It's a stretch to really call Choi a "champion" in anything more than name. You have to understand K-1 Hero's is notorious for these freak fights that have no appeal to actual MMA fans (at least no American MMA fans, the Japanese love their freaks though) but draw because of the pure spectacle. If you want to compare it to wrestling, it's comparable to McMahon's preference to push giants with no wrestling ability over the guys that can actually put on a match. I don't know how many of you remember Giant Silva from the WWE, but he also "fights" for Hero's.

Can Lesnar win? If he can take him to the ground and use his wrestling ability to hold him there for 3 rounds, yea. There's just no way to tell how he'll transition to MMA. But Choi's biggest claim to fame is beating up a sumo wrestler and Bob Sapp, so who knows.
