    I think Lesnar could take him down. He's a lot heavier than Fedor and as, if not more explosive. Lesnar would bumrush him, take him down and pound him.

    And he was nowhere near beating Fedor.

    Am I the only one who wasn't impressed with lesnar the other night? He really did nothing outside of landing that right hand, and then laying on Herring for the rest of the boring 15 mins.

    Between these two, i think HMC would have a decent chance of knocking lesnar out. Otherwise, it would probably be a fight of two big men lying around the mat.

    Hong Man busted up Fedor even though the fight was very short. A man that big has serious power. His quite cumbersome though but his knees are vicious.

    Hung Man does seem to be a powerful cat but I see Lesnar taking it. Anyways I have no intrest in it im hearing Kongo as his next opponet which is intriguing but Kongos TD defense sucks so Brock should hump him for 15 minutes but it would be intresting if it stayed standing. He wins that and id love to see him in with Gonzaga because Gonzaga although he had them 2 losses recently is a complete animal physically just not mentally like another talented Brazil star we know cough Vitor cough.

    Vitor gets a bly. His only fighting on fumes and for the money. The death of his sister hit him real hard.

    True the sister thing is heartbreaking for sure everything from her young age and everything surrounding sucks and im sure Vitors had to imagine what happened to her and it makes him and his family miserable. Ive always been a Vitor fan and loved his KO over Martin I hope he continues to work with Couture and builds off that. Hes probablly fighting Lindland next and yes Lindland could take him down and lay on him but agian Vitors working with Couture who of course knows Lindlands style like the back of his hand. Also everytime I see Lindland I get David Terrell flashblacks and Terrell is no Vitor in the standup department.

    Brock Lesnar has some of the best heavyweight takedowns in the game, no doubt, but Choi is a monstrosity. He gave Fedor problems in the takedown department and messed up his face pretty badly, just because he's so massive. Not to mention, the big man can throw a few decent punches. I think Lesnar could take him down, but whether or not he pulls it off makes or breaks this fight. I'd say it's a toss up. If Lesnar can land an early takedown, he's in business. If not, Hong will tire him out and wear him down with strikes.

    Lesnar

    He has enough quickness to go with his brute force to eventually take Choi down. Plus, he'd be able to be around his normal 300 pound mark, so he'd have more power going for him that Fedor did.

    I think Lesnar would be able to take Hong down. And sorry but just because Fedor couldn't take him down doesn't mean Lesnar can't. Lesnar is a totally different beast. In a fight Lesnar weighs easily upwards of 265lbs so i think he will definately have the strength and explosiveness to take the big man to the ground. Plus he holds a huge speed advantage but then again Fedor had that aswell.

    It's not so much the speed advantage - as being able to apply an extra 50 pounds to that speed.

    A train and a semi going 100 mph... the train does more damage, simply because of the extra force created by the extra weight.

    This was meant to be Lesnars MMA debut in the US for Heroes. The bout fell through because Choi failed his medical.

    How about Choi versus Bobb Sapp? That's closer in size....
