A heel hook isn't a wrestling move so it's totally a rookie BJJ mistake to fall into. Do you bash guys like Lidell for being just a "puncher"? Sure, he's got some ground skills, but you never saw 'em other than his take-down defense. Bottom line is that Lesnar has shown improvement every time out. I fully expect him to beat Mir this time out. Brock was 106-5 in his NCAA career. A heel hook isn’t a wrestling move so it’s totally a rookie BJJ mistake to fall into.

Brock on the other hand looks fast, agile, has decent hands, and besides going for subs always is improving his position and continuously punishes his opponent. What do you expect from the guy an armbar from the wizzar, or pat barry leg kicks, let the guy grow as a fighter then ridicule him. although brock is still quite raw i think credit should be given where its due. lashley is a perfect example of a big wrestler with no stiking skills and who attempts to lay on people or against them, without ever improving his position.

What was his record off the top of your head? I feel like im beating a dead horse with the Randy fight so ill leave it at that. i guess that it is what it is then… my point is that it urks me to see really big guys that have no mma discipline (other then wrestling) come in with the “BROCK SMASH” mantality and lay on top of people (Heath Herring fight) and if that doesnt work then try to bulldose them. i suppose that id expect someone with a wrestling background like brock not to get caught in such a “lucky” submission or make a “rookie” mistake.

Brock was dominant in the Mir fight until he made a rookie mistake and got caught in a "lucky" sub. He dominated Herring who isn't a top 10 contender, but can beat a lot of guys. I certainly wouldn't say that he was "getting his A*S kicked by Randy for 3 rounds" since it was actually rather even, and the fight ended just over three minutes into the second round. But that's okay, don't let the facts get in the way of you saying your piece.

And not to mention getting his A*S kicked by Randy for 3 rounds up until a "lucky" punch came around. And how old is Randy again? Just wrestling and hammerfists wont get you anywhere in MMA...

And he be Randy Couture... I guess Randy Couture's not a "real fighter" though.... Brock has been against Mir once already, and is going against him again.

im 6ft 240lbs, granted im no where near chisled, but lashley looks like a freakin monster… even though he is only a couple inches taller, his stature and the aura he gives off make him look bigger, or makes you feel smaller…

id say he is the top prospect in MMA HW division, but that doesnt mean much… there are plenty of sports that have top prospects that once they make the show(UFC, NHL, NFL etc etc etc) they dont live up to our expectations… so its hard to say how he will do…

i think hes taking the right steps though and working his way up and fighting his way through the ranks… if he continues to improve and develope his skillset it wont be long before he gets into the UFC
