UFC Quick Quote: Brock Lesnar calls BS, says he can take a punch

"I think it's a bunch of bulls---. The fights that I've gotten hit, I've stood and banged with Heath Herring, Randy Couture, Frank Mir -- I've taken a lot of shots. I mean, Shane Carwin. And I've yet to be knocked out. I had refs stop a fight for a submission and a TKO, which is a referee stoppage. I've never been knocked out cold."
-- Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar emphatically responds to a question from Sports Illustrated that questioned the mountain of a man's critics who say he has an inability to take a punch. Lesnar contends that he has yet to be put to sleep after being hit by some of the best heavyweights on the promotion's roster, which should be enough to prove his harshest critics wrong. At UFC 116, the former WWE star survived an onslaught of punches that had him backpedaling inside the Octagon by one of the most dangerous and powerful strikers in the heavyweight division, Shane Carwin. Lesnar absorbed everything Carwin could "Engineer" and proceeded to submit him in the second round after he was unable to capitalize with his vicious ground-and-pound. Three months later, Lesnar lost his UFC heavyweight strap to Cain Velasquez via technical knockout. The former All-American collegiate wrestling standout will have a chance to prove his critics wrong yet again on Dec. 30, 2011, at UFC 141, when he collides with arguably one of the best heavyweight strikers in all of mixed martial arts (MMA) -- former K-1 Grand Prix champion, Alistair Overeem. Will Lesnar be able to absorb the heavy bombs that surely await him when he steps up against "The Demolition Man?" Or will Overeem be the first to put Lesnar to sleep with his proven punching power?

Pro Sig record
10-5
1 Month sig bet with 10th Degree Whitebelt that DJ does NOT win the FLW tournament
exactly
Just because you’ve never been out cold, doesn’t mean anything… a ref stoppage for TKO is just as much of a loss
Odd thing happened today... had to re-sgn up for MMAMania. No clue why!

I've never been KO'd either and I'm the man.
"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

Where the fuck have you been?
You took a big shat on a quality FFB team (yours). Whatever was going on I hope it’s better now.

He CAN take a punch, he just isn’t willing to

Yeah, it's so obvious. You love getting punched and know just how to stay composed
and move away in a circle away form your opponents power.
It’s crystal clear!
Yeah
You just turtle up and cry for your mommy.

It's true his chin is good, he just doesn't take too well to getting hit. And yet Reem will get destroyed.
20$ on money pool season with kg12 as well as VM, on who finishes higher.
My 10$ vs Chorongota's 15$ on Brock to beat Reem. Also sig and pic for the whole month of January (minimum 200 comments).
True and true, unfortunately!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.

Agreed chin is fine, just reacts like a bitch. Reem got that power baby it’s about time you get hit clean by someone your own size. Nighty night. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!

He must have taken more than a few of them,
he doesn’t make any sense and break into a dance. Dumber than a door knob.
lol, much dumber!

So I didn't realize
til today that shit is on a Friday…is there a special reason they did that or what?
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Thanks guys.
I derped on that one.

I have issued my statement. If Chael wins against Silva, im officially the coolest guy on Mania and have the coolest dvd collection. If he loses.....then I shall leave Mania for good....

I give credit to brock in the carwin fight
If that wasn’t a hell of a comeback but the cain fight made him look silly. But he deserves a shot at redemption and a win over reem would be impressive. Still I’m sticking with my gut and reem will feed him a big knee while they clinch against cage.
by ElStIkO on Dec 21, 2011 10:58 PM EST via mobile reply actions
brock can't "take" a shot for shit. he turns sideways for god's sake everytime he gets tagged.
sure he has a great chin, butwhat is the point if you turtle up from the pain of getting hit. brock is the archtype bully. he delivers punishment, but folds when it is given back.

he is used to wwe where they fake punch

LMFA we got ourself a comedian! Shit ElStlko I think I shit myself I laughed so hard........
………………………………………………………………………..
……………………………………………………………………….
Now that I’m done laughing all I got to say is Brock is right once again. Fuck man last guy that took a solid shot from Carwin had to be sent to the hospital,,,,,,,,not Brock he got hit with a couple doozy’s and survived!! Like fuck if that was Reem I think he would be the first UFC death.
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
true enough
I think in this fight there is no loser just 2 badass guys fighting though
by ElStIkO on Dec 21, 2011 11:44 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Two exciting fighters I agree, I'm honestly not sold on Reem being better than Mir...not that means he sucks just simply I think Mir would beat Reem

That's an evolutionary trick used to scare off potential predators in the jungles of Burma.
At least I am better than kevjack at making picks. I am satisfied with that.
His chin is solid
In my avatar pic-what i dine on for every day of the week ( i hit the one in green twice on Fridays!!)
I hate Chorongota
Yes Lesnar doesn't like gettin hit,
But neither does Reem. He has turned his back plenty of times but doesn’t catch nearly as much shit for it. Suppose he didn’t start break dancing in the middle of the ring/cage.
I got nothin clever to say/

Comparing the twos reaction to punches is laughable

how so?
Karitonov v Reem. Reem gets tagged, turns his back and walks away with hands down. If that isnt panic in his eyes im not here. And that was not a one off. So both panic and revert to the gtfo of here defence. How is that not relatible and laughable?

And why is it laughable yes i will give it to you that lesnar breakdancing looks hella pathetic, but it is the same thing.

by Wowzer1 on Dec 22, 2011 12:40 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
But with Brock you have to stuff his takedown before you see that side, Reem you just have hit....a little bit of difference
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Standing and trading with a strikeris a lot different
Than curling up and turtling
Laughable might be a little extreme, but there not on the same level
I just want to say im not one of those reem/pride/anti ufc people that are all over Reems balls and think he will destroy brock. I think theres a damn good chance brock wins….a really good one, Im just leaning towards the reem
Long live Rampage

Point taken
and i agree with you on that. Same with the fight prediction, leaning towards Reem, but see it ending quickly and violently wouldn’t surprise me either guy winning

Reem is going to KO lesnar...period
and make me lots and lots of money $$$$

LOL, one of the most absurd comments i’ve heard, “it was a referee stopage, I’ve never been knocked out cold”. Yes Brock, if they didn’t stop Cain from beating you to a pulp, I’m pretty sure you would of went night night.
Not to mention that Lesnar was KO in training by John Fitch,,,

What a nice way to say how he curls in a ball (also works to keep bears away)
