1. Would he be the gate/PPV attraction he is today?
2. Would he be more respected and have more fans?
I've never seen a guy get more hate than Brock Lesnar.
Is it because some MMA fans feel it makes a mockery out of MMA how a pro wrestler can come in and dominate?
People forget Brock was the greatest college wrestler on the planet for a couple of years.
Same as if someone like Kurt Angle ever did MMA.. dude won an Olympic Gold Medal.. u don't think he'd have his way with 80 percent of UFC LHW's?
People use to laugh and i guess it could be considered a little silly but when Brock first joined the UFC, people questioned his chin and I said anybody that can take repeated Chair shots like he did, has to have a good chin! LOL
also said how after main eventing Wrestlemania, he wouldn't have jitters. LOL!

1. No he wouldn't be the attraction he is today. Pro wrestling (the love and hate of it) has brought many fans to MMA to see Lesnar and follow his career.
2. He would be more respected, but would not have more fans. He has his wrestling fans with him now and that is a great many.
Brock Lesnar may be the best athlete in the UFC

U never saw Brock do that moonsault at WM? LOL!
Shane Carwin and Brock's NFL Combine numbers: HOLY SHIT@Brock's
Shane Carwin (at 6'0'', 257lbs) 40 Yard Dash: 4.93 seconds Vertical Jump: 30.5 inches Broad Jump: 8 foot 10 inches Bench Press: 29 reps of 225lbs
Brock Lesnar (at 6'4'', 296lbs) 40 Yard Dash: 4.65 seconds Vertical Jump: 35 inches Broad Jump: 10 foot Bench Press: 43 reps of 225lb
who in the UFC could outdo that?

So being strong and fast makes you an athlete? No it doesn't and that's all those numbers prove. Takes alot more to be an athlete. Alot of ppl are strong and fast but that doesn't make them an athlete.

No Joe you are right... being strong and fast doesn't make you an athlete, but being strong, fast, NCAA wrestling champion and UFC HW Champion makes a pretty good argument for being an athlete. It's official and I have figured it out... Joe hates Brock Lesnar
