It's just like, even though Brock Lesnar fought in "more serious" competitions does not prove that wrestlers who did not could not defeat him.  

True. There is a time when strength, minor skill, and durability trumps over major skill, and that is when Andre and Mark wins against Lesnar. There is also a time when similar skill, superior physicality in most aspects, and toughness trumps over simply similar skill, and that is when Karelin wins against Lesnar.

As I stated earlier, Lesnar is severely overrated by wrestling fans and MMA fans alike.

The fact that brock fought in serious competition does prove hes better than any other wrestlers mentioned.
You wouldn't say that some random kids playing in a rec basketball league are better than the golden state warriors, would you?

Once again, Lesnar is being severely underrated by you, look, neither of you guys have ever competed in wrestling, Boxing, MMA, BJJ etc. Neither of you know the difference between a division 1 champion over some guy who is a good street fighter.
No Offense, but it's the truth.

"Lesnar attended Webster High School, where he played football[18] and competed in amateur wrestling. He was a two-time state champion in amateur wrestling with a record of 33–0–0 in his senior year.[21] Lesnar then attended Bismarck State College, where he won the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) heavyweight wrestling championship in his sophomore year.[22] He transferred to the University of Minnesota on a wrestling scholarship for his junior and senior college years. There, he was roommates with future WWE colleague Shelton Benjamin, who was also his assistant coach.[18][23]"

"Lesnar won the 2000 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I heavyweight wrestling championship his senior year after being the runner-up the year prior. Lesnar finished his amateur career as a two-time NJCAA All-American, the 1998 NJCAA Heavyweight Champion, two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Conference Champion, and the 2000 NCAA Heavyweight Champion, with a record of 106–5 overall in four years of college.[24]"

You cannot put Mark Henry or Andre the giant in the category of being a fighter, wrestler or any type of martial artist. In fact, go to sherdog.com right now and post that, see what responses you get.

Lets go over the Entire UFC Championship Roster Right now...
Demetris Martin-College- Longest Reigning Flyweight Champion " he placed 3rd and 2nd in state in his junior and senior years. Although he participated in track and cross country to improve his cardio for wrestling, he competed at the State Championships in both sports as well."
Conor McGregor- Featherweight Champion- Started Kickboxing since Age 12, he began boxing at Crumlin Boxing Club under two-time Olympian Phil Sutcliffe[8][9] , All Ireland Boxing Champion as a youth
Rafeal Dos Anjos-lightweight champion-BJJ Black belt, Muay Thai Black belt, wrestler
 Robbie Lawler- Welterweight Champion- began training in karate at the age of nine and later attended Bettendorf High School where he received All-State honors in wrestling and football. Lawler was taken under the wing of Pat Miletich when he was 16 years old and began training with Miletich Fighting Systems as soon as he graduated in 2000
Luke Rockhold-middleweight champion- Training Judo since he was 6,When he entered the seventh grade, he joined his school's wrestling team and stuck with the sport all through Soquel High School[12] while taking jiu-jitsu classes. He also trains out of AKA with Daniel Cormier (olympic medalist in wrestling and cain valesquez, collegiate wrestling monster
Jon Jones/Daniel Cormier- Both LHW champions, fighting for the unified belt next month. Both are collegiate wrestling standouts, cormier like mentioned already was an olympic medalist while jones was a college wrestler and both his brothers play in the NFL and have superbowl rings (obviously an athletic specimen)
Stipe Miocic-HW champion- Golden Glove Boxer, college wrestler

Now I ask you, do you think this is a fluke? Do you think these guys spent their entire lives training and all of a sudden some kid off the streets can compete against them?
Not a chance, not in a million years.

Even go back to the guys they defeated for the title, you'll find the same credentials, got back before them and before them... It's the same story.

@brotherbear which are you going to believe?
An article or straight from Norriss' mouth?
And even in the article never says anything about them having a "friendly" as you put it and sparring is usually just moving around and not going hard unless you're in a fight camp or helping a guy out who is fighting. Reply
