What I respect most about Brock is that he was fearless

he didnt care that he had little to no experience he wanted to fight the best. He was so far behind these other hws as far as skill was concerned but he made the most of what his physical gifts were and as humanly far as they would take him. Is he a top 20 hw all time? Probably not but I will always respect that guy. He could have stayed home and counted his millions but he wanted to test himself and that is tremendous.
 
You'd be fearless too if you had the genetics of a silverback gorilla

I miss Brock and he was a special beast.
 
he figured out "fake punches" pay more than real punches
 
Brock was a very skilled wrestler though, that always gets underplayed.
And his MMA top game turned out very solid too.
He was a freak but he didn't win being a freak alone.

I don't know man, he seemed afraid of Cain. I was super disappointed with that one.
 
I miss watching him compete, it was always a show when Lesnar fought.

nah Brock showed up to fight he rushed him like a bull to start but in the end he didnt like to get hit in the face (doesnt make him not fearless just made him inexperienced) and the much better fighter won like what happens on most nights in the octagon.
 
He didn't look so fearless the first time he got punched in the face.
 
People hated back then and miss him right now. The same people hate McGregor now but will miss him later on. No need to get butthurt either side, just enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.
 
TS racking up the shit threads today, eh ?
 
Never cared that he lost. Always entertaining.
 
What I remember is he didn't like getting hit in the face.
 
Sure he couldn't take a shot but he was very brave and fearless.

He always fought whoever they put in-front of him, no questions asked.

People overlook the medical condition he had but that genuinely made a dent in his psyche. He is a big family man, it's all he lives for. Very private and they're everything for him. A lack of experience compounded by the fact he could now genuinely get hurt further (in the cage, training) put more doubt in his mind.

He still went for it though. Didn't shy away from Velasquez or Overeem.

Agreed. He caught unreasonable hate because of WWE.

HW was the most exciting it ever has been while he was fighting. Now HW is a dead fish. Love him or hate him he sold the fights. No one else in that division is doing that.
