Kongo vs Lesnar would be great match…many of these guys understimate Kongo this guy has never been lost by the knock out either by unaminous or majority decision since his UFC dayview… he just lost by the decision split… kongo is dangerous on standing for lesnar, has killing knee, and is also excellent striker…block lesnar has just a heavy punches and doesn’t really have ground skills… because he’s big, he has advantage for his size… but many people will be surprise what kongo will bring on that fight…if they will possibly be faced….

Lesnar didn’t just lay and prey on Herring he busted his ass up on the ground. Both of dudes eyes were almost completely swollen shut. He was dominate and cautious. He man-handled Herring ( who was never in this fight) for 3 rounds. He gonna be the next Ufc heavyweight champ.

I’m a little disappointed in Lesnar’s apprehensiveness at times. Instead of going for the kill, he played it safe to avoid any left field subs Herring might have had for him.

At the same time, though, this guy’s only been training for a couple of years and is fighting at the apex of MMA (Affliction’s heavyweight roster notwithstanding), the UFC.

I think, with a couple more wins under his belt, Lesnar’s confidence will rise and he’ll start taking those chances to end a fight early instead of taking the safe route.

P.S. Has anyone ever seen a grown ass man the size of Herring get punched in the face and basically flip back? Geez, Lesnar has the strength of a retarded chimp.

Lesner impressed me as I am sure he did many more.
With limited MMA experience he gave the always tough Herring a “beat down”.
He threw a pretty good cross even by pro boxing standards and he was in control.
The question that was not answered was, can Lesner take a punch.
Can Lesner fight effectively when he is cut and bleeding.
Kongo might be a half step up, but I don’t see his stand up being good enough to test Lesner’s chin.
Why not but him in with someone who can punch and will punch at every opportunity.
With his wrestling experience Lesner can adapt with time to ju jitsu.
Let’s test his chin and heart under fire, when hurt, cut and bleeding.
He passes that, he’s on his way to the UFC title.
How would Lesner competed if he was cut, bruised, and bleeding like Herring?

Shogun vs. Rampage II?! YES. Kongo vs. Lesnar would be good, especially if Kongo’s takedown defense is spot on. Can’t wait.

Lesnar didn’t impress me Saturday night like I thought he would. I wasn’t aware that his camp focused alot of time on lay and prey tactics. You will notice how the UFC will not be putting Lesnar up against BBJ Champions in his next 2-3 fights. Lesnar will never be good at BBJ because of his size. He’s still not ready to even think about a title fight.

@ Scott

You have to Build up Carwin and Velazquez. There are enough average fighters for them to fight in the UFC to build up with. I mean christ, Velazquez just had his 4th fight. He needs to be built up so you can have a huge match-up between him and Carwin in two years. The HW division hasn’t looked great recently, but with these three coming up you know it has a very bright future.

While I understand everone’s comments on wanting to keep Carwin, Lesnar and Velazquez apart, I’ll offer a differn’t opinion. I’d throw them together, because: 1)The HW division is not deep at the moment, there are not alot of interesting fights out there. 2) It’s not like the loser of a Lesnar Velazquez fight (for example) would be banished forever, they’d just need to learn from the loss, and move on.

What I like about the UFC is that, for the most part, they have the best fighters, fighting the best fighters. No sheltering them, let’s have them go at it.

I think Lesnar’s next two fights should be with Kongo and Coleman. I think they could do the Coleman fight first, either at 90 or in November. They could also put Kongo on that card and build that fight a little more for early next year.

Lesnar is only going to get better, now his camp has 15 minutes of film to break down and work on improving things. This guy is going to be scary by this time next year.

Kongo is the future of nothing… he looks menacing but the guy doesn’t have any real ground game, his Herring (the wrestling cure for those with no wrestling skill) match not withstanding. But do NOT rule out an “in form” Frank Mir to hold the title for some time…. before his accident the dude was completely unbeatable…. sorta like a young Frank Shamrock when he was on one of his best nights. Mir’s only gonna improve if he stays dedicated and mentally sound, and that’s really the only type of guy that will stand a chance against these 3 new inflated wrasslers.

I would not put them together for some time… that’s bad business… the UFC is way big enough to bring along the choice ones at a smart rate and buid hige value and better skilled fighters… so why not build up all 3 plus Mir and then in 2 years , along with the 4 or 5 gatekeepers (Nog Couture, GG, Werdum, and maybe we even taste AA again… crawling back with his tail between his legs), you have got some serious depth that the HW division has not had in so long….oh yeah,…plus Fedor after he fires his greedy Russian Management (when the USS Affliction has been inflicted with bankruptcy papers) and then he hires Scott Boras and negotiates with Dana hardcore but exclusive. Note it: 2 years and the HW Division will ROCK and be considered the best in MMA and Boxing?…. well,it will be gasping a last breathe trying to promote featherweights with 33-0 records and Golden Boy vs Mayweather II and III in order to even remain remotely relevant. MMA, Do you feel the Rush, the Spider, the Prodigy and the Last Emperor!!!!

Lesnar is a beast but he needs to work on his BJJ BAD he could have chocked out Herring about 12 times he rode his back the whole time. Heath just kept giving it to him with no threat of getting choked out. I think Lesnar has a bright future ahead and I would love to see him bring the HW belt home to Minnesota. I think in 2 to 3 years of training Jits and he will be unstopable hes just to big and to strong for any one. I hope his training comes together sooner so he can rule the roost for years to come. It will never happen but could you see him and Fador going at it if his jits gets better and his sub defence I think he could ko Fador and throw him around like a ragdoll. It will never happen But if it did WOW it would be a good fight.

so, idk if anyone’s picked up on this or not.. but, have you noticed that everytime he punches, it sends his opponent to the canvas in one shot??

in the Mir fight, he grabbed his leg and just nailed him in the face and Mir hit the canvas..

and last night, ONE PUNCH made Herring do a backflip all the way to the opposite end of the cage..

he might just Knock his next opponent cold.. standing..

can’t wait..

Gonzaga would be a horrible matchup for Lesnar at this point. Too good at BJJ. Werdum would also be a horrible matchup. The biggest problem with Lesnar’s match-making currently is that the only guys in the division I’d rate above him currently are all really top-level BJJ guys: Gonzaga, Werdum, Mir, and Noguiera. (In that order, bottom to top.)
