Brocktober FINALLY Reveals the Truth!

I hope we have all come back down to earth regarding the Zuffa PR machine produced myth that is Brock Lesnar. I say "we" because for some reason, in the last week or two, I started thinking that I must be wrong about the new "baddest man on the planet" since no one else seemed to agree with my sentiment that he was highly overrated. I actually slightly started buying into the nonsensical crapola that permeated the MMA community. As they say, trust your original instinct. You can't tell me that a dude with SIX pro fights is the best fighter on the globe, but plenty of you tried to and even more of you had him ranked as the #1 heavyweight in the world. As we all saw last night, that was/is a huge steaming pile of stinky BULLSHIT. Penn & Teller need to do an episode on this!


Major props have to be given to Cain Velasquez for slaying the proverbial dragon in the spectacular fashion that he did. The beatdown Cain put on Brock was absolutely phenomenal and incredibly entertaining. As good as his performance was, it fortified serious deficiencies in Brock's very young, inexperienced, highly limited MMA skillset.

•It is now blindingly obvious that Brock HATES getting hit. If you so much as tap the guy in the face he cowers like a little bitch into the fetal position. As my brother described it right after the stoppage, it looked like how someone reacts when getting attacked by a vicious dog. Brock's attempt at defense was to curl up in a ball and protect his vitals. For a 280 pound, muscle bound "professional fighter", he's the biggest pussy on the planet. Is that the reaction we expect from the UFC HW champion of the world? What does that say about the value of that belt? Just to remind you, big, tough Brock Lesnar did the same exact pussy shit in his prior fight with Shane Carwin. Do you fail to see the pattern here? If it only happened once it might be able to be overlooked, but for him to react the exact same way in two consecutive fights, and in over 30% of his total fights is very telling. Obviously, he doesn't spar hard in training. He might move around with training partners and pseudo-spar but no one is going full blast at him trying to punch and kick his head off. No one in his camp is anywhere near a world class striker, and no offense to Cain, but neither is he. Big, bad Brock obviously never gets hit when he spars. Ask Wanderlei Silva if he takes hard shots to the face when he trains. He'll laugh at you, just like most people with a brain were laughing at Mr. Lesnar after last night.

•Brock's stand-up striking skills are abysmal! Sure, if a dude as big and strong as he is lands something clean, it will hurt you, but that doesn't mean he has any real striking skills to speak of. There is no technique in his punches, they're all arms and incorporate absolutely no hip movement. He doesn't bother throwing any kicks, because he can't. The only decent striking technique he has is knees. In a word, fail! As bad as all that is, his footwork is even worse. His idea of footwork is bumrushing his opponent. That's the skill level of one of the best heavyweight mixed martial artists in the world?!?

•Brock's chin and his ability to take shots also has to be questioned after these last two fights. He drops after any minimal contact to his face. Even his huge, heavily muscled torso crumbled from a single knee from Cain. It was actually a knee that dropped him right before Cain GnP'd his big fat head back into reality. That reality is that Brock is just not that good and has HUMONGOUS problems in his game, some that are not easily remedied. In fact, some of his problems are almost impossible to fix. Its either you "have it or you don't" kind of stuff. Brock doesn't have it! Its tough to teach someone to enjoy getting punched in the face, especially someone like Brock who has such a seemingly innate aversion to it.

•Brock's cardio? Suspect as well. He was stumbling around the cage like a drunken fool from what appeared to be exhaustion. Once he was on his back he stopped moving. His hips were completely immobile. He made no attempt to improve his defense or position. As the ever so eloquent Joe Rogan stated THREE minutes into the fight, "Brock is exhausted!" Yes, you read it correctly, 3 minutes! Is that what we should expect from world class fighters and athletes, complete exhaustion after 3 minutes of competition? I hope Shane Carwin is reading this because he too is in the same "no cardio" boat that Brock is floating around in. Hmmm, do you think these guys are carrying too much muscle? Cain must have been bugging out on how easy it was to cut Brock up and pound his face in. The guy was virtually motionless on his back. Only two things cause that to happen; either complete exhaustion or freezing up in a state of panic. Pick your poison because neither is good for a professional fighter. I happen to think the latter is worse and much harder to fix. The point is, Brock has major issues to deal with. What is blatantly apparent is that he's not a true fighter, he's an athlete who is attempting to fight. There's a huge difference between the two!

I seriously hope these last two fights put the reality of Brock Lesnar into proper perspective. Its outlandish to consider him one of the best heavyweight fighters in the world. If you are in the FIGHT game and you crumble like he did after getting hit, two fights in a row now, you have serious problems. You have to wonder why he chose fighting as a profession in the first place. We all know Brock is a huge, athletic, fast, strong human being. That can only take him so far. Thankfully, Cain has killed the Lesnar hype and his aura of invincibility as well. And it took him only a Mir, I mean, mere four minutes to do so. No one will fear Brock anymore and why would they knowing that if you touch him with anything significant he will crawl into the fetal position. I've seen teenage girls react better to getting punched in the face. I found it extremely humorous watching the post-fight episode of MMA Live on ESPN, where Kenny Florian, Randy Couture and the "big boss" Dana White were all saying that Brock needs to vastly improve his striking and somehow get used to getting hit. That's a first, a world class fighter who is supposedly one of the best on the planet, being spoken about in such a manner. It was hysterical, like they were evaluating some prospect who they just went to see train at a gym somewhere in the woods of Minnesota. Given Brock's lack of real fighting experience, they pretty much were!

Hey Brock, if you can find any headgear big enough to fit your fat head, put it on and let people punch and kick you, you big pussy!

I'm just sayin'.............
