Brock is turning 34 yrs old.. all of a sudden hes gonna learn how to take a punch?

Brock Lesnar is not a Mixed Martial Artist...he came up against one the other day, though.

 

Hotheaded people are usually the ones that can't take a punch. Their thought process goes rogue when they're hit.

 

As long as he has the size, top speed and strength, he'll be a threat to anyone. A boxer like Manny Pacquiao was once green and relied on nothing but a straight left hand. His power and speed and determination was what overwhelmed world class fighters. One devastating knock out isn't the end of someone's career. Overeem was once knocked out in three consecutive fights. Granted he's a more rounded fighter but still, Brock's athletic/wrestling talent gives him a chance.

I think Brock's illness really affected his mental fortitude. It's made him a lot more cautious. I remember when he was tagged hard in the head by Mir's knee and Brock didn't run from it. Cain has good power but I don't believe it's devastating. The old Brock should have been able to run through them. I really believe punch resistance has a lot to do with how mentally prepared a fighter is.

I don't like Lesnar but he's earned my respect. He's been beaten but only by some of the best fighters in the world, not tomato cans. Lesnar is one hell of a marketing machine for the UFC and MMA; you have to admire that.

 

Brock's a guy who's an awesome physical specimen and has been blessed throughout his wrestling career. Because of his physical attributes he's had ALOT of smoke blown up his ass. And frankly he believed his own hype. Looking the part doesn't equate in the slightest to performance. Facts are Brock is a Pro Wrestler who turned his hand at MMA as a means to make a living. The UFC wanted a star and Brock needed a career. It was very much a reciprocal arrangement.
The guys guffawing over his stats though were the fans. Not the fighters. All this nonsense about Brock being so intimidating was just hoopla. If looks were the only criteria for being the baddest man on the planet Brock may have a shout. But even Kimbo trumps him there. Its just dreadful to think that the UFC stole this moniker from Tyson to then try and apply it to Brock when he has positively done nothing to support such an audacious tag.

 

No. Apple make a fortunte off selling expensive computers to "fans" who are nothing more than mindless schill. This trick the UFC played is no different. If the UFC is interested in building a promotion off names then bring Kimbo back and they can add Pudz as a headliner too.

 

If Lesnar is an apple then Kimbo is an orange. You really can't compare the two. Kimbo has been beaten by complete tomato cans. Lesnar is a bonafide wrestler who can actually compete with some of the best fighters. And you really do have to respect marketing power even if you don't like Apple computers or Brock Lesnar. If it was so easy to hypnotize a bunch of mindless goons into emptying their pockets I wouldn't be here in my cubicle at my low end job bored and probably wasting my time on ESB. I could be wrong but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you don't make as much as Lesnar does.

 

How can a sick butthole effect your ability to take a punch?

 

The 'old' brock...the guys had 7 fights and your talking about the 'old' brock

 

This makes no sense. The mindless goons you speak of do still go to work. They just buy tapout gear and purchase brock's ppv's like he is the king of mma. The numbers don't lie, people were dupped. And they will be again. The hype machine is about to shift gears. Now the fuel will be Cain. He deserves it more than Brock but you get my point.:good

 

C'mon man!! You remember back in Brock's heyday way back in 2009. Man those were the days. Just like 1988 and Tyson. It just felt right.:rofl:rofl

 

Seems like it was only yesterday.......wait it was.

 

Remember those two classic wars Brock fought with Frank Muuurr?
