To fight Lesnar?



Absolutely. I've been tryin to think of who'd be a good opponent for Lesnar, and really, outside of Machida now, and possibly lashley in a couple of yearsish... I don't see anyone who could beat him. But I'll tell ya, for a pure MMA fan who may... feel that Brock discredit's the sport by being champion with such little diversity in his game... the perfect opponent is Machida. A Karate master who uses smarts and technical skill vs the all out brawler. It seems almost too perfect, but I think Dana would be awfully hesitant to pull the trigger on that one.

Its not about pulling the trigger on a fight like that.....its the same story with silva and gsp. One person either has to drop down or move up. Brock moving down won't happen and Machida wouldn't be as effective if he moved up.

Dana says he likes superfights and whatnot, but just as it is with GSP and Silva, I don't think he'd sign off on this fight until both guys have essentially cleaned out there respective divisions, and that could take ahwile... I just remember Lyoto saying he wanted a chance to fight lesnar, and thinking about it, it really is a perfect match. Big, Strong, Fast VS Tactful, Smart, Skillful. The monster vs the purist so to speak. Coupled with the fact that I just don't see any legitimate competition for lesnar... But the weight would certainly be interesting, Lyoto would give up a good 70-80+ pounds come fight time...

Not happening unless UFC does its own Grand Prix ala Pride.

I think down the line I would love to see a Silva vs Machida. That would be interesting, but we'll see how Machida pans out as champ first.
