Baddest Man On The Planet?

I think that Brock Lesnar needed a convincing win on Saturday, and he delivered just that. Lesnar’s faced a lot of doubters and cynics since he’s made the jump to MMA, but there’s no denying his place among the heavyweight elite after the mauling that he gave to Frank Mir at UFC 100. Aside from a brief flurry that ended with a solid knee early in the second round, Mir got virtually no offense in against Brock, who controlled him on the ground and repeatedly ravaged him with blows to the face. Simply put, the dude is a monster, and I don’t know if there’s anyone in the UFC’s heavyweight division that can realistically contend with him right now. Dana clearly realizes this, as he’s already talking about bringing Fedor in to face Brock. Lesnar's the #2 heavyweight in the world if you ask me, and considering that Fedor is tops and that Brock is only 5 fights into his MMA career, the former "Next Big Thing" is doing about as well as humanly possible at this point.
