Brockhead: Disjointed Lesnar interview shames MMA heavyweights

By Jesse Holland
Brock Lesnar was interviewed by MMAWeekly.com today about his future in MMA. I wouldn't go so far as to call him moonstruck, but his nonsensical yammering makes our interview with Josh Koscheck sound like the Gettysburg Address.
Here's a snip:
"I'm looking to fight somebody with credentials. I'm not just talking Silver Medals in Judo. I want a belt. I've fought a lot of tomato cans. I've already had it. You know? I want a fillet Mignon. Let's do it, and do it right. I want to fight somebody, somebody that's got credentials because I've got them too. There isn't a wrestler, there isn't a heavyweight out there my size that has done the things I've done."
Apparently Lesnar has been slugging it out in his kitchen pantry or maybe the pasta aisle at his local Wegmans since he claims to have fought a lot of tomato cans. Wasn't his debut just two months ago at K-1 HERO'S DYNAMITE! in Los Angeles?
Granted his opponent, Min Soo Kim, wasn't exactly tearing up the division at 2-5, but when does a 1-0 record against a can of creamed corn (sorry tomatoes) give you the right to call out accomplished veterans like Fedor Emelianenko, Randy Couture and even Tim Sylvia?
Another gem:
"You take Randy Couture for example, I mean he's the heavyweight champion of the UFC, but he's a small heavyweight. Let's face it, Tim Sylvia was not a legitimate heavyweight champion. I enjoyed watching Randy beat the shit 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 ass 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."
What surprises me about Lesnar is his complete lack of humility. Ordinarily I would applaud self-confidence and focused determination, but this whole pompous shtick reeks of familiarity.
Didn't we already go down this road a few years back?
In 2004, Lesnar abandoned his career in pro wrestling to pursue a career in pro football with the Minnesota Vikings. Despite never having played a single football game in college, Lesnar was confident that his athletic ability and will to succeed was enough to get him to the promised land.
From 2004:
"I am dead serious about this ... I ain't afraid of anything, and I ain't afraid of anybody. I've been an underdog in athletics since I was 5. I got zero college offers for wrestling. Now people say I can't play football, that it's a joke. I say I can. I'm as good an athlete as a lot of guys in the NFL, if not better...I wasn't the best technician in amateur wrestling. But I was strong, had great conditioning, and a hard head. Nobody could break me. As long as I have that, I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks."
Now compare that to 2007:
"I'm going to be attending the UFC this weekend, and I'm going to go down and watch and see in person, because I've watched these guys fight on TV. I'm going to go down there and see for myself and watch these heavyweights that I know I can beat. 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."
Brock Lesnar failed to make the roster for Minnesota Vikings and balked at the opportunity to play for their developmental league. Despite his size and athleticism he just wasn't good enough to play with the professionals regardless of how easy it may have looked on television.
Min Soo Kim notwithstanding, what makes him think that a career in mixed martial arts will be any different?
If size and strength were the deciding factors in MMA, then Bob Sapp would have victories over "Minotauro" Nogueira and Mirko Cro Cop -- not the other way around.
And by Lesnar's law, shouldn't Michael Jordan have retired as an All-Star outfielder with the Chicago White Sox?
I'm sure Lesnar will eventually find his way to the UFC or perhaps EliteXC and people will pay to see him the same way carnival patrons pay to see the bearded lady.
For me the signing can't happen soon enough. The sooner we get him in here, the sooner we can shut him up. Until then, we'll have to endure his narcissistic commentary on all things Lesnar.
It's a shame, too.
Lesnar could have probably gone down as one of the best pro wrestlers of all time. Instead he'll join Kurt Angle as just another performer who took one too many chairshots.

I laughed my ass off when I first heard this interview. Then I started to get really pissed. He’s tired of what? He only fought once, and it wasn’t impressive. He’s insane and a joke.

Got to love a guy who is 1-0 thinking he can take on the world.
If I was a promoter, I would be seriously worried about taking him on for anything but a freakshow. He has no loyalties. I could see him leaving the UFC at any moment. The guy gets bored with whatever he is doing. It happened with Amateur Wrestling. It happened with Pro Wrestling. It happened with American Football. It will happen with MMA.

