Will Brock Lesnar do well?

Question

Do you think Lesnar will kick butt in UFC?

Answer 1

He might, I saw his last fight, it was a very one-sided @ss whooping but it was against a total can. Brock is a monster at 6' 2", 285lbs, and incredibly strong. It looks like his ground and pound is vicious but the fight ended so quickly that it's hard to say anything about the rest of his game.

I do think he has potential but right now he's completely untested so I don't think we can assume he'd beat anybody in the top 20. I have no idea how he'd do if they threw him in the UFC right now. He might be able to do well against the pure strikers, if he could put Hardonk on his back I have no doubt he'd pound him out, if he didn't get ko'd first. He'll have to drop down to 265, which shouldn't be difficult but could affect his beastliness.

Time will tell if Brock has what it takes, hopefully he can get some good experience in K-1 before he comes to the UFC, but if they keep feeding him cans we'll never know. I'm just happy to see a new charismatic face in the heavyweight division and I'm happy he decided to go MMA. Not that there's anything wrong with pro wrestling, I have respect for the difficulty of what they do, I'm just not a fan and I like real competition.

Answer 2

I think he will He is extremely strong and there is no better wrestler in the game. He just needs to work on his standup fighting to be at the very top of his game. Considering he is a heavyweight and that is a weak division in UFC, I'd say look for Lesnar to be champ within a year.

Answer 3

If Brock takes this serious, he could do well. He's trained with Royce Gracie, and I think Militech Fighting System. He needs to find a camp that will suite him perfect. The UFC will probably give him some cans to feed off of and improve with. Then he'll start facing bigger names. Some of which he could put a hurting on, but others, I doubt it. It all depends on what his stradegy is. Take downs and ground n pound could work pretty well.

Answer 4

2 things would have to happened first:

1) He'd have to drop weight in order to even be able to compete, that's not likely as Brock is has mostly muscle mass, but then again he wrestled so he knows about cutting.
2) He'd have to sign a contract with the UFC, and Dana White is not impressed with him yet, so that won't happen anytime soon.

Assuming both of those things happen, he could potentially do well, if he learns striking.

Answer 5

I think he will do very well in the ufc. he is a great athlete, agile for a giant, very knowledgeable in wrestling. what he needs is a great training camp (extreme couture) if he was to pick up randy's/dan's clinch skills, imagine what damage he'll be doing. what he need to learn is also how not to rely on his strenght but skill and well rounded-ness, stand up, grappling and ground game. that is my thoughts on lesner

Answer 6

i actually think he will do alright he just needs to train with the right camp, i think he should train with american top team because they work very well with wrestlers. I think he will bring alot of excitement and popularity to the ufc with his aggresive smash mouth style. Brock lesner vs randy couture sounds great....

Answer 7

I wouldn't say that just because he is a pro wrestler he can't succeed in MMA. Antonio Inoki was able do both very successfully.

Answer 8

It depends on who he's up against. Wrestler's seem to do quite well in MMA.
BUT....If you saw his first MMA fight, it was a joke. It looked like David vs Goliath, but this time God wasn't on Davids side.

Answer 9

not at all... he is in deep trouble... far from pro wrestling here... in MMA its more then just about size and muscle... he is in for a rude awakening... by getting put to sleep
