Quote of the Day: "(Brock) Lesnar Is Going to Have a Fight on His Hands" With Cain Velasquez at UFC 121

Photo

I like to try to compete at a pace not many fighters can keep up with. A lot of guys just cant handle it. I think the biggest example of that would be Cain Velasquez. I think Lesnar is going to have a fight on his hands because of the type of pace Cain can keep.

...

I see Lesnar being a problem because of his size and the fact that he can throw very heavy hands, but unless he does something right off the bat and takes Cain out early, Brock will be in trouble. Cain will take him into deep waters and do serious damage while he controls the later rounds. He could also win a decision. Cain's standup is far and away better than Lesnar's, his wrestling is equal in my opinion, and BJJ I'm not too sure about. I don't know what Lesnar brings on the ground but I know Cain has an awesome camp working with Dave Camarillo. He's dangerous in every aspect. The difference maker will be Lesnar's size to Cain's motor. Cain will be go go go, and 25 minutes is nothing to him. He does not get tired. I can't explain it, and I have no idea where he got that gas tank, but I've never seen him get tired. At ASU he was one of the hardest working guys to ever come through that program and being a heavyweight, that's very rare. He used to wrestle like he weighed 155 lbs. It's definitely going to be interesting. I can't wait to watch it.

Cain Velasquez' former ASU teammate Aaron Simpson talks to SBNation.com's David St. Martin. Simpson also talks about his recent battle with staph, Chris Leben and leaving Arizona Combat Sports to form his own gym with Ryan Bader and C.B. Dollaway.

He thinks his buddy is awesome i get it. Cain didn’t seem as excited when Brock won at 116. He looked like he knew he was in for a fight.

Carwin's power was more a factor in that fight than his gas tank

Cain isn’t as big or strong as Carwin.

Cain was rocked 3 times by Kongo

Kongo took Cain down.

Brock reacted VERY poorly to being hit standing.

Cain has the gas to unload and make him pay for it. I’m not putting money on him, but I’m not betting on Brock either.

Correct me if I'm missing something, but...

He responded to refs calls and he got up and withstood a brutal assault from the mount.

You make it sound like Brock can't be knocked out

Even he admitted that he got rocked hard by Mir, the problem was it was a jumping knee so it was also like just giving Brock that takedown.

Herring was out of that fight right after that first punch that made him roll backwards.

Rocked is not knocked out though.

But getting rocked means

he can get knocked out too. I’m not saying he can’t take a punch but he’s not invincible, if he gets hit enough or hard enough he’s get knocked out, especially in the heavyweight division.

by av1o3 on Aug 25, 2010 5:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think that "he's invincible" is what I was saying either

What I was saying is that using the argument “Well, Carwin gas’d after 2 minutes of punches from the mount and Cain wouldn’t have” is not a valid argument given that Carwin and Cain are two different fighters with different strengths. Two minutes of punches from the mount…

… is TWO MINUTES of punches from the mount. That’s not a easy feat on such a large opponent.

Where Carwin lacks in speed and endurance, Cain lacks in power and size.

Would he? Probably not.

But he could. With more work to the body and mixing up shots, he could do significant damage and could get an accumulation TKO later in the fight. And I don’t think anybody aside from Cabbage is immune to a KO at heavyweight.

After the whole steroid controversy i’ve been thinking that when Carwin was in mount he was having a roid rage fit and just went crazy with throwing punches lol. If he mixed it up and actually paced himself, he could have won that fight.

by av1o3 on Aug 25, 2010 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

But, Lesnar was never "out of it" or dazed through the 2 min barrage.

That’s why I don’t buy the argument of Cain winning by KO or TKO. Perhaps by “Frankie Edgar”, but I think Lesnar’s wrestling wouldn’t let the match get to that.

Lesnar was out of it for the first part of it

his arms are just large enough that it shielded his head pretty well from Carwin’s massive hands.

You say that his "arms werebig enough to shield his head" as if it's a bad thing?

And his arms were never “loosened” as if he were about to blackout. He remained covered up, but he wasn’t “mentally” out of the match.

The argument that Carwin’s 2 minute barrage of VERY hard punches was to his own detriment is not a solid argument. If anything, it should highlight the will and strength of Lesnar.

It's not a bad thing

During that entire barrage barely any of Carwin’s punches got through Brock’s arms. The only reason Carwin lost that fight because he was being stupid and didn’t even bother mixing up his shots and he has no cardio.

It was obvious Carwin blew his load after the first round

i think he threw like two punches the entire time and didn’t even try to prevent Brock from getting mount and the choke. Don’t get me wrong I think Brock’s performance in that fight was awesome but Carwin exposed that Brock isn’t unbeatable.

Yeah, Brock's pass to mount was pretty wide and sloppy.

Heavyweights can get away with that kind of thing most of the time though. Kudos on him for making it work anyways.

I never said that Cain was going to knock Brock out

but if he can keep the fight standing up theres a good chance that Cain can outpoint Brock.

Just cause he survives the hardest hitter in the division doesn’t mean hes immune to everyone elses power. Cain hits hard and is faster than Carwin and he won’t gas himself out if he does get Lesnar in trouble.

