Not even then, couture never made the olympics. Kurt is Gold medalist, and did it with a broken neck, so imagine him without that.

i think the broken neck thing might be exaggerated a bit.

I did say losing to Angel was no there was no shame.The only reason I was kind of surprised he got handled like he did was because of the weight gap.Brock is a monster compared to Angle.I know size isn't everything but I would think Brocks strength would have made a little difference.WWE showed both Brock and Angle training for the Olympics and i must say they both have an awsome training ritual.I personally don't think niether would have a gas problem.

Brook is 26 and just married Sable.if he really deicates himself to learning he could be a force.Plus his fame would bring the UFC some buy rates.They could throw him in with a can and if he won they would get new watchers just from wrestling alone.

I will say this.If he has a good chin and just happends to learn some ground work he could be a little problem for Sylvia.Not that I think he could win but he would take away Tims size advantage to a point.He has the strength just have no clue to what else he has.JMO.

I agree that, with some legitimate training, there's no concrete reason to believe that Brock wouldn't be able to compete. The man is a beast. Does he have the heart for it is my big question. He kinda wussed out on the WWE, despite huge success. Here's the bigger question though: is all this discussion just hypothetical, or is there something to indicate that Brock is coming to the UFC?

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine Brock with a year or so of training from Team Militech or Team Punishment

To tell you the truth, I saw the '93 olympics and the broken thing was real.

Brock didn't wuss out on the WWE.He turned down a $5 million contract to try and play football.When that failed the WWE(Vince) decided he no lomger wanted Brock.IMO he just wanted to punish Brock for trying to play pro football.I think Brock has heart.Just not if his heart is made for the UFC ass whoopings that are dealt out.We won't know until we see him get a solid high kick or a knee to the head.



The reason for all the talk about Brock and the UFC is Dana said something along the lines that there is a spot in the UFC for him.

it was the 96 olympics.The Olympics happen every 4 years they're always on even years.I just can't believe that anyone could win a gold metal in wrestling match against a very accomplished wrestler with a broken neck.

Thats thing about wrestling . You know how many matches you go threw offcial and unofficial so much contact thats why most wresters never have cardio problems, so I would have to give him a legit shot to be a factor in the[UFC].
