Brock Lesnar had star power.
Lesnar was a force of nature on the mats but he was also a force of nature in terms of publicity. Did you not see the slew of “#BrockisBack” tweets? And what of “Brocktober” last year?
The UFC promoted Lesnar very successfully because whenever he was fighting the sports world felt that it really meant something, that it was a monumental occasion in sports.
Does the UFC have a fighter like that now? Does the division lack a truly marketable star now?
Such questions are for you to decide.
Make your case in the comments below as to what Lesnar’s retirement does to the UFC and their heavyweight division.
Does Lesnar leaving give the company and division more credibility? Or does the Brock bubble bursting hurt the UFC’s expansion efforts?
