Will Lesnar be a succes in MMA?
 
Time to make your predictions.

Kalyx triaD 09-06-2006 07:14 PM

He took the Vikings to the Bowl, right? He'll be awesome.

Petethegeekstreet 09-06-2006 07:16 PM

Add this to a list of his failure. He and Jericho should have a competition.

Kane Knight 09-06-2006 07:18 PM

Depends on how you define success, really. I think he'll do good for himself as a novelty atraction.

Better Than You 09-06-2006 07:21 PM

Success: will he have a winning or loosing record?

Hanso Amore 09-06-2006 08:44 PM

He wont draw that much, hes been out of the limelight for too long, plus he wasnt that big of a star anyways.

He will get owned, maybe get a few nice hits in, but ultimatly will lose due to lack of experience.

he goes 0-5

Then quits until a year from now he tries boxing.

Nope. Try being cut before the season started.

I remembered when he came onto the field they played his enterance theme and people were just....quiet.

Fignuts 09-06-2006 09:02 PM

I think he is going to do very well. First off, he is a former NCAA champion. As far as takedowns are concerned he's going to do very well for himself. I've seen video's of him compete and he's amazing. Then there is the fact that he is being trained by Royce Gracie. So Once he gets the guy on the ground hes going to kinow how to end it.

I guess it all depends on how well his jiu-jitsu training goes. If he can successfully integrate Gracies training into his already phenomenal wretling and takedown skills, I think he will be a monster.

Fignuts 09-06-2006 09:03 PM

God damn stupid asfkighkj sig button.

Fox 09-06-2006 10:21 PM

Lesnar is a competitive beast.

Obviously he's no good when it comes to team sports, but he's proven time and again that when it comes to singles competition, he can kick ass with the very best of them.

As a former NCAA champion, a fucking beast of a human being, and with Royce Gracie as his trainer, I'm very, very excited to see what he can do in the world of REAL fighting.

Kane Knight 09-06-2006 10:28 PM

Lesnar nearly got kicked out of NCAA for being too aggressive. What was a hindrance in college might give him a huge edge.

Destor 09-06-2006 10:33 PM

He has ALL the right cards. Time will tell if he can put them together and become something HUGE. Brock could really lead this little verbal war (and I use this term loosely) between UFC and WWE into a whole new direction. Makes for an interesting story, gonna love to see this play out a year or two down the road.

Kane Knight 09-06-2006 10:35 PM

I think what really matters is how well he sticks to it. He hasn't exactly had a hsitory of that. Otherwise, he's got what it takes.

Destor 09-06-2006 10:38 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that only been in Pro-Wrestling right? I think its the lack of real competition that leaves him... un-inspired. Given the opportunity to compete I don't think you are going to have that issue to the degree, if at all, that you have in his Pro-wrestling career.

Plus there's a lot of down time for him.

Kane Knight 09-06-2006 10:46 PM

Pro Wrestling, football...

He was cut, but if he was really interested in football, he would have stuck it out somewhere else. There are other leagues, but he refused. Out and out. He falls short, he goes somewhere else.

Destor 09-06-2006 10:51 PM

I don't really see football as being the same. He was cut from the team in pre-season. I wouldn't keep at it either. But he must have met his dates in College, but I'm sure he was on a scholarship, so there were heavy consequences there. Dunno, I think this will be different. I still have a little faith in him. After this though...

I dunno. He fell pretty damn short at WrestleMania XIX, but he still hung around.



Heh heh heh. Botch jokes are fuckin' sweeeeet.

Mr. Nerfect 09-06-2006 10:59 PM

I personally think he will get his ass handed to him.

Lesnar is a huge guy, and he knows how to take a guy down and how to keep him down. If it comes to that, Lesnar could do some damage. Most guys would know this, though. They'd know all about Lesnar's grappling abilities, and try and turn it into a striking match. You can't go into a sport like MMA so publicised and expect people to be ignorant to your abilities.

Lesnar's also taken some pretty sick bumps in the ring. His body would have been worn down from life on the road. That Shooting Star Press gone wrong at WrestleMania XIX could come back to haunt him if someone gets his neck.

Lesnar is one badass motherfucker, but there are other badass motherfuckers out there, a lot of them who are probably better than Lesnar. The guy doesn't know where his lines are, and he will likely step over them.

I hope he does fail, so that we can see him in the WWE, again.

Just... Booooo.:nono:

The Naitch 09-06-2006 11:39 PM

Brock will probably have a go at doing stupid commercials. Oh wait, he did that already

So yeah, gay porn is next for Brock 'The Cock' Lesnar

I'd so mark out for the Cock Lock.

What Would Kevin Do? 09-07-2006 12:28 AM

Alienoid basicaly said what I was going to. I forsee Lesnar being given some "starter opponents" for hm to walk over... He get in over his head soon after, and gets destroyed.

Seriously, WTF was he thinking?

M-A-G 09-07-2006 12:31 AM

As far as his success goes I'm gonna take a stab and guess amatuer wrestling is a totally different ballgame than mixed martial arts. Now Undertaker I'd like to see take a crack at it.

El Fangel 09-07-2006 12:32 AM

I gave him a yes, as Im guessing he can take and give hits.

Undertaker is an old man with bad legs. He'd be destroyed in MMA.

I'd pay to see Taker get fucked up.

Kane Knight 09-07-2006 12:41 AM

I want to know what would make Taker more qualified than Brock.

Especially with Gracie in Brock's corner.

I don't like the guy, but I think he's got almost everything it take.

M-A-G 09-07-2006 12:48 AM

That's kind of my point. They love to put over the guy when he's wrestling and talk about his mad MMA skillz. Let's see him try that sh*t for real, yo.

M-A-G 09-07-2006 12:49 AM

I can just picture him in the back trying to lecture the rest of the fighters that they're triangle chokes aren't dangerous enough.

The Naitch 09-07-2006 12:57 AM

I'd mark out if he pulled an F5 out of nowhere

It'll be interesting but he won't be some prodigy or anything.

Mr. Nerfect 09-07-2006 02:07 AM

I would also mark out for The Undertaker being crippled in his MMA debut.

Bad Company 09-07-2006 04:30 AM

Lesnar is a fucking beast, he will destroy people.

Funky Fly 09-07-2006 05:21 AM

Dunno, he'd probably blow through a bunch of the lower ranked guys, but get his ass handed to him as soon as he faced someone with decent ability.

A lot of you are in for a fucking MASSIVE shock.

Brock is gonna be a monster in MMA. If he can get to 265lbs and get into the UFC, he'll be the biggest star in MMA history.
