all the fights that brock has had people are always saying how hes going to get beat because he has not experience….when he fought herring it was the same thing, same with couture…..all of a sudden when brock beats these guys up people say they were not really good contenders for one reason or another, basically making excuses. Brock is dominant and has some skill to be up there competeting with some of these top notch guys. It sounds like everytime brock is going to fight they count brock out, when he wins here come the excuses…..give him the credit for being a true althelete and being able to step up and fight at the highest level which not everyone can do…..lets face it, brock is a true althelete and has the drive and motivation to become a huge name in UFC. he is a true draw for the UFC and brings in the numbers. thats why he makes more money.
and as he marketed himself in the WWE, brock lesnar is the NEXT BIG THING….like it or not…..by the way, Kimbo is a street fighter and a loooooser who shouldnt be fighting in the ring. Is that what you idiots call and athelete???

Brock, I never said it was your fault that you got a fight you don’t deserve. I blame, entirely, the UFC management for that.

This will be the highest grossing UFC event ever, and it will be because of you. The significance of the fight, however, remains to be seen.

Oh, and post a real email address, otherwise you’re just a troll.

I guess at this point what does it matter who deserves what. I am employed by the UFC and I fight who they tell me too. This will be the biggest UFC event ever and I have a little to do with that so maybe I do deserve it. I have a lot to work on and I will be ready come Nov. 15th.

Brock, though this is probably a troll, read my article.

You don’t deserve that shot and everyone (except, maybe, the parasites that live in your colon) knows it.

Looks like you didn’t know what you were talking about buddy. I am getting a title shot Nov 15. I am bigger, stronger and younger. I will control Couture like he is a middleweight.

Curtis, you can say the exact same thing for any wrestler. I could say the same about Cain, and it’d be true.

He needs to work on his standup and his submission defense.

The problem with his game is that he’s not working his one dimension to the point where he’s a monster on the ground. If he was a world class grappler, he could get away with being one dimensional, especially given his wrestling background and the quality of the UFC heavyweight division.

He needs to sit down on the mat and listen to a Jeff Monson or a Roger Gracie seminar and learn some jiu-jitsu to the point where his submission game is a threat (and the way he’s built, that would make him a serious force) and he needs to work his clinch offense to the point where he can do alot of damage from point blank range, as a way of moving into the ground fighting element.

His standup isn’t world class, but he’s not going to sprawl-and-brawl in this division, that gameplan makes no sense.

If I’m Brock’s manager (or his brain) I’m telling him to go train with a world class grappler and really cultivate those skills. With his athleticism, that can really make a difference in the division.

He’s too jumpy and just needs to settle back and find a comfortable zone. He’d lose quickly against a Machida-type fighter because he would rush into an offensive and get hurt quick. He’s big and fast, definitely, and the UFC will use him for a while considering how well he draws crowds. He’s no GSP in Montreal, but more people my local bar were more excited to see him than anyone else. That’s drawing power right there.

B,
Lesnar needs to establish his standup. His ground game will not be top level in the next few years, it just wont happen. If he gets into a ground battle with BJJ black belts then he is fighting into their strength and would lose more than win.

He needs to establish a good ground defense but work on his footwork and kicks. He is a monster and stronger than pretty much everyone in the UFC. If he hits you, it could be lights out. If he fins a way to fight to his strengths he will do fine, but if not he won’t be around but for only a few more fights. You can’t pay a guy 250,000 thousand dollars to be .500

Nice article, Josh. I’m looking forward to see Lesnar against someone who is a little more well-rounded. Herring can survive on the ground, but he has little offense. I’d like to see what some of the big BJJ guys can do with Lesnar on their back.
