I may be lots of things, but I dont consider myself to be a physical coward. Just like being an internet tough guy, such accusations are easy to make and dont mean much. I havent talked about my ability to fight any person on this board - just a bunch of clueless martial arts who train at my local sport centre.

I am now only going to talk about known facts or things that we have enough evidence to judge as fact.

The fact that Brock Lesner is the champion of UFC means it is not a serious sport.

Now, UFC want this guy, because a lot of their fanbase are WWF/WWE fans - someone posted PPV fights showing that Lesner promotions were the only ones that UFC could sell.

They wanted this guy in as champ. They know he cant stay there because someone with credibility will have to fight him and make a fool of him sooner or later, but they ant to milk it as much as they can.

After being beaten by a fringe contender they gave the title to a 46 year old light heavy so that Lesner could beat him and take it.

Lesner stomps about, making the same silly promo's he did in WWE

Lesner is, in my opinion, someone who has built his bulk up by juicing (he may be clean now, but the best explanation of the gap between his supposedly great college career and playing pro sport was to get the steroids out of his system in my opinion)

Quite frankly, after winning 3 fights, the fact that a WWF world champion is now the champion of MMA really says everything.

I think some of the zealous fans would still not suspect a thing is Fedor "pulls out" and The Undertaker takes on Lesner for the title and buries him.

Yes - there is corruption in boxing, yes there are fair fights in MMA - but seriosly, come on, the Champion of UFC (and the Heavyweight Champion IS the greatest champion in any combat sport) is an actor! Who was handed the title after beaten (1) a nobody (2) a fringe contender who had already beaten him (3) a middle aged man who's natural weight is 178 lbs.

How can you take this seriously?
