Overeem vs Mir
Brock vs Schaub Big Nog winner

Possible, remember Nog requested Brock as an opponent for Brazil.

Schaub said he wants Brock after he beats Nog

That's what Carwin and Randy thought too

Are you honestly picking either Nog or Schaub to beat Brock? I'd be laying some heavy dough on that shit

Brock would destroy both of them.

Brock hasn't trained for a year, had baseline wrestling and athleticism that clearly can be expected to be fading with age and all his body has been through. Up and coming fast strikers with athletic hips like Schaub would kill him on his first fight back. Schaub might beat him at any point in his career.

Brendan Schaub isn't even any good right now. He may get there with his athleticism but it sure as hell isn't at this point. He looked like a turd against Mirko

Lol, at thinking Brendan can beat a fully healthy Brock. Brock would ruin him.

Bobbitt are we looking at the same fighter? I think Schaub is a future contender. His striking is fast and smooth. He moves his head and body. Athletic with a great camp. Mirko winning the stand up before being figured out and then being knocked out is nothing to write him off about. Mirko is one of the best pure strikers in the history of the sport. Schaub is very legit and could potentially be a champion. He's a better version of Meat.

I would actually like to see Mitrione vs Schaub.

Me too. I think Meat has the better chin though. Then again Roy Nelson hits like a brick shit house. Mostly because he literally is a brick shit house.

I met Overeem at Magic in Vegas. Nice guy. He said he was in negotiations with the UFC. Could be an interesting addition.

I think Meat and Schuab have equal short term potential, but I think Meat would beat him and is better right now. Schaub will likely be around longer and will eventually become better, he too is learning a lot. Mittrione always looks better each fight and I think he would of fared similarly to how Schaub has had he been giving Crop Cop, and I would of picked him to beat Nog like I did Schaub.

"If [a third Lesnar fight] works out, it works out. I just want to fight again, it doesn't matter who. [Fighting] Alistair Overeem would be pretty cool if he actually came over. I think he's a great fighter, I think he's done a lot in this sport, his K-1 accomplishments, I think he's an immediate threat. I'd like to test myself against him."
