Hi all,

I know the whole Fedor and Brock rumours have been on going for quite some time now so this isn't going to be a thread about any rumours or possible signings. Just something that I've been thinking about...

If the UFC does end up landing both of these guys I would truly like to see them square off in each of their UFC debuts and here's my reasoning.

Fedor, arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world clearly has the skills but he's still not very well known in North America. Lesnar on the other hand is the opposite. He's very inexperienced, but talanted, and he's widly known. Having the two fight would really be win win for the UFC.

If Fedor wins then everyone in North America will now know his name because he beat "The Next Big Thing". Another bonus would be Brock having his ass handed would hopefully lead to a reality check for him and bring his ego down a few notches, motovate him to train harder, and HOPEFULLY bring down his overall asking price per fight when he finally realizes he's not the end all be all to MMA as he currently believes.

If Lesnar happens to win then (and it's not a fluke or lucky shot) then he proves to the world that he's legit and the UFC has yet another top heavy weight to add to their growing roster. The downside of this is Lesnars exploding ego wouldn't fit inside the arenas anymore and all the "Wrestlers can hang with MMA guys" guys would have more ammo.

Any thoughts?
