Once Lesnar Gets Taste Of MMA He Will Be Running Back To WWE
 
First Lesnar tried the NFL and now he is trying MMA. My belief is that his MMA experience will end like his NFL one did. With a thud. I know he was a champion wrestler, but he is not a well rounded fighter. I expect K-1 to throw a bum in front of him for his first fight but eventually he will face somebody who will make a name for themselves by taking out the former WWE champion. Cant expect miracles when your going from "as fake as it gets" to "as real as it gets"!

How many fighters start off MMA as well rounded fighters? isnt that what training is for? give Lesnar a chance.

Weren't Kazushi Sakuraba and Ken Shamrock both pro wrestlers? Y'know, two of the most respected, legendary fighters in MMA history. Hmmmm.....

Well i dont know who is a well rounded fighter at the beginning of there career. Normally guys come in with a very spefic background in something and grow as fighters as they become more expierenced. Now im not sayin Brock will be an instand sucess or anything but you gotta admit the guy has alot of athletic potential. Whether or not he makes it big or not will depend on a couple big factors A.) his coaching and it seems at this point with either MFS or Gracies he is good there B.) His work ethic. This seems to be the most important part because he did seem to quit football pretty quickly.

hes probably gonna be the next mark kerr. just a massive wrestler that can take you down and pummel you into oblivion. i don't see him pulling out any flying armbars or anything, just some serious ground and pound

welsh_lad_04 08-13-2006 07:43 PM

I hope brock lesner does well, bob sapp done well and he had next to no fighting experiance at least lesner has a wrestling background he just needs 2 get the right training and given half a chance

He's supposed to be training with Royce Gracie.With time I could see Lesnar pulling off armbars and other subs.

Just wait and lesnar will dominate, not anytime soon but he trains hard is an excellent wrestler and is extremely stronge. he has be vigerousally training standup, and is getting some subs down.

I think he will have a huge advantage on the ground, his strength should allow him to be able to force submissions that normal HW are not able to to.

I see him using the Kimura a lot like Kerr and I think the Kerr comparison could be pretty accurate and hell, that would be a compliment anyday if you were compared to the "Titan"/smashing machine.
