Brock Lesnar's Book Cover - Snapshot of the Day

Brock relives his long journey to become the best college wrestler in the country, his meteoric rise in World Wrestling Entertainment, and what lead him to walk away from fame and fortune when he was at the top.

Fans will get an insider's look at Brock's career in the UFC - the training, the competition and what it takes to be, and to remain a champion. Brock will also talk about the illness that nearly killed him, his will to survive, and what he really values and aspires to be. Powerful and real, this remarkable memoir is the story of Brock's determination and domination, and the making of a true champion.

I’ve never been able to see this penis everyone talks about. Just an over sized handle on an under sized blade.

Like him or hate him, Brock is living his life the way he wants

Since when did anyone called Cain's moveset "Death Clutch"?
Oh, no one. You just coined it to sound smart and funny.

you bring up your source
you’re the one said that “he named his book after the very move Cain destroyed him with”. To be fair, a lot of people has coined Death Clutch to be Brock’s arm triangle choke after the Carwin fight.

I was just joking before but this……“a lot of people has coined Death Clutch to be Brock’s arm triangle choke after the Carwin fight.”…you sound serious about. Who is this a lot of people?
Heyman coined the name for his arm-triangle finisher in an interview after the fight. Or said it would be a perfect name for it, rather, since they’re also his sponsor. Cain beat Brock by TKO. How the hell does “”http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/clutch" target="new">clutch" even make any sense there? Please put more effort into that next time.

Heyman’s involved, so this might actually not suck.

Holy shit
He named his book after HIS TRAINING FACILITY. I don’t even know what to say.
"We all think we're the best. That's why we're fighters." - Frankie Edgar
He names everything Death Clutch
isn’t that his clothing brand too? And unofficially the name of his arm triangle on Carwin.
Can't wait for his follow up book
Striking defense and the double leg with Brock Lesnar.
Food goes in here
I imagine that when he talks about domination...
there will be like three chapters, the longest dedicated to Frank Mir.
Small except:
“And so I thrust my massive frame onto Frank’s writhing, sweaty little burlap sack he used to call a torso. I grabbed one of his arms and pinned it behind his head and started pounding away at his face. Pounding vigorously.”
On the Shane Carwin one would be:
“No rememer. Told I choked him.”
Small except??
except what???

lot of hating on brock again, no suprise
the man wins, everytime he fought all the haters would try to figure out how he would lose and he proved the haters wrong. he lost to cain yes, but defended the belt twice. why hate? bc of ufc 100 post speach? lol so what…i dont see why any1 got offended by that. Look Brock figures out how to win, he battles through all ur haters every time he fights in the octagon. the man is fighting the world, seriously. How can you hate him?
How can you hate him?
Pretty much the same way I hate every TV personality on Fox News: he’s an obnoxious dick who’s more show than substance. :D
Seriously though, let’s not act like the man is 30-0. He didn’t figure out how to win against Cain or even Carwin for that matter (luckily Carwin took care of that himself). He’s very very good at a few specific things, but is a fish out of water if he can’t get those two or three things going. People hate on him predominantly because he was practically given the title.

he beat carwin did he not?
did the ref stop the fight bc of carwin’s lack of oxygen? the ref stop the fight when brock was crushing carwins headand neck. hmmmm i think that goes in the win column..
congrats, you read the fight summary off Lesnar’s Sherdog profile. victory or not, Carwin’s huge flaw don’t erase Brock’s equally large flaws. I would venture to say he would not have arm triangle choked Carwin if Carwin did not turn into one of those sides of beef Rocky beat the crap out of.
the man could be great if he actually cares about improving, but fans have legit beef over the way things had been handed to him without actually proving himself. as it turns out, he is as one-dimensional as fans had feared at this point in his development. I don’t think it makes him deserving of some of the straight-up vitriol he gets, but it certainly qualifies him for heavy criticism and scrutinizing. people never like to see someone get something without really earning it, and his personality doesn’t exactly endear him to most, either.
also, I am absolutely convinced that if Lesnar couldn’t finish Carwin, the towel would have been thrown in at the end of the 2nd round due to exhaustion, and that fight would have been the UFC’s equivalent of Ken Shamrock vs. Kazuyuki Fujita.

He wins
71% of the time. The only one of his fights that can really be described as him “figuring out how to win” is when Carwin gassed out and handed him the fight. Other than that he either lost, or physically dominated his opponent.
Don’t get me wrong, Lesnar’s not a nobody. But we need to let go of this memory of him as an invincible monster. The dude’s 5-2 (against some very stiff competition). That’s not bad. It’s not incredible either.
And c’mon, don’t pretend not to know why Brock rubs so many people the wrong way. He acts like a dick, and he doesn’t care what people think of him. It’s not a recipe to be well-loved. I don’t personally hate him, but I can easily see why he irritates many fans.
Guess this post makes me a hater, huh?
iv watch vids on brock getting in to the tuf house
some vids of him training some interview vids on cain, non of them was bad….but ppl seem to make it sound lot worse than what it is.
is 'brock lesnar'
the same person as COCKCHESTNARRRRRRR!!!?
i tried to change my username to 'big country fit' but the system wouldnt let me.
Too much sherdog for you my friend.
