Adam Morgan over at Five Ounces of Pain has a notable quote from Jake O’Brien’s agent on a message board. Apparently O’Brien wants to take on newly signed WWE wrestler turned UFC fighter Brock Lesnar.
Jake O’Brien called begging for the fight. I had to remind him he just had titanium rods put in his neck and he is out for 6 more months at least. He forgot.
I honestly don’t care who fights Lesnar first, but if O’Brien gets first shot, he better not repeat his boring smotherfest during UFC Fight Night 8 last January. Laying on top of Heath Herring was not fun, exciting, or even legit MMA. It was Division 1-A wrestling on Spike TV. No thanks!
Not only will O’Brien not get this shot at Lesnar due to the rods in his neck, but the UFC won’t risk their newest star to someone who has slight chance of beating him. (Sorry evil FightLinker guys, Lesnar is the UFC’s newest financial breakout even if he is an evil American wrestler) Lesnar is worth a lot of money to Dana and Co. and they will let him rack up a few easy wins before handing him to the big dogs for a real fight. It’s the same thing they do to most other young MMA fighters and it’s completely logical from a business standpoint. So that brings us to the question: who should Lesnar fight first?
