There really isn't. I always had high hopes for Lesnar. Lesnar may have been new to UFC, but he was not new to combat sports and actually took it serious from when he wrestled in high school and college.
Kimbo on the other hand was a circus sideshow attraction who built a reputation fighting guys in parking lots and backyards that would never have been allowed into a real ring to fight even the worst UFC fighter. Hell, I have no doubt that even I could have kicked some of those out of shape asses.
I could see big deficiencies in Kimbo's style from the first moment he stepped into the octagon. What happened with him with Seth was exactly what I had envisioned happing to him. The guy fought with his hands up four inches away from the sides of his face and his chin hanging way out there. I knew that sooner or later he was going to walk into one and fold quicker than a chinaman doing laundry.
