What does he weigh, 150lbs? I’m not saying I’d whip his ass, but he smokes people his own weight which isn’t that impressive. Throw him against someone over 200lbs and I bet a novice fighter would beat his ass.
There is no such thing as a novice fighter.
Kimbo Slice was considered a novice fighter, yet he had numerous bare knuckle fights in backyards
You can say they have weight limits for a reason, and I agree. But Royce Gracie proved that under MMA rules, he could beat anyone.
If it were standup only, he wouldn't have a chance.
McGregor, would probably front kick your knee, to drop you down, then KFC two piece you.
That's why I found the Lesnar vs. Mir matchup so intriguing. Mir, simply gave a "green" Lesnar an ankle lock, in their first matchup. Lesnar, tapped in the first round.
The second time around, Lesnar was a bit more seasoned, and they even showed Mir deadlifting etc...to try and match the weight and strength of Brock.
In the rematch, if it stayed on the feet, then Brock would've folded, like he's shown against other strikers. But what pissed me off the most, was that Mir was also 100x better on the ground (submissions)
Brock won that fight perfectly. He almost got tko'd by a Mir knee, when Brock took him down against the fence.
It was the perfect storm. Brock, used his size, strength, and wrestling ability, to keep Mir pinned against the Octagon. Mir, couldn't escape, nor had the space to try a submission. That is the apex of a Brock Lesnar fight. Still wondering how he survived that fight from Shane Cars In. Let alone, use a side choke....
If you don't think fights have been fixed in the UFC, then.....if it makes money, and you can bet on it.....
