Everyone with half a brain knows Brock has SICK skills in wrestling.
No one knows that marious has skills is anything besides strongman.
No boxer stands flat on his fight right away. you do that when you're gassed out.
I agree with tbe brock comparision though, Brock was waaaaya to stressed out at first. Now he has learned to calm down at first.
Marious should do the same thing hehe.
He's not really a boxer--and boxing isn't the benchmark for great standup anyway.
Plenty of people with brains that just weren't familiar with Brock Lesnar outside of WWE didn't know he had good ground technique.
Not everyone can be an MMA geek like us you know.

But let's compare Mariusz to that Rogers guy that gave Fedor the biggest trouble he's had in ages.
Is Rogers great on the ground? No. Not if you define greatness on the ground as technically skilled.
However, in absolute terms, he IS great--simply due to his strength.
Well Mariusz is MUCH stronger than Rogers, so don't underestimate the value of that.
Rogers just powered out of Fedors grapples; I'm sure Mariusz could do the same.
However he would be eaten alive in the standup.
