Lesnar is my online combat sports entertainment barometer..as soon as some đŸ¤¡ opines something nonsensical, they’re chucked straight into the mute/block bin đŸ¤£

Maybe start with the UFC fighters who never actually got into the cage to have their first title defense as worst champs, but that requires a knowledge of the sport that predates the last 18 months and or not regurgitating opinions you heard somewhere else. Would be curious to see this offending tweet to see what other trash opinions were being presented though

also, Rossen needs to update that "Philadelphia" in his ESPN article to "Pittsburgh" https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/two-pittsburgh-tough-guys-made-mma-safe-for-everyone-but-themselves

I think the Carwin fight and even the Overeem fight showed that Lesnar couldn’t really take a punch and that his conditioning could be a bit suspect. But he was a bad, bad man.

Those were both post-Diverticulitis.

I'm also not sure that the Carwin fight showed Lesnar couldn't take a punch considering he took about a million punches and still won the bout.

Carwin completely gassed out, if memory serves.

Some might call that "punching himself out"

One guy tapped out. His name was Shane Carwin.

I think I mixed up Kimbo/Shamrock here. Keep up the great work!
