So Choi can't get cleard to fight & K1 has no promoters license to even be putting on the event at all? God lord with all the money they must have already invested in this it just seems such a joke. I was looking forward to seeing Brock fight MMA plus the rematch between Royce & Sak

I hope this fight happens. Choi is a beast and I'm sure we're all eager to see how well (or bad) Lesnar does.

It appears that Choi will not be able to make it. Assuming he doesn't and the card still goes on, possible replacements for him include Tank Abbott, Bob Sapp, Butterbean, James Thompson, and Ruben Villareal.

He's going to get his butt handed to him no matter who he fights. He might be big like a Grizzly bear but MMA fighters are hardcore in their training. Next thing he'll want to do is get into a boxing ring.

Next thing he'll want to do is get into a boxing ring. Incase you were unaware, Lesnar has trained in MMA throughout the world with some of the biggest camps including the Miletich camp, the Gracie camp, and Minnesota Martial Arts. He's more than ready.

Hey I want him to win. I hope he becomes successful at this. I was just saying that most of these guys have been training for years. Lesnar went from wrestling, football(tried) back to wrestling. I was comparing other MMA fighters experience to his. Again I would love for him to win and destroy who ever he faces, I just don't know if he can.

If he has to face Tank Abbott or someone with a lot of experience, I might agree that he is likely to get beat. That's why they gave him someone who also had limited (true) MMA action.

Couple updates, credit goes to MMA Weekly and Sherdog respectively:
FEG GRANTED TEMPORARY LICENSE FOR JUNE 2ND
Lesnar to Face Min Soo Kim
Looks like things might be coming together for them at the last minute. Hopefully Sakuraba is cleared.
Only potential problem I see remaining is the stadium itself. That's a really big place to try and sell out.

Um, no. He trained with Miletich for like one week last year and never trained with the Gracies.

I'm actually hoping Lesnar can win. I know most people want him to lose, but it's obvious he is serious about this, especially after training with Royce.

With proper training, and if he's got his head on straight, Lesnar may just be a threat here.
