| Brock vs Sylvia
I think Brock has a chance.
He isnt very well rounded as a fighter but his wrestling and especially his strength has to play a role. Brock would push Timmay up against the cage and Probably take him down at will. With his strength alone he could be a true contender for the title. Brock has a work ethic that is very good. If he puts the effort into MMA as he did wit wrestling I dont see him losing anytime soon. I wish he would have done the MMA route first but he knew where the $$$ is. That being said he could make more money "pro" wrestling than he could MMA which to me means he is very serious about being the toughest guy on the planet.
I guess no1 realizes 1 punch from GNP could end a fight if he throws it. I will call it and throw a 1 year sig/av bet on him being HW champ by 2009

if Brock gets Tim to the ground, i think he could use his superior strength to finish him off. but standing i think he'd get KTFO! Tim just has too much experience on Brock for Brock to try and keep it standing.
who ya think they'll debut Brock against? Eddie Sanchez? LOL

You are right if brock trys to stand with him e will get ktfo. but I dont think Tim can keep it on the feet. Too much strength which is brock's real advantage is what gets him the win.
I think they will put him against Tim in a Superfight of big guys

I think your both right standing Brock would be toast, but he is retard strong so getting big goofy Tim toi the ground would be an easy task for someone with Brocks experience, he will be like a Matt Hughes but 200lbs. heavier

I think that people underestimate Tim's defensive abilities far too much.
Monson manhandled a lot of HW's in his time but didn't even come close to getting Tim into a dangerous position at any point.
Randy although a lot smaller than Brock didn't exactly take Tim down at will and even when he had his back after the knock-down in the first, couldn't do a massive amount with it.
I really am no Tim fan, but he trains with Pat M and any1 that does that trains to handle themselves on the ground.
Brock needs experience and to be tested before you even think of throwing him at some1 like Timmy. The first guy he faced was a small HW with a losing record. Give Brock 3/4 fights to get settled in his game and to really learn how to adapt his impressive skill set into MMA success.
Once he's had these "warm up" fights, then hes ready to be tested against some1 like Tim but up until then he's still far too wet behind the ears to be able to dominate a former world champ, even if that is timmy.

I think Brock would brutalize Timmy the same if not worse than Randy did because of his superior strength.
However, I wouldn't put him against Nog or any of the other more experienced HW fighters at this point.
I just think Timmy is another big, lackluster fighter living off of size.

Brock shouldn't be thrown right in with Tim lets see how he does against Monson, or Vera someone that is a quick good striker, or a good BJJ guy.

He doesn't have a very well rounded game at all, but he does have alot of experience over Brock for what that would amount if Brock could get him down I think Tim would get destroyed, on the Monson note, Brock I gurantee is stronger, faster, and has ten times as much agility as Monson. But Brock needs to prove himself before he goes against a fromer champ, even if that champ is an baboon

Brock is a big dude and a great wrestler but he's a Tank Abbot but a wrestler. He will probably get a good fan base but i think he will be a highlight reel for Knockouts like abbot was. Sylvia would destroy him with a kick and his usual slurry of punches.
And how about Joe Rogans dumb ass getting his name wrong WTF he's such a fucking dumb ass.

I think Brock might be able to take some strikes after being so used to getting dropped on his head llike he was in the WWE, he might just be able to take the kick get the sinlge leg, and he probably is strong enough to pick Tim up, hell he used to carry the Big Show on his back and he ways over 500lbs.
