It was great to hear that Brock Lesnar is coming to the UFC. I watched Brock when he was in the WWE & although i know it was fake i was still impressed by his strength & his the way he trained. It will be interesting to see how he goes in the UFC & to see how far he can go. I think he will do fine & am looking forward to seeing him display his power & strength in the cage.
As his motto says in WWE: "Here Comes The Pain

".

Although I do not know too much about Brock-To make the transition from comedy wrestling to MMA is an about a bigger step up than anything I can think of.

Without a doubt he is a greta physical specimin but as we have seen time and time again you need a lot more than that.

I was originly going to post a negative comment but then I remembered that a certain Ken Shamrock managed to change from comedy to serious and did alright..

Yes I know that the comparison is not strictly true but give me a break...) think we can all predict how this is going to pan out

Yeah, me too britfist, I am a bit aprehenesive to welcome an ex wwe "champ" into ufc but his first fight looked pretty impressive.
"Bring the pain" I dont know about that!!
Give him Cro-Cop and lets see what he's got!

Being the WWE champion really just means that a particular pro-wrestler has reached the very top of marketability. It means that (heel or hero) that pro-wrestler has become the top talen to bring in the fans. And, that has a lot to do with talent both physically and as a character. Ken Shamrock and Brock Lesnar both played characters in the WWE that were highly marketable.

And, I think that will play heavily into what we see from Brock Lesnar. He is a highly marketable personality, much like Tito Ortiz and many others. People will want to see them. But, unlike pro-wrestling, Brock Lesnar has to prove that he provide the most important aspect of MMA marketability: mixed martial arts SKILLS. We have only seen one (K-1) fight from Lesnar. Now, he will have to prove that he can move up the ranks just like everybody else.

And, Lesnar will not be fighting Cro-Cop or any other top ranked UFC HW fighter in the near future. Do not expect that for a few years yet. Dana White said that he has 250 MMA fighters under contract. That is a huge talent pool to draw from to give Lesnar appropriate challenges.

Hes not just a "comedy" wrestler hes also a world class wrestler and we all know what they have done in the cage.Also they are MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller then brock the guy looks like hes got roids shooting into his veins 24/7 and hes clean.

For some reason I don't think he will do too well in the UFC. Yes, he's a freak of nature, but like someone mentioned earlier it will take more then size to be a top fighter.

ken shamrock started as a mma fighter, then took a break to do pro wreslting, then came back to mma so not quite the same.

I believe Brock is going to "Bring The Pain" to a lot of UFC HW fighters. His size and aggression dwarfs that of pretty much all the other HW's. Not too mention his wrestling (not WWE style, Collegiate Style) skills are the best the UFC has seen. Unless this guy has a glass jaw, I don't see many HW's giving him too much trouble.

I have heard enough of the Brock hype. Not excited at all to see him fight.

Mate do me a favour I am well aware of how Ken Shamrocks career panned out hence the hint of irony at the bottom of my post
It was an attempt at humour that obviously fell flat with your goodself.I can only hope that I will amuse your goodself at a later date.....
