    I was indeed referring to said trailer trash, he is BIG and FAST...not saying Cain can't win...thats the thing about MMA, your strength can be countered with other techniques...IMO Cain would have to attack one of Lesners legs to slow him down then he could pummel him from the outside. Mir starting adding 15-20 lbs of bulk just to deal with Lesner!

    And speaking of Mir...he just said he would break Lesner's neck in the ring...naughty naughty...I'd like to see Mir vs Cain too.

    Lesnar is really not very talented. Big. Sure. Fast...not really, I would say explosive. Cain is an ex collegiate wrestler so I think he can defend against the takedown as well as anyone.

    As for Mir... he made a critical mistake... why go to 1/2 guard in MMA???? I love 1/2 guard, but every time I pull it in Vale Tudo I eat leather! And I am no pro! Mir should have known better!

    i think when it comes to collegiate wrestling cain is not in lesnars league

    Mir is not a great MMA fighter really and you are right going to half guard is silly in MMA

    I actually like Shane Carwin's chances better than Cain's.

    Not talented? Listen, I personally hate Lesnar and all he stands for. But lets be realistic. The guy was the 2000 NCAA Heavyweight champion and his record stood at 106 - 5 for his college career. If that is not talented, I really suck.

    I thought we were addressing Lesnar's MMA career (or lack there of)? Yes he was a solid wrestler, but it takes more than just wrestling to make an MMA fighter.

    You're going to stick to that story? He's defeated two former Heavy Weight Champs soundly, he was a collegiate champ, and he was even offered a chance to try out for a pro football team and he's not talented? You must have lofty standards indeed, my friend.

    Don't mistake me here, I'm not on his jock, I just respect him...I think he can be defeated, as any man can, but to say he's not a very talented athlete or fighter would be an injustice.

    Cains had what 5 or 6 fights in the UFC, hardly a massive fight record either, brocks faught two ex champs and beaten them, i think they are pretty even on the MMA record and lesnar is the better grappler, not to mention the much bigger man

    Again- I understand the big weight difference. What will happen, will happen.
    But Cain's learning curve is sharply up ward - he is in top shape.
    Lesnar is more at a standstill and his unfortunate health related training interruption could be factors too.


    Go Sun Devil.

    lensar showed great improvements in his ground game and standup between the two Mir fights, but i agree the health issues might harm him, personally i would like to see the heavyweight division smaller in size and a super heavyweight division over 250 brought in

    even with the weight difference it will come down to who is stronger

    if cain is stronger than brock then obviously brock is in trouble despite having pounds on him
