UFC 87

Lesnar attempted 2 locks and 2 chokes, in addition to striking at a skill level at least equal to the average guy in MMA.

His hitting power is far, far above average - it's among the highest in the entire sport. Not only are his fists nuclear weapons, his knees can probably break ribs.

Again, under "real" MMA rules, that is, when there are only 3 or 4 rules and not 20 like the current gay system, probably less then 5 guys would be able to stop Lesnar. There might only be 5 guys who can stop him anyway within 1 year.

Truth.
 
Ditto to the above two posts. Lesnar is for real and his already immense skill set will only grow larger as long as he stays dedicated to his craft.The sky is the limit for Brock. I just hope he is surrounding himself with good people who have his best interests at heart. Brock was a little too "pro wrestling" with that post fight press conference, I hope his handlers are letting him know that.
 
His big frame could also become a big problem as well. While large muscles do provide a power advantage on the down side those fighter tend to wear down quite easliy because there bodies tend to need more oxygen. Look at fighter such as Kevin Randleman, Kimbo, and Melvin Guillard. From my own expericence we had a guy come into are gym that was a former Mr Arizona. while he was strong he was very skilled and he wore down quickly. If you watch Couture's training regime he mixes and lot of unorthadox routines in his sessions. Things to build his endurance.
 
He's not a bodybuilder. He's a wrestling champion.

He is the 1999 NCAA 285 pound runner up and the 2000 NCAA 285 pound champion. He won't get drop dead tired.

See, this is what is so scary about this guy. All normal objections are wrong. Too big = too slow? Wrong. Too big = no skill? Wrong. Too big = too tired? Wrong.

Forget Randy. He can beat Randy right now. The Natural will probably never fight again anyway.
 
Lesnar has good cardio, especially for a man that huge. There isn't anyone in the heavyweight division that I can see (UFC) that can challenge him physically enough to make him gas.

And please, let's not even mention Kimbo - exhale - in the same breath as Brock Lesnar.
 
For alotta big guys (myself included), we have a size power edge, but that starts to fade as the match/fight progresses. When I roll BJJ, I had man-handle most of the guys due to size & strength, but if I can't score a submission fairly quickly, I start gassing. Also, if I try to over-rely on size/strength, my technique gets sloppy. However, Lesnar is no "average" big guy. He's well known for his freakish functional strength & atheletism. If these fights were old-school NHB, he'd be dang near unbeatable. He also has solid cardio & a top flight camp. He has the talent/potential to totally dominate MMA within a year or 2.

P.S. - I agree he needs to reel in the smack talk thought...it's bush-league & not professional.
