He is a very marketable person and the heavyweight division (though much improved) is still not quite as deep as the others so he is gettin a shot. If he wins he proves he was worthy all along. And on the Lesnar gassing thing he was a college wrestler and never gassed and he also made it through the Minnesota Vikings summer camp so I dont think he has ever had a conditioning problem. He also said he was ready for more rounds after going the distance with Herring.

I think Lesnar's total fight record is 2-1-0.......
That is one of the points that I was trying to make.....Lesnar is still a rookie making rookie mistakes so when does that qualify you for a title shot? he has 2 fights in the UFC and approx 3 fights his whole career; while fighters like Gonzaga, Werdum, Nogeuira, Mir, Kongo, etc have way more fights and wins in their career. The reason why Lesnar dominated in his fights was because he was not tested. I mean come on he fought crazy horse Crazyhorse!?!?!? And for those who try to site Anderson Silva as an example of getting only 2 UFC fights before a title shot, I recommend you look at his career; for he had been fighting in Pride, KOK, and other organizations way before he came to the UFC. Lesnar on the other hand only had 1 fight outside of the UFC, which was in K-1 (so in my mind there is no comparison). Anderson Silva actually knocked out his UFC opponents (finishes them) in his fights, while Lesnar has not. It is one thing to dominate a fight but if you can't finish your opponent by knockout or submission it shows that there is much to be improved.
I'll give Lesnar credit in terms of prospects; he has a big future in the UFC although I think it is way too early for him to receive a title shot. At this point Lesnar has size and strength but no technique (and we see where that got him in his Mir fight). And I think it is telling that he won a decision against Crazyhorse instead of finishing him by knockout.
At this point I think that Lesnars WWE name carries more weight than his actual fighting skill; he still has a lot of holes in him game that really need tightening up (still a rookie).
Lesnar vs Coture:
I think in order for him to win the fight he is going to have to use his size and strength advantage over Coture. I mean he should stick to ground and pound and the clinch. Lenars striking ability is not really up to par with Randy's yet and if he stands with him his chin will get tested. I think Randy's disadvantage is his mental game (his supposed fight with Fedor, court cases with the UFC, the other bullshit with that tool Dana White, etc). I think if Randy is more focused on Fedor and his court cases than he is sure to lose, but if he is solely focused on Lesnar and the holes in his game he will win in a dominating fashion.
All in all...........I guess this is truly going to be a test to see what Lesnar is made of.
