So UFC superstar Brock Lesnar’s debut coaching stint on “The Ultimate Fighter” has so far been a failure. From what ESPN The Magazine tells us, he won’t have trouble drying his eyes.
Just search for the nearest crisp, new Benjamin lying about.
The former UFC Heavyweight Champion went 1-1 in 2010 and lost the championship he’d defended twice successfully. Still, pocketing a reported cool $5,300,000 have to make really the consolation prize. Lesnar also joined Mike Tyson as the only two one-million-buys pay per view draws over a single year for his title defenses against Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez. Tyson eclipsed one-million buys 3 times in 1996, with fights against Bruce Seldon, Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield.
Success within the ring as a fighter apparently does not translate directly to reality Television success.
Lesnar is competing inside the present season of “The Ultimate Fighter” (the 13th for the show), which functions unknown, skilled MMA fighters living together in Las Vegas. The show follows them as they train and compete for a coveted contract with the UFC.
Whilst the Spike Television show is well-liked with audiences (such as Yidio users) along with a success inside the ratings, the sport’s greatest draw (Lesnar) has been much less than profitable with his team on the show. Lesnar’s existing crop of could-be UFC welterweights could land him a seat amidst fellow coaching flops Ken Shamrock and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
