JDS has better technique, but we don't know how hard he hits. Lesnar turtled up, but everyone else got knocked out. Also, everyone turtles when they get hit hard repeatedly, look at Shogun.

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Yes very true. But I think we have plenty of evidence showing that JDS hits quite hard. Werdum, Gonzaga, Yvel...etc. Also, Brock never really ate a clean shot from Carwin, he has such a massive head I don't know if anyone will ever be able to knock him clean out.

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

Dos Santos will dispose of Lesnar similarly to Cain Velasquez.  After that happens, I can't wait to see a bout between Velasquez and Dos Santos.

They should have jds do one of those sports science shows.

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Then we can see how hard he hits. I'll bet it's quite a bit lower than Cain Velasquez performance.

I see JDS spending enough time on his back for Brock to get the nod from the judges.

If Lesnar was able to put Dos Santos down, he can win by tko. I think Dos Santos wants the fight standing and can knock out Lesnar with his dangerous "uppers", as he did against Werdum.

Prediction: Lesnar  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

I think Brock has a good chance if he takes JDS down because I don't think JDS can move the same way as Cain.  Cain got up fairly easily against Brock and that's when the debacle began.  The real problem for Brock is if he can avoid one of JDS punches...1 hard one will have Brock to the chicken dance he did against Cain

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

I agree that Dos Santos doesn't hit quite as hard as Cain, but I think he has more strikes in his arsenal that can come from more angles.  He's a dangerous striker, and Lesnar's chin isn't made of granite, so he's still likely to get tagged.

Lesnar needs to learn how to use his reach effectively and he certainly needs to circle more. Can JDS stop a 275lbs guy taking him down> That's the question, I can't wait to see answered.

I agree with using to learn his reach it is really long but I think but Dos Santos still could handle it with his striking skills compared to Lesnar's. The takedowns will be the difference though and also how Brock handles Dos Santos' punches.

Nobody can stop a 275 pound Brock from taking them down lol. Question is, does he get up?

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Jon Jones had an 8" reach advantage on Shogun compared to Lesnar having a 5" reach advantage on JDS, Many people though Shogun was going to destroy Jones on the feet and look what happened. I'm just saying for a comparison - i understand a Jones/Lesnar striking comparison is like a dog eating his food compared to his own ****, it's just not the same...... lol

I agree Jon Jones' 8 inch reach advantage is a much bigger danger than a 4 inch reach advantage that Lesnar has, I got the reach's from Wikipedia so I don't know how correct they are. Reach shouldn't be a problem at all in this fight.

JDS will win just like Cain did and just like Carwin would've if he hadn't gassed out. Unless Lesnar has somehow learned to take a punch or use movements other than forward and back he's going to lose.

Prediction: dos Santos  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Based on what Tapology has listed, its a 5" reach advantage. Either way, Lesnar is going to get KO'd. I'm going against the grain here on another argument in that i believe JDS is nearly, if not just as powerful as Cain is.
