Maybe not the best day for a serious thread, but how would Brock have done against other HW legends?

[BigMuffler]

Despite the poor image many people have of him, Brock did respectably against the big names he faced, losing to Cain and Overeem but defeating Couture, Mir and Hunt (although he also lost to Mir the first time). How would he have fared against the following guys prime vs prime?

Brock

vs

Sylvia
Arlovski
Barnett
Crocop
JDS
Big Nog
Werdum
Fedor

 

[Sansnom]

I don't know

 

[myjohnson9]

He would have gotten hit, and turtled up

 

[Gutter Chris]

He woulda smashed fedor leading to half these posters here cutting themselves

Why do people think Brock beats JDS. JDS destroys him.

how would he lose to cro cop but beat JDS

 

[Gambit MMA]

he can beat all of them with JDS being the toughest cuz of the striking/TDD. cro cop has the same tools but he was much smaller in his prime then juiced up JDS. he was 215-230 lean while jds was ripped 6'4 235-245. not saying CC couldnt sprawl but brock has a big size advantage

 

[Soul On Ice]

how would he lose to cro cop but beat JDS

Cro Cop can manage the distance better, stay at kicking range and therefore see the shot coming sooner
He's also more willing to lead, I feel JDS would do what he always does, be on the backfoot and look to time a counter.

 

[wilKO]

I'm thinking the same thing. JDS had excellent TDD and would murder Brock on the feet. Strange.

 

[mirror45]

He would lost to all since he’s a wwe actor

 

[firstroundpick]

Sylvia W
Arlovski W
Barnett W
Crocop L
JDS W
Big Nog W
Werdum L
Fedor L

IMO

nog and barnett would sub him

It depends on what sort of match they had.
Hell in a cell, ladder match, are steel chairs allowed?

Prime Lesner was a fake wrestler wasn't he?

If it's MMA he'd have any wins overturned after failing a drugs test anyway.

 

[Mr Moist]

He has a chance against Sylvia and Arlovski, but I don’t see him beating any of the others. Brock’s best chance to win will always be his wrestling. He doesn’t have good enough striking/striking defense, or the submission game to beat any of the elite fighters.
He’s probably competent enough on the feet to hang with big Tim, but that’s probably it. Cro Cop and JDS would crush him on the feet, and I could even see prime Nog and Barnett boxing him up, and he wouldn’t survive on the ground if he took it there, same with Werdum. He has the best chance to decision Sylvia, or possibly clip Arlovski. Everyone else would be too well rounded and would be able to neutralize his wrestling with better striking and submission grappling.
