Brock Lesnar

So what do you do when you fail as a WWE phoney and get your butt handed to you in your NFL dream, I guess you find a different place to get beat on. I know Brock is in shape and all, but come on already, get the hint. I don't think MMA will treat him kindly either, in fact, I am sure when he wakes up from being knocked out, he may reconsider his choice.

WOW Broken, you are a moron! Lesnar was a state wrestling champ multiple times. His take downs will make any ones sprawl look weak! After he gets his strikes down hes gonna be a top contender for sure
ReplyDeleteWOW broken you are a moron! Lesnar was a state wrestling champ multiple times. His take downs will make any ones sprawl look week! trust me
ReplyDeleteOk, fair enough, I could possible be a moron, Brock was a wrestler, good for him. But last time I checked, he is going to be fighting in MMA, which is no where close to the same thing. Some amazing wrestlers have done terrible in MMA in the past, some have done great. So, if he does great, I will concede that I am a moron, but if he gets destroyed, then you can be the nice guy and say that you were maybe a bit hasty sticking me with such a great label like moron.

Broken, I don't think you're a moron or anything of the sort. I do however believe you are underestimating the caliber of athlete that Brock "Samson" Lesnar is. Imagine an unholy union between Matt Hughes, Wanderlei Silva, and Bob Sapp. It can do back-flips and Shooting-Star-Presses, which are Jumping off a ring's top turnbuckle towards an opponent in the middle of the ring via aforementioned backflip, then land on you. 300 lbs. can do this to someone.
ReplyDeleteBrock's takedowns are like getting 6 meth-tweaked Matt Hughes' shot out of a cannon and into your hips. After he gets you down - and he will get you down - you then have 300 pounds of rabid pink NCAA Division 1 champion gorilla on top of you.
And its trained by Royce Gracie.
That man may be the scariest Aryan alive.
Thanks Asa, I do understand what you are talking about in Brock being agile and strong, but for some reason I just don't think he will do all that good in MMA. Now the guy he is set to fight is bigger, but from what I have seen, Brock would probably whoop him even with Gracie training, but against well rounded MMA guys, I think he will run into trouble. It makes me think of Sherk, he is a great wrestler, and he takes guys down and then brings the pain, but he is pretty got only that weapon in his arsenal, case in point, Kenflow ran into trouble because of his strength, but GSP destroyed Sherk, because he is much more a well rounded MMA fighter. I am interested in seeing what Brock can do, but I am guessing the UFC will not be seeing him anytime soon because of being to heavy, maybe He could fight in pride. Anyway, thanks again.
