    I would scratch the Kongo fight in Montreal, and give him Lesnar!

    Why not put Machida vs Luiz Cane in the 98 and put Lesnar vs the winner of GG and Carwin on 100.

    Lesnar has zero experience in MMA. He has exceptional physical tools but he arrived in this sport too late. Despite his success i believe Lesnar is riding his luck. Gonzaga and Shane espcially Shane are massive heavies. Not as big as Brock but Gonzaga is an accomplished striker as well as good on the mat. Shane also is a decorated wrestler with a brutal GnP. My money would be on both men to stop Brock or submit him.

    You said the same thing with Heath Herring and his "credentials' would be too much for Brock, but being as blind as you are you don't see the freak athlete that Brock is and even with his little experience is still a top HW. I say he beats both of those guys and to say Carwin will GnP him is just being ignorant. but that's nothing that your not use to.:-(

    I think Dana will protect Lesner for a long time in what ever way he can. Lesner must bring in alot of money and media interest compared to well just about all the other heavies put together. No big fights out there for the bloke so keep him safe til a good fight can be made. They will probably find a bunch of ****ed up vets to fight him or midgets.

    Yeah good point that's why they fed him to Mir in his UFC debut he is really been brought along slowly.. his second fight against HH and his 3rd againt Couture who was considered 2nd best HW at the time:-:)-(

    If Mir is indeed out no other fight is better then Gonzaga-Carwin winner they have about 11 weeks before that date in May so they have plenty of time to prepare and I felt the winner of this was going to be the new number 1 contender anyway since Couture-Nogueira isnt happening for like 6 more months. Gonzaga is what I want he poses a very tough matchup for Brock hes got Mundial Championship BJJ skills and very dangerous standup heavy hands and feet not just head kicks listen to his leg kicks or just ask ****** McCully how they feel.

    Well if Lesnar can make the first round vs Gonzaga tough and tiring, he has a chance to softening him up, and take this on UD or maybe late TKO.

    But I'll bet for a Gonzaga sub .
