Kurt Angle is a better wrestler than Lesnar ever was, and he got owned by Daniel Puder who had LITTLE MMA training compared to most UFC guys.

Puder didn't in any way shape of form own Kurt Angle. He wrestled him to the ground and Angle spun out of it and nailed his ass to the mat. The only way Puder got Angle to the ground because Angle underestimate the kid.
The reason I say that Brock would to really good in the UFC is because people who are pure wrestlers can pull off decision victories purely based on the fact the can lay a guy on his back and lay on him. If you've ever heard interviews with Matt Huges we always talks about that. Matt Huges was an all-american in wrestling and when he first started doing MMA all he would do is shoot a guy to the ground and just start punching. Matt Huges wasn't in the class MMA wise as his opponents but he was freakishly strong and able to keep people down.
Obviously Brock would have to learn how to throw hands, and would have to learn some submissions if we were to become a champion, but as of right now I know for sure he could take a few people and pound them into the mat.
I think you totally under estimate just how strong Brock is, and just how good of a wrestler he was and is. If Brock goes into the UFC tommorow he could win a few fights. But like any MMA star he'd have to learn some boxing and submissions to compete with the better fighters like Jeff Monson, Marcio Cruz, Gabriel Gonzaga, Frank Mir, Tim Silva, and Andei Arlovski. But like someone said before me, he's a pure athlete with a tremendous work ethic or else we would have never reached his levels in wrestling. If he does in fact join UFC, which Dana White has shown intrest in him, I think he could be competing for the Heavyweight Championship in about 5 years.
