A few things i sorta wanted to mention reading over the previous several posts:
Everyone talks about how in a year Brock will be way way better, but i think not taking enough into consideration that Brock does
not have a monopoly on improving. To me personally one of the best parts of MMA/sports in general is watching how these guys get so so so much better year in and year out, and even though it's far more obvious when a guy that really sucked in some area now does not (or way less), the guy that was really good before isn't sitting at home eating potato chips all day either. So to me, the whole Brock-will-be-unstoppable-in-another-year argument, i don't think so. He may be special in terms of size/athleticism, but he is playing catchup even as everyone else is still pulling away at the same time.
...on the other hand, i haven't watched too much pro wrestling lately but having seeing it in the past i don't understand why we can't agree that someone insane enough to do something like that has the pain tolerance to match. In other words, I'd be willing to bet that Brock's chin is as good as anybody elses in the UFC and quite possibly better than the majority's even, considering that in martial arts you condition your body but train not to get hit, while in pro wrestling you are basically training to get ****ed up out of this world while putting on a show.
One final thing, Brock's lack of crisp, technical boxing isn't as major of a disadvantage as it would be for most, again because of sheer size and power that he brings to the table. It goes only so far, obviously, but when you're Brock "so far" can be far enough, and has been... so far
