I'm a fan of both. I can't lose.
The chances of sober 50 year old Brock ragdolling HW 250lb DC are Slim to none, and Slim just left town.
You are kidding yourself if you take diviticulitis was not a factor.Same was said about him fighting Cain
Borck has a chance, like 100/1It's wonderful how people are selling Brock short on this one. Brock is twice of his size with significant strength advantage & underrated wrestling. His chance is legit and it's silly to count him out.
He’s also been on the sauce his entire career. Of course, as an obvious Brock fan you ignore that. He was legit granted an exemption through the USADA system so he could fight on short notice against Mark Hunt and failed as well. Brock didn’t stand and throw any significant strikes in that fight. DC has been in there with the best for a long time. You’re off your meds if you think Lesnar has a chance at beating DC. You know he hits just as hard as Cain.
It's partly a combination of both, but the parts where most nerve endings are based are way more susceptible. Like the chin or the temples.Nerve endings have nothing to do with knockouts. It's the movement of your brain inside your skull.
DC will move Bork Laser's brain and make it look relatively effortless.
Rewatch the Cain fight. It's a cliche, yeah, but Brock was winning that fight until he got knocked out. If he can just avoid getting knocked out, the fight is his to win.I for one will be salty.
I told all of my UFC casual buddies how mark hunt was going to knock Brock out, then watched hunt stand timidly infront of Brock for the whole fight waiting to get taken down. I was very embarrassed with the outcome of that fight lol
Dc should destroy Brock tho, I imagine it will look like Cain vs Brock except it might last longer.
Wtf are you talking aboutIt's partly a combination of both, but the parts where most nerve endings are based are way more susceptible. Like the chin or the temples.

randy wasn't his wrestling, it was his bjj. he lost control when he passed to mount. he was overaggressive both times he got randy to the mat, and he changed his strategy against mir.Brock's wrestling is actually pretty overrated. He couldn't control Randy, took down a half-dead Carwin, and laid on top of a broken Herring. The Hunt fight was decent, but other than that I struggle to think of an example of his wrestling being used proficiently. He has power by virtue of his size (though he is nowhere near twice Cormier's size), but his striking is pretty standard. Cormier is going to methodically take him apart.
Stopped reading when you said he is a better wrestler than DC. Don't be ridiculous.Don't know about "rag dolling" him, but I expect Lesnar to win if the fight happens. He's much bigger, stronger, probably faster (he's deceptively quick for his size), has better wrestling than Cormier and a much longer reach. Plus is DC really that much better of a striker? I would argue not.
The only intangible is what Brock will look like off the steroids, provided he doesn't find a way to outsmart USADA and come into the fight on 'em again anyway.

He threw a bunch of wild strikes, landed a takedown for 5 seconds, held Cain against the fence for a minute, 5 second takedown, then he got taken down, beaten up, and knocked out. There's only so much you can win in 4 minutes. I think Cormier is a better wrestler than Cain, so you're really hoping that the 10 pounds or so Cain would have been bigger on fight night than DC will be is the difference in Lesnar keeping him down.Rewatch the Cain fight. It's a cliche, yeah, but Brock was winning that fight until he got knocked out. If he can just avoid getting knocked out, the fight is his to win.
