Few thoughts on the whole Lesnar situation...
Am I the only one who thinks Lesnar could potentially be very bad for the UFC? I am not arguing the guys skill, and I understand that he is an emotional fighter. But the is completely out of touch with reality. He is quickly becoming the Mike Tyson of MMA, and it won't be long before there is an incident much like Tyson vs Holyfield. I mean do you really see any ref being able to pull Brock off a guy if he were to completly snap? The guy has been called an animal for most of his career, and the sick part is, is that he buying into his own hype. UFC has taken years to repair the damage done during the late 90's when MMA was deemed "human cock fighting." Athletic commionsions have be ify on MMA, and it won't take much for states commionsions to pull back from allowing UFC to be showcased.
And as far as the "Coors Light" comment goes. It took the UFC years to get sponsership from major companies like Bud Light. Ultimately, Bud Light did well before the UFC, and could stand to drop their sponsership over a comment like that. The UFC needs companies like Bud Light to endorse their product if they want to grow to a legitimate sport, and I am still curious to see if there will be any sort of backlash from the whole thing.
My thoughts are all kind of jumbled together right now, and I gotta get back to work.
So agree, disagree.
Discuss, Flame.
Have at it.
