Brock Lesnar lost his first UFC fight in 90 seconds, got fast-tracked to a title shot because of his pro wrestling fame, beat a man he outweighed by 50 pounds to win the title, then crumpled when someone finally hit him in the face and lost his title to Cain Velasquez.
However, UFC President Dana White was asked recently to name the most underrated fighter, and Lesnar was the man he picked.
“I don’t think people give him enough credit for how good he really is and what he has accomplished,” White said.
Lesnar is, after all, one of the two or three best heavyweights in the sport, and yet in the months since Lesnar’s loss to Velasquez, there has been a steady stream of fans who question whether he even belongs in the cage at all.
In three months, he’ll get a chance to prove against Junior dos Santos that all the people who questioned his abilities inside the cage have been underrating him.
