Who is the better MMA fighter, Curtis Blaydes or diverticulitis-free Brock Lesnar?

[20falarVerdades]

I think Brock Lesnar definitely has the edge in the wrestling department, whereas Blaydes
is the more well rounded martial artist. Despite looking more well rounded, Blaydes was almost knocked out cold by Mark Hunt, meanwhile Brock dominated the Samoan with ease, never looking in danger.
It is clear to me that Brock is the more effective fighter inside the octagon. Even though his striking looks awkward, it is enough to get the job done and to complement his high level wrestling. I think that, at least for now, prime Brock is the better fighter

i guess diverticulitis-free, but motivated, and beardless Brock Lesnar would be better

 

[Slatersan]

I want to say mma is so much more evolved now but i have no confidence in making that claim.

 

[DS66]

I'll take juiced to the tits Brock 10/10 times

 

[blaseblah]

I would have Blaydes beating the crap out of a prime Lesnar.

Thing is that Brock was on every steroid on the planet earth regime... even in the second Hunt fight. Dude gives no shit.

Also I think Blaydes is still far away from his prime... both athletic and skill. The guy will be a champion at least once in his career.

you know, pre-div..Lesnar is really hard to assess in a way, but I think Brock's chin isn't as bad as people make it out to be. When you are someone like Brock, it would be little silly to how tough that guy is, and I don't think his striking is as bad as people make him out to be either.

Diverticulitis is a disease symptomatic of heavy steroid use, therefore Brock is just a juice monkey.

False, Cain is the only HW alive who can outwrestle Brock. Jon Jones too but he's a LHW

 

[Coolkid666]

Brock learned alot since he left, had good movement and range awareness against Hunt lol. Hope he fights again soon, I just read that he needs to enter the "testing pool"

True but the man also ate nothing but beef jerky pretty much LMAO

Yeah, his chin isn’t actually bad, he just SUPER hates getting hit, clearly can’t deal with it at all.

Honestly, I think Borks biggest downside is his takedown, he just bullrushes forward for miles away, and I think if he mixed it up a bit he’d be a monster.
Edit: he’d have been *more* of a monster

 

[Plissken]

Brock, easily. Blaydes doesn't have much of a ground game when he actually completes a td.

 

[LMP]

I don't know, but let's just have them fight now. We will just claim the winner would have always been the best. Sounds fun to me.

[Mondo Freaks]

Brock for now but Blaydes is still working his way up and has a good chance of having a better career than Brock.

doesn't mean blaydes doesn't win easy.

 

[MMA SCOUT]

Blaydes would have smashed Brock, w or without PEDS, dude had 0 striking and would run for takedowns eg his Heath fight

Blaydes is grossly overrated. Brock would do whatever he wanted to him. and Cain struggled to keep brock off his hips and he's a much better wrestler and clinch fighter. Plus brock looked like shit in that fight.
