Brock Lesnar just so happens to be one of those types of athletes that no matter what he says or what he does, the fans (for one reason or another) just can't seem to get enough of him (just ask Frank Mir). Not that it’s all positive, of course. For as many fans that seem to love Brock Lesnar (oh yes fight fans...they definitely exist), just as many, if not more, seem to really despise who he is as a person, and what they perceive he represents. Oh well...love him or hate him, the reality is that ...

   The card for the upcoming Strikeforce event in Nashville has been filled. Conspicuous in his absence from the roster is WWE Superstar turned fighter Bobby Lashley, who was originally planned for the promotion’s return to CBS.
