TUF is due to have a season of HWs, and UFC could use the influx of young talent in that division. I also imagine that it would take a large bonus for Lensar to agree to that, because even with two losses he could still make more than the TUF winner contract else where. This all being said I think Lensar wins when he mounts Herring and the ref stops it in the 1st rd. nichole/JJ Docker – When I made the comment about him being on TUF for a season, I meant as a guy living in the house and competing for a spot in UFC.

He hasn't the experience to train others, he's only been training himself for 2 and a half years. If he loses, which I think he will, he'll take a pay cut and stay with the UFC. Maybe 100/125k a fight. Still more than enough imo. Dana would never put him as a coach on TUF! He hasn’t the experience to train others, he’s only been training himself for 2 and a half years.

How many good fighters will pack up and leave before the penny drops?

Because they aren't gonna pay him 250k to go out there and lose all the time. If he does get cut though you know he's elite xc bound and making his debut on cbs in october barring injury. yeah, if brock loses i’m gonna have to sit down and talk to him, meaning renegotiate his contract for less money or be cut.

He comes off as a great guy in those blogs. You can tell though that he's dreading this Lesnar fight, cause he's of the belief that Heath will beat Brock. Good news is that if Heath does win, you have a star that beat a known name. If Brock stops Herring, you go with the "This guy stopped a fighter our champ needed a decision to beat in the octagon" campaign. Paddiosf, that’s exactly what it is.
