JDS' tdd will be seriously tested in this fight. Brocks best bet is to adapt his style into a Shields-esque 'lay and pray', and hope JDS' BJJ skills off his back aren't top-notch. It's his only hope IMO, if JDS can sprawl and keep it standing Brock will fall to pieces again. What's the chances of Faber coming in as a guest Coach to help Brock and the contestants? He was rumoured as a Coach beforehand, has heaps of experience, and has publicly stated he is willing to help Brock learn how to take shots, as he had a trouble with this when he first made the transition. Would also give him exposure to the more casual UFC fans who weren't necessarily into the WEC.
They could well be but equally I think Brock may proove supprizly ineffective wrestling wise. We've not seen JDS's direct wrestling tested much but what we have seen is very good footwork that leaves few openings. You look at Brocks career thus far as his main sucess with getting guys down has been exploiting openings rather than timing shots from a distance, often when he's tried to do the latter its looked very ugly.
I personally think Lesnar will get caught with an uppercut coming in, assume the foetal position and get stopped pretty quickly.
Yeah an early stoppage seems likely(although I think Brock could be clean KOed if he panics up agenst the cage vs JDS) but if it does go long I won't be supprized if Lesnar has a hard time getting hold of JDS. Even if he does take him down and control him sucessfully I'd be supprized if JDS caved in the way Mir did.
Dana White has just passed the death sentence on Lesnar. JDS is the best boxer in the heavyweight division, this is going to very swift and very very brutal. Poor Brock.
I'm saying it hear and now, Lesnar is going to win by one sided destruction. JDS may very well be the best boxer at HW right now bt it doesn't matter because he is going to get taken down and pounded on until he is stopped.
I won't...the only season I've checked was 12....and it was a ****in pain in the ass to watch...most of the time I was trying to only catch the fight. I think the Bachelor is a better TV show then TUF. And I honestly don't think people should even care about those ****** in the show but eh...it's the U.S. and television is king... But honestly, that show is prolly the worst publicity MMA could ever have IMO !
Good performance by Lesnar but Mir turtled as soon as Brock landed a decent shot in the second and that led to the finish. The first round was basically Mir/De Pano mk 2 with Frank doing nothing but hanging onto a weak half guard while eating punishment waiting for a sub to fall into his lap.
Folks, like I told you before the Cain Valesquez fight Brock Lesner can't fight. He has no Chin and is scared to take a punch. He turns his back and runs. Brock is a weightroom warrior. He trains hard and throws around a bunch of weight in the gym but that does **** all for fighting. The guy can't fight to save his life. That being said I might tune in and watch this trainwreck.
Regardless of whether or not Lesnar will be a good coach or beat JDS, it's a good move from the UFC's perspective. Lesnar will bring in the viewers easily. And at the same time the UFC is selling JDS to the public. Regardless of who wins between Brock and JDS they set up a massive fight against Velasquez after. As for a JDS/Lesnar, I think Lesnar gets stopped in the first.
Brock can bring in Madsen, Couture, Barry and maybe some others. They are all friends and training partners. JDS could bring the house down and bring in Rua, Silva, Nog's, Machida and more!!!
