I'm not so sure Lesnar would destroy Lashley. I think they are pretty evenly matched. Lesnar has the better names on his record so far, but they are very similar fighters.
Sorry, but I'm not convinced by Lashley yet. Sapp is a sideshow clown.
Lashley's Chin, Stand-Up and Ground Game off of his back is still a question mark.
Lashely is also nowhere near the caliber of wrestler that Lesnar is.
There is a HUGE difference between an NAIA Champion and NCAA Champion
Your right, there's also a huge difference between an NCAA champion and an Olympic gold medalist, that doesn't mean I'd take Kurt Angle over Lesnar. One big difference is Lashley competed at about 180 lbs as an amateur and Lesnar as a heavyweight. I think that gives Lesnar an advantage over Lashley.If Lashley keeps winning, the fight will happen with huge cross-over fan support and it will be the highest gross money wise for a UFC pay-per view ever. Thats why it will happen.
Considering the lack of depth in the Superheavy division in MMA, it wouldnt surprise me if Lashley got the call. Even if hardcore fans knew it was a farce, the UFC could promote the hell out of it, and make the casual fan think Lashley had a shot.
It would alienate the hardcore fans, but where are they going to go?
If Dana White thinks he can make money off it- he will do it. He openly mocked Lesner and Kimbo as jokes when other orgs courted and signed them, then changed his tune once he got his hands on 'em and promoted the hell out them as MMA monsters. The same would go for Lashley.
