Lesnar wants to fight Nelson

[clovett]

per wrestling observer




- Brock Lesnar has asked to fight Roy Nelson.

- Lesnar believes that Nelson is a very difficult match-up and wants to be tested.

- The UFC will first offer Brock Lesnar a third fight with Frank Mir.

Lesnar/Mir III will sell tickets but Lesnar/Nelson should please more fight fans.

Minnesota Wrecking Crew FTW either way.

Nelson wants a big fight, that'd be a big fight.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Looks like Brock is sick of Muuuur.

I'd rather see Brock/Nelson than watch Brock smash Muuuurs face again.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Brock is scurrrrrred of Murrrrrr

 

[Liquidrob]

Roy wins

post steroid malfunction, I mean 'illness' Brock shouldnt be the favorite in most matches right now, unless he fights guys with huge holes like Carwin's cardio or Mir's chin, he just wont cut it

Roy is to well rounded (get it?) for Brock, I think even Kongo KO's him at this point, Brock needs to go fight the Mitrione's of the world now, but Matt might have a little to much swagger for Brock at this point

Bring back Kimbo for him

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Brock/Nog would do monster business.

The geeks would love to see a guy they love sub Brock and put on a clinic, but it also gives Brock the opportunity to get a highlight TKO over a guy who is washed up but still has a name.

Win for everybody.

Roy Nelson's belly will take all impact from Brock's shots.

Don't be mad because I speak the truth and see through hype and fancy promo's, thats the type of guys he should be fighting with the skill level he has displayed

He is 5-2.

With his skill level, not wanting to take punches, he has had a good career thus far. Beating Couture, Herring, Mir and Carwin.

Unlike Lashley, Konrad and Cormier (similar heavyweights), he has fought top competition in his young MMA career and done fairly well.

I'd say his opposition is fine where it is.

Liquidrob, the hype killer!! :guns:

 

[Liquidrob]

The jig is up on Brock until further notice, he will be defined on how he comes back from a savage beating where his spirit was broken, same with Lashley who hasnt done anything yet

Cormier is coming a long nicely, displayed the best striking out of all those guys so far and is a work in progress, Cole will go far within US MMA with his decision win style, he is on the right path though

Like I said, Brock was crowned to early and never had time to develop

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Lesnar is more explosive and stronger than all three of those guys. While they are all similar in backround, he is definately a more dangerous opponent and capable of beating higher caliber guys. No way is Lashley beating guys like Couture or Mir, and Konrad & Cormier haven't been tested at all (which is fine, that's not a knock). Any one of them would be smashed by Cain in simiilar fashion.

Dana should make a move on Lashley right now and book Brock/Lashley now that the belt is off Brock.

Brock would be favored over any of the three, imo.

 

[Cornelius]

I want to see Brock/Overeem. I want to see Brock get pounded so bad he runs back to fake wrestling full time.

No doubt. Like with any guy who looked poised to be a long time ass kicker, he took a hard loss.

Unlike with other fighters, Brock has age/time going against him. Will he put in the effort to improve his striking or not....will he be known as one of the top heavyweights of this generation or a potential-filled fighter who got into the game too late and could not realize that potential.

Way to push yourself there Brock! :thumbsup:

I'm hoping he's remembered as a 5 win flash in the pan who got a hole punched in his face multiple times. It should be fun watching him get knocked out by Ray Mercer in 9 seconds sometime next year.

Brock would beat Lashley, Lashley doesnt even train full time

Brock and Konrad would be pretty even, Brock is more explosive, but Konrad is closer to his wrestling prime, it would be a good fight but look like a wrestling match

I think Cormier TKO's Brock right now, he likes to throw and has heavy hands, just TKO'd Sao last night in Austrailia, he is less removed from his wrestling career and doesnt mind striking, would Brock be able to get him down and hold him there? Doubt it
