As for Lesnar, no question he is a formidable athlete and has improved...but he will now be pushed (whether on his own accord or to White's) as the superstar of the UFC. For all of his athleticism...i just don't see him having the mental game or the solid foundation of years of all around MMA skills to become a truly great fighter. Bottom line for me....the best fighter in the world remains Fedor...so until someone beats him from the UFC...Dana and Lesnar can talk all they want.
Two questions for you:

1. What will you say when Brock beats Mir or Nogeira?
2. What will you say when Randy beasts one or two more younger (everyone will be younger) "established" fighters?

Let me answer for you . . .you will say Randy is for real and Brock is better than you thought . . .he's for real too.
