It was bound to be made. We all know how we felt about "The Next Big Thing" before UFC 91. Some minds were changed and others remained the same. Lets find out, shall we?
What do you think of Brock Lesnar now?

Can I see him? Was he John Cena at some point, I don't understand the topic title...
Lesnar has now held gold in the UFC, and that's about all that's changed. I was already a big Lesnar fan from his wrestling days. So nothing lost and nothing gained, really.

After Brock's fight with Heath, he proclaimed very loudly to the crowd "Can You See Me Now?", in reference to many people writing him off as a former pro wrestler and nothing more.

Yeah, I can SEE him, but my feelings on him remain the same as last time.

As I thought he would be, Brock Lesnar has already cemented himself as one of the scariest fighters in the world.

he has looked exponetially better each time out, and this time was no different, regardless of whom he was fighting. i don't think the randy we saw was the same cpt. america we all remember and love, but that shouldn't take away from how good brock has gotten in such a short time. like the guy above said, with his size and agility, "he is one of the scariest fighters in the world." that doesn't mean minotauro can't or won't beat him, it just means he IS for real in the mma game whether people like it or not!

Damn straight I can see him. I don't know how you couldn't notice a guy his size....Seriously though, people need to get off his back and sit back and at least try to enjoy his new UFC Heavyweight title reign.
4 fights into his MMA career and he's already a major World champion. That's got to be a record of some kind for sure.
I mean, some guys fight for years and years and don't even come close to getting a crack at a belt, let alone holding it.
I'm glad Brock is the champ and it'll be interesting to see who's next in line...Mir or Nogueira..Only time will tell..

Brock is an animal and his potentional is amazing. He's getting better each fight, so it shows he's willing to learn.
Although no one can deny his talent, Brock has had some huge luck. You can't really comment on how he won the belt so early, as he was given a huge push because of his name. Nobody else would have been in his spot that early if they didn't have the name he did.

Lesnar is a beast no doubt. I saw him coming a long time ago when I heard he was first training for MMA. After watching his first fight against Min Soo Kim a year ago I saw a lot of potential and its no suprise to me as hard as he works that hes already captured the title. However, I'm sure most would agree his jump to a title shot was quite quick.

he impressed me with his showing against randy, but i know he's not half as much as he's hyped to be. put him against gonzaga and it would be an atleast better showing.

Won 4man tourney beating Halme & Graham, then beat Belfort for No.1 Contender spot & took strap from Mo Smith. Still very impressive though. I thought Randy would win & before the KO had Randy ahead, however Brock's power halted that in a second. His main strength apart from his sttength is takedowns & wrestling which will play straight into the game of the winner of Nog/Mir. That fight will tell us a lot about brock's submission defence which seems to be the obvious question mark next to brock |

I had Randy ahead in the Brock fight as well...he impressed me how he was able to neutralize Brock for the most part. But Brock proved to be too much for Randy. Those hammer fists were crazy, I didn't think Brock could move that fast.

At last someone agrees with me, I've never understood the hype for Gonzaga, outside the KO over Crocop (who let's face facts was not the same fighter inside the octagon) he hasn't done anything to impress me. |

Well, he's had a couple nice KO's, but nothing over anyone real spectacular, other than Cro Cop. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I saw Brock wrestle when he was in college, he impressed me then and I've been a fan ever since. I was a HWT wrestler in high school and I always paid attention to the HWT matches when we had the college duals in town. Brock was by far the most impressive HWT I'd seen in person.
I have never had a doubt in my mind about Brock since he moved to MMA, I think he's at home in MMA. He likes to pound, and he has the skill to control and take down. Now if only he can prove he's as good as he is by beating some other big names, he'll gain more respect from people.
I honestly thought Randy looked the best he's looked since he fought Tito. Though Brock was just too strong for Randy. Randy didn't fight his fights against Chuck when he got knocked out both times, and this time he tried to fight his fight, but couldn't. I knew that once they got out of the clinch and went toe to toe Couture would get knocked out.
As far as Gonzaga... I've never been impressed with the guy. I've honestly never been that impressed with Cro Cop either. Though both are good at what they do, I don't see either as top HWTs, but that's just my opinion.
