I didn't really think Shane was as good as Cain in the first place. Obviously you can't take away Lesnar scoring some good wins very early in his career but people who thought he was some sort of supremely versatile mixed martial artist who could handle any style were deluding themselves. He's no less a one-trick pony stylistically than Pudzianowski (another circus act), he's just a bit better an athlete.
His loss didn't have anything to do with stamina. Brock was stumbling all over the ring from punches to the face.
Lesnar doesn't like getting hit at all. Now the mystique about his strength has been shown up I think he won't do too much. Will still be in some interesting fights though. FI definitely rate him higher than Pudzianowski though, he's shocking. Brocks sheer size caused him to fall over and enable Velasquez even more oppurtunities, Lesnar looked to be right up for it, throwing big knees and trying to wear Cain out, then all over the place. Heart? No doubt. Chin? He didn't get sparked. Natural punch resistance? Didn't get hit with anything huge, but like Bambi on ice! 'The Worlds Strongest Man' is God-awful at MMA, Brock could still get better. Velasquez vs JDS anyone?
Damn.. The gash on Lesnar's cheek is ****in gnarly. He'll need stitches for sure, the beast would not close when covered with grease. Props to Cain. Should have followed my gut in this one.
Now...Cain seems like a real fighter. Still some more great fights on the horizon. Back to the drawing board for Brock.
The bigger muscled version Brock would probably have been more effective withthe quick aggressive finish he tried tonite, his neck etc look so much smaller since his sickness, the man does has heart even when he is rocked he still wants to fight back, Cain is gonna be hard to beat.
cain seems to be conservative and tactical, skillwise brock is overated defintely. i thought u was saying his heart was joke
