This will be interesting to see how he does.

Interesting..how much was/is his contract for?
-
Ill take Lesnar! Used to watch him wrestle for Univ. of MN. Hes too tough to lose. He trains too hard to lose. He is probably training harder than any other fighter right now. You cannot beat a wrestler who gets serious. Ask any UFC fighters, they hate wrestlers because they pick up UFC so quickly and easily and excel at it very fast.

Lesner should have stayed in the WWE. More cash.

250+ days a year on the road and all the wear and tear on your body is a big incentive to leave 'wrestling' and go mma.

hopefully he isnt just another big heavyweigth that gets winded 30 seconds in then fights not to lose
kind of like tim sylvia

Exactly - I can't see him going very far.
-
Lesnars cardio always seemed to be on the ball with amateur wrestling so I dont think that will be too much of an issue - if I rememer right though Mirs cardio has been suspect in the past.

Are you kidding me?
You donīt know much about amateurwrestling do you?
TEEEAM LESNAR!

Yeah didn't he go like 103 and 2 or something like that in the superheavies in college?

106-5
and people doubt his knowlage of getting into great cardio shape .......................L ol

Lesnar finished his amateur career as a two-time NJCAA All-American, two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Champion, and the 2000 NCAA heavyweight champion
Wow I wonder if he he gasses out totaly in 2 min ::) ::) ::)

Lesnar is a smart guy, he knows that wrestling will always be there so why not try your hand at other things. NFL didn't work out but I am sure that he got paid, the practice squad guys make more than the top bodybuilders and more than most wrestlers.
in MMA he will fight 2/3 times per year and make good money..also if he is successfull he will be able to negotiate with the WWE from a position of strength.
also to me (I have no proof of this) the WWE seems to be dying a slow death where as MMA has taken off. Vince McMahon is a smart guy and is probably trying to capture some of MMA's fame so I expect him to try and start a new MMA federation...so he might throw big money at Lesnar
-
Lesnar wll destroy Mir.
-
I don't think any of the heavyweights really stand much of a chance against lesner. His wrestling background should allow him to manhandle most of his opponents.
-
This should be good.....Go Brock!!! ;D

if you wrestle at any level and are any good at it you have to be conditioned, the practices are too damn hard not to get into shape, either you keep up or you get your ass beat. I would practice with a team right now to tell you the truth, everyday was hard as hell but I got in great shape doing it.
-
Right now Lesner is working with another 2 time NCAA champion Cole Konrad to freshen up on his wrestling skills.
-
And don't forget that at 265 he moves like he is 190. Look up the old clip of him doing the shooting star press. (Not the one with Angle that almost got him killed.)
-
There is no one else in the UFC as big and as powerful as Brock is, it all matters on if he can withstand punches to the face and what his tolerance is. I see him just over powering everyone he will fight.

I canīt find that clip anymore..

anyone with a giant penis tattoo on their chest won't last a round in the UFC.....
-
Lesnar is going to get his ASS KICKED!
-
Lesnar has potential, but he has a long way to go before he can handle top level MMA fighters. He is fortunate that the UFC Heavyweight division is pretty weak and that they are feeding him washed up champs like Mir. I will tell you this. If Mir shows up with half the confidence and condition that he had B4 his bike accident, he will destroy Lesnar...

I agree. Brock is a specimen that comes once in three life times, he unleashes power from a different world, He will be ufc champ inside of 12 months. As far as his lungs is concerned, he spent 4 years walking around at 290 with decent lungs, so 260 should be a breeze for him to come in shape, besides this will only be a one round fight.
-
here is his first fight: before you (all) go crazy about how good he is, his opponent was like 6-10 and has had problems adjusting to mma.

The only thing that's missing from your homoerotic Brock-worship post is a description of what you'd like to do to his penis. Tool.

Hopefully Brock will get knocked the fuuck out. Just because. :D

Whoa, looks like I struck a nerve with this "guy".

I wouldn't say a former NCAA wrestling champion is exactly untested.......do your research

Actually, I think he nailed you, "one time hard" as it were.

I feel the exact same way about this. I loved watching him wrestle in college, but Mir has crazy ground skills.

It's on youtube.

quick pandamonium, go and get chaos and havenbull and the rest of your little band of merry fags to come and rescue you in this thread like you usually do.

Lesnar's video interview on the UFC 81 website is pretty good...
-
They wouldnt have Lesnar fight someone in his first fight that they thought he would lose to.
What Lesnar will most likely do, is take Mir down very quickly and smother him for three rounds.
he'll win a very ugly fight, but he will get a win nonetheless.
It wont be pretty but it will be a victory.

If frank can keep his head in the fight and fire off relentless submission attempts, he can pull it off. I just don't think he is mentally there...
-
He will kill Frank Mir
-
well. mir in his prime was a very good fighter.. things have changed since his prime though.. but, lesner?.. i dont think so.. i think mir knows this is his shot to get back some respect in the division.. lesner is nothing but window dressing to sell another pay for view.. if he loses he will be thrown out with the bath water.. unfortunately, the ufc is turning into the wwe .. no rankings, just who ever they think will sell ppv regardless of skill.. if you remember the winner of the jardine / lidell fight was supposed to take on silvia.. well the ufc fully expected lidell to take jardine easily.. the wiiner gets silvia.. well, it did not goes as planned and jardine pummelled liddell.. so, jardine gets the fight and a chance to make some money.. BUT NO.. ufc/danawhite pushes him out of the way and still has liddell fight him.. that lose should have technically pushed liddell down the ranking quite a bit.. but, since they have no ranking system ::). they screwed jardine.. anyway.. sorry for the rant.. but, i am losing respect for the ufc.. :'(
-
He's going to conquer MMA just like he conquered pro football. This is a pure cashgrab on his part. I hope Frank snaps his arm in half.
-

I dont think he's there mentally either thats why they put him up against lesnar.
It will be very interesting though.
And what a hyoooge blow that would be to ufc if lesnar lost in hsi first fight.
-
the WWE has made many offers for brock to come back and wrestle, i would love it... he has made his mind up and said he doesn't want to wrestle in the WWE any more.... hopefully he will come back in the not too distant future

I hope Frank is in shape. If he is, he is great off his back. I hope Frank catches him in an omoplata and tears up Lesnar's shoulder.
-
I just hope that one of lesnars long ass arms doesīnt get stuck lol :)

I agree totally with your post.Rankings should be everything it is a sport afterall.

Good move by Lesnar. To show that he can really SCRAP!

Brock Lesnar is "THE NEXT BIG THING" in MMA!!! He will destroy everyone they put in the octagon against him---including KIMBO SLICE....

With all due respect SP that is totally incorrect. Im not sure where you get your information from but Lesnar was CUT from the Vikings..... and you dont get "paid" unless you make the team. Get Cut= NO PAY Make TEAM= GET PAID!
Each NFL team had b/t 8-12 practice guys on the roster ( I forgot the exact number) and the make about $70 per season. Plus can get a decent per diem for off season workouts. So yes you are correct they still make more then alot of the top bbers.
