Would Cormier/Lesnar have been better or worse than Jones/Miocic?

[Only Here for Attachments]

This was Fatso's big retiree-money-fight back in the day, complete with a scripted pro wrestling angle to promote it! Fan sentiment was largely "This is great, Daniel is such a nice guy and deserves this so so much!" but how would the actual fight have gone?

Size difference was huge so DC's best bet was probably to swing for the KO?

That would also be shit, if you want your money fight that's cool but don't hold up the division with it
At least DC did eventually fight a contender in Stipe with a rematch, however it did take a while for it to be booked due to Brock being very on/off with his comeback and DC dealing with a back injury

However if you want a money fight against someone who shouldn't be close to a title fight in your division, vacate the belt and make it happen without a title on the line
At the end of the day though, the UFC is the main one to blame for letting shit like this happen since they're in full control of the matchmaking

I think dc out wrestles and out works him to a TKO in the fourth

DC would have been even larger in waist and taste after some good Brock money!!!

Some will prob call it a hot take but I think their wrestling is closer than people want to admit.

Brock was just as successful, if not more, at the D1 collegiate level, has one D1 2nd place and one D1 1st place to DC's one 2nd place finish. DC had slightly better results at the JuCo level than Brock.

Their big difference is Brock then followed the money, instead of the Olympic route DC went.

DC prob pieces him up on the feet though.

Cormier probably would have played it smart ealry with Brock and then would have slowly destroyed him.

Lol Cormier was so excited to win Brock's universal tomato championship

Dispite how good DC is as a wrestler, Brock is too big strong and athletic to get thrown around. Style wise Brock is a bad matchup for DC. Both are equally good in my opinion. But a more evenly matched fight is Stipe and Jones.

DC by TKO, i'm a big daddy Lesnar fan

I think it would have been closer but Cormier definitely wins that fight.

I’m still disappointed that Dc vs Brock never happened , DC beating the shit out of Brock would have been an amazing spectacle

I loved Brock but he had like 25 minutes of MMA experience. He won fights because he was a freak athlete..
