There is no doubt that Brock Lesnar is a bad man...
But, at his most basic, he's still learning the craft that is Mixed Martial Arts...
He had only fought six times going into the fight at the Honda Center last night against Cain Velasquez...
But Velasquez, for those of you who dig those "Sport Science" features on the four-letter, know that he can hit at the top end of the power scale with his right hand ((over 2200 lbs of force)) and he can spear someone to the floor with the power of Dwight Freeney.
This was a three-minute beatdown once Velasquez got on top of Lesnar...
Here's your fight... and act surprised as much as we did...
Until it gets pulled...
The HQ still doesn't necessarily get UFC, but it's a helluva lot better than boxing these days...
But, then after the fight, there was this exchange...
((HT: Fanhouse))
At least the HQ also knows that 'Taker won't ever go in there...
Too much common sense...

Lesnar Survives Carwin Early, Takes UFC Title
((HT: ESPN/UFC))
Brock Lesnar was out of UFC for quite a while- almost a year- after it was disclosed that he was fighting diverticulitis and was hospitalized when it was disclosed.
Saturday night, he was back in the octagon taking on undefeated Shane Carwin.
Carwin came out strongly and pounded Lesnar for a great deal of the first round. But the second round was the challengers as he forced Carwin to submit with a triangle-choke hold.
In his old business, Lesnar had Carwin in a Japanese sleeper hold ((thanks to the Masked Superstar's training overseas for that reminder)) and the champ tapped.
"This isn't about me tonight," said Lesnar, who made his first appearance in nearly a year. "This is about my family. This is about my doctors. This is about my training partners, my training staff. I am blessed by God. Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you a humble champion. And I'm still the toughest SOB around, baby."

MMA's Lesnar In Hospital
((HT: CP))
Brock Lesnar, ex pro wrestler and current MMA'er, is in a really bad way according to his boss UFC head Dana White...
"He's in rough shape, he's in really bad shape," White said Saturday after UFC 105.
"He is not well and he is not getting any better. . . . He's very, very sick and he's going to be out for a while. He's got a lot of problems."
UFC sited Lesnar's bout with mono as the reason for pulling out of UFC 106 on November 21st. The match with Shane Carwin was pushed back to UFC 108, but that match was pushed back even further.
"He's got mono and he's got something else wrong with him. I know what's wrong with him, he just doesn't want me talking about it," White said.
Those of us at OSG HQ send our best to Lesnar and his wife, Rena, and wait to hear the diagnosis from hospital...
Here's one of Lesnar's brighter moments in sports entertainment...
His last match in his first round at professional wrestling during the 20th renewal of their annual spectacular...
The chants of the MSG crowd are priceless...

Lesnar Becomes Undisputed Champ
((HT: ESPN/Sherdog-Joe Hall))
Brock Lesnar learns quickly.
Just 17 months after losing to Frank Mir via submission in his UFC debut, Lesnar avenged the defeat and unified the UFC heavyweight title Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Mir had won their first encounter with a kneebar, and he tried another one in the opening minute of the rematch.
The attempt was thwarted by Lesnar, who then spent much of the round smothering Mir from half guard and pounding on him.
Brock Lesnar retained his UFC heavyweight title in dominating fashion and avenged his only loss with a dominating second-round stoppage of Frank Mir at Las Vegas. The former collegiate wrestling champion easily threw his more experienced opponent to the ground early in each of the two rounds and rained punches to the head of his overmatched foe. In the second round, the blows were too overwhelming, and referee Herb Dean had to step in to rescue the semiconscious Mir. Lesnar improved to 4-1, while Mir dropped to 12-4. Lesnar used his superior size and strength to keep Mir pinned to the mat in each of the two rounds. The UFC heavyweight champion was able to land numerous hard punches on Mir and opened up an assortment of cuts and bruises on his archrival, who had submitted Lesnar in his first UFC bout nearly 18 months ago.
Mir wore a smile out for the second period, though. He clipped Lesnar with a short left hand and followed with a knee and a jumping knee. It was his best and only offense. What happened next was especially violent.
Lesnar took Mir down, pinned him against the cage and pummeled his face until referee Herb Dean shoved his way in to stop the fight at 1 minute, 48 seconds.
Mir was clearly hurt. Lesnar taunted him, which brought booing while Joe Rogan interviewed Lesnar after the fight.
"I love it!" Lesnar screamed back at his detractors. "Keep going, keep going!"
The massive heavyweight extracted his mouthpiece.
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his a--," Lesnar said. "I told him that a year ago. I pulled the sum b---- out and beat him over the head with it."
Mir was understandably less enthusiastic in defeat.
"He did a good job. He neutralized the stand-up," Mir said. "I got against the cage and made a dumb mistake. I let a guy that big and strong catch my wrist, and I guess I still got more stuff to work on."
Here's your post from high above the Mandalay Bay, thanks to the four-letter...
Lesnar actually apologized for his post-fight outburst in the ring afterwards:
Here it is, thanks to our friends at Yahoo!Sports...
"I acted very unprofessionally after the fight," Lesnar said of his second-round victory. "There was a lot of emotion in this bout, [but] I love this company, and I love to fight. I went into the entertainment business for a little while, and I guess there's still a little bit of it in me."
