Good point McRae as usual.
I'm speaking as a fight geek who had his first fight in 1993. So my perspective and opinion are biased.
As for "where" the big guys are. Well...
There are a lot of gym out there, that have some VERY talented big guys. Lesnar got shown for what he was. A marketing tool. He was big, he brought a brief flash in the pan. Then a talented fighter fixed that.

I see Carwin taking Cains belt after he wins gainst Roy Nelson...but whom knows Roy just doesnt get KO...hes a machine lol
#54
Brock still under UFC contract...he is not going to WWE anytime soon or ever...he most deff not done...hes ONE win away from another title shot...theyll hand him the loser of the JDS vs Cain fight and hell win...most garanteed of it...

I disagree. With some more technique training, I think he could be great. That is, if he learns to take a punch as others have mentioned.
#56
On another note thinking of whom Brock should fight next to get him back into the mix...a Lesnar vs Mir 3 doesnt sound so bad atm...
#58
I think a Lesnar vs Mir rematch would probably just go the same way as their last fight did. For me, Lesnar has to prove he can beat a legitimate stand up guy before I throw him in there against Velasquez or Carwin again.
Cro Cop vs. Lesnar might not be bad.
JDS Vs. Velasquez should be a good fight.

Yes 5 and 2, he is totally over rated! You act like he beat a bunch of chumps! He beat 2 ex champs... Just like I mentioned in previous post, people will always hate on the 400lb gorilla... Kobe, LeBron, Arod, Shaq,etc... No matter what they do, when they win people will make excuses and when they lose people will "tear" them apart.

That is the crux of this thing with Lesnar. Throw him in against grapplers, and he's got a great shot.
Throw him against a big grappler, who can throw bombs, he's toast. It really is that simple! And the last two fights have shown that. The bell saved him on Carwin, because he TOTALLY fell apart. Then he was able to take down, lay on, and submit an exhausted fighter who just kicked his ass.
Then CV decimated him.
