Shane Carwin in size and strength might be able to match up with Brock...never deal in absolutes.
Bobby Lashely is just as big/stong, give him some time lets see if he keeps progressing he could give Brock fits in wrestling as well.

ya on White's phone interview he sounded like a pansy once again
just let M-1 co-promote, it's retarded to let the opportunity pass, he'll prob make just as much getting 50-70% as he does for any other card that only UFC promotes

Not really a loss, it would have been ruled no contest except for the rules of the tournament. It was due to a cut from an illegal elbow. Some Japanese guy. If you google it, you'll find it.

Not gonna happen. I think White is a smart man for not giving up half of Ufc to M1. Here is the yahoo story. What can I say, told you so. I knew it would never happen.

I look at it like this:
The only person that has a chance to beat Fedor in reality is Brock.

Lesnar shows GREAT changes and improvement every time i see him fight. The Mir fight was by far an excellent show of his ability to gain skill and learn from his mistakes. If he fought Fedor and lost, he would probably get him in a rematch. Guy is determined to the bone no doubt.
This is just what makes sense to me. Both are great world class fighters and i would not be bothered by who won. A) Lesnar beats that proclaimed best in the world. B) He loses to the baddest and it took the best to beat him.

i like brock,but i dont think he can last very long unless he gets on top of fedor.
the odds are against brock thats for sure.
fedor is a ****** beast and from all the guys fedor has fought i dont think brock scares him one bit.

I agree with Dana White on this one, even though I don't care much for him. Dana definitely made the right call on this deal. He consented to most of the demands for this fight, other than signing over 50% of the UFC for one fighter, the audacity to even make such a demand is almost beyond comprehension.

And if Strikeforce really feels froggy they can have the barnett vs fedor fight over in Japan (where they don't give a **** about Steroids/PED's) and have a huge card.

MMA WEEKLY TOP 10 HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION (over 205 pounds)
#1 Heavyweight Fighter in the World: Fedor Emelianenko
2. Josh Barnett - didn't get to face him
3. Brock Lesnar - potential match up we all want to see
4. Frank Mir - would roll through him just as easy as Werdum/Overeem
5. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - beaten him already
6. Randy Couture - read above
7. Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic - beaten him already
8. Brett Rogers - potential match up in strikeforce
9. Cain Velasquez - could be very interesting, would have loved to see this after brock/randy
10. Andrei Arlovski - knocked him the **** out
So out of the top 10 there who really are we worried about him not fighting outside of Brock/possibly Randy due to the strikeforce thing? I'm still hoping they pull off the barnett fight.

I used to respect Fedor. To me it looks like him and his manager always find ways to duck the big payout fights. He always called himself the last Emperor, then he should fight the number 1 guys out there period. Dana gave him everything to make it happen and fedor walked. My personal opinion he is a big fatty. Although brock needs an attitude adjustment and alot to learn i think he would make fedor look stupid and Fedor's manager knows this. Hence the off the wall demands to be in UFC. Champions fight the best no matter what. Thats what makes them champions.

I feel you, BUT, it is a both way fight between the two. Could go both ways. I think this is the best of the best match up. You need to realize that Dana asked Brock to bring some of the WWE BS to UFC, that is allot of what the **** talking was about when he defeated Frank Mir. Not just acting out. But it was a little of both. He did apologize and does respect Mir. But just had to shut up the BS he was spouting out by bashing his face and making Mir look like he was a newb.
