UFC is more about having entertaining fights than always winning.. Every fighter loses sometimes.. I mean, one fighter loses every fight.. It goes with the territory of fighting.. I am sure Lesnar will win a bunch of fights in UFC but it was a stretch to think he'd come in, in only his second MMA fight ever and beat a former HVW champ.. He looked really good against him and that's all that matters..
Go back and read what I actually said. Don't just assume.

I never suggested his career is over. He will likely have a very successful career. Any fighter who is more bothered about being entertaining than winning in a combat sport need to reassess their priorities. Lesnar isn't there to excite everyone en route to losing. He's there to make money and win championships, things that can only be achieved by winning. And for the UFC promotional machine to get behind him, he needs to be winning the important fights. His debut was an important fight for him, but can be forgiven... as you say, it's inexperience. But it can't be the start of a trend if he is to become a real legit name in MMA.
