Furthermore, Lesnar has been removed from legitimate wrestling for almost 10 years. Granted he's been pumping steroids and 'wrestling' but hasn't been in a legitimate competitive sporting outing save a summer trial with the Vikings.

Yes he's been removed from that scene for awhile, but I wouldn't discount the guys athletic ability just yet. I was correcting you in that the guy doesn't know how to really wrestle. He's a legit athlete. In fact, even if he loses tomorrow night,,,,I'll say that he's still more of a legit athlete than most guys that have gone into the octagon. Don't let his days in the WWE fool you into thinking he's not an athlete.
I think he's picked a very dangerous first UFC fight with a grappling and submissions expert in Mir...not sure that was a very smart first move on his part.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
