mir did really have chance the first round and in second he got luckly punches in and then he taken down pounded down. and that proves you can’t talk that trash if you can’t back it up

I assume most of you didn’t get the backstage interviews with Brock & his coaches.. Brock stated that the original game plan was to keep the fight standing. He felt Mir couldn’t do much to him on the feet and that if need be he could always get the take down. Mir was the one that jumped guard in the initial take down. Mir got to close after he missed with a punch and tried to pull guard while sweeping his leg.. If you look closely on the first take down, Mir clearly looks to roll Lesnar’s leg into a kneebar. Brock countered by by sprawling and then pressing Mir’s hips and shoulders flat.. Then by keeping the weight shifted on Mir he used his reach to pound on him without giving up positioning. Basically, he has such a long reach that he can do vital damage without posturing up to generate force. It’s the combination of his reach and strength. You dont ned much distance with that kind of mass to generate force.. He never had to give up position to reach Mir. He could manage to stay flat controlling the hips and still land effective shots..

But in Brock’s interviews post fight he mentioned that the original game plan was to keep it standing and avoid the ground if necessary.. But that he was comfortable going to the ground if need be.. He said in the second round he kind of let the game plan go out the window and his wrestling mentality took over, thus he went for the take down.. The reason he stayed on the ground in the first was because he didn’t want to risk getting caught on his way up from Mir’s half guard. Thus he maintained his position to keep him flat. He said he felt Mir’s hips trying to shift when he did posture up, that’s why he held Mir’s neck in the rape choke.. But if watch closely, he jumps right back down on top of him flat to keep him from sweeping Brock.

Regardless what anyone says or thinks.. It’s technique no matter how you slice it.. It can be orthodox or unorthodox.. but it’s “his” technique either way.. He has been a Division 1 National Wrestling Champion with over a 100 matches.. Of course he knows how to hold people down and utilize his weight and balance.. That’s the first thing they teach in wrestling.. It just so happens that he is extremely big and agile too. Not only is he big but he is very wide.. With his size and core strength, I see it difficult for a lot of people to out muscle him.. It’s not just his size that’s an advantage.. He isn’t the “biggest” HW ever nor do I personally feel he is the strongest. But he is one of the very “few” that are athletic enough to make it a bad fight for a lot of guys.. Most big guys dont have the speed and agility that he possesses.. How many 280 lbs’ers do you know that can run a 4.7 40 yard dash ?? How many 280 lbs men do you know that have an 81+ inch reach with the speed of a 200 lbs’er ?? How many men his size have you known to possess the athletic ability he has coupled with his other physical attributes ?? He’s not just big, he’s big, strong & athletic.. He’s a complete package.. Now as time progresses and he learns to fine tune the intricacies of the fight game, he’s going to get better & better.. B ut to argue that he is merely a big loaf with strength is absurd.. The guy is just as athletic as GSP… Just with a much bigger frame… Thats the scary part..

are a huge part of Brock’s game, but not even close to “all he’s got”.

All the haters will be silenced when Brock takes Carwin to the mat and puts him in “The Lesnar”, just like he did to Mir.
