War Brock.
 
Can you see me now?
 
As much as I dislike him it's warranted.

He has putrid striking fundamentals, but the insane fear of being taken down he puts in his opponents heads more than make up for that. Most fighters are going to be too afraid to engage exactly like hunt was.

I think Cain, JDS, Overeem, and Werdum whoop hip his ass. I think Rothwell, Stipe and Barnett probably beat him, but after that I think he's a clear favorite over the rest of the field.
 
Im a brock fan but he wont beat anyone at the top 5. He should just use this to negotiate for a better contract at the WWE
 
Brawk will make it to #1, and become the GOAT since everyone else CHEATS and uses PED's.

Yea agree with all of this. One thing I will add though is his leg kicks were pretty damn good. I was shocked he looked like a pro mma fighter throwing those leg kicks.
 
I think it's deserved, Hunt was ranked 8th before the fight. Still impressed by what he was able to do after 5 years away from the sport. There's only one Brock Lesnar.
 
Completely fair.

It's shocking how thin the heavyweight division is - you have a handful of very talented, well rounded fighters in the top 5, then its a pretty steep decline. The guys outside the top 10 are nowhere near as skilled as their counter parts in other divisions.

Josh Barnett at 10 is better than whomever is ranked 10th in LHW or MW

Honestly, he'd beat 5-7 more times than not.

I was gonna say the same thing. He'd take AA down with ease and smash him. Ben is a tough MF'er on the ground and has slick submissions. He'd hang in there with Brock. Travis could be dangerous with the knees and elbows when Brock shoots in for a takedown simple b/c of his size and leverage, but once Brock has him down he'd smash him I think.
 
Well, considering it only feels like there are 10-15 active fighters in the HW division, it's not like he's jumping in line. Honestly, that's about where I'd put him.
 
Lesnar can beat any HW on any given day, due to the unusual combination of his size and athleticism. But his lack of skill ensures that he cant consistently do it ALL of the time. Lesnar is a terrible fighter to bet on as a favorite and a great fighter to bet on as an underdog.
 
Let me just point out- Anyone discrediting Brock can suck my ass. Seriously. The guy was out for 5 years,had 5 weeks training camp and dominated Mark fuckin Hunt while everyone was saying he will get knocked out. Hate on WWE all you want,I don't like it much either. But the man is a phenomenal fighter. I can't say for sure he will beat any of the top 5 but I think saying he has no chance is just blind hate.

Most definitely. Watch out for Francis Ngannou though. I think he'll be top 10 by year's end. And top 5 by 2018.
