Rumor has it that Brock Lesner will compete in the 2011 Abou Dahbi. How do you guys think he will do ?
Thats a scary thought. I Think he will do well doubt he will win gold buf deffo have a good result
Trying to pull a Mark Kerr
Its funny how you sub a guy who has no cardio or a ground game in your last fight and you get invited to the 2011 abudabi because youre the biggest star in the biggest fighting organization in the world. I say he gets subbed in the first 4 minutes of his first fight.
Yea ! He will be way out of his depth technically, ADCC should take advantage of the new "Giant Antelope" being fed to the lions, And broadcast that shit on tv to get more fans
Brock will play the Mark Kerr game. Takedown too win...by points....that's all he's got! Oh yeah....and stall!
Spike tv, just said October is Brocktober. I love Brock. For someone to be that huge, athletic and still be angry as fuck is the stuff dreams are made of.
I didn't think UFC lets you compete in other organizations; aren't they really proprietary? That was a sticking point for Fedor (sambo) from my understanding. Anyway he'll get his ass worked, but if it's true (I don't think it is) maybe he's on the way to being a real Champion (one whose game isn't Swiss cheese.)
Nah, they do, I'm pretty sure. I've seen Diego Sanchez in it, and quite a few other UFC guys whom I can't remember right now!
UFC told GSP he could wrestle in the olympics....if he could make the Canadian team! There's more to wrestling than takedowns...I can't see him pinning anyone....I'm sure GSP doesn't train that aspect of wrestling!
I hope Barnett goes also and smashes him...and smashes Mir.
That would please me a great deal.
I think Brock will do better than people think though.
couldn't agree moreQuote:

Brock is no slouch on the ground. It's just popular to hate on him. Truth is, he is technically sound in his wrestling. And although strength is not the answer in Jiu Jitsu, it sure does help when you are insanely strong in a timed match.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Brock was around Purple level in jiu jitsu.
Brock is very high level wrestler and a freak of nature way more than mark kerr. Kerr dominated in no gi tournaments and yes he got many subs as well. He didnt just stall. Brock is learning more each day and think he would do very very well. Try pulling half guard on that beast and see if you can get to the dog fight ha. No thanks. Be open minded if he wants to try fuck it let him. That would take some balls on his part!!!!!
It's funny, all my friends thought that I would hate Lesnar because I'm a big MMA fan. I actually have tons of respect for the dude and his ground skills are legit. I hate pro-wrestling and much of the size difference and fighting style makes his game sort of unrelatable to me but otherwise, I don't get why the dude gets so much hate.
Mark Kerr was 13-1 in no-gi tournaments...11 wins by points (takedowns) 2 submission wins (Josh Barnett by kimura). Brock is not going to submit a high level Bjj blackbelt...he will use his wrestling and size to his advantage. I understand marking out to somebody but please....Brock gets by with freak size and wrestling....Randy Couture has more skill than Brock but he couldn't match up with the size. Yes, Brock is trying to get better in all aspects...but he's champion because of his freak size and Carwin gassing out!!!Quote:

I don't believe I ever used the word "jiujitsu".Quote:

I know Marcelo is god on the mat...but could he get his arms around that neck?Quote:

People talk lots but have never rolled him latly. Talk is cheap!!!!!!!!!!
Brock"s boxing is not world class. Brock's Mauy thai is not world class. Brock's jiu jitsu is not world class. Brock is a d1 NCAA wrestling champ not world class Randy Couture took him down pretty easy (even with the weight difference). Brock beat Mir with size,wrestling,and strategy. Who's going to get that freak off them. Carwin would have won if he didn't gas! Brock has some technique, but not world class. Again Brock gets by with freak size and wrestling....I would love to know how much he weighs before he steps into that octagon. Cain V. has more skill than Brock....but can he deal with that freak size?Quote:

Roger Gracie!
Roger gracie is a bad man fo sho!!!!
since brock can afford to hire about any trainer he could ever desire,,and has a few months to train..who knows what the hell could happen
Dude a real ? How hard do you think it be to put him in or control from,high guard, new yorK or chill dog ?with his size speed and base. You know he eather be smashing down on you with chest to chest or pushing on your lower rib cage and looking at the sky.
I believe Comprido said Lesnar is a purple belt, and that was some time ago as well.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4GA-...layer_embedded
Little bit of video of Lesnar working his ground game.
Without striking he might have trouble but his power is unmatched. Wonder if Roger can tap him
Yes sirQuote:
