In due time. People need to realize that his stand up is not THAT bad. Is it great? Hell no. But you shouldn't let that f**king GIF that all the Brock haters post all of the time influence you so much. His stand up will probably never be his strongest point but its still not going to be the worst in the HW division. Plus, its not like to go along with his stand up he has a decent wrestling base...he has one of the best wrestling bases in all of the UFC. He can probably control his opponents on the ground better than anyone else in the HW division.
People need to lay off the haterade. He's got the strap. Deal with it.

To be fair what ever he lacks in technical skill (which imo is quite a bit) standing up he makes up in explosiveness - he did drop Mir, Hearing and Randy standing up. Tbh I cant see his technical skill improving a whole lot because
his camp is filled with wrestlers
, that being said doesnt he really need to improve it a whole lot to survive with the best HWs in the world because his physicaly attributes and wrestling base make up for it.
That being said its hard to argue that he should be at the top of the P4P list purely based on his size - if he were the same size as say AS or GSP or even BJ Thiago Alves who do you think would win?

His camp definitely has a lot to do with it. I honestly can't be sure who exactly everyone is there (except for Tuschercher and Jon Madsen) but I do know that it is probably one of the weakest camps out there. I mean, good for Brock for starting his own thing, but he needs to get some quality talent in there. His rasslin and athleticism and body are only gonna do so much for him. He needs a couple of great strikers and a phenomenal striking coach in there with him.
