10 Things We Learned From Brock Lesnar's UFC 200 Victory

10. Brock Lesnar Is An Excellent Student

One thing was abundantly clear throughout Brock Lesnar's UFC 200 co-main event fight against Mark Hunt: Lesnar is an excellent student. Across the entire span of the fight, you could see Lesnar listening intently to his corner, following their directions, and allowing himself to be coached to a successful UFC return years after he left the organization.

That's huge. It's obvious Lesnar had a game plan for Hunt, that he'd been preparing specifically for Hunt's style of fighting, and it's a great sign that even at 38 (nearly 39, as his birthday is July 12) years old, Lesnar still understands the importance of coaching.

Of course, he has told anyone who would listen how important the people around him, his team, are in this process. However, it's one thing to say it, and another to do it. Too often, fighters instantly go into attack mode in the octagon, and tune out the noise coming from their own corner, fighting instead on instinct. Lesnar avoided this pitfall, and it's part of the reason for his success.

From his head coach Marty Morgan to his Jiu-jitsu instructor Rodrigo Medeiros (who recently promoted Lesnar to blue belt status), all played a key role in getting Lesnar back to the winner's circle.

Said Brock after the fight: "I couldn't have done it without all the people that supported me. I stuck to the plan."
