He quit Pro Wrestling because its fake and he didn't make it trying out for the NFL. So now he wants to be a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. He said he wants to fight Bob Sapp (Sapp highlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUlaybbhfuI ) for his debut match in K-1! Right now hes training at the Miletich Camp (need I say more? He's trained such champions like Matt Hughes the UFC MW champ.) You think he can hang in MMA? He's definately talented as far as his athletic ability and he was a NCAA champion wrestler.

If Brock can develop any kind of striking ability at all he will be phenomenal in MMA. Wrestlers are proven over and over again in MMA. As far as him fighting Bobb Sapp is concerned it depends on which org he goes to. in K-1 I think Sapp would win due to the lack of ground and pound but in UFC or Pride Brock would be all over him. If what you say is true then I am very pumped to see if Brock will excel in MMA, he definitely has the foundation for it.

Thank you for sharing the video it was funny....
MMA has evolved from the past. First it was little Royce Gracie beating tapping out the monsters and strikers. Then it was focusing on ground game or stand up and having the correct opponent to match your style. It changed into having weight divisons. Now it is just may the best man in the same weight class win. You have to have stand up and ground game and having a several of sessions with the Miletich camp will not do much good. There are people who have been training harder and longer. If he fights Bob Sapp it will be interesting to see. Sapp has more expierence in MMA he can tap out Brock with a arm bar (as we saw in highlight), or just do ground and pound. For someone who is not experienced in MMA a good ground and pound will show them never to come back again. Nog defends the ground and pound well. UFC cage Brock will lose. Pride ropes Brock will think he is in fake wrestling jump off the ropes or do his fancy hopes across ring (sorry I don't watch wrestling). It will be good to see the event in K-1 then we can see both of them stand up with non-stop action. It will be funny.

He's suffering from Goldberg syndrome. He hates the profession but wants the money. Bob Sapp is a 1 big punch wonder who rely's on brute force with little fighting skill to win fights. Sapp would be perfect for Toughman Contest!

HE IS CURRENTLY TRAINING UNDER THE MILETICH FIGHTING SYSTEMS so we should be seeing him fight in an MMA event soon under the miletich camp...
PAT Miletich has trained UFC champions matt hughes, rich franklin and tim sylvia....
From Pat's perspective he is fast for his size (260plus pounds) and that he has been learning quickly with his experience in collegiate wrestling...
His litmus test should be his first ever MMA match as no wrestling match ever comes close to an actual MMA event...

With his professional wrestling career behind him, I would like to see him in UFC for its a better organization but then again UFC have close ties with WWE/ECW because look what Ken Shamrock was and now

I think he can do well in either sport, MMA or Pride Fighting, they are both basically the same, one fights in venues overseas and one fights here Stateside in the US...

He couldn't make it to NFL. He will not make it to the mixed martial arts. He's "old" now and he'll find it hard to fight.
