I assume Brock will keep fighting, so who would you match him with next?

    The UFC may put Brock back in to a title eliminator in order to get their prize draw back on track, so he could conceivably face

    , or they may do what they did with BJ Penn after he suffered a decisive loss and put him in with someone he had history with so for Brock that would be

    , or they may try to build him back up again slowly by giving him what they perceive to be a relatively easy comeback fight with someone like

    And then there are up and comers to consider, guys like

    Who would you choose, if you were the match-maker? :bbb

    Lol Ben Rothwell. He should be put in a cage and just never let out again, he's terrible.

    Um, I think putting him in with Nelson is a fair shout. It's just hard finding a guy who knows what he's doing on the ground enough and is strong enough to get Lesnar off him. There's not many guys out there who can athletically tolerate Brock, suffice to say.

    Laugh all you want, but if the UFC knew how to promote Kimbo we would have gotten Kimbo vs Chuck and then Kimbo vs Brock (perfect bounce back fight) that would have both generated a ton of interest. It's not so much that the UFC is above freakshows, they just couldn't capitalize on it.

    I'd like to see him come back asap. Nelson, Schaub, Kongo, Browne and Russow are all low level heavies he could fight.

    I'd like to see Nelson vs Mir on a side note.

    Rothwell is okay.

    The Carwin rematch would be intriguing.

    Ultimately Brock is an awesome offensive fighter. Even when it comes to striking I still rate him if he is dishing it. Defensively he is **** and needs to improve.

    They need to match him with the Taker. There's some genuine bad blood there, that match would draw MASSIVE numbers

    It feels a little too soon for Mir vs Lesnar, as that should be a fight when both fighters are hot and near the top to get the full effect out of the fight.

    Winner of Struve vs McCorkle or loser of JDS vs Velasquez

    He should have to work for a title shot this time.

    Shane Carwin to see if he can deal with strikes, and maybe Big Nog after to see how he deals with well roundedness.

    Frank Mir. IMO this is the perfect time to complete the trilogy.

    i think it depends. i could see the ufc matching him easy to try and build him back up. i hope they wont do this, but i wouldnt put it past them.

    One more bad beating and Brock will retire forever. So it's either a freakshow or against a big name, the B level contenders might make him go into fetus mode, so why risk it?