Which part don’t you get….that is all pro wrestling marketing smack….and the desire to cash in on the UFC payday. He could be a new Mark Kerr force, but he needs to see some good competition before calling out the big boys.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he could take Tim down, but he is not going about a MMA career the right way.
If he had held poise and been more dignified, he would be a lot easier to accept. And he has to realize, people like Randy even Fedor have been doing this for YEARS. They didnt just quit their day job at professional wrestling and say “Damn MMA is easy!” It’s a full time job, career.
I hope he does get signed to the UFC, fights someone, so he can either eat his words, or show us the greatest natural MMA fighter at heavyweight.

You are all acting like he’s kimbo slice. Brock was the NCAA heavyweight champion. his wrestling background is far better than any current ufc heavyweight fighter and without regard to weight only koscheck was a better wrestler. he’s 280 pounds, fast and knows how to fight, unlike Bob Sapp. I don’t like his attitude and I’m not sure if he could pass the roid test but I’d put my money on him to beat Sylvia and he would give any heavyweight, except fedor, a fight.

Put him in with Arlovski, and we’ll see a first round KTFO of Lesnar. Oh wait, unless he takes Andre down and uses the lay ‘n’ pray technique just to show his critics that he can survive a round in the UFC. If he does this, then I say second round KTFO of Lesnar.
Go back to the WWE Brock, if they’ll even take you back… which I doubt.

Screw that I wish Emelianko would do us all the favor on this one and beat Broken Lesnuts into complete and utter submission and humiliation. Lesnuts need a serious lesson in Humility. Maybe some ChuteBox Clench, Cro Cop rib tenderizing, Minatoro Submissions, hell even a big floppy foot Sylvia headkick would be suffice. Or put someone in there on his strength category like Jeff Monson, and let the Snowman Darce Choke the life out of his arse.
One fight and he is the king of the world. Bring him to Brazil and let him bare knuckle his way outta the Jungle if he is so tough or to some real no holds barred Pancrase like the old days. Anyway I guess I am getting carried away and taking into to far. We can feed him to the lions…Blah Blah Blah may he receive a slow choke to sleep or severe hyperextension of his elbow!

I must say, I really REALLY want to see Brock in the UFC!
The reason of course is I want to see him get his ass kicked.
And the fact is that any fight with Lesnar against some main event caliber UFC fighter would sell a lot of tickets simply because of how much smack Lesnar is talking. Not to mention the fact that people do know him from the WWE.
So I would be really happy to see Dana White book Lesnar for a few fights, he makes the fights for the fans and I’m sure a lot of fans would like to see their favorite UFC stars beating the holy beep out of Lesnar!
So bring it on and let’s see the smackdown!

Brock is really saying that he wants to fight Tim Sylvia. This is WWE stuff. All the trash talk hoping Sylvia gets pissed enough and tells The UFC to set it up. I saw his fight and although he one, he didn’t impress me. The guy he was fighting was garbage and I thought he should have destroyed him even quicker. And a heavyweight is anyone fighting over 205 pounds, so how is Tim Sylvia not a true Heavyweight Brock? He has to cut weight just to get to 265 idiot.
It’s funny, people are always dissing Sylvia. Now we’re all like Sylvia will kick his ass. Could be a stunt by both.. Brock to get a fight, and Sylvia to get some fans.

I say we put him in with Randleman as the litmus test. Both are equally powerful & athletic with GnP style fighting. But with the wealth of ring experience Kevin has, it’d be a fair assesment of Brocks skills. If Lesnar can hold his own against the “Monster” I’d be mildly impressed.

It looks like his plan worked. His WWE style self promotion has all the MMA fans saying: “GET HIM IN THE UFC so he can get get bitch smacked by [Insert Name Here].” He is a master in the art of self promotion.
@getrawbc – He wasn’t referring to weight, he was referring to Tim Sylvia only being champ because of lack of competition in the division.
He has the wrestling skills necessary to dominate the division, if he steps up his Striking and BJJ, you might see Lesnar in the top 5 really soon.
Who else has freakish strength with outstanding wrestling? Oh, thats right, Matt Hughes. Wasn’t he a champ or something? haha…

