To be a little fair to Brock, though he doesn't deserve it, he was a tremendous collegiate wrestler, 2 time national Div 1 champ and 2 time All American. Dana White said it was the only reason he got the shot like he did. Based on how he came out on Velasquez so quick I think he thought it would be another opponent he could quickly "bully" in to submission. But Velasquez was the same caliber wrestler (2 time All American) as Brock, who has been training MMA for a long time, not just "hey I am tired of WWE and I didn't make the Minnesota Vikings so I think I will go fight MMA" <----my interpretation of Brock
And Jerry with the ego on him, I have to wonder how much more we will see from him, really at 5-2, how much more attention does he deserve? And you are right, the look on him after his initial barrage with no success and Cain started chasing him and popping him.....worth every penny to see that fight! And really don't know how surprised we should be as Fedor (though he recently lost) was a heavy weight like that, not to physically opposing, but could really hit freak hard and just get in there on larger opponents. (If you haven't seen theses Google them....Fedor vs Silva and Fedor vs Orlavski <--watch the most recent. Good stuff.
