Cole Konrad is considerably better than Brock Lesnar in every single area of MMA

Photo of Cole Konrad by Dave Mandel via Sherdog.com.

That's according to three different guys.

No one is quite sure who any of them are, but rest assured they confided to former UFC heavyweight and recent Bellator-signee Sean McCorkle that Konrad "has his way with Lesnar whether grappling or striking."

From his recent post on The Underground:

I thought I'd let you guys know that I have heard from 3 different guys who have trained at Death Clutch that Konrad is considerably better than Brock Lesnar in every single area of MMA. And that he has way with Lesnar whether grappling or striking.

It might not have shown completely in his fights yet, but that's a scary notion if true considering how short a time he's been training.

Konrad (8-0), who trains with Lesnar at DeathClutch in Minnesota, is undefeated and ruling the 265-roost under the Bellator umbrella; however, five of his eight wins have come by decision.

Anyone think "The Polar Bear" is the next big thing at heavyweight?

I could have my way with Lesnar in striking, and no, Konrad does not out grapple Lesnar.

He probably does out grapple Lesnar, that's not surprising

If you can make out what Dana White says in this interview, you are a better man than me! Start at 8:05...Uncle Dana slurs something at around 8:11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX4UNVVN3Jk#t=2m32s

But Cain isn't any better at speaking...listen to him to try to answer Ariel Helwani...he starts at 1:20 to 1:32...then when you think it couldn't get worse, it does at about 1:40 to 1:53

welcome to the intertubed webs.

A month may as well be the early 1900s.

As far as Konrad – McCorkle is just tryin to hype him up because he’ll most likely face him in Bellator (if he’s not too bummy for the other HWs which i believe he is). He’s essentially cushioning himself if he loses or marketing himself if he wins.

im not saying you shouldnt be reporting this

but why is McCorkle starting these kinds of statements with “just thought id let you know….” and it seems his statement is more to bash Brock than it is to talk up Cole….

by Newfie3 on Jan 23, 2012 1:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Because Corky is more desperate for hits than I am

obviously

if you wanted hits, you wouldn’t be posting a Bellator related story

I went 0-2 against Phasebook. Why do I feel that I am just padding his record?" Next time I won’t pick a guy whose best weapon is a somersault against a real bad guy like Scarface.

That sounds like crap....

…..cooked in pan to hype up Konrad. That guy has skills in the wrestling dept, but the rest of his game is sub par and he makes Roy Nelson look positively chiseled. bLAH

These sound arguments and relevant prognostications are getting in the way of my trolling......

by KYRedneck on Jan 23, 2012 2:05 PM EST reply actions  

That's not the least bit surprising

It’s easy to think his striking and BJJ are better than Brock’s, but he also came up wrestling much stiffer competition than Brock so I wouldn’t doubt for a second that his wrestling is better as well. That said, McCorkle could just be throwing out some BS since he is an unabashed attention whore.

Pretty crazy

how he has that much fat on him even though he probably works out hard at least 6 days a week. Guess it is the eatting and genetics.

When a fighter says something in poor taste I usually forward it to UFC’s customer service e-mail to make sure it is addressed and they are either fined or fired, depending on how severe.

by Territo on Jan 23, 2012 2:43 PM EST reply actions  

Its the eating. He has a lot of excess body fat. He is used to the hard work outs and probably has a ton of functional strength. But absolutely no discipline with his eating habits.

Not Impressed By What I've Seen of Conrad

Not his skill set or physique. If you’re built like that you’re either not eating right or not excercising right… or both.

Why are you bringing Cole Konrad into this?

I say, the more heavyweights in the picture the better. Especially in Bellator. And why not one who is entertaining to watch, even if he is low to mid tier talent?