WOW, what a fool. I wish I had more time right now to blabber about Brock Lesnar, but unfortunatley I don’t. Just want to point out something. This was just the first of the 101 outrageous claims he made in the interview. When I was reading it, I was like, oooh, I’ll have to point this one out. Then he just goes on and on and on…
From the article:
He added, “I hope Randy wins that fight. I hope Randy wins that fight and then I can fight him in December.”
From a 1-0, unsigned free agent to being the overnight #1 contender in the UFC? Brock, yes you are big and strong. But so are all the lumberjacks in the strong man competition. Yet, we don’t see them cutting 1980’s style pro wrestling interviews saying they can beat the UFC HW champ.
This is the same as a 30 year old picking up a wiffle ball bat for the first time and making contact with a wiffle-curve to think that he can be in the Major Leagues tomorrow smacking grand slams off of Johan Santana.
He needs a serious reality check and I can think of at least 20 fighters that can do it VERY easily.

you’ve been watching too much wrestling.mma is not just who’s the biggest or strongest.sounds like you’ve got a head full of bullshit if you think that block head can defeat all the guys that you’ve mentioned. have you even seen fedor fight? my guess is not.fedor is big and very powerful but he also shows technique and conditioning.this is not phony scripted wrestling. example,pride 16 mark “the hammer” coleman goes up against minatauro nogera.mark is bigger suppose to be more powerful and minatauro triangle chooks him out in the first round.also experience accounts for alot. i don’t think steriod induced block head will go very far in mma.looks can be very deceiving.

First of all, Brock Lesnar is on the juice. No doubt in my mind.
Secondly, I saw his fight with Kim Min Soo. I am not impressed at all. Brock relies too heavily on his power. Kim Min Soo showed absolutely no technique in defending the mount Brock’s mount. KMS basically gave up when Brock mounted him. Super weak fight. Based on that, Brock thinks that he is the God of MMA? Laughable. On that note, I would like to see him try to move up the ranks and get into the UFC as he so wishes. He wont be able too but I would LOVE to see him against a top 10 UFC heavyweight. Then he will have the humility beat into him.

This is all obviously just act to get attention and to hopefully get signed to the UFC. He also said during the interview that he’s going to UFC 74 and hopes to make something happen. Maybe he’s hoping the camera will pan to him, and there will be sort of loud reaction and people will think, “Is that brock lesnar? I wonder how’d he do in MMA? Is he signed to the UFC? I hope he is!” And there will be more buzz about it.
I definitely think he can be a force in MMA. He has such an advantage on most heavyweights in size and strength, and coupled with his top-tier wrestling background, he has what it takes to be atleast a competent heavyweight without much effort. Only if he truly dedicates himself to learning other aspects can he become a true contender.
Look at Tito ortiz. Nothing but great wrestling skills, and he’s atleast a top 20 in the world. Imagine if Tito were fighting against welterweights (which is what the typical size and strength advantage that brock would have).

We always here the same kind of talk in pre-fight interviews quotes like “I’m bigger”, “I’m stronger”, “my wrestling…”, and so on (Joe Riggs is a huge example of this, everytime he dropped to a lower weight division he thought that he would beat everyone, which was never the case). What makes this talk different. Frankly, I’m not suprised by this guy, on his first fight he had problems passing the guard and was never able to pull the guy off his his chest when he was on the mount position, were was his strength then? Although he does have the makings of a heavyweight Shawn Sherk, he still needs to be tested against straikers, Sherk has proven to have a strong jaw and allows him to survive, but we still need to see the same thing from Brock.

Surely Dana will not let him try to pull that kinda of bullshit into the UFC. The UFC is not fake scripted shit.

best bjj: bj penn
best judo: karo parisyan
best kick boxing: mirko crocop
best muay thai: anderson silva
best boxing: anderson silva
best wrestling: josh kosheck
best shoot/takedown: josh koscheck
best takedown defense: george st. pierre
best ground and pound: tito ortiz (of the old)
best conditioning: sean sherk
best chin: mark hunt
how sbout you? what can you say?
Nice. But I’d go with Randy for best wrestling, Fedor for best GnP, Tito or Matt Hughes for best conditioning (steroids disqualify Sherk), and Cabbage for best chin.

