Rumor: Brock Lesnar’s Rumored Opponent Could Be Jon Jones

I know this particular site tends to be a throw a bunch of random rumors on the board and see what sticks but thought I'd share anyway.

The fight doesn't make sense to me.

Makes no sense but I would def watch. Jones doesnt have that lights out power and with that Brock could steam roll him.

Under K-1 rules with no takedowns i like this fight. But Brock sits on his a la Frank Mir and grinds out a TKO. No way JJ's management thinks this is a good fight for him to take.

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

agree with previous posts. No way Jones would take this fight. All the eye pokes in the world wouldn't keep Lesnar off him. Jones would get ragdolled and destroyed.

I would love to see it tho.

This would not be a smart fight for someone who fattened up probably weighs 230 against someone who cuts weight to get to 260......no way it happens

Jones would easily take Brock apart. Too risky for Brock's brand imo.

Brock hates to be hit. Jones by Submission from Strikes.

How's that gonna happen when he can't take Jbj down? Brock couldn't steam roll hunt who is far from jbj on the mat..

You 2 get it

I don't see Jon submitting Brock

Jons clinch work would be nullified by the Giant Roided Man

Jon could kick out a knee or maybe land a high kick(leg may break on big dome tho)...maybe a spinning elbow

I am of the belief that Jon will not do well whenever he faces a man his size or larger that can fight....Gus and OSP are the examples that lead me to doubt his ability to win when he doesn't have size advantage

Jonny Bones's skinny ass does two backwards somersaults from a hit like that.

I actually feel JBJ would be easier to take down because Brock would have a much easier time wrapping his arms around his legs or hips and using brute strength to get him down.

The fight doesn't make sense to me.

I agree that the idea is idiocy.

That said, who thought they'd ever see mcgregor/mayweather?

I could see this kind of short-sighted money grab from the WME people. They want dollars and don't give a shit about MMA as a sport. Brock wants dollars and doesn't give a shit about MMA, JJ wants dollars and doesn't give a shit about anything but JJ.

well said

This fight has more star power than most of the PPV....and most of the star power is Pro wrestling style so it will sell like crazy

total money grab and it is two juicer so nobody can talk smack about PEDS...may as well buy off USADA again and let both of them get xtra swole

Did you watch the Hunt fight? Brock threw him around like a child. Hunt literally lost every single second of that fight.

He won both of those fights tho

Steam roll to me is finishing a guy..Stipe did more damage and finished him..brock will get beat up when he can't get a takedown

if D.C. isn't doing shit in the WRESTLING department brocks gun shy ass isn't

Steam rolling is generally just a dominant, one sided performance (which that fight definitely was) Not sure what galaxy you live in where Jon Jones can't be taken down by Lesnar. DC is a poor parallel.
