Anybody feel different after watching all access? - Page 3

I have to admit that i completely changed my mind about Brock after watching the all acces, he actually seems very likable guy. But i wasn´t that impressed with his training, he might be strong and explosive but that´s not enough.

watching the all access show, was anyone else strangely reminded of Mark Kerr? I was. Despite the obvious similarities, I thought it was a bit eerie the way Lesnar came off as a big, dumb, friendly, naive, almost innocent kinda guy. It was pretty much the exact same impression I had of Kerr when I watched the Smashing Machine, minus the raging narcotics addiction. I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy

I was. And that was maby the biggest reason i wanted Kerr to win even after he became boring. He looked so happy after a win that i always felt so sorry for him when he lost that i almost cried. I´m still hoping for Mir to win this one tho.

I think after watching, I like Lesnar even more. I have MAD respect for the man walking away from the WWE and the big-time money he was making to revert back to his old, competitive ways. It would be tough I think for most people these days to walk away from that kind of money. But he has walked away from it, walked away from the bustle of stardom and has brought it all back to his old ways.

His training was pretty damn ridiculous. The man is going to come in some SERIOUS shape. Everyone is saying how they think his JJ is lacking or whatever. I mean, could you really judge it from that 30 minute segment? I'm not sure how accurate a portrayal that really was. They showed everything for a couple minutes at best and I think they really focused on his training and strength because that is what he is known for, i.e that is what the WWE fanbase and the general public knows him for and it is a marketable aspect of the fighter. All I'm saying is I don't think you can make these early judgement calls on the EXTENT of his training just yet. Wait till tonight and lets see what he does.

Either way, I'm really excited for the match and I hope to see Brock bring a tough game. I want a good fight. Its a win-win for Lesnar, and I'm hoping to see some positive aspects of his game to shed some light on what kind of future to expect from this massive human being.

you know brock wil take him down,and thats where mir wants to be.i think mir's jj is to much for brock to deal with at this point.after watching access he hardly worked any jj that i seen,i think he will be wanting to train it lots more after tonight

It takes time to really learn grappling, so even if Brock has really been focusing on his bjj, 1,5 years just isn´t enaugh to deal with high level submission guy.

on the ground I noticed brocks monster arms are all over as he tries to keep his balance. Iam thinking Mir will take one of those monkey trunks and jerk it the wrong way. As Ive said since the get go MIR BY SUB

I have the feeling Brock will be a bit overwhelmed by the situation and over-anxious. I think he may prematurely go for a take down and get caught. I think he'll get out of it but I think Mir will then pound him out for a TKO, first round. It came to me in a dream.

There it is! Give the man a prize. I would put money down that Brock's camp asked them to limit the training shown on the program. Why give away on fo your advantages to having an untested fighter.

Here is my crazy wacked out prediction:

Mir gasses and Brock G'n'P's or subs him in the 3rd.

From the All Access I watched, it looks like Lesnars cardio is going to be off the chain. If Frank doesnt get the sub in the first round HE will gas and Brock wins via GnP IMO.
