Kidding.... Needs to be Fedor. I don't know anybody else that Lesner wouldn't just manhandle.


That would probably be the biggest fight in MMA history.

The only two guys currently in the UFC that could pose a threat to Lesnar are Shane Carwin and Gabe Gonzaga.

Both are large HW's, have heavy better than average stand up, lots of power, and the bulk to not get totally rag dolled.

Gonzaga couldn't deal with Randy's wrestling/clinch. Brock would be even worse wouldn't you think? Carwin might get the next title shot IMO.

Lesnar's not a Greco Roman guy even though he is larger and stronger than Randy, Randy's clinch is better.

Who knows how Gonzaga/Couture would have gone had Gabe's nose not gotten broken so early by their heads coming together on the slam.

True, I just think Brock would do the same to Gonzaga is all. The main thing with him is his size IMO. He really is like 2 full weight classes bigger then the other Heavy Weights, the HW division just so happens to go from 205 to 265. Maybe UFC can get that Huge Korean guy to come fight him. (although, I think his giantism or whatever has started affecting him pretty badly)

When are Gonzaga and Carwin supposed to fight? Do you think they wait for the winner of that one or try to get Lesnar a fight sooner than that?

Gonzaga is fighting Chris Tuchscherer at UFC 102.

Carwin is still rehabing an injury but is expected to fight Cain Velasquez(sp?) sometime around Oct-Dec.

It was Carwin vs Cain I was thinking of. I guess they give Gonzaga a shot if he wins this one? Don't know who else is somewhat deserving and available.

Not really sure, you also have-

Big Nog if he gets past Couture or Dos Santos/Cro Cop winner.

I wouldn't mind seeing Brock vs Cro Cop. I would absolutely love it if Mirko landed a head kick on him, I just don't know if he would be trying much of that and exposing himself to the takedown.

True. Looking at Dos Santos, he would have a pretty damn impressive start if he gets past Cro Cop. Already has 1st round KOs over Werdum and Struve. Add Cro Cop to the list and this guy will get mentioned.

I think he would get taken down with or without throwing head kicks so he might as well throw them.
