Well the problem with this theory is a) Lesnar is 300lbs of muscle and a tremendous athlete and about as far from a "slob" as you can find, and b) he was a highly decorated amateur wrestler. For those not familiar with MMA, wrestling is ideally the best base to start off in MMA, because in theory you can control where the fight takes place (if you want it standing, you use your wrestling to stop a guy from taking you down. If you want it on the ground, you take him down).

The Klitschko's could both do fantastic in MMA potentially. Both are superb athletes with extremely educated hands and dangerous standup. Vitali especially because of his kickboxing background. The question is, are they willing to put boxing aside and train with a legit MMA camp full time, and learn how to avoid takedowns and how to defend/mount offense off their backs.
