Brock Lesnar in MMA

TalkingDonkey · #1 06-04-2007, 04:23 PM

Saw the thread about Johnnie Morton getting his head punched into the 3rd row in the MMA event Saturday. Well, on that same card former WWE star Brock Lesnar made his MMA debut and wrecked his opponent in just over a minute. Prior to WWE fame, he was an NCAA wrestling champion at Minnesota and a junior college national champ. He's 6'2, 265 pounds, strong as hell and very quick too. Of course, dude seems kind of like a flake; in one of his interviews he says he's doing MMA "because it's where the money is." Here's a vid of his fight: http://www.dailymotion.com/search/k1...-lesnar-vs-min

Any chance Lesnar is the next big thing in MMA?

Lesnar is lucky to be alive.

Kurt Angle v Brock Lesnar in a MMA match at Wrestlemania 24. Book it Vince.

that was the difference between that match being 5* and 4 3/4*, great match though

as far as Lesnar being the next big thing in MMA, it's definetly possible. He had the talent to be an olympic wrestler in either freestyle or Greco-Roman, so there is that going for him. He is getting into it at a solid age and his drive is insane. The question is, how will he do at punch and kick defending and how will he adjust to submissions. Another thing going for him is that he can definetly cut a good promo and that will help sell matches

It's spots like that why Vince puts the leash on guys once they make it to WWE. Lesnar would regularly hit the shooting star in OVW. I miss The Minnesota Stretching Crew (Lesnar & Shelton Benjamin).

Vince has banned the SSP.

Does this mean that London isn't doing his?

Paul London's SSP was the most [censored] awesome thing ever.

London was doing the SSP the last time I saw him wrestle in teh fed, which was back in december, so unless that changed recently, he's still doing it, which is awesome, cause london easily does the best SSP
