GG is the toughest opponent for him and I would want to see how he defends the sub attempts. Brock is rediculous. I recant. I don't like him but who can stop him? Certainly not Kongo. We will see...

I want it to be against fellow wrestler, in Cain Velesquez. Cain is a good wrestler and has a great stand up game. I would love to see him lay some leather on Brocks face. Just to see how Lesnar reacts , he really hasnt been hit much in his UFC career.

I don't understand why people want to see him fight kongo. I'm pretty sure everyone knows exactly how that match will go. What's the point? Give him someone who has a chance against him and who can give him some kind of trouble so that he's able to learn. Lesnar vs Kongo is a pointless fight IMO.

Generally when you win you step UP in competition, not DOWN.

They need someone to test his chin... We already know his ground game leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe if CC got his shit together, he could come back and fight him. If Vera hadn't dropped down, that would've been a nice match up, too.

problem is they aren't going to be able to test his chin unless they put him up against a striker with good takedown defense or POSSIBLY a strong JJ fighter who would encourage brock to stand for fear of being submitted. Kongo isn't going to be able to test his chin because he'll never get off of the mat. I think GG has a better skillset to test him in all areas, ground and standing.

Vera would get handled by him just for the fact he probably outweighs him by 50 lbs.

Coleman let build up a few wins before putting in deep end of the pool again

I think his next fight should be against Kongo, but they will proboably put him against Coleman just so he can smash Coleman and then they'll talk about how coleman is such a legend in the sport and how this is a huge win for brock, when everyone knows how far coleman is past his prime, but the ufc will do anything to make brock look like the best thing out there.

I think Kongo or Gonzaga would be good matchups for him especially because they both came off of a recent win.(Gonzaga def. McCully UFC 86)
(Kongo def. Dan Everson UFC 87)

UFC wants to build Lesnar up. Kongo is a very credible opponent in the eyes of the UFC. Kongo is also being kind of stupid lately with his post fight shenanigans. Lesnar will destroy Kongo. Builds up Lesnar and Brings kongo back to Earth...its a double win situation.

Perfect fight. Perfect.

This is how I would handle brocks next 4 fights remaining on his contract.

vs. Kongo (Instant credibility)
vs. Coleman (super match, lots of PPV buys)
vs. Shancez (at a fight night to showcase Lesnar for free w/o hurting anybody)
vs. Verdum/Mir (for number one contenders spot)

Sign new contract (Title Shot @ Nog)
