I am a big Lesnar fan personally. I think he is great for the sport. I wish he would have gotten into it earlier, we might have seen the greatest to do it if he did. But still, he should have some solid years left in him. he just keeps getting better and better to. I can't wait to see how he looks against Cain.

Wasn't a fan for awhile because of how he acted at UFC 100, but hard not to like the guy after the resiliency he showed by weathering the Carwin storm.

Definitely like the guy. He's the epitome of entertainment.

Huge Lesnar fan.
Really is a shame that he got into the sport so late and then lost a year due to injury. Even with his short career, he will end up as one of the greatest HWs of all time. I mean if he keeps winning, his resume will be ridiculous, because there will be no easy fights.

Can't think of anyone that hates him. He proved himself against solid competition and he will further prove that he is the # 1 in his division if he beats Cain.

I have all the respect for him in the world as a a fighter and I think he's a great one. One of the few guys who's fights I must actually buy and enjoy on the big screen, because of the hype that surrounds them and also due to the fact that my friends who are just casual fans like to watch him as well. I had 15-20 people over for when he fought Carwin, whereas I'll be lucky if more than a few people want to get together to watch anyone else headline a card. All that said, I usually find myself rooting against him though lol.

I like Lesnar, spoke with him during his WWE days when I worked a great deal of the shows, so I have always respected him. I have no reason to feel any different since the man respected me as a person and was always very nice.

I always liked Brock cuz I watched him in the WWE. Personally I never thought he would turn out to be the fighter that he is today. But I could also see why some people don't like him.

I didn't like him until the Carwin fight. He showed a set of brass ones I didn't think he had.

There are probably 100,000 people on Sherdog who would be happy to change this.
That's part of the reason I'm a fan. There are people that absolutely despise him and predict him to be humiliated every fight. I love to see the confidence before the fight and then all the backtracking afterward.

Never really liked him, even in WWE days . Gained respect for him after Carwin fight though .

I thought he looked like **** during the carwin fight. turtling like that and almost getting the fight stopped numerous times. Still a tough hombre who I'll root for against Cain.

I want to hate him, I really do.
He seems to win and succeed at virtually everything he does and I have a hard time cheering for guys like that.
That said, with him being able to come back to be a fighter after his sickness,
as well as winning the UFC Heavyweight title after only a few fights, I have to respect him.
He's grown on me and now I am a fan.
I want him to murder Cain V.

Cant stand him, I have him next to Silva/Cerrone/Sonnen/Maynard as dudes I would like to see get smashed. Hope to see Cain deliver the beatdown, and become the 1st Chicano UFC champ. I see all those uncultured swine on Sherdog calling Cain racist, they dont understand the brownpride tatt is a Cali thing, doesnt mean he hates America.

I don't think it has anything to do with people being uncultured, they just like pointing out that nobody could get away with a "White Pride" tattoo.

Sure in So Cal its the norm, cats are you see alot of dudes with white pride or 100% Peckerwood. No bodies trippin. Now swazi's and 88 are different though.

Brock has taken over the Tito Ortiz role of UFC villian and he is doing it well. I like the guy because his fights are like events and you just feel like you are going to see something new and crazy everytime he fights. Brock is the only current fighter who's fights are more than just fights, they are events. Only he and Chuck have ever really had that.
Plenty of people dislike Brock and that is just how he and Dana want it.

I dont like Brock, but I respect him as a fighter.
Its got nothing to do with his WWE background, I have a soft spot for WWE even in my late 20's (I'll watch the odd PPV once a year, and if a show is on while I am chilling I'd leave it on). The guy isn't exactly easy to like as a person, when it comes to the sport - really in terms of humility. He is perfectly entitled to say that he'll smash everyone, and it looks like he will most the time, but I don't like to hear it all the time.
That said, I have alot of respect for him, and there are the more serious interviews he does where he comes off with that bit of pride/arrogance but in much more managable way.
With that said, it does not mean I'll always want to see him lose. Against Mir or Cain I'd want him to lose, however now against say Carwin I'd back Lesnar.

It is all an act. He is no more cocky or arrogant than any other elite athlete and you see that in his serious interviews. But, when the lights go up, he is a playing the part of the biggest and baddest dude on the block.

I wouldn't say that. The NFL career went nowhere and you could say that his WWE success had more to do with the people around him.
