There isn't much left to say about the K-1 Dynamite! show at the LA Coliseum last night that I didn't address in last night's column. What really makes last night's mess mind-boggling is that K-1's kickboxing brand is the world leader in that sport, so they clearly know how to run a successful fighting operation.

*As for attendance last night, K-1 claimed 54,000, which I guess you could say is true if they include everyone who lives in a 10-mile radius around the stadium. It's this simple: The Coliseum has a 92,000-seat capacity. 20,000 seats were taped off to begin with. There are three levels of raised seating. The lower level was filled from 40-yard line to 40-yard line on each side of the stadium, then tapered off. The middle level was filled right around the 50 on each side, then tapered off immediately and was empty the rest of the way. The upper level was empty all the way around the stadium. OK, not true, I looked up once and saw two people sitting way up at the top row. But you get my point. Add in the people on the field level and I stick with 10,000-15,000 as an estimate.

*So, if you want to make an MMA debut, you do it the way Brock Lesnar did. Lesnar is a tremendous natural athlete. He won the NCAA heavyweight wrestling title at Minnesota. As a pro wrestler, while obviously it is not a sport, it still requires athleticism, and he displayed freakish agility for someone his size. When Lesnar tried out for the Vikings, he made it all the way to the end of camp before being cut, and word was he nearly made the practice squad. Before you scoff, consider that he had not stepped on a football field since high school. How many people with zero experience can come in and nearly make an NFL practice squad?

The important thing here is that Lesnar has gone about preparing for his MMA career the right way. He has been training for nearly a year. He first trained with the Miletich camp last summer. He didn't stay with Miletich because of the distance between the camp and his home. But people associated with the gym I've spoken to raved about how he kept taking a licking and coming back for more, and was always looking to work on his weaknesses and learn.

Since then, he has been training at the up-and-coming Minnesota Martial Arts Academy, home camp of UFC lightweight champ Sean Sherk, and worked on his boxing with the highly respected Greg Nelson.

Lesnar is serious about making it. His next career choice will be a major factor in whether he does so. Lesnar needs to brought along and built properly. Someone could pay him huge money to face Fedor right now, for example, but Fedor would eat his lunch. Lesnar needs to be slowly tested against a better level of competition with each match. Will he hook up with a promoter who is willing to be patient with him, or will he sign for big, quick bucks and take a match that could impede his progress?

*By the way, there was a show this weekend that demonstrated the someone other than UFC can promote successfully in North America when it is done right. Ever notice how many quality fighters are either from Quebec, or get their first exposure there? That's because there has long been a good promotion in place, TKO, which runs out of Montreal. Georges St. Pierre, David Loiseau, Patrick Cote, Sam Stout, Mark Hominick and others came up through TKO. Promoter Stephane Patry doesn't try to rent 92,000-seat stadiums and put on pay-per-views. Patry has slowly grown his business through smart match-making, and TKO is now at the point they run the Bell Centre in Montreal for quarterly shows. TKO's latest show was on Friday night. In the main event, Cote downed Alberta's Jason Day (11-5) to win the TKO middleweight title via stoppage at 4:05 of the first round in front of a crowd of 7,700.

*The big weekend isn't done yet. Tonight is the WEC's debut on Versus, featuring Urijah Faber's featherweight title defense against Chance Farrar. It is past due time for the 145s and 135s to get their shot at the limelight.
