Brock Lesnar in MMA

Brock Lesner, the WWE star turned MMA fighter is one big man! Even for a heavy weight he looks a giant, with his heavy muscled frame and long powerful limbs. But will he live up to his expectations, in the real world combat sport of MMA.

It is a priority that anyone who fights Brock in the future must prepare well. Many people think that technique alone wins fights, and although technique will get you a long way, brute strength and power will always help, and looking at Brock he certainly is not shy of them. Anyone thinking that he would be a walkover because he is inexperienced in MMA will have to think again.

So what does Lesnar offer in the way of fighting ability. Well firstly he is a well rounded wrestler. Having a strong wrestling background from his high school days to his collage days, he has obviously gained a great amount of experience there. And then his time spent in WWE. Although people see this as “fake fighting”, it has to be understood that in order NOT to hurt each other while performing all the acrobatic and movie like techniques, a good understanding of body mechanics and movement must be acquired, and this can definitely help with submission fighting. Then there is his first MMA fight with Min Soo Kim. He dominated him with his size and strength and submitted him (with strikes in under a couple of minutes).

The only thing that maybe could bring Lesnar down is himself. Because he is very strong and powerful, it is very easy for him to rely on his attributes to much, but as long as he continues to train hard and gains a greater understanding of MMA through more fights, we just maybe could see a great future heavyweight. Good luck Brock!
