i've always said i thought Matt and Brock were alike and now Matt says it too. i don't know why so many guys here don't like Brock? maybe his personality? i've always looked at him as a young HW Matt Hughes. both came from farm life, still live on farms, both are decorated collegiate wrestlers, both use takedowns and GnP. both have been accused of being arrogant or cocky. oh well, Brock will get the submission game going and we'll see where that takes him?

I think most people still don't like the fact that a WWE guy came in a won the title. Hopefully people can get over that and see him for the fighter that he is now.

that's the thing, he's not just a WWE guy. he was an NCAA DIV I HW wrestling champ long before. the WWE offered him 250,000 dollars and that was more than he could make coaching wrestling, so he took it. i believe his exact words were, "i didn't have a pot to piss in."

he still has a lot of work but with wrestling as his base, he can dominate (as long as he stays away from Fedor) while he fine tunes other areas. just as Matt did early on in his career.
