Quom Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Just wondering if there's a fighter at another weight class that you'd say is comparable to Lesnar's current skill level. In what regard? Wrestling? I'm not convinced Brock is the wrestler people think he is. He raped Herring but was easily stuffed and ended up being taken down by Carwin. I'd put Carwin in the exact same place as Brock. Both are incredibly raw. Both can win fights against anyone but both have big holes that can be exploited. Carwin isn't in the top 5 because he has fought and lost more times recently. Werdum although a totally different style of fighter is similar. Rampage perhaps? He's fairly one dimensional and seems to struggle when things don't go to plan. Although He's much better at sticking it out and steering it back on course. Is that what you meant?

Guest mr. potato head Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 And what about Overeem's big hole? We hear about having awesome takedown defense, but since evolving into Ubereem, he hasn't faced a better wrestler than a washed-up Kazuyuki Fujita. Both these guys have glaring weaknesses that happen to be what the other guy specializes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both these guys have glaring weaknesses that happen to be what the other guy specializes in. Can you penalise a guy for not having something tested though? It seems a bit weird to me. I mean I didn't say Machida had a glass jaw because he'd never been hit (prior to his fight with Evans, I should also point out I don't think he does have a glass jaw, just making a point and using a similar example). I'd say there is a potential weakness, but nobody knows if it is a weakness until Lesnar gets a hold of him. Even then questions will remain as Brock may have lost strength whilst sick and isn't back up to 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrilla Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Only had a chance to watch the top two matches, Diaz looked good, thought he was going to finish the fight after his performance in the first round. Overeem/Lesnar went how I thought, that Rutten-esque kick to finish the fight was a thing of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
