I think the next logical fight for Brock is to fight Kongo

I think they will give him Kongo. I would like to see him fight Gonzaga, it would be a good indication to tell if he has been working on his sub defense. I think he would beat both of these guys.

Sanchez Or McCully , give him someone to him that he can build on and get some more experience so he gets comfortable in there. Also gives him a chance to do things he is jut learning (Striking, subs ) becuase against higher level Opponents he cant test those waters or else he'd risk loosing the fight big time.
But I feel the UFC will give him Kongo, a guy who amongst the contenders (low level contender), but Its a guy that plays fight into his game (bad ground game)....Should be a win for him if he were to fight Kongo, but again he wouldnt be able to test his skills as far as striking goes, which would show he how far he has come and what specific areas he needs to work on. With an opponent like this (dangerous standing) he'd have to use what he is already good at, therefore probably not gaining as much experience.

I see what your saying, but I don't think Brock will test any of those skills with anyone. If he can, he will rush in and take his opponent down, control them, and use GnP to get a win. I don't think there is really anyone who can stop his takedown in the HW division. I think if he fought Nog, he would let Brock take him down, and submit him from his back.

I'd rather him fight Cain Velasquez so he can get his takedowns stuffed, reversed, and feel the pain! However I think Cain is fighting Hardonk sometime soon.

Its clear he would demolish anyone on that list, but my vote was for Kongo. That fight hypes itself.

kongo makes the most sense, they can't give brock a can after beating on herring. gabriel gonzaga is another interesting scenario.

I went with Coleman... the matchup seems to make the most sense to me... And could solidify Brock in a lot of fans' eyes because I'm sure they could hype the Coleman HOF thing...
Either that or McCully... Someone that's got a good ground game, but is still beatable... Not that I think they're protecting Brock, but just that he's still green and should be taken along slowly...
Just to add, I'd like to see Kongo fight Eddie Sanchez... I think Sanchez would knock him out

well he just beat HH so give him Kongo, he should destroy him, Kongo have little ground game , and Brock would be to strong and to powerful for him

it just all depends on whose career the ufc wants to push...if you want to push brock up against guys that well only bolster his highlight reel, then give him mccully or sanchez. or hardonk....if you want to give him a guy that could push him up the ranks and closer to a title shot give him kongo or even coleman, keep in mind kongo has better wrestling than heath herring, but unless he connects with a big shot, then brock beats both these guys...coleman could almost go in the same company as the highlight reel guys....then lastly if you want him to be exposed as a young pup in the game, and get the hype train knocked down a bit, then give him gonzaga....gonzaga is big and strong enough to be able to do what he needs to do on the ground (by know means am i saying hes stronger tho) to put brock in sticky situations, i think his ground game is even better than mirs...and his striking is good, even great for a heavy and more technical and pinpoint but just as powerful as herrings, so he could drop him too....on a side note, i would love to see the cain fight, but cain i think would expose lesnar, those asu wreslters are on a whole nother level when adapting to mma and lesnar wont be able to match

Hulk Hogan, then The Undertaker, then Kane, then he gets a shot at the vacant hardcore belt versus Stone Cold.
