It is pretty pathetic that Brock had 4 fights and became the champ. 😕 Brock has zero ground game in terms of submissions and defense, so anyone who has a great ground game should submit him, like Mir did in the 1st fight.

I dunno, I'd say being a D1 NCAA national champion and beating Randy Couture give the guy a bit of credibility.

It's not as if he isn't constantly training and getting better. If he fought Mir again it would probably be a different story.

He will fight Mir again, they are co-champions. And he still can't do anything on the ground. Plus Mir's stand up game was phenomenal in his last fight.

He should of had to spend more time in the UFC and work his way up just like every other fighter, PERIOD.

I don't disagree, but it comes down to $$$$. He sells.

Yes he is a great draw, and business wise the best move. I don't think Brock's star will stay bright for a long time.
