Over the passed 2 weeks, since Lesnar's defeat at the hands of Cain Velasquez, for The UFC Heavyweight Title. There has been numerous rumors of who Lesnar's next opponent will be. Amongst the rumors of him facing The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27.
It has been said that the UFC itself, would like to have a rubber match, with Lesnar and Frank Mir. They have faced each other twice. They are tied at 1 win apiece.
The UFC believes this will be the best way to go financially. Both men would do a great job hyping this up, and UFC would definitely sell this one big.
But, it is being said that Lesnar's camp is calling for Brock to face Roy Nelson as his next opponent.
I am not too intrigued by Lesnar/Mir 3. Sure, it wouldn't be the worst fight. But, we basically know what we will get out of it. Lesnar will do what he did in the first 2 fights. He will take Mir down and pound the shit out of him. Lesnar has evolved enough to not get caught in another submission from Mir, like he did in their first meeting. But it seems like it will go more along the lines of their UFC 100 battle, where Lesnar pounded Mir into a TKO victory.
But, with Nelson being his opponent... Lesnar will have some more time on his feet. To work on his stand up game. He will definitely be able to take Nelson down, and that will be there the whole fight. But, Roy Nelson is a little more durable than Mir, so Lesnar might have to work much harder to finish him. Nelson is not as explosive as Carwin or Velasquez, so it will be a little less difficult for Lesnar to stand toe to toe and get some more stand up, in-cage, fight experience.
I for one, would prefer the Nelson match up for Lesnar. Even if the reason is to have a new challenger for Lesnar, it feels much more fresh than another fight against Mir.
So... Does anyone agree? Or would you rather see Lesnar face Mir again? OR... Would you rather see Lesnar face someone other than those 2? If so, who?
Or would you like to see Lesnar leave UFC and MMA all together, and return to WWE or TNA?
