OK. I am a big fan of Brock Lesnar. I think he is exciting to watch, I think he has huge potential and for the size of the guy, I think his speed is just crazy. Saying that though I think the fact that he is getting a title shot with a 1-1 record in the UFC is an abomination. I don't care if he can (and may do) win against Couture. He needs to pay his dues first and climb the ladder like everyone else has. After a year or two of doing this and building him up - then give him his shot. This is a slap in the face to the heavyweight division and is being done for the big PPV buys that will happen. This will certainly be one of the highest buyrates for a PPV for sure - but in the long run it is hurting the heavyweight division.
Nog and Mir have been downgraded to a number one contenders match. That's bullshit.
I'm pissed of at Dana White for going for the big payday and not thinking about the division he should be respecting and building.
