He is very inexperienced. Mir beat him with a leg lock of all things, even Carwin almost had him, but gassed out due to punches. If he gets about 10 more fights under his belt (win or loss) I think he will start to become better suited for the Champ spot for a long time. He has the size, the strength, and the athletic ability, but DAMN he needs to work on his stand up. I don't think we will ever see Brock charge like a bull for 2 minutes strait again. He learned a valuable lesson, and that is to take it slow, keep a level head, and PACE himself. He did to Cain, what Carwin did to him. But I agree, watching him run away IS embarrassing. He will learn that closer is actually better in the stand up, just give him time.