At first I thought this guy is crazy. But I think about it more and I dont think that so much. I think he is actually promoting himself, I mean look at all the comments this has so far. When he was in Pro wrestling, that is what they taught him how to do, is work the crowd over and get a reaction, and thats how he made 6 digits a year. He is doing the exact same except with the MMA fans. He works the crowd over and now everyone wants to see if he is for real or they want to see him get his ass beat in his next fight. Regardless of what the fans want, everyone wants to watch him fight! I actually think he would be a threat in the UFC, he is an absolute monster. I cant believe he only ways 280, I would have guessed about 300 something. A wrestler that size is a threat to anyone. Somebody said in a comment earlier that Kurt Angle signed with the UFC, if this is true, I definitely would like to see Lesnar in there. If Kurt Angle really is in the UFC , then Koscheck is no longer the best wrestler there. I think this is awesome that we are getting more phenominal wrestlers in the UFC ( more Coutures/Koschecks). Im not so sure how Angle will fair, but if Lesnar comes, Watch Out Ppl!

F*ck him! I hate tim sylvia more then ne 1 but this kat is nutts. I would never want to c him in the UFC. He is a Freakshow.
He should not get a chance to fight any of the Elite HW in the UFC.
His next fight should be a freakshow fight
Brok Lesner vs. Kimbo would be fun to watch. 2 tough dudes that r clueless in MMA.
Tim “the Swamp Thing” Sylvia lol I hope Bruce Buffer starts anouncing him like that
Kimbo is training with Bas Rutten, Im pretty sure he has a clue.
Lesnar is a awesome wrestler, and is training in all areas of MMA.
And you sound like you have anger problems, and would like to see you fight either one of these guys.

I didn’t really read any responses, but I’m pretty sure most of them included something about how Lesnar will get owned in the UFC. I disagree, though. While he is by no means a top-tier fighter, I think he’s going to maul his way through much of the competition that is put in front of him once he signs with the UFC (from the article on mmaweekly.com, he seems pretty confident that it is where he’ll end up). Hell, I’d even go far enough to say he’d manhandle Nogueira, because he is rather beastly, even moreso than Bob Sapp. Lesnar has some pretty good wrestling, and he took out Min Soo Kim (who is no pushover in Judo) by getting full mount immediately. There aren’t many people in the UFC heavyweight division that could handle a ground assault by this guy, but I’m sure there’s a striker out there that would introduce his nose to his almond-sized brain (Vera, Sylvia (maybe), Cro Cop (would LOVE to see that).
He is sort of a scrub, though, and it annoys me that someone with his sort of idiocy gets into the spotlight of a rising sport. I would like to see Dana White bring Genki Sudo out of retirement and have him submit Lesnar, Butterbean style.

I loved this post. I agree 100%. I am a wrestling fan, MMA fan, and Lesnar and Angle have been my 2 favorites. I see how he is promoting himself to get reactions. I think it’s great! I really think he can back up his words with his actions. No one can out power him. If he learns good BJJ I’m sure he’ll have a great future in this sport. He’s still relatively young at 30.

Dude, Condit already whipped this guy’s asss. Randy would smash him.
I know that this person was corrected a couple ot times already. But if he actually knew who Carlos Condit was or who Brock Lesnar was, he would have never made the comment. Carlos Condit is a skinny 170 lb WW – highly talented, and I want to see him in the UFC soon, but still a walking string bean. On the other hand, you have roided up Brock Lesnar who would have to cut weight to make 265 and as an absolute monster. The two of them would NEVER be allowed to fight each other, and if they did, Condit would not ‘whip this guy’s ass" Even as skilled and well rounded as Condit is, he would get squashed by Lesnar.

IS THIS TRUE THEN HERE YOU HAVE ANGLE VS LESNAR!!!!!!
Maybe not what Brock is looking for but the selling point alone makes a ppv worth having!!
They’ll get in there and prove that the best wrestler is your Olympic champion Kurt Angle. He’ll win with the three I’s: intensity, integrity and intelligence. Oh it’s true, it’s damn true.

i dont know if anyone else agrees but i think tito’s conditioning is the most overated thing in mma since big Tim (pre- couture ass whoopin). he looked tired against Griffen, Liddell and rashad. The Rashad fight was the worst.imo. and cabbage has been knocked out a couple times.

