New ultimate fighter heavyweight has some promising contender to take out lesnar! :up:

[jflip2002]

That's just the point. You can't just take 50 lbs off him. He has the size, skill, speed, athleticism etc. to be champ and that's just what he is at the present. Will he be beaten?? I'm sure of it. When?? Who knows? Fedor? Maybe. Maybe not. Gonzaga took out Crocop with a dose of his own medicine, and who (certainly not I) would have expected THAT??

Bottom line is that Lesnar is very big, very strong, very fast and at the least, somewhat skilled. Skilled enough to be on top right now. How long will it last? Depends on who is challenging really. Fedor? Sure he has the skills, and an incredible record to boot, but can he handle Lesnar?? Time will tell.

Thats the scary thing... hes very big, very strong, and very fast... Its going to be a huge hillbilly wrecking machine when he gets more skill and experience.

If you take 50 lbs off of him, do you think he beats Mir or Couture? I dont think so, but thats just my opinion. He clearly has skill, otherwise he'd be like Tim Sylvia, getting his big fat ass beat. I just dont think its champion level skill, when he does gain that, teamed with his freakish size, it'll be damn near impossible to beat.

You beat me to the Silvia comparison. The Couture/Silvia fight was badass, saw it again the other night.

[Miasma]

Well if it comes down to Fedor/Lesnar I am a still going for Fedor. Fuck Lesnar is a freak. lol

[jflip2002]

Skill > size any day. Lesnar is freakishly huge to be sure, but he does possess some skills or he wouldn't be sitting on top right now. The guy is a world class wrestler (not talking WWE either), strong as an ox, and to top it off he is fast in the ring, moves well.

I want to see him go down, and he will soon enough, but don't be mistaken, he is the champ right now deservedly.

Agreed, he is a freak of nature. I've met him in person and he's a fucking monster.

Its scary, because you know he's only going to get better. If he gains the skills of a mid tier fighter, I dont think anyone can beat him... If he progresses past that, well.... I wont be watching heavyweight fights.

[Mtriple]

Sad, but I think thats true. There should be a weight limit on the heavyweight division. The only reason why he beats these guys is because of his size, not his skill.

...and who knows, I might even get up on top of my wife tonight.

[Maluco]

I don't see it happening either....

[Mtriple]

Yeah, I bet they were. I wonder how much Bud Light spent on those advertisements, probably a pretty penny. Dana, just like most business men, are in it for one reason... To make money. You mess with the sponsors in an idiotic rage, you wont last too long in the sport, or any career for that matter.

I hope Fedor dominates him.

"Hope" being the operative word. Sorry, but it's not going to happen.
