It’s a testament to Brock Lesnar’s greatness that anybody even still wanted the guy. That’s not an insult; it’s a compliment. At 37 years old and on the heels of two bouts with a life-threatening disease, most professional athletes would be considered lost property.

There were times when it seemed like nobody wanted to be there. Ryan Bader succeeded only in spurts, Ovince Saint Preux finished looking lost and tired, and as the clock crept past 1 a.m. local time in Bangor, Maine, many spectators began to openly wonder if the UFC Fight Night 47 main event really needed five […]
