He'd never make the 265 cut for HW.
Lesnar is a physical freak and has incredible natural strength, agility, and quickness for his size, but that's only going to take him so far. He was a pro wrestler, and decided he wanted to "follow his dream" and play in the NFL. When he couldn't make an NFL team right off the bat, he gave it up and went back to wrestling in Japan. He walked out of that an is now trying to make an MMA career. You have to question how much the guy really wants to do this.
No one really knows how he's going to perform because no one knows how he's going to handle getting hit or what actual skill besides grappling he's going to bring in the ring. If you look at the world's top fighters, very seldom are they the biggest guys with the best bench press. They're either well rounded, or they have one skill they do extremely well (GnP, subs, striking). Against the likes of Hong Man Choi, I don't know how much "skill" we'll actually see--if Lesnar wins, it may come via holding him down and dry humping him from guard for three rounds. That's the classic formula for victory for unrefined wrestlers.
