The superheavyweight division will not happen. How many guys would qualify for that? Two comes to mind, lesnar and Silvia and that is about it. The heavyweights are going to have to build size and strength and eat more to compete. I still cant believe Randy went in at 225 with Lesnar. What was he thinking?

All you guys thinking Mir will submit Lesnar again. How many different ways could Mir get Lesnar? I only see one and thats not going to happen again. I live in MN and I know for sure that Lesnar is still training with Rodrigo Comprido Medeiros in BJJ, so his skills should be a lot better to handle Mir this time around.

Is the consistent reference to the WWE past necessary anymore? Everyone already knows this, and yet it seems like it has to be mentioned or an article on Lesnar isn’t complete.

Why do articles of Ken Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, Frank Shamrock, Frank Trigg, Dan Severn, etc. never mention their fake wrestling careers?

Tim Sylvia always cut to 265 as well, and as weve all seen with Tim, SIZE AINT EVERYTHING! Lesnar has very little BJJ skills, and the striking may be bout equal based on mir/nogeira. Mir by Submission Rd2

Essentially, and in an ideal world, I agree that there should be a Super Heavyweight division. Lesnar has/will have 40 pounds on a lot of his opponents, which is an absurd amount in an MMA fight. But realistically it can’t happen as there isn’t enough talent in the super heavies. Most of them are big oafs with little actual MMA skill. Bobb Sapp, for example. And if they did create it Lesnar wouldn’t be in it as he’d cut down to 265 as he does now. He would probably end up being champion of both divisions anyway.

also, brock would take out cain. cain wouldnt be able to lie on top of him for 3 (or 5) rounds like he did with kongo. and if they were standing i would also give the advantage to brock.

I’d like to see Cain Velazquez start bulking up and putting on maybe 30 lbs. Then he can cut the weight and come in big like Brock. I think when those two meet it’s gonna be a brawl or a quick finish.

I think Brock could be the future in the UFC too tho. He’s just a genetic freak farm boy. Even if he gets caught again…..he’ll dominate soon enough.

“My only problem with Lesnar… Is I think He should be the Champ of a 265lbs division. Super Heavy Weight or whatever.”

…did anyone else read this?

They already have a 265lbs division. It’s called Heavyweight. He’s actually the champ. You can relax now.

I hope Lesnar wins, mostly just because there hasn’t been a dominant champ in the UFC in a while and even if Mir wins, he wouldn’t keep the title for long.

If Lesnar were to win, doesn’t mean he would keep it long, but i personally believe he would have a better shot at keeping it longer than Mir.

Never the less, hope it is a good fight. as much as wicked submission endings are awesome, this is a fight where i would like to see who is the “toughest” heavyweight in the UFC. that might be a noobish perspective, but that is still what i want to see. a hw brawl.