Honestly bro

until something comes along to put an end to this Lesnar hype train, not to say he’s not a talented fighter just that his fans are completely out of control at this point with their expectations, I don’t think I can deal with reading people’s comments on Brock.

Matt Hughes has some serious "mentally challenged" strength applying a choke to Ricardo Almeida’s neck strong enough to squeeze a turd out of his other end.

don’t even attempt to criticize the guy in anyway or find a flaw since chances are that flaw only manifested itself through a random act of the universe.

P.S. Brock not being able to set up a takedown cause he’s “too worried about get hit” ain’t exactly a good thing considering that getting hit is part of the sport and all.

Dave Camarillo

I don’t know where Dave Camarillo gets this reputation as having all universe bjj skill from? It’s certainly not from any kind of competition record. Dave has rarely competed in Pan Ams or the Mundials. And when he has, Dave’s record is at best mediocre.

Compare this to Comprido, Lesnar’s bjj coach:

2007

    * Black Belt -97 kg: 3rd place

2006

    * Black Belt -97 kg: 3rd place

2005

    * Black Belt -97 kg: 3rd place

2004

    * Black Belt -97 kg: 2nd Place

2003

    * Black Belt -91 kg: 3rd place

2001

    * Black Belt Open Weight: 3rd place
    * Black Belt -91 kg: 2nd place

2000

    * Black Belt -97 kg: 3rd place
    * Black Belt Open Weight: 1st Place

1999

    * Black Belt Open Weight: 1st Place

Brock Lesnar passed Carwin’s guard and got a tap out from Carwin via arm triangle. Does Jon Fitch (Dave’s first black belt) even try to pass the guard? No.

if you include Camarillo's amateur judo credentials

in a much much deeper field, they’re much closer. Camarillo is a judo guy who was an early adopter of BJJ, not a BJJ guy. He’s got his own grappling system and it’s fucking solid. Sadly the AKA guys never implement real Camarillo style stuff — not a lot of flying armbars coming from Cain, Koscheck and Fitch

BJJ

I will agree with you that Dave is solid — I trained with him and others many moons ago at Ralph’s academy. My point is there is really no basis to put him on the bjj pedestal. In my view, you only get on that pedestal, if you compete and and at least for a time dominate at least your weight in the Mundials, Pan Ams or equivalent no gi competition. No brainers on the pedestal would include guys like Marcello Garcia, Saulo, Pe de Pano, Mario Sperry (old school), Margarita, etc.

As for creating your own system, maybe your Greg Jackson and maybe your not. Only time will tell.

You do realize competing, inventing new techniques and teaching/traing students are three completely separate skills, right? And the level of one skill can have very little effect on the the level of the others?

Besides, like Nate said, you should go watch some Camarillo highlights before you question his skill. The guy was beating the Cohen brothers and vying for an Olympic spot before he shifted focus to MMA and submission grappling.

i hope brock times his take downs

if brock goes out there and just tries to run for a takedown like he did against carwin, he will never takedown cain, BUT lesnar times his takedowns well usally when the other fighter kicks low. Cain does a hell of a job mixing the stand up game up. Cain does have a chance to KO lesnar. But i think lesnar will not get desprate this time and he will time that low kick of cain’s and take him down.

Good analysis

I think a very patient and calm Lesnar wins this fight. Conversely, its going to take a frenetic and aggressive Cain to pull it off. That, in itself, puts the odds in Lesnar’s favor, IMO.

Lesnar's "TDs" in the first round, if you can call them that

weren’t set up and were the result of his response to getting hit.

The only TD he set up was the 2nd round one (you can see him hit the left jab and change levels while Carwin thinks he’s coming with a right).

but Lesnar’s in over his head. There is nothing he can do to Cain except hold him for a little while. His stand-up is bad, his MMA wrestling is nothing special, and he does not like to get hit.

Cain by TKO in one of these rounds 3, 4, or 5.

And I'm not going to fellate Brock

since there doesn’t seem to be any room left with all the fanboys already down there.

ALSO CAUSE I’M NOT INTO FELLATING GUYS!

Matt Hughes has some serious "mentally challenged" strength applying a choke to Ricardo Almeida’s neck strong enough to squeeze a turd out of his other end.

It’s more like the other way around, Brock is going to bully him and show him what great mma wrestling is about Cain will be lucky if he makes it to the third round.

Simpson is basically telling it like it is

I have been over to AKA as of late and Cain is a beast in every aspect, on top of that he is incredibly smart and technical. His sprawl and scramble is the best I have ever seen from a heavyweight. His hand speed and footwork is off the dial. I think this will be a blowout, I really don’t see how Lesnar wins other than maybe freakish, desperation, blind side punch or something.

you report from Lesnar’s gym you disappear just ask greg nelson. He talked too much when Brock was sick and he got his walking papers

No Psych, you're wrong

Lesnar is big and didn’t get beaten against Carwin…the end.

Did I mention he’s big?

Correction

have you read some of the stuff people have been saying in ANY thread about Lesnar?

He's 400lbs, solid. All Type IIa muscle.

When will it sink in that he’s not that big anymore and Matt Hughes benched more than him at their peaks? I’m not seeing he’s garbage, but he’s a better fighter than he is strongman or athlete.
