What happens to Lesnar-Reem loser?

It was mentioned on here and I see it on most MMA sites right now. Both men have been viewed as overrated over the years. If Brock loses he will be 34 years old, loaded and not worthy of top 10 consideration. Reem hasn't been the most active fighter(MMA fights) over the recent years and his ranking would also plummet if he loses. The loser looks to be in a very bad situation.
Here is one of the articles on this subject.

Interesting theory out there. Brock is on the end of the year show, which typically draws in nice #s. So he is getting 1 last pay day and at the same time being used as a spring board to introduce Reem to the American public. Brock talks a good game and can sell a fight.

either guy is still a name and at worst will still be top 20.

Everybody looks shaky after a loss. And winner will be a pretty universal top 3. So I won't put too much weight into a loss from either guy.

Winner becomes #3 I can go for that. Loser falls hard, maybe harder than they really should. It will depend on how the fight goes. I think it will actually be pretty disappointing for many, a quick one.

Im much hoping for a quick fight. Little interest in seeing a gassed reem getting put on his back.

I think it will be quicker than JDS vs Cain but not as out of nowhere sudden

I have to assume u expect a quick KO from Reem. I can see Brock pummelling Reem, but that prob takes a bit longer then one minute.

And I'd be cool with a quick Reem KO. Def not a dissapointing ending.

Either guy that loses would still be a top 10 guy based off who can beat who. Brock loses but Mir is top 10 all of a sudden? Eff that. Brock or Reem losing is still in my top 10.

+1

Not sure if Brock would keep fighting

Dana would make him an offer he couldn't refuse, or try to I'm sure.

I dunno, loser of 2 straight, 18 months since his last win(a fight in which he was getting blasted), a total of 5 wins on his ledger? I know heavy is still getting sorted out, but there does need to be some level of accomplishment to earn a top 10, no?

And if he goes in there and gets dropped quick?

I don't know...UFC has given Michael Vick permission to handle the losers anyway he see's fit.

like others have said based on who can beat who either one who loses should still be in the top ten. Werdm n mir are in most top ten and those have loses to tonights fighters. Yes the loses wer a while back but neither would be able to avenge their loses. Loser falls to the bottom top ten, 7 or 8. No biggie. Given the right fights they can climb back up. In the end both would lose to cain,jds n probably cormier but would so have a chance against the rest

Exactly! I'm glad you smelled what I was cookin there Cap.

I genuinely thought if Brock lost he might be tempted to hang them up.

What ya think now? Maybe?

Lesnar losses. I would drop him to around 20 at HW if he was still fighting. Mid to lower level of the dudes they got at Zuffa today.

so brock says if he had won he would of went for the belt and then would of retired. If your not in it to defend that belt for while GTFO. Props to him for doing pretty good on only a few years training but come on man.

I wonder if Brock would even be capable of beating the likes of Kongo now.

He just wilts way too easily for a guy that size.

I think it's pretty clear that Brock was overhyped, but last night at least we need to factor in that Brock was fighting with one foot in the cage, and one foot in retirement.

He was never the same after surgery.
