What a joke. Who says the fight hits the ground? Lesnar says the fight hits the ground. Just like Lutter said, just like Hendo said, just like most people who have tried to take him down and had good takedowns said. The one part of Anderson's game that is not world class is his takedown defense, because he doesn't mind being on his back too much, the problem is he needs to mind when its Lesnar on top of him. The difference is Lesnar is 265+ and a top level wrestler in MMA. The fight hits the ground, there is no question; the idea that Silva is going to be able to stop a takedown with "footwork" is just laughable. Mir is going to beat Kongo just like he did Hardonk, with no problems. Title shot contention? Certainly doesn't deserve it after that ass beating Cain Velasquez put on him.
Anderson could keep this standing and pick apart Brock with his speed and swat him like Pac swating De La Hoya. . If Brock get's just one take down though I dont know what Anderson can do off his back againts a huge beast like Brock.
Silva has better speed, accuracy, timing, technique and stamina. Lesnar has power and size. Lesnar takes Silva down, fight over. He's just too small to deal with Brock imo hence why I voted Lesnar. But what I will say is if this was purely a stand up fight I'd give it to Silva.
Its possible that Silva could KO him, I mean he`s a higher level fighter by far in a p4p sense, quite big himself & a chin is a chin regardless of the size of opponent. I`ll go with Lesnar tho, Silva`s BJJ & takedown defence is no better than Mir`s IMO & Lesnar more or less made those skills void, Id imagine he`d do the same to Silva. You never know but my pick has to be Lesnar unfortunately. Botswana :smoke
Lesnar would win by sheer size... I'm not even sure how Anderson would be at heavyweight, but I'm guessing you didn't think about that too much Radab :good
This is a joke question. I think Silva is Top 3 skill wise fighters in the world, with Fedor and GSP with him. But Brock is too ****ing big. Seriously, people are betting against Fedor because of Brocks size. Brock runs Silva down, takes him down, and smothers him for first round. This fight will be over at MOST(only via miracle) inside 2 rounds.
I think Anderson either has to get a couple of knees in when Lesnar rushes or hope to get a submission hold on Brock would he's down. But personally I don't like a fighters changes when his options are limited, so I'd pick Brock. The longer the fight lasts, though the better I like Anderson's chances. However, regarding the size issue, while I'd pick Lesnar over Anderson, I'd pick Fedor over Lesnar.
