His striking sucks. I have better technique then Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar is one fighter I would absolutely love to see adopt a safer fighting style, at least in the standup. Like Rashad and GSP, he doesn't take shots very well. And taking a cue from those two, he should be using his freak athleticism and speed to better utilize his movement and footwork. I mean, don't stand in the pocket and slug away like you're freakin' Wanderlei; be more tentative, tactical, and efficient with your strikes.

 

Brock has unmitigated power in his hands and if he was more strategic -- even simply sticking to basic, well-timed jabs -- he could be that much more effective and better avoid the kind of danger that flips his turtle switch on.

 

IMO, Brock needs to work on his attitude and mentality moreso than his technique. He goes in there and thinks that just because he's the bigger guy he can bully everyone. He charges in there with guns blazing, doesn't care enough to be patient, and recklessly throws just to be the aggressor. Hopefully, he has learned from his setbacks and comes back fighting smarter.

+1.... I always imagined if he ever went down to Greg Jacksons camp, would that ever help him.

Training with Jackson would probably do him tons of good, but realistically speaking he would never bother with that. He's all about being with his family, keeping outside trips to a bare minimum, and paying a few dudes to come down to his gym every so often to "polish" his game, which I think is complete horse-****. You're gonna have a hard time becoming a real fighter that way. Everything has to be convenient for Brock and I think that's the biggest flaw in his camp.

 

I don't know about now, but up to the Velasquez fight his boxing coach, Peter Welch, only made weekly trips down to Deathclutch to help with his striking. That's friggin' sad. Someone as green as Brock should be sparring full-on everyday.

 

If Brock ever turns in another performance like his last two fights, Marty Morgan should be lynched.

Don't get me wrong, Lesnar works like a friggin' dog. In fact, in terms of the things he does you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the sport whose at his level. Luke Richesson, who works with the Jacksonville Jaguars, is his strength and conditioning coach and has him doing the most insane things -- just crazy, elite-calibre workouts. So, there's no disputing that Brock trains at the absolute highest level as a professional athlete. But it's a different story when you're talking about training MMA, I have to think. He needs to spar more and he needs to change his standup approach. More GSP, less Leben.

His stand up is horrible and that would be ok if he could take a decent punch to the face without running away.

 

33 yrs old, punch shy, & looking at possibly fighting w/ dos Santos, Velasquez, & Carwin

to regain the heavyweight title - I don't think its gonna happen ...

just because you decide to go toe to toe with someone doesnt mean you have any striking ability.

His offensive striking was pretty crisp vs Cain. Everything else was ordinary.

he outstruck mir' date=' couture and herring. his standup isnt great , but its not as bad as people make it out to be.[/quote']

 

Herring? You mean the one punch in the beginning of the fight? :rolleyes: Herring knew Brock was a wrestler, and Brock used that to his advantage to land a quick straight. That's all there was

 

Mir? Which fight are you talking about? The one where Brock got dropped by "Faber Double Knee's"? Mir was whooping him on the stand up in the second fight up until Mir threw those stupid knees and got trapped on the ground

 

Couture? Cause he dropped him? They were clinched for quite some time, and Randy is a warrior, but there was no way he wasn't using a lot of energy to keep Brock's weight from crushing him up against the fence without getting tired.

TBH when your as big as Lesnar you do not need to have crisp standup...one hit from him will put you out or at least rock you enough to give him a great chance to finish you.

 

he just has poor defensive striking, hes like Koscheck who swings that 1 big right and it will more than likely KO you.

 

he gets alot of hate for his WWE days, end of the day he made a high level BJJ blackbelt like Mir look like he had never took a class of Jiu Jitsu in his life in the rematch.

Obviously you do technique when you are that big because Lesnar has never KO'd anyone lol. He may have TKO'd but that is a huge difference. Not to mention the only person he rocked with one punch standing was Randy, and Randy is old and he was probably gassed seeing as he had controlled Lesnar Against the cage most of the fight.
