|  How many wins does Lesnar need to get a title shot?
I wouldn't be suprised if Dana gave Brock a title shot if he beats Mir and one other decent HW in his second UFC fight. After Werdum gets his shot, who else would be in line to fight for the belt?

If he beats Mir in an exciting fashion i can see dana giving him a title shot, especially if Tim wins against Nog and then Werdum, Dana is going to want someone that can go in and push tim around and i can see Brock being that guy. Depending on the times between title fights i can see brock be given a guy that dana knows he can be. Brock is a big draw because of his WWE backround so the quicker he is in the Title picture the more money for dana

No way would he get a shot from beating Mir. If he does win, he will likely face somebody like Hardonk or Sanchez, who poses a pit more of a striking risk. If he wins that one, then I see him facing a guy like Gonzaga, Vera, or Kongo.
If that is the progression and he wins all in convincing fashion, I could see him possibly getting a title shot at that time or at least a number one contender fight.
The earliest would be with a 4-0 or 5-0 record.

IMO CC comes back and dominates the HW division

Even if he destroys Mir with a takedown & tapout in the first20 seconds of the fight, he still has to earn that shot just like everyone else does, which means another few legitimate wins (I.E. no cans).
And I like Brock Lesnar..but respect must be earned.

Before Brock-A-Mania officially kicks in, he needs to get a win over Frank Mir.
I don't even want to think about a title shot at this point. Based on freak victories I've seen over the last year I know anything can happen and I assume nothing.
I like both fighters and made my prediction but have been proven brutally wrong before.

I'd rather see a helathy Mir back in the title picture anyway. I hope he gives Brock his first true JJ lesson.

It depends on who Lesnar faces.
If Lesnar goes 3-0 or 4-0 against top competition, he deserves a shot (like anyone else would).
I don't think Lesnar will get passed Mir though
