5 Fights Brock Lesnar Could Take In Bellator MMA

2. Vitaly Minakov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t341HoX532k If you want to get right down to business, you put Brock Lesnar in against the current Bellator MMA champion, Vitaly Minakov. Minakov (14-0) is an undefeated Russian fighter with wins over Eddie Sanchez, Ron Sparks, Alexander Volkov, and Cheick Kongo to his name. He's quite likely one of the best heavyweghts outside the UFC at the moment, which is why he's holding gold. Now, before you say "but Lesnar is coming off two losses" consider the following: Joey Beltran has had a title shot in Bellator, recently. Lesnar's last loss, to Alistair Overeem, should have been changed to a No Contest after Overeem failed a post-fight drug test, part of his conditional license for the fight. That license required Overeem to be tested before and after the fight, and was issued conditionally because he fled the country after an initial drug test. He passed all tests up to the night of the fight, but failed one a few months later - but still in the fight license window. However, the Nevada Athletic commission chose not to change the fight result, as so much time had passed and Lesnar had retired. His loss to Cain Velasquez, well - who hasn't lost to Cain Velasquez? Junior Dos Santos has twice. Bigfoot Silva has twice. Joey Beltran has had a title shot in Bellator, recently (repeated because of the sheer insanity of it). So with that in mind, Bellator could sell this to fans. They sold Tito vs. Bonnar after all, and it set records.
