^^ I agree...i boxed amature for a bit in heavyweight class (200+)......a good connecting shot from a 250+, trained striker will hurt you.....
Watch the replay and Lesnars ace and eyes even in the pre fight show on sportsnet..he didn't want to fight that guy and had his mind made up about retirement and he took a few shots and said "**** this" and fell down and covered to wait for fight to be stopped..no effort to get up or defend..then just gets up without issues after stopped and tells corner hes fine..mentally he was never in it nor did he want to be in it. Took the fight for the cheque and bailed right away....never once do I doubt that knees and kicks hurt but watch it again closely from the walk out to the end...no game period
He was likely scared....in any event powerful shots to the solar plexus can stop anybody....Overeem showed his striking abilities very well and he was just getting warmed up.I think Dos Santos must be concerned.
I agree with ya re, he's not an MMA fighter and it shows in every matchQuote:

He'll go back to WWE most likely just in time for wrestlemania... At least he won't have to worry about being punched lol
The *only* reason he got a shot in football or mma is A) his entertainment factor; and B) his size. Sadly both didnt matter one bit when it comes to sports requiring real athletic ability.
He was champion for awhile.Not a failure.
true true, hes just a big loud mouth imoQuote:

Definitely agree!!Quote:

I do think if anything was involved, it would be his wallet and an already premeditated decision that he was going to lose and announce retirement. I agree that Brock will return to the WWE. Maybe even try to addition for a movie roll. But for now, I think he will lay low for awhile as his ego is probably bruised.
I also was disapointed in how the fight went down. Alistair is my guy and i'm glad he won by striking, but i felt they both held back, maybe out of fear of each other? All i know is Overeem wasn't in k-1 champ mode, he could have pulled the trigger and put a real beating on him, and the same goes for Lesnar, he should have had a real game plan. I really won't miss him though, if not for his size he would not be there in the first place. Hopefully Alistairs next fight will be more explosive.
100% agree!Quote:
