Angle just got cleared to wrestle right before the Olympics happened. He went to the Olympics with barely training in the 3 months up to it. And yet he still for the most part destoryed everyone that stepped on the mat with him. The only match he had trouble with was the final which he won in OT against a very accomplished I wanna say Greek or Ukranian wrestler. He is arugably the greatest Freestyle wrestler ever and Corture wouldn't score a point on him. I think even Corture would admit that.
When it comes to Lesnar, he has the cardio, he has the physical ablitly, and he has the background in Wrestling. If focused on Cross-Training he would be able to compete at HW in the UFC. I think after a few years he would be able to beat Slyivia with ease. Even though Tim has the size on Brock, Brock is far stronger and wouldnt have a problem taking it to the ground. And that would be the fight once its on the ground.

Sanderson would just completely embarras him. Angle did lose to Kerr anc Coleman, and never beat them. he used to wrestle at super heavyweight to avoid the tougher competition at 190, where couture was a 2-time runner up once behin Kerr in one of them. Not to mention Couture pursued Greco Roman in the Olympics. him being the best freee-style wrestler is only arguable by you and abunch of other WWE fans. anybody who knows their shit would list you a shitload of other wrestlers ahead of him

Send Brock to Team Punishment, Militech, or ATT for 2 years and he would be dangerous....as long as he has his mental game straight.
He has a good wrestling background, he's agile and fast, tough as hell, has good cardio, and is as strong as an ox.
For example...look at Monson.
When he was with Team Quest or anyone else - he just wasn't that great.
Ricco beat Monson up pretty badly the last time Monson fought him in the ufc.
Then after a few years in Florida with Monson training with ATT...now look at the difference in his size, skills, and abilities..
Monson's not only on a great winning streak in MMA and a heavyweight contender in the ufc - but now he's also on a winning streak as a pro boxer.
If Brock got with the right people and trained hard....and they picked the right opponents for him and brought him up slow...he could have a serious future in MMA if he wanted it bad enough.
But to put him in with any of the top ten ranked heavyweights that are in the MMA now would be a serious mistake...he would just get embarassed.

| more money
I don't know how successful Brock Lesnar would be as a UFC fighter. He might do well, or he might become the biggest disappointment ever. But I know this much for sure; he would draw money. All of a sudden UFC would get extra PPV orders just becuase the former WWE champion is fighting in a UFC event. I for one would certainly be interested in how well someone like Lesnar would do against Sylvia, Arlovski or even Mir. Anyway, I am glad Dana White did the rigth thing and gave Lesanar an offer. I mean WWE invested serious money in this guy creating the character "Brock Lesnar". All Dana has to do is pick this finished product up and stick him in his show and PPV rate goes up. Sounds pretty good to me.

I like Brock but the Pitt Bull
would knock him the fuck out. |

Brock will have a chance if is does it smart. If he signs with the UFC and jumps into a fight right away he will get rocked against any real competitor. If he waits a year or two, actually trains hard in many different camps, then when he comes out he will be a well balanced fighter with crazy power and great wrestling as his assets.

Ya I don't mind Goldberg in UFC either. There was some rumor concerning Goldberg fighting Tank in a UFC event. Any truth to that?
If Goldie comes to UFC, you think the crowd would start chanting
"Gooooooooldberg Goooooooooooldberg" as well?
Please Dana, sign Goldberg please!
