Brock Lesnar... shut the hell up

by LR 8/21/2007 11:01:00 PM

I was hoping I would never have to hear about Brock Lesnar again after news surfaced that he was dealing with pro wrestling agents after the MMA bout he had with Min Soo Kim on June 2nd at the K-1 Dynamite Show. But.. Brock just couldn't help himself. He popped up in my internet browser claiming all sorts of unimaginable feats that he was going to force onto the MMA community. Lesnar interviewed with MMAWeekly and was stated as wanting to fight MMA now, not pro wrestle. He said that many of the MMA organizations have been "playing games" and that he's tired of it.

We're playing the games, but I'm tired of playing games,” stated Lesnar. “It's time for somebody to make a move. I'm going to go down to the UFC and see what the hell is going on down there.

Well, Lesnar.. here's a little information on what's "going on down there". Basically, we have a huge heavyweight division that would literally manhandle your steroid-ridden size and barebone MMA skills, yet you are still asking for a gigantic contract. Now, I'm assuming you are asking for a big contract. I could be wrong, but considering you are not signed yet by any organization and now you are publicly coming out with ridiculous statements, it's either you are trying to get more hype and money or nobody wants you. I wish it was the latter because I don't think you are worth our time, but I'm sure a lot of organizations want to see you fight again.

Asked if he has talked to UFC President Dana White about his interest in competing in the Octagon, Lesnar answered, "We've spoken. I cannot deny or confirm anything. I'm just telling you this, I'm going to be there Saturday night and I'm looking for a win. I don't care who it is. If I had to fight somebody, I'd like to fight Randy [Couture]. I'll fight [Gabriel] Gonzaga. We'll see what happens."

So, he wants to fight Randy or Gonzaga. Listen Lesnar, if you actually trained, you may have a chance against someone like Couture who runs off pure cardio and has some damn good wrestling skills. Your pure strength may actually beat him, and Gonzaga, until he proves his ju-jitsu is for real, may not stand a chance. But right now, both of these guys would probably destroy you in the ring. I can only see you charging like a bulldog right into a clinch and being outsmarted.

Questioned if the UFC is where he'd like to eventually compete, Lesnar responded, "The UFC, they're the big dogs on the street, obviously. You've got Randy Couture, who he's definitely going to be past his prime here. You've got Fedor [Emelianenko]. There's nobody out there that is unbeatable. Okay? All the media builds Fedor into this great monster. Well, every monster has his day. “There isn't a guy like me walking around that can do the things that I do. These guys, they don't know. Let's put it this way, in college, or everywhere that I've gone, everybody has said that I'm one strong son-of-a-bitch, and that's what I am, and I'm able to back it up. "

Ugh... everyone says I'm one strong son-of-a-bitch, big deal. Everyone says Wanderlei Silva hits like a damn truck, and people say Couture is amazingly strong as well. What difference does it make? I guarantee you that in most of Fedor's fights, mainly against Hammerhouse guys like Coleman, he was outpowered and still managed to easily submit his opponent. Fact is, it's skill that wins these battles. Butterbean got tapped by Minowa. That's a true David vs. Goliath battle. Butterbean didn't know anything about ju-jitsu though. The best line in this entire quote is "All the media builds Fedor into this great monster.". Lesnar, seriously, this isn't the god damn WWE. You don't run around town screaming like you are having a roid rage making up fake subplots. The media doesn't have to build up Fedor. His damn resume speaks for itself.

"I enjoyed watching Randy beat the sh*t out of Tim Sylvia. I enjoyed that. I mean take a look at this guy, Tim Sylvia, the guy’s feet; they're damn near webbed. He looks like the Swamp Thing. The guy is a vulture. He can't wrestle worth a crap. He's got a jab and a little right hand. There's no way. I'd double-leg his a** right through that cage so fast, and that would be the end of the fight. I'm tired. I'm tired of this. Brock Lesnar wants to fight somebody, somebody with credentials, and Tim Sylvia ain't the guy."

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Tim Sylvia either, but publicly talking shit about a guy who was UFC Heavyweight Champion is downright rude. Look at Randy Couture, he's an ambassador to the sport, soft-spoken, does great interviews, signs autographs, the works, and is NEVER a jerk to anybody in the media, opponents, or fellow MMA fighters. He's a true sport in every aspect of MMA. But then you have assholes like Brock Lesnar who acts like a little high school girl calling people out and saying they "suck" because he isn't getting what he wants, an MMA contract. Quit being a rude jerkoff. If you want to seriously fight MMA, fight some damn fights and prove you can hang. My guess is that if you ever run into the top guys, somebody like Fedor will literally rip your arm off.

On an ending note, I noticed he stated that nobody has his credentials in MMA. What kind of farce statements is that? Let's look at your credentials, Brock. Hmmm... oh look, you won some shitty fake wrestling championships in Japan. Wow, the IGWP fake WWE of Japan title, just like WWE - video. I'll say this, it takes some incredible physical attributes to do what you do in Pro Wrestling, but it's not MMA. People are really hitting you. I see Lesnar being another Mark Kerr. He may be able to stomp the crap out of a lot of guys, but people are going to start figuring out that hitting you in the face is the way to beat you. I think it'll be quicker than Kerr though. Kerr went for years without dealing with huge competition. I think people will definitely go for the throat on Lesnar right off the bat with heavy hands to his head. Back on point, you have a NCAA championship. So does Josh Koscheck, so what? I would say Mark Coleman has higher credentials as well. He has a NCAA championship, and he placed 7th at the Barcelona Summer Games. It's ridiculous how much non-factual crap comes out of this guy's mouth. Anyways, that's a bit of a rant, but I'm kind of sick of this guy just strutting around staking all these horribly bad claims. I actually want to see Lesnar get a deal. To Dana White, get Lesnar now so someone can shut him up.

Please note that this article is a rant. Yeah, yeah, rants aren't great for factual statements. There are some statements that are that of my own opinions.  It's an opinion piece people, laugh a little.

"The UFC, they're the big dogs on the street, obviously. You've got Randy Couture, who he's definitely going to be past his prime here. You've got Fedor [Emelianenko]."

How did you not call him out for incorrectly listing Fedor as someone signed with the UFC? He tried to list two UFC fighters, and only was able to name <i>one</i>. Shows how serious he is about MMA.

Well, he's an idiot. I figured I'd hit the bigger points, like making his wrestling credentials seem unbelievable. Fake wrestling belts aren't unbelievable. I want to see a Fedor vs. Lesnar matchup now. But I believe Lesnar is probably going off the whole Dana White epidemic that is saying a bunch of statements that have yet to happen, ie. "I will have Fedor by the end of the year" and "Fedor in the UFC is inevitable".. well Dana, where the hell is he then? That's right, you insulted his agents and now you are most likely heading toward being blacklisted if you don't at least give in to some demands.
