Yeah maybe... to the band wagon masses that worship him because he is sooooo BIG. He has never once stepped inside the ring with anyone HALF as skilled as Fedor. Never. Im betting he wont
I like him because he is a wrestler and not some WWF fake wrestler. I wrestled so like most of the fighters who have, SHERK, HUGHS, COURTURE ETC.
I don’t know why everyone counts wrestling out as being a major contributing skill to any MMA fighter. If you can take anyone down that is a big part of the fight.
Courture was semifinalist at the 2000 Olympic Trial and three-time (NCAA) Division-I All-American and a two-time NCAA Division-I runner-up.
Brock was a NCCA Division 1 runner up and NCCA Division 1 champion next year. The person who he lost to as runner up won the worlds that year and Brock lost a decision to him by 1 point.
I don’t know how many of you wrestled, but to have skills like this you are amongst the best in the world and have trained very hard. Brock has wrestled since he was a kid hundreds of REAL matches and has the experience of being against other highly trained opponents who s need to rise above very physical, mental and challenging journeys to make to that caliber of wrestling and Brock beat them all to be NCCA champion etc. etc. That translates directly into MMA and him being us e to in tough challenging situations against skilled trained opponents although not wrestling, but he is use to this.
You’re not going to be able to stop a take down from someone that big, fast and experienced who had been taking down opponents for years even if you know its coming. He will always have that advantage and skill.
Is it enough to win maybe?
