I think Velasquez would probably suprise you against Lesnar. Brock's size has got to apprehend him when he fights a hugely skilled fighter. And he will probably add muscle to his game. I would say right now, he is a better striker than lesnar.

Technically he is a way better striker than Lesnar. Like leaps and bounds better. But the problem is, Brock carries such a ridiculous amount of power in just one strike, that Velasquez could feasibly blitzkrieg him with strikes, and Brock is so big it wouldn't drop him, and then BAM one shot from Brock and it's like "where the fuck am I?". I'm not sure whose wrestling credentials are better, but Brock is just much bigger, so it would negate Velasquez IMO.
It's like Fedor vs. Arlovski, Arlovski was clearly the better technical striker in that fight, but then BAM one mistake, and it's ktfo.
