I agree, too many organizations prevents good fights from happening, but then again, I don't see Dana White being the Ghengis Khan of the MMA world as fair either.WVR. Who? There are too many new orgs popping and diluting the talent pool.
NiiiiiiceWVR is basically PRIDE revamped. Many of the same people are running it, and they're getting back a bunch of old PRIDE fighters.
Oh. I did hear something about that, but I didn't know that was the org doing it. Well, I'll take back my earlier statement. Pride never dies...WVR is basically PRIDE revamped. Many of the same people are running it, and they're getting back a bunch of old PRIDE fighters.
Pride is dead. No Fedor, Wandy, Shogun, Hendo, Nog, Anderson, Rampage, etc, it's pretty dead. I'd love to be proven wrong though.Oh. I did hear something about that, but I didn't know that was the org doing it. Well, I'll take back my earlier statement. Pride never dies...
I've never watched him strike really (most of the footage I've seen on him are his college wrestling days) so I'll take your word that his striking is horrid. However, in watching his training videos, he looks like if he caught you, even with an ugly punch, it's going to cause some damage. When he hits the bag, his punches look oddly powerful, maybe not the prettiest thing in the world, but they look nasty.Lesnars stand up is horrid.
What do you base this on? I'm sure you're right, but I'm just curious.Lesnars stand up is horrid.
He's had no training. This came straight from Nick Thompsons mouth. Hes very awkward and his punches are slow and not very crisp.What do you base this on? I'm sure you're right, but I'm just curious.
A lot of the muscle-bound wrestler types seem to have trouble striking and generating power while striking. Like Matt Hughes and Coleman, and Sherk's is decent but not so powerful unless he's just not committing.
Brock's best chances striking may be to push him up against the fence and slowly pound away until Mir tires. I still think Lesnar gets tapped in this fight.
True that. I think all he can take away from 3 short months of JJ, combined with his wrestling is using it defensively. I think his natural power will help carry him, up into the point that tank starts gassing out. But I hear his conditioning is pretty solid.Hes at Minnesota MMA. They have been bringing in really big guys for him to fight but techinically hes done BJJ for 3 months or so. They say he hasn't be tapped in practice but they havent had a 250 lb Black belt in there for him to grapple with.
He can do 5, 5 min rounds no problem with 5 fresh guys.True that. I think all he can take away from 3 short months of JJ, combined with his wrestling is using it defensively.

God DangHe can do 5, 5 min rounds no problem with 5 fresh guys.
I see. I remember one of Bob Sapp's earlier fights in K-1 against Hoost. I knew nothing about K-1 at the time and expected Sapp to maul him, but his punches were in slow motion practically. Brock's like a smaller version of Sapp physique-wise so it makes sense.Hes very awkward and his punches are slow and not very crisp.
I'm not sure that I buy this, at least not in the actual Octagon with the adrenaline dump effect, but Mir is not going to push the pace much later in the fight to capitalize.He can do 5, 5 min rounds no problem with 5 fresh guys.
Yeah, Bob Sapp's punches look like slow motion movements, which is why it looked so weird when he knocked out his opponents. He would barely scrape them and they'd react like they'd been hit with a log.I see. I remember one of Bob Sapp's earlier fights in K-1 against Hoost.

You thought Sapp was gonna maul the greatest K-1 fighter of all time? Supposedly at least one of those fights was staged(Yakuza?). Sapp might be similar to Brock physique wise, but Brock is much faster and more explosive, but you knew that.I see. I remember one of Bob Sapp's earlier fights in K-1 against Hoost.
