By Zach Arnold | August 21, 2008
In a report today in the Pioneer Press:
Former Gophers wrestler Brock Lesnar, who is 2-1 as a mixed martial arts fighter, found out this week that Ultimate Fighting Championship would like him to compete next on a November card, but his opponent and site remain undetermined.

Brock’s done an incredible job of shaking the “former WWE wrester Brock Lesnar” tag in such a short time.
Even accounting for this being a miscellanea column in a “hometown” newspaper.
His next opponent is likely to be Cheick Kongo, and stylistically, he’s likely to win easily, as is anyone against Kongo who has a good takedown game or a good submission game. If Carmelo Marrero’s takedown game was enough to overwhelm Kongo, I’m sure Lesnar’s will be, too.
