Brock of a statement

Og Mandino once wrote "Failure will never overtake you if your determination to succeed is strong enough."

During the last UFC pay per view event the world saw the coronation of the Baddest Man on Earth. This was when Brock Lesnar submitted the interim champion Shane Carwin to defend his belt. Where am I going with this? Well see here, a lot of people didn't give Brock any credit when he tried to test the waters in a real fighting match. But after every match that he has been a part of, his skill set has improved dramatically. And last Saturday/Sunday (depending on where you were watching) the world saw a versatile Brock Lesnar, a Brock Lesnar who wants to prove something.

The world saw how Brock weathered the early onslaught from the deadly hands of Carwin and came back to not only beat Carwin but make him tapout! After the match, there are still quite a few journalists and sports analysts who still criticized him that he is not that dominant after all. If he is not that dominant then why is he still the champion? Brock showed that he may be new at this sport called mixed martial arts but his heart and determination are his keys to victory.

Brock knows that the criticisms won't stop and he is alright with that because he is using their criticism, their doubt on his skill set to further mature and improve. He is using this as the fuel for the Lesnar Express. He simply will not back down and will not die.
