- Former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (5-2) took a beating at the hands of new champion Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 last month, but he’s already looking ahead to his next fight in the octagon.
According to f4wonline.com, Lesnar his sights set on the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights, Roy “Big Country Nelson (15-5). Nelson is known for his large gut and not looking like a world class MMA fighter, but he's won over UFC fans with his striking power and ability to take punches.
Nelson was set to fight Shane Carwin at UFC 125, but Carwin had to pull out of the fight, leaving Nelson off that show.
Despite the fact that Lesnar has asked Dana White for a fight with Nelson, there are still may in the UFC who see big money in a third and final fight between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir (14-5).
Mir tapped Lesnar out in Lesnar’s UFC debut back in February 2008. Lesnar returned the favor at UFC 100 back in June 2009, smothering Mir with his wrestling / ground-and-pound offense, unifying the UFC heavyweight title.
After he lost, the Lesnar vs. Mir 3 popped into my head. Nelson has good striking power, but terrible cardio. If Brock did not improve at all, before he fought Nelson, he would still have better cardio then Nelson. | |

| I don't really think he has terrible cardio, he just got hit in the face too much his last time out. It's kind of like Stephan Bonnar, after getting hit a lot, he'll still come forward and attack you in a semi-sluggish fashion, but he'll always be game to fight and doesn't gas like say a Mark Coleman. | |
