re: All aboard the “Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar UFC Pain Train

I would put DC as about a 3.5 to 1 favorite. Line will probably be -250 though because Brock does have a lot of fans and is physically imposing.

Stipe deserves a rematch, but the UFC is a business and the Brock fight is a 5-10x bigger money maker.

Also, its impossible to tell how good Brock is. He is a top 10 HW no doubt. Is he top 5? Dunno. Best fight to judge Brock on is the Carwin fight which was a mixed bag. He was fully healthy, fighting regularly, and Carwin was a legit top 5 HW. That fight could have gone either way.

Couture fight was meaningless. I bet on Brock that fight and had 100% confidence in that one. Size and age difference were way too much.

Mir just hasn't been that good since his motorcycle accident.

Cain is Cain and was the best in the world when he dominated Brock. Bet that one as well, knew Cain was going to smash the Brock hype train which was at its apex that night.

Reem was peak juiced Reem on an 11 fight win streak when he beat Brock, hardly surprising, practically no one could beat fully juiced Reem.

Beating Hunt by decision was a solid win.

Fight is somewhat interesting. Brocks 3 losses are legit losses. Got caught in a submission in his second career fight which happens, then lost to possibly the best heavyweight in the world at the time vs Cain and juiced Reem. This DC fight tips the scale on Lesnars UFC career as either legit top 5ish HW or decent HW but not a top HW that wont get another title shot.

Many of you forget that Brock has very minimal MMA experience, in comparison to the other guys currently competing. He has been able to accomplish what he has simply because he is a freak athlete who happens to be monstrous in size. Also, don't overlook the diverticulitis that Brock dealt with during his last UFC run -- that shite is no joke. A healthy Brock is a dangerous Brock. He's gonna have at least 6" and 40 lbs. on DC. I think the gameplan will be similar to what it was w/ Hunt. Avoid the big shots and win on the scorecards.

Yeah, no.

That pic is a bit misleading.

DC is barefoot, Lesnar is wearing cowboy boots with a 2 inch heel (look at the YouTube video when he walks in, you see the huge heels on the boots).

Brock is 6'2, DC is 5'11. Its about a 3 inch height difference.

Agreed

I'm not 100% positive on the Brock doesn't like to get hit mentality. I could be wrong but when this became a thing was when he was dealing with diverticulitis. Not sure anyone wants to get hit then. Watch the Shane Carwin fight. He took a lot before closing him out.

Brock Lesnar is about 6'3.5" with no shoes and Cormier says on a good day with his tall shoes on hes 5'11", so hes really 5"10" at best with no shoes.

These guys are cool with each other and have known each other for over 20 years, they have always contemplated who would win in a real wrestling match. This fight is interesting to me because DC isn't going to just flash Lesnar. They have very similar wrestling skill sets, however Brock is bigger, stronger and faster. If Jon Jones can take DC down at will, I think Lesnar could too.

My pick: DC wins 48-47 split decision.
What I want to see: Brock Lesnar win and defend vs Jon Jones.

Most sites say Lesnar is 6'2. The WWE advertises him at 6'3.

I'm going with 6'2. The WWE always advertises their top guys as bigger and taller than they are.

By the way Lesnar was measured at 6'2 at the NFL combine when he was 26 or 27. Then the Vikings listed him at 6'3 .

My guess is Lesnar is probably a bit over 6'2.

DC is probably 5'10 though.
