Some would argue that Kongo is a bit of a can. If they want to build him a resume then fine but overall giving him Kongo then a possible title fight makes no sense because he should be beating contenders, which I get is hard to do with the current UFC but at least make it seem believable. this is WWE type of buildup.

You might be right (about it being somewhat of a WWE style buildup) but that's where they put themselves by giving him such a huge contract and then having him lose to Mir (which I'm sure they expected not to happen). And, they're not really building him up to the hardcore fan - they're building him for the casual/new fan who maybe knows somewhat of guys like CroCop and the fact that this "Kongo guy" beat him. This works from that standpoint. Moreover, while not a top tier contender, I don't think it's fair to say Kongo is a can either.

Hahaha. I was just flipping through some of Gonzaga's fights, and I noticed that back in 2004 he beat some guy named Charlie Brown by submission due to ... EXHAUSTION - wtf?!?

While I agree that Lesner will win I have to think Kongo has a chance if it stays on the feet for any period of time.

Kongo would only stand a chance if Brock was dumb enough to stand up with him? I am sure that Brock is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even he is not that dumb. He should win be GnP, plus Kongo looks huge, but is still 40+ lighter, and that is a lot of weight.

Cup cheik said that the UFC was wasting his time. Guess his uppance has come.

I'm calling it right now, Kongo needs to reject this fight. He's got one fight left on his contract and a bludgeoning loss to Lesnar is no way to go out. He needs to negotiate a contract extension, with a hefty pay raise, and he needs to fight people who are going to benefit his career. He's got the look, he has produced results and he's getting better every time out. What more could the UFC want? No sense in wrecking his championship run by giving him a terrible match up at this point, save that for the title fight. Give him a better match up and lets see what he can do in the title fight.

***Attention Cheik Kongo: Reject this fight***
