One of those two has shown that he is far more ready for "prime time" than the other.

One of those 2 also had 25 years of wrestling experience though. And 4 years at the absolute highest level of collegiate wrestling.
Believe me, without that crazy wrestling background, Brock trades win and loses.
With it though, I see him dominating everyone.

I don`t know what to think about the fight honestly. I wanted Roy to win, and expected him to. But he really didn`t impress me all that much. He really did no damage whatsoever to Slice. He just got him, twice, into a position to where Kimbo couldn`t do anything. A crucifix from the top I guess. The way Roy had him, he COULDN`T do any real damage, because he really couldn`t land any big damaging shots due to Kimbo being so far underneath his, um, big stomach I guess. It was stopped because Kimbo couldn`t advance his position more so than the damage he was taking. I seen Roy was acting like a ******* after the fight like he completely destroyed Kimbo, which he didn`t. Anyone with half of Roys ground game could control Kimbo from the top like he did. I didn`t see it, but I guess Dana killed Roy after the fight too.

I have to ask you,do you mean dominate everybody in the ufc? Or do you believe he would dominate Fedor?

I believe Brock has as good a shot of defeating Fedor as anyone on the planet. Not saying he would, just saying if anyone has a shot, it`s him. Can`t think of one heavyweight in the UFC, or any other organization around the world who has a definetivly better shot at Fedor than Lesnar. Overeem doesn`t, neither does Rogers, or anyone else I can think of. Ty may put me in the know of some Asian heavyweights who may pose a better threat to Fedor though. But me personally, I can`t think of anyone.

The World wants to find out, Fedor does not.

Again, not to say that Fedor would lose, it's just extremely doubtful that we see this match-up.

I am optimistic that we will see Lesnar vs Fedor. I just fear it may come too late. I want to see them against each other asap. I can wait the 3 fights Fedor has with Strikeforce. I believe that is the extent of his contract.

I mean the UFC.
Dont know about Fedor. He doesnt fight often enough for me to see him on his game 2 - 3 times a year. Literally, the man could be washed up before his next fight and no one would know.
I would say Brock has a 60-40 chance of beating Fedor right now and that just increases every day that goes by!

Roy Nelson's thoughts:

"First round was 44 punches to the face, and then Herb Dean doesn't know how to ref, but we've seen that before," Nelson told USA Today. "And then the next round was 22 punches. You could even see me yelling at Herb Dean, 'Come on, ref.' … But the thing is, there's a lot of people, there's a lot of money … So I think it was more that Herb Dean was afraid to lose his job, because there's a lot of people with a lot of money that can have a lot of influence with his career."

Nelson is an idiot. Gotta love this gem from him:

But Nelson said he and Slice became friends on the show, and talked that it was more likely and better for Slice to drop to light heavyweight.

“He’s talking about going to 205,” said Nelson. “At heavyweight, he really doesn’t have a chance as we’re a little more well-rounded than the 205 pounders”

I don't think Kimbo has a chance at any level of the UFC to succeed. Of course, "success" isn't what always will get someone into the UFC or keep them there.

Kimbo will sell well for at least two fights. If he gets annihilated, then almost all of the "star" will have gone dim.

Man every time this ****** Nelson opens his mouth I hate him more and more. That's the dumbest thing I've read. 205 in the UFC is the most stacked division in all of MMA.

I think Roy has the `big man on campus` attitude, knowing he is the most experienced mixed martial artist in the house, and odds are Big Country is going to win, and he knows that........or at least he thinks so. And he should.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that we've all seen Nelson fight better than he did in that Kimbo fight...yet we haven't seen Kimbo fight any better. In fact, the only thing that we know about Kimbo is that he has some knockout power.
