So, this is the latest in my series of threads that encourage people to really look at a subject matter and get to grips on what they really think about something. The way it works is very simple. You state something that you like about the subject matter. It could be something as simple as how they look or how much they make you enjoy something. After that, you simply state something that you do not like about the subject matter. Again, it could be anything. After that, you, simply round it off with something positive.
Simple as that
The Next Big Thing is the next big thing to get the Compliment Sandwich treatment as I attempt to bring my love of MMA and this thread series together. Hopefully, it is something that you guys will like and I can perhaps try it again in a couple of weeks with another subject matter.
That being said, Brock Lesnar is easily my favourite MMA guy right now. Not only has he shown everyone that he has the desire and rive to be successful at whatever he does, he also manages to do that whilst being the most hated man in MMA. Yes, he was a professional wrestler but that has given him another dimension that a lot of the MMA guys in the UFC and Strikeforce do not have. The guy can talk, he can get you going and motivated for his fights like I have never seen before. Not only do I believe that, it is clear that Dana White subscribes to that view also. He brought Lesnar in because he saw something in him and he has been rewarded. He was a former Heavyweight Champion and I don't think anyone has managed to do that in such a short time, although I might be very wrong. Feel free to correct me if it was done faster. Nevertheless, it was supremely impressive.
My one criticism of Brock Lesnar is that he doesn't know enough right now to be take on the very best competitors in the UFC. When you look at what Cain Velasquez did to him, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Brock Lesnar has a lot of growing to do. Does he have a strong enough chin? Does he have enough experience inside the octagon to be able to hang with some of the top class guys in the division? Really, I think the answer to those questions are no but you also have to believe that it will all make sense to him in the future and he can have another run at the Championship.
Lesnar has been an utter phenomenon though. He was the reason that I started watching the UFC and MMA in the first place. Like many, I was drawn into the company by the thought of Brock Lesnar and it has fuelled my love for the sport ever since. He keeps learning and keeps driving forward. He was recently announced as the Ultimate Fighter coach for the upcoming season of the show and I will be watching that too. He is a personality that is very endearing to many and his fans will follow him to whatever pastures he travels to. The UFC have obtained an absolute gem of a persona and it is still paying off for them. He will coach The Ultimate Fighter and people will be baying for his fight when it rolls around. He makes people care about the UFC events and that cannot be underestimated.