Of course Lesnar is scared of Sylvia, who trains with plenty of NCAA heavyweights from UI everyday.

Even those motherfucker are no match for Brock Lesnar.
Im with you on that one, those motherf*ckers the fighters you mentioned wouldn’t know what the f*ck to do, if a real life BULL like Lesnar came at them full force, SO NOW THAT HE’S CALLED OUT EVERYONE, LETS SEE WHICH ONE HAS THE BALLS TO “shut him up” or “make him swallow his words” I really really want to see who will “put him to sleep”. Obviously you don’t know Lesnar, if you think he’ll be a little p*ssy and tap out. He is a Psycho, Maniac, Serial-Killer, Executioner, but just you all wait and see. Put him with whomever, does not matter! UFC in my opinion would be afraid to sign him. Later

Brock Lesnar would be amazing in the UFC but I think he is too up himself to take it seriously. With his skill set the only thing he would have to focus on is stand up (mainly using his huge shoulders to sheild his chin) as well as movement and punches even though I cant imagine him being a knockout expert, then work on his BJJ (even if it is only to allow him to take and defend against obvious submissions oppurtunities).
If he could achieve this I could imagine him being a perfect fighter for the good old couture perfected strategy, wear your opponent down then finish it up with ground and pound.
However he seems to under estimate MMA, big mistake.

The UFC is looking for the best in the game and Lesnar is not one of them. If he steps into the cage, the UFC will become a circus and the next thing we know, we have another WWE with girls following fighters down to the ring and managers throwing salt in opposing fighters’ eyes.

Are you kidding me? Tim Sylvia is not the issue, this is about Lesnar. Did it only take you one fight from Lesnar and now you think he’s the next big thing? I couldn’t care less that he is an ex-pro wrestler. The issue is where does he get off making those clown like comments with only one MMA fight? Of course he’s a scary dude, but he’s a disgrace to MMA if he thinks the whole game is that simple. Suddenly a hotshot after beating a mediocre 2-5 fighter? As a reader said above, it’s all for the payday … but don’t believe the hype, when he starts really getting into it, he’ll find himself in a sub and he’ll be humbled nice and quick.

Hi guys.. reading this site for a year now.. and i have the urge to post something about this..:) (24yrs old from holland)
The first thought that comes up in my mind whit that kind of fighters is “they have no idea at all what they are saying” just tak shamrock a couple of years ago.. he got cocky too because he was in the WWF (or some sort ..not sure) those guys think that if they can throw around a big guy and ppl cheering. and the show of being the baddext biggest dude.. they look at the more slim men from mma world and tehy think they can do the same to them.. and now this, he gets soem cheap mma fight and starts to get all “tank abbot” on these people.. now what did we learn? shamrock is a devastating fighter but lost the touch of the mma world and lost alot more then just a fight. Tank abbot got all biggy at vendetta saying all kinds shit about other great fighters… and got owened by good fighters he did not know about.. cockyness will cost you your head.. same as this guy.. fist time i heard about him and i already dislike his character and motivation for being a part of a great new upcoming fightingsport… just give this dude 1 fight contract to get his ass beat back to the pil-popping shows he did before.. (i have no negativity about the show wrestle world) i just dont like these types.. :)

You HAVE to consider the level of competition! So you are saying that if Randy had fought a bunch of Eddie Sanchez’s, Gabe Reudiger’s, Jake O’Brien’s, Brad Imes’s, Herb Dean’s, Justin McCully’s, and Sean Salmon’s his entire career and had a record of 20-1, that he would deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?

Brock Lesnar has the athletic ability to beat alot of the current crop of heavyweights. He isnt just all talk, the man is a genetic freak with fantastic wrestling cred. We have not seen a Heavyweight in MMA with his credentials. He also comes with HUGE name recognition and the UFC would be silly NOT to sign him. Could he beat Sylvia or Couture now? Maybe, but probably not. With another 3 or 4 fights under his belt though he could be the next big thing, excuse the pun, a real force unlike anything we have seen so far. Don’t disregard Lesnar because of his pro wrestling background, the man is a definate contender and MMA has everything he has been looking for: real competition, decent breaks between fights and the chance to be part of a real sport challenging himself. The only thing that can stop Brock is himself.
