The more of these MMA threads you start it's increasingly obvious you know very little about the sport.

There's 5 words out of 200 about white athletes in the op.. Its totally about white athletes
To be fair Brock is an arrogant, show boating, asshat, but there are people saying he's a bad fighter after he was the first to take Carwin past round 1 and actually beat him. That's just not true.
I'm not typically the one to agree with d-USA , but you do realize that a disproportionate % of black athletes (and people in general) come from a vastly lower income level than your average white person, right?
Shane Carwin isn't a great fighter either. He's a good MMA striker. With no endurance.
Both are lucky they're not fighting dos santos or Velasquez or Cormier or Travis Browne or Fabricio Verdum or Stefan Struve.
I don't care look above to the topic, ( and carvin is a harder hitter than Velasquez on personal accounts)

The first mention of "white athletes" might have been a misconception.
I'm sure your second example of "white athlete" was a misconception as well .
And when you gave a third example of "white athlete"...I really misconceived that one...
But I'm just a dog...

Velasquez Knocked out Lesnar. Carwin didn't. So there's that.
But you know, if you want to avoid all the very relevant tangential topics to your OP go ahead. You'll look nice and foolish doing so, but you're welcomed to do it.

People hate him because the UFC is controlled by a bunch of old rich black people who conspire to keep the white man down, and you don't get whiter than Brock.

As someone has said earlier, Brock is the heels' heel. He has portrayed himself as such a universally disliked villain in his various entertainment careers and only truly die hard fans will say he's a good fighter and be okay with his attitude and personality.
BAM! On Topic, not sure what else there is to discuss though.

It indeed has. In my late teens Lesnar was a hero of mine because of his asshaterry and actually being a great athlete. He was so fun to watch though. I ignored how damn good dudes like Velasquez are when I started.
Let's all back off and let the thread die honorably...on the second page of the OT Forum.

To be fair Lesnar had the discipline and drive to do anything he wanted. He was a national champion wrestler, had an nfl tryout and by all accounts did pretty well, had a wildly successful WWF career and did pretty well for himself in an MMA ring as well. The problem was he ran his mouth at EVERY SINGLE opportunity to create ratings and draw. And that was fine for a whole but it eventually ground people down and caused dislike in even his fans.

He'd be a perfect match for the likes of Bismarck du Plessis And honestly, I don't think he's man enough. Hell, even the Rock said, "No" to playing rugby as an adult. (at least the Rock actually played in his younger years, so knows exactly what he's saying no to)

Two of these were correct usage by dictionary definition of objectivity, the other was my trying to attract people and was incorrect usage.
Objectively you're continuing after I pronounced the thread resolved
