So here's my take on Lesnar. He was
dominant however he absolutely wasted many an opportunity to apply a submission or attempt to get some hooks in. He simply played a smothering game which he knew would win the decision but, if that's a sign of a weakness, than he knows what to focus on in camp, which is sumbissions.
His antics at the end were somewhat disgraceful and makes me wonder if UFC isn't grooming him as the
heavyweight monster in sort of a heel role. If they can accomplish that, ie. bring a tiny tiny bit of WWE in while WWE fails to bring a tiny bit of UFC into their game, it could be huge for ratings, merchandising, and growth of the company. It certainly is a gamble in MMA as tides can turn and results can throw wrenches but if done right it could be an era of good v. evil in the UFC heavyweight division which would be awfully cool.
Me and a friend are going to the WEC event on Sept. 10 and am very excited to see the matches and go to a casino for the first time in a long time.
