of Lesnar so without him we? will not watch anymore. Who can take Lesnar's place? Velazques? Mir? Kongo? They can't sell 1 million PPV's, are boring, and have no character.

no the newbies who came to MMA only because of Lesnar will leave, which will lead to more useful conversations about actual MMA fighters and technique..(hopefully on a seperate MMA category). the UFC has had a few PPVs that have topped 1 million viewers before Lesnar and they will again..but I hope it will have nothing to do with Kimbo either

the UFC will be just fine without Lesnar it just has to worry bout Dream and Strikeforce.

what?...the UFC was main-stream material even before Lesnar became WWE champion...

now putting that sports entertainment aside, as long as Dana White is running the show, he'll give the 'true' mma fans what they want as far as who should fight who. the way i see it, the ufc would do with or without lesnar. the ufc is the reason why lesnar has had a chance to bask under the mixed martial arts limelight. w/o the ufc, lesnar would just be another character...another wrestler turned mma. so would the ufc survive w/o lesnar? definitely. they're prepared more than ever to move on to bigger and better things if lesnar can't fight any more. trust me. dana has always had another trick up his sleeve just in plan A doesn't work according to what he sees fit.

I don't think anyone really cares about Brock, period. The number 1 HW is Fedor.

I can think of at least 25 other fighters I'd rather see than Brock Lesnar.

Of course, Lesnar just popped onto the scene within the last year. The UFC will continue to thrive, but I hope Lesnar gets well soon.

Dude the UFC was booming before Lesnar came along. They would be just fine without him. If you watch UFC only because of Lesnar then you are a fucking poser, real MMA fans watch bouts regardless of who's fighting. He's not even an exciting fighter to watch. Lay and pray, that's basically what he does. Except against Couture because nobody can keep Couture on his back.

uhh Lesnar didn't make MMA what it is today. He has a little tiny idiotic cult following. MMA and the UFC will survive and be better off without him. There are plenty of exciting fights and characters in the UFC that aren't complete douchebags like Lesnar.

lol. Brock Lesnar is a big payday for the UFC. But the UFC would manage just fine without him. Actually I would pefer if he was gone. MMA is about class, not about getting in the face of an opponent who hardly knows where he is. If you call that character you need to go back to WWE.

People hate lesnar (not me) because he came from the WWE and is now champ.

its easy for people to talk shit over the internet but lets face facts lesnar would murder anyone of us on mma boards. excuses like hes just big thats all dont cut it. if peyton manning wasnt 6-5 would he be in the NFL ummm no if lebron james wasnt a genetic freak who looks 50 who he be in the NBA ummm no

there goes that theory out the window
