I bet Dana thinks Brock can take Fedor.

"Against Minotauro, I see a typical jiu-jitsu vs. wrestling fight but with lots of boxing. Against Fedor, I believe it would be easier for Brock because he would dominate both on the ground and standing up." - Medeiros(Brocks BJJ coach)

 

You heard it here first folks. Brock dominates Fedor both standing up and the ground.

 

Some BJJ guys, especially Brazilians, seem to still not be able to accept that Fedor beat Nog handily twice.

 

Lesnar...

 

He didn't really have the title of unbeaten street fighter because he got beat by fat cop sean gannon.

 

I did view that event, I believe Gannon was a Golden Gloves winner, Gannons face was a bloody pulp of Swiss Cheese, it was a nasty squabble indeed but it was a stalemate in essence as neither one gave up or won. and Kimbo has zero gas, that was a pathetic fight really but considering Kimbo had no formal training in MMA and Gannon had it levels out as a poor fight with poor fighters.

 

you can say what you like kimbo lost

 

Lesnar's striking was good enough to KO Couture and floor Heath Herring. He's not exactly CroCop, but he does have effective strikes.

His KO resistance hasn't been checked that well but it's not fair to say he'll tap quickly. Frank Mir will break your **** if you don't tap (see Tim Sylvia) and a snapped knee could have meant the end of Lesnar's career before it even started. Nothing is worse for a fighter, especially a wrestler, than a terrible knee injury.

Brock has pretty decent striking and pretty solid GnP. The only fighter that can beat Brock now is a fighter that is better standing AND better fighting off his back than Brock is at fighting on top. That's the beauty of wrestlers. I think Brock could beat Crocop, because Crocop would probably just be GnPded the whole fight. I think Brock could beat Werdum, because I don't think Werdum would ever be able to get the fight to the mat if Brock chose to stand.

Being a really top wrestler is HUGE in MMA. He only really has to work hard on one more aspect (either striking ALA Koscheck or grappling ALA Hughes) to become an extremely good fighter.
