I have a feeling Brock will be on the next London UFC card, he's a big name and will definitely sell tickets, I just hope it's not in the main event because us UK fans have been getting pretty average cards recently and IMO are due a big title fight.

I doubt he'll fight in the UK, he is too big of a draw in the US. alot of people in the US dont like paying tape delay PPV, so it'd certainly bring the PPV numbers down from what they would be in the US/Canada. + UFC 89 is in the UK which is coming up, so It'll be a while before the UFC goes back to the UK (i'd say early 09')
If the rumors of the Canada show on december are true, I think they could put him on that card to bring the PPV #'s up since it would most likely be on a friday (cant book the arena for saturday because of hockey apparently).....The gate numbers would probably be huge again, and with GSP/Serra doing 650k PPV buys, I think a second who would do very well again. If they decide not to do it, I think they'll bump him for the the last show.

I just hope he's not headlining. The more I think about it, the more unimpressed I am with him. He just doesn't know how to finish, and he really didn't do much after the first punch but hold Herring down.
I'm interested in seeing him again, but he just doesn't excite me as a headliner.

his last fight he turned into a decision fighter. I don't think he'll stay like that. He likes too put on too much of a show to keep winning these decisions. I hope he fights Kongo. Kongo will lose 95% of the time, but just that 5% chance of Kongo putting Lesnar on his ass makes me happy. I didn't always hate Lesnar (never respected him i'll admit). He didn't need to push Herring and show boat.

please dont make kongo vs lesnar, it will be just like the herring vs lesnar fight or brock will just dominate enough to a tko.
Plus Kongo I dont think he will accept the fight, taking a fight against lesnar i bet feels like a step down for him.
