@ animal:

Please, Fedor would destroy Brock Lesnar. He’s destroyed many “brock lesnars” before (anyone from hammer house: Coleman, Randleman, Etc…)And he’s annihilated everyone w/ more skill than lesnar that he’s fought(Fujita, Noguira, CROCOP, Hunt, Lindland, etc…) His mix of hard style sambo, boxing, judo, and insane submission game is the best on the planet. Couture might go the distance with him… but Lesnar loses in the first by submission.

Apologies to Brock fans; maybe I was a bit harsh on the guy! He came across well on the ESPN interview (what a great show by the way!).

Hope to god Randy wins this fight, the man is a legend .. and I’m not Brocks biggest fan!

That first 10 seconds of the Silvia fight was one of the best things I have ever seen in the Octagon.

Respect to Brock, he has obviously worked hard and is a scary, scary prospect for any fighter. I think that his size, strength and power could overewhelm anybody (given his strong wrestling background). But really, really don’t want him to be champ. Sorry boys but I just can’t see any like-able aspect to the guys personality!!

Never seen Fedor fight though.. You think he could take Brock?

I couldn’t agree with you more. If Lesnar learns some Jui-Jitsu over the next year or two, he will in fact be The World’s Most Dangerous Man. Until then, he’s just a big strong wrestler.

IMO and a weird way, I kind of see this like Shamrock and Royce in the Superfight. Randy is Royce with the insight and skill that the greater knowledge provide and Brock is like Ken trying to fight the perfect mistake free fight.

brock doesnt even need a green belt in jiujitsu, he could get away with a yellow or orange belt(traditional japanese jiujitsu, not bjj) he has the postitioning for the submissions he just needs to learn to apply them…. BUT

he isnt the most flexible guy out there, so i dont see arm bars, or triangles happening, same as omoplata’s or kimora’s his arms are big and those moves arent really easy to apply when you are that big… there is a guy brocks size in my jiujitsu club who comes by now and then, strong as an ox, no cardio(hes a juicer) but i can slip out of all of his submission attempts and then submit him myself…

i dont think brock should try any submissions on randy, and he shouldnt try any until he has developed those skills properly… but when has grasped them, my gawd, who will be able to stop him?

if brock beats randy, then he faces nog/mir, if he manages to beat one of them(highly unlikely but possible he almost had mir and mir admited it himself)

then if randy ever fights fedor(most likely loses since he will be 5000yrs old by then) and loses then i can see the stage being set for a fedor brock fight, which would be unreal…

it’s not the fact that this is gonna be a fight . I’m sure it will be a half way decent fight in the end . it is more of the fact of what the fight represents . The championship should be fought for by the two best athletes at that particular time and these two aint it . plain and simple . I think if there is a title match involving randy it should have been against werdum and dana knows that a comebacking randy doesnt have what it takes to beat him . The whole deal is over when randy loses and thats what woulod have happens . And it would have been over REALLY fast .

if brock had some sort of submission techniques…he would be unstopabble…and sooner or later he will develop his sumbmission skills…he seriously has a great chance @ becoming the worlds most dominant heavyweight!!

Brock needs to train in jujitsu, even up to a green belt level, and he would know what to look out for ect.
