Fortunately as Junior will do to him the same thing that Velasquez did. Lesner is over his head against the big guys who can fight.
All it takes to beat Lesnar is enough size not to be pushed around too easily, and the ability to scramble back to your feet if you go down. Lesnar leads with his head and is a perfect match up for big guys with fast hands.


I think Velasquez is probably better than Dos Santos, both are superior to Lesnar when it comes to skills. Actually Shane Carwin is a tougher fight for Dos Santos then Lesnar is. He is certainly more dangerous on his feet, although Carwin's stamina is suspect, and he cannot compete on the ground with the Brazilian. In the end I think Junior beats Carwin. The best heavy match up is Velasquez vs. Dos Santos. That should be a great fight with Velasquez retaining his title.
