To be a champion you need to earn the right to call yourself the best of the best.
I dont all winning 3 or 4 fights sufficient in that.
Tennis and Golf are different sports. In a tournament its 1 against 128 or more... in MMA its 1 against 1. Lesner has beaten 2 contenders and 2 journeymen (and been beaten once himself). Does this give him the right to say he is at the pinnacle of his sport? Doe beating two serious fighters really give him the right to claim he is the best in the world? Come on!

Lets talk about his fitness... I dont deny he is strong and I expect all his training is in strength. When has he gone 10 rounds, 12 rounds, even 6 rounds??? not once in his MMA career. This is a guy who has never win or lose gone past Round 3... that raises a huge concern for me, as does his weight and body mass. If Fedor just blocks and clinches and carries this guy I could see Lesner collapsing of exhaustion before the end of the fight, seriously.
