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. |
I know what you are talking about. Knowing BJJ is one thing, making it second nature is a whole other subject Brock cant touch!! Take downs is his expertise not submisions and playing guard. I am a fucking stud on the ground and im really good at wrestling take downs, but a half ass college wrestler will take me down almost at will!! I can submit them just as fast, but i still will get dropped.. I have traded submissions for take downs so many times. The art of the take down is so technical and complex it took me 5 years of working it after BJJ class and weekends with wrestlers. About 12 hours a week for 5 years before i got really good and was using it at a competitive level. (it was competing at the Pam-Am level for BJJ and college wrestling was my edge over my Brazilian competitors)..
And you are going to convince me that this guy is going to be good at submissions, in one year??? and if so what submissions? you and i know there are a stupid amount of submissions out there!! And what about sweeps and reverseus? Transitions? You cant learn and absorb more than 3 moves in a class...
Keep in mind, MMA covers so much more than just BJJ.. how much time spent on striking? something he never did before. Kicking? Cage control? Wrestling, i will give him..lol
Doing it with your training partner, in the studio is one thing, doing it to someone that is trying to do it to you is another story!!
I like Brock and would like to see him do good, but he is in to deep too fast. I have seen it happen a million times. Keep in mind Brock had a very serious scared look on his face when he tapped! The "I do not now what to do" look on his face. Brocks confidence is damaged big time..
As for Kimbo Slice i know him and his camp, he is getting brought up right. he has been training hard MMA for 3+ years. 3 more years we will see. His fights are chosen carefully. Kimbos confidence increases with every fight.
No disrespect, i love your posts and threads. It brings me back to the old school BJJ boards i used to post on... Just sharing my opinion with some of my insight from my personal experience.
