Five Fighters That Could Beat Brock Lesnar Today

Pardon me if I am not that impressed with the current UFC Heavyweight Champ. To me he's kind of the UFC version of Kimbo Slice.

I firmly believe that the UFC is going in the wrong direction, and its all because of Dana White and his stupid match-ups.

In any event here are five guys that could beat Brock Lesnar today. Except for maybe Frank Mir, I doubt that Dana will risk losing his new toy to any of them soon - in other words hes gonna do a Don King routine and protect his fighter the way he does Silva.

1. Frank Mir

Frank beat him once and he will beat him again unless Dana puts something in his water. It looks like an inevitable match-up anyway because of the reality show. Seems Dana put himself into a corner with this one. Lets see how he gets out of it.

2. Bobby Hoffman

This one wont ever happen of course because Bobby is a serious knucklehead and doesn't fit Dana's image of what a fighter should be. Regardless, he would kick the crap out of Brock Lesnar.

3. James Thompson

One of my favorite fighters, I can't figure out why this guy doesn't get a shot in the UFC. He beat Kimbo - we all saw it- and he was a good draw in Pride so give him a shot. I think he would knock the garbage out of Brock. Maybe that's why we don't see him there.

4. Brandon Vera

I think moving down in weight was a bad move for this guy. He should get back up to about 230. He would submit Brock from his back. Dana won't put Brock up against any Jui-Jitsu guys tho unless he has to—like he will have to with Frank.

5. Gabriel Gonzaga

This would also be a quickie. I think its pretty obvious that Brock would get busted up and busted up early against this monster. Won't see that fight anytime soon either.

Mirco would probably wipe the floor with Brock and so would Kongo. The list goes on and on—who is this guy gonna fight? If he miraculously survives Frank—who is Dana gonna get to fight him so that he can remain the champ?
