Thoughts on him? Who he should fight next? How far will he travel?
I think Kongo would be a good opponent but I want to see what some of the folks here would have to say.

I think he's going to run through anyone with no wrestling defense and no ground offense, which is pretty much everyone who isn't in the top four, I think anyone that relies on wrestling will lose to him too, like Jake O'Brien and possibly Carwin and Valasquez
I think from Gonzaga to Nogueira he's screwed, but I think outside of those guys he will do well, I don't see the UFC bringing in anybody good for a while, Brock came in while the HW division is ripe for the picking.

I think Kongo will be an easy fight for Brock. I also think Gonzaga may get overwhelmed by him as he like to start slow and Brock is all offense. Pa Da Peno might be a sleeper to beat Brock and the top 3 will probably beat him.

Nog, Mir, Gonzaga all beat him in the first round. I think that Cain Velasquez will be able to beat him, also.
But other than that? No one in the UFC.

I don't think Gonzaga could beat him. Only Mir, Nog, and Velaquez. I think he's got a shot against those guys if he lands some strikes, that's all he needs due to all his power. Well, except Nog.

I can see Lesnar beating the top three or four easily. I can see him Lay 'n Praying them to pull out a decision victory.
Had Lesnar not been super aggressive trying to knock Mir out, I think he would have won that fight.

Had Lesnar not been super aggressive trying to knock Mir out, I think he would have won that fight. Lesnar might be able to lay on Gonzaga or Werdum, those guys are a little flaky, but Nog would submit him, and I would never bet money that a 2-1 guy can lay on top of two of the best submission fighters without getting submitted Right now, all I see from Lesnar is a stronger version of Jake O'Brien, he hasn't really shown anything other than that he can lay on top of Herring for three rounds, O'Brien already did that, and look what happened to him.

If Lesnar did that in his third fight, with the controling of Herring and the damage he did, I think he has alot of potential. Brock really is a worker and he seems to take this seriously. I think Brock will have a bright future.

He has strength and takedowns that are UNMATCHED in MMA.

Gonzaga would NOT beat Lesnar at this moment and time.
The fact that I'm not sure about Couture says it all. A legend in the sport, and I'm not sure he could beat Lesnar.
Big Nog would be the favourite in a five round fight, but uh. I don't know. Maybe I'm in love with the hype.
