Lesnar was supposed to fight someone else but they got hurt, can't remember off the top of my head. If you watch what Danna White has to say the reason Lesnar got a title fight was because he is the hot thing right now and has been destroying people with little to no experience, just imagine what he will do when he progresses. Brock draws a crowd like no other. Our local Buffalo Wild Wings here was packed at 630 waiting for this fight it started at 10pm here. No other fight has it ever been packed that early. Danna as a business man is capitalizing on the fact that Brock is going to make him millions!!! If you watch Randy Couture had a title fight with only I think 4 or 5 fights and he won the belt.
I hear a lot of people doubt Brock, but he just beat one of the best in the sport, a hall of fame MMA fighter. He also beat Heath Harring who has fought like 50 times. He also had Frank Mir on the ground and almost pounded out he just got excited and got caught, it happens. I am not going to say he is as experineced as the rest because he is not, but he trains hard and is an awesome athlete, those who doubt I think are going to be pretty surprised when he keeps beating his apponents
