Your thoughts on Brock?

He is just inexperienced. They threw him into a HORRIBLE Stylistic matchup in his 2nd MMA fight. I think they must have wanted him to lose. I feel bad for him. He can still do well though.

 

How was his striking?

 

I feel bad for BRock he's basically trained 2 years for this.

 

He took him down right away. They were stood back up after he hammer fisted the back of MIrs head and was deducted a point....with no warning. Mir worked a couple of leg kicks, and on the second one he was caught with a right hand and fell. So Lesnar's striking wasn't that bad. and he looked good when he was on top of Mir. He showed some definite skills.

 

Not great, but he did knock Mir down with a powerful right hand. He's strong enough, that if he moves forward it's going to scare the hell of out of most people. So, it was better than expected, I guess.

As for my overall impressions, I think what I always thought: with the right amount of experience, this guy could be scary good. He's a physical freak, and you can't discount that power.

 

Did you not see the fight? I have a site for you that will have it posted definitely by tomorrow. I'll PM you if you want, maybe you know about it maybe not.

 

Is it MMAtko?

 

Overall though, I say yeah, I was somewhat impressed; he looked scarily powerful, how anyone can defend a takedown from him in UFC rules is hard to see.

His striking was actually non-existant, I assume the thread starter meant his GNP? You would NOT want to mounted by brock lesnar :good

Negatives, he looked a bit stiff and ponderous, but i guess that's the flipside to being that big and poweful.

 

Good refereeing, I think. Even though you don't usually see instant deductions for that particular infringement, you should. I mean, touching the cage usually incurs an instant point; hitting round the back of the head is worse than htat.

 

they shouldve put him in with sylvia and put mir in with nog. those wouldve been even better fights. overall i was impressed with lesnar he showed great power and g'n'p skills but made a rookie mistake which i dont count against him because he is essentially a rookie. he will be back and he will be better at submission defense.

 

I think the only 2 bad matchups for him would be mir and Nog. It would be interesting to see even the best takedown defenses stop him.I don't think anyone could stop his explosive takedowns. And he will only get better.

 

The only people I see giving him trouble are top level submission guys.
Strikers and wrestlers(who will all be smaller than him) are just going to get steamrolled by this guy.

 

Brock was just too green. If he is groomed properly, he could take MMA by storm. If he stays with the team he has now and lets them build him into a well rounded fighter, he could be a challenge to anyone.

 

I wanna see him do what he did in first minute for 3 rounds. Then I'll make my judgement.
