Former WWE star Brock Lesnar signs deal with K-1 (MMA)

[Nuttkase]

I was browsing Wikipedia for MMA related info. when I noticed this...

On April 28, 2006, Brock Lesnar suddenly appeared inside the ring after the final match of K-1 Hero's Las Vegas and has since signed a deal with the K-1/Hero's. It is anticipated his debut will be in Oct 2006 at Yokohama Arena. He is currently training with Miletich Fighting Systems under UFC legend Pat Miletich. Brock Lesnar announced on 12 August 2006 in Las Vegas that he has joined the K-1 promotion and will have his first Mixed martial arts match in 2007. Lesnar has been training for awhile now and MMA legend Royce Gracie announced that he will serve as Lesnar's trainer. Right now, Lesnar's first fight is scheduled for February for K-1's Hero's group

I don't know how good he will be but he is training with Miletich and Royce Gracie is going to be his trainer...should be interesting.

HE WAS TRANING WITH MILITECH FOR A MINUTE BUT AS SOON AS HE SIGNED K-1 HE STARTED TRAINING WITH THE GRACIES. BAD MOVE IN MY OPINION.

I THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD MOVE...MOST MILETICH FIGHTERS ARE NOT VERY GOOD ON THE GROUND, SO THE BJJ SHOULD HELP HIM MORE IF HE DECIDES TO GO MMA..

i think he will get smoked

 

[MataSkonkas]

^^IN K1 MAYBE, BUT I THINK HE WILL DO GOOD IN MMA...

 

[-DROOP-]

Wasnt he with tha vikings?...

 

[MataSkonkas]

^^NEVER MADE THE CUT....

HE NEEDS GROUND WORK NO DOUBT BUT HE BETTER KNOW HOW TO STRIKE. OR ELSE HE'LL BE ANOTHER MARK COLEMAN.

K1 heros is their mma events, not the standup wars the regular k1 bouts have. Im sure he will be training back n forth with the gracies and MFS. Hes one of the few wrestling entertainment crossovers that will have a successful career in MMA. He needs a lot more training preperation imo but im sure he'll face a few cans first before they throw him in with a reputable fighter.

 

[MataSkonkas]

I THINK HE WILL DO ALOT BETTER THAN THAT CLOWN BOB SAPP....

BUT HE BETTER KNOW HOW TO STRIKE.

I've seen a few videos with his workouts and fight training. Don't doubt him.

That pic of Brockis old, he has a new tattoo on his chest now.

ISN'T K1 MUY THAI???

I believe its Karate/kickboxing/kungfu. thus the name K1. Its traditional tournament format is standup combat without submissions. But K1 Heros has MMA rules which is where we'll be seeing Brock have most of his fights.

More than likely Brock will be part of the freak show circuit in Japan for awhile. Akebono,Sapp,Choi, will probably all be on his list. If he gets some credible wins, who knows what could happen.

BUT DOES HE HAVE ENOUGH HEART AND A GOOD CHIN? CAUSE MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE NOGUIERA AND HUNT HAVE LOTS OF HEART. WHEN THERE HURT THE MOST THEY RISE TO THE OCCASION.
