Let’s pretend Brock Lesnar will fight Daniel Cormier or Stipe Miocic next

  1. I think they both fuck him up badly and quickly. Brock has lost a ton of size and strength in the last few years, which was his only attribute. He isn't a good wrestler, from a technical standpoint, despite his accomplishments in the ncaa. Both of those fights are squash matches.

  2. I think Chael underestimates Brock's size and strength by saying that Stipe is just going to knock him out

  3. Brock is physically strong, and athletically gifted. But he never exposes himself to different gyms/fighters in training.

    Had he started in MMA early, he might have been the very similar to a heavyweight Matt Hughes. Decent boxing, great wrestling, average leg kicks to the legs/body, and great jui jitsu. Matt Hughes had his limits, and he never surpassed them.

    I would never in a million years expect Matt Hughes to throw spinning roundhouse kicks like Edson Barbosa or to be able to evade strikes and smoothly counter like Anderson Silva.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure Lesnar would have had a Matt Hughes-type career. But, as it stands, he sucks at striking, can't throw kicks, and doesn't have the mental fortitude to absorb shots like Hughes. That's just something that comes with actual training with different and talented training partners.
