Brock Lesnar "The Next Big Thing?"

In the aftermath of Brock Lesnar's defeat of an aging 45 year old Randy Couture the mantle of the face of the UFC has been placed on his large shoulders. He is the type of athlete that the UFC can build their brand around with an acting background from his days in pro wrestling's WWE and his 6'3" 280 lb+ size. Let's face it size matters in the ring and in the consciousness of the public who likes their champios to look big and mean. The only thing that Lesnar lacks is experience. He is just 4 fights into his UFC career and will face the winner of the Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir bout. The much smaller Mir, a submission artist, beat Lesnar with an armbar in their last matchup his only loss. Nogueira a veteran of 36 bouts also has the experience to beat Lesnar. In either matchup Lesnar would attempt to utilize his superior size and athleticism to win. In my opinion Mir and Nogueira represent the best chance to take his title. While none of the other UFC heavyweights has the right blend of size and submission skills to pull it off Affliction champ Fedor Emelianenko does. Sadly this bout will not happen.
