Sonny S. continues to have a scary man crush on Brock Lesnar.[/quote]
I saw footage of Lesnar on TV from his freshman year of high school, so he couldn’t have been older than 15, and he had the EXACT same structure. Huge traps, long gorilla arms, muscles bulging everywhere.
Reminded me of Mike Tyson when he was 14. At 14, Mike was f’n DIESEL and almost made the Olympic boxing team.
Some people are just blessed.

He’s at the Miletich camp too, which currently boasts 2 of the 4 UFC champs. Brock could be scary good. Miletich says in one year he’ll be unbeatable but that’s hype.
Brock does have pro wrestling commitments in All Japan, which will hurt/delay his progress. Hell, it may stop him from doing it 100% seriously.[/quote]
I didn’t catch this at first, but they have 3 champs: Franklin, Hughes, Sylvia.

Franklin isn’t with Miletech, is he? I thought he trained in Cinncinatti.
Franklin is kind of a MFS guy.
He’s close with the MFS camp. He’s trained there in the past. He’s an associate, so to speak.
For instance, he was in Big Tim’s corner, if I’m not mistaken, during his last fight with AA along with Matt Hughes.
Rich is based out of Cincinnati but he is, in part, a product of MFS.
In some respects he’s similar to Horn. The reason why Horn fighting at 185 lbs (his ideal weight) in the UFC is, kind of, pointless is that Hughes, Horn and Franklin have a deal where they have agreed to never fight one another. Horn is a world class fighter and should be on the big stage, but with him at 185 lbs he?s hard to promote. He?s better than a gate keeper and he?s won?t fight Franklin.
Most of the MFS guys are represented by Monte Cox as are Franklin and Horn.
He’s definately jacked, but there’s still too much hype for that guy around here, considering he never had a “real” fight.
This thread is Brockback.
Pat Miletich was on Dave Melzter?s radio show and said, regarding Brock, to paraphrase, " no human being will be able to beat Brock in a year?s time".
Is that an exaggeration?
Yes.
In a world where Fedor, Big Nog and Cro Crop exist.
However it’s high praise.
Brock has gifts.

He was arrested for having steroids and growth hormone in his house. I think you can find the article on the smoking gun. Don’t be so naive to think that your hero is infallible.

He was just holding them for Vince McMahon.
They weren’t steroids:
whatever the hell it is, must have been good shit though… is this what anaconda is???
Anyhow, he started training when he was like 8 with his older brother, and he had like 3 hernias or something before he was 15. He was raised on a farm, so he must have had plenty of meat and milk, all he needed to grow. Pretty simple probally, it’s just high frequency, just like CW claims.
His eyes look kinda red in the mug shots. Maybe even tough rich guys cry when Johnny Law harasses them.
I thought he was trying to be a lineman for the Vikes…this guy changes professions like its going out of style
He doesn’t have many money-making options.
He quit WWE b/c he was getting tired of the huge travel and time demands, not to mention what it was doing to his body - even tho he was making great money and had a great “push” ever since he debuted. He also has a psycho ex-gf who has custody of their daughter and is /was using her as leverage to cause a lot of emotional turmoil.
Basically he wanted to try and become a “legitimate” pro athlete, not have to be on the road 250 days a year, not destroy his body so quickly, and be close to his daughter.
Now that the NFL hasn’t worked out, he’s going to MMA.
Why? b/c he and WWE parted ways in bitter fashion which means he won’t be returning there even if he wanted to return to rasslin full-time -which he doesn’t.

Brock says he’s making his debut in Vegas this October. Considering UFC, Pride, and WFA will have shows that month in Vegas, who knows. I think with Sylvia in the UFC he’ll wind up in WFA or Pride. Pride doesn’t have a weight limit, and he’s known in Japan for pro wrestling, so I think that’s a good possibility.
Brock has been working for NJPW. So MMA isn’t the only way he has of making money.
That said, I think he just parted company with NJPW vacating the, their top belt, the IWGP title. I think that’s the case, but I don’t follow the wrestling scene like I used so I’d have to check to be sure.
From Dave Meltzer’s daily update on the August 3rd…
“–For whatever this is worth, the St. Paul Pioneer Press today claims Brock Lesnar’s fight MMA fight will be in October in Las Vegas. Within the industry, the belief is Lesnar has signed with K-1/Hero’s. I do know that UFC talked with him but believe they are not going to get him. Neither K-1 nor Hero’s has a show in Las Vegas in October, so at least part of that story is false. There is a Hero’s show in Japan in October, but if he’s going to debut on that show, one would expect he will make an appearance to announce it Saturday night in Tokyo, so we’ll know in two days or less about that one. If it is with K-1, for all concerned, it makes the most sense for him to debut on New Year’s Eve. Lesnar’s lawsuit settlement with WWE saw him for all real purposes win the case outright without an official verdict which would set a bad precedent for WWE’s future enforcement of such clauses. He’s allowed to do anything he wants to do at this point, at least as it pertains to anything he’s considering or has talked about.”
Wait, why is this a big deal?
