Thread: if Brock Lesnar can do it ..

My comments werent aimed at 'knife combat' but street combat.

Ive probably seen more bladed weapons used on the street than most people, Ive seen victims of bladed weapons, Ive been attacked with bladed weapons and Ive also seen plenty of people who thought they could take down a guy armed with a blade and come off worse. Ive seen first hand more times than I wish to count just how bad knives mess people up.

On the street if a guy comes at you with a knife you would be better equipped to swallow your pride and employ a swift pair of heels than any kind of knife defence but sure, I'll conceed that if youre looking at it simply from a training or hand/eye co-ordination point of view that it could have it benefits.

They are drills, it's to build up that reaction, or if it is the only way to defend, as if somebody was raping your family...?

I know the guy is 40+, but I would love to see him compete at least a couple of times professionally. He's in tremendous shape and an oustanding athlete. I would love to see him fight once or twice.

On sheer size alone, that guy can do some hefty damage. Anyone (bar Lesnar) will have a hard time trying to get him on the ground.

In my experience of people who use knives, if they want to stab you, you won't see the knife, believe me! It's a deterrant in most cases.
I've seen my mate stabbed and I was stood 3 foot away, I didn't see the knife and I was looking straight at them. It's just a fear/domination thing if it's being wielded about. In these cases then yea I think you could do something about it but you'd be silly if you could just walk away...
I've seen 2 more people stabbed and again they didn't see the knife.
Make what you will of this...

Woah! Are you like one one of the ninja turtles?

No because no one ever got stabbed in that cartoon, they only got hit with bin lids and the like.

:thumb with a hell of a lot of pizza stains!

just to throw this one in? im not sure if there is any drug testing for PED's in wwe. But with ufc fights needing to be sanctioned by state AC and Dr's i would assume they follow the same protcalls as boxing? would this be a issue with the like of Big Batista? when you look back at pics of brock in wwe and now in mma he has nowere near as much mass or definition. i know this will be partly down to the upper weight limits of the division, but brock does seem more flabby (for a better word)in the pecks and tum regions? this surgests some of his methods used in wwe had to stop?

(i some times bore myself sorry for long post geez)

nice video posted

Batista has remarkable speed for a big guy, and his power is ridiculous

He has officially left the WWE .. and said he will be going into MMA ..

The only problem is, years of steroids and hard injuries will play a partyy

What kind of injuries has Batista picked up in pro wrestling? I have heard it said that one of the main reasons Ken Shamrock was such a shadow of his former self when he returned to MMA after leaving the WWF was due to the severity of the various injuries he picked up in his time there.

Whilst I'm happy to see anyone try their hand at MMA it just strikes me that a 40+ year old ex-pro wrestler with a suspect injury record, no prior MMA training (not even the college wrestling training alot of pro-wrestlers have) who has clearly spent years on the gear is little more than a circus.
