Because I bet when Paulson nails him with it, he taps fast or hurts bad!! Conditioned response my friends...lol
And Mir is that, a real deal ground expert who learned stand up Vs. a wrestler or a striker learning submission.
Brock has been cross training how long? year? But got a real training camp the last 4 months before his fight. That doesnt qualify as anything real in my book. When he relocates to Orange county to train full time, i will take him more seriously.
Like Kimbo Slice, he relocated to Ca. to train with Bas full time. He has spent the time to really learn ground and will be good at mma. He is getting brought up the right way. Can he beat any of the top 10? nope!! But he is still learning. 3 years, he will be the real deal!!!  |
By all indications, Lesnar has been training for 2 years now. Pat Militech said he was a monster a few years back when he trained at MFS. Could it be bullshit, sure, but every report says he's been training every day for 2 years, with different camps.
You could see the setup a mile away, Mir hooked his left foot behind Lesnars calf, then Mir grabbed Lesnar's ankle, at that point I was on my feet yelling "KNEE BAH!!!"
Sorry, a year training with Paulson should have had him ready for it. Liborio taught us a kneebar setup from halfguard with the gi on a friday, the next saturday on open mat, I pulled it off rolling No Gi. WITH the same training partner I drilled with it in GI!!! If a lowly middle aged, chubby blue belt can pull off a technique he learned the night before, a NCAA Wrestling Champ should have no problem doing the same, and more importantly, be able to defend it. Which is not the case with Lesnar.
I really think alot of his "Training" was made up.
