesnar might not be used to the way organizations are run overseas so he might have thought that they weren't "professional".

Also, Lesnar is in the UFC now, of course he is going to try and endorse the company as being superior to the other products on the market. That is just part of the game.

I'm with you buddy. I didn't see anything that I would call arrogant.

And stop comparing Tito to T.O.. T.O. can back-up his big mouth, and Tito can't...

There's nothing wrong with confidence bordering on arrogance, but...Brock Lesnar just annoys the hell right out of me. Granted he has a decent background in wrestling, but it remains to be seen wether he can take a straight shot to the chin.

So we should hate on the guy until someone punches him in the jaw?

T-Bone · 10-30-2007, 11:40 AM

Seriously...T.O. does back it up.

I don't know...this Lesnar thing just stinks of "entertainment value" rather than skill. Maybe Dana will take on Vince McMahon in an upcoming UFC.

No, no, not at all...but how confident can one person be without knowing wether they have a glass jaw or not? Also, i wasn't "hating" on anyone.

In this sport, you have to be confident, or you'll get your head kicked in.

Brock Lesnar has wrestling skills greater than another other collegiate wrestler in the UFC.

His skill level to fight should not be questioned. But rather his lack of experience, which some fighters aren't hindered by.

Fair enough. I just don't wanna see this lead to a WWE invasion.

Cuts O Meat · 10-30-2007, 02:15 PM

Hey, if those WWE boys think they can hang with the UFC boys, then why not bring them into the UFC. If they can actually beat top level UFC heavy weights then I think they have every right to be in the UFC. However we all know that the majority of the WWE boys are just 'riod pumped scallywags, who wouldn't take a put cut to then take a beating.

I don't want to see that either. I hope Brock gets his a$$ kicked, KO'ed, submitted, and put to sleep in the cage. This is going to turn into a freak show. Why would Dana sign a former wrestler into the UFC? These freaks are going to bring their fake drama acting crap to the cage and make MMA look like a joke.

Someone PLEASE shut Brock's pie hole!!!

Lesnar is very different from the majority of pro wrestlers. The difference being: he was actually a very good amateur wrestler or "real" wrestler. His wrestling pedigree is better than most other MMA fighters. Lesnar has a very good base to build off, and has potential to be a good MMA fighter.

Wow...such paranoia.

If they want to come in and attempt, let them.

As long as their pay reflects their performance.

Though really, who WOULD want to leave a verry lucrative acting career in exchange for repeated ass whoopings?

Believe it or not, some professional wrestlers have better work ethics than some MMA guys.
They have to perform hundreds of times a year.
UFC fighters have MAYBE four fights a year.

Lesnar has more REAL wrestling accolades than anyone in the UFC.
If he finds some good trainers, he can be just as big or bigger than anyone in the HW division.
