1. A Fitting Farewell Post-Fight

If this is to be Brock Lesnar's final UFC fight - and it probably will, unless the WWE is feeling particularly charitable and Fedor Emelianenko finally signs with the company - then there needs to be a fitting farewell to one of the most riveting yet divisive fighters the sport has known.

Maybe it involves Lesnar saying a few words. Maybe it involves Paul Heyman, or Dana White, saying a few words. Hopefully, it involves a standing ovation. Because love him or hate him, Lesnar did a lot for the sport. Frankly, he doesn't get enough credit. Lesnar is a fighter who never said no to a fight, who reached the top of the sport extremely quickly, and who not only never turned down fights but willingly tough the hardest ones he could get. When he came back from his illness, he didn't take an easy bout against Brendan Schaub or someone similar, he went right for Alistair Overeem. He's doing it again at UFC 200: he could be fighting a lesser opponent like a Struve or Gonzaga, instead, he's fighting the ever dangerous Mark Hunt.

That's who Lesnar is, and if this is the end of his run, he should get some credit for it.
