Lesnar is and has been training. He won't let Mir catch him like he did the first time. He has already figured out that he must use patience. I'm sure that Lesnar will be unbeatable for a long time once he's only half way up to speed. He is just too strong and an incredible athlete. His cardio might be suspect, but he is getting up to speed for the UFC. I think he could even beat Emelienenko with six more months of training.
I don't agree that he is like Tank Abbot. Lesnar has wrestling skills that will very quickly translate over to Ju Jitsu with little training. And he can definitely punch. He knocked Mir and Herrington to the floor, no problem. He's also not carrying the bodyfat that Abbot had.
And Lesnar is one of those gifted athletes that can overpower even the biggest heavyweights. His strength index for his speed and size is almost off the charts. In the Minnesota Vikings combine, he ran a 4.62 40 at 265 lbs. He bench pressed 225 for
40 reps. His vertical jump was 36 inches. And he didn't even train for football! He's a
monster. He would destroy Chek Congo.
He's just one of those rare guys that will require a minimum of training to stay at the top in my opinion. I also suspect that that giant head of his can take alot of damage. You know how the fight game goes, it only takes one well placed shot to the jaw. I don't see any true heavyweight boxers though. That will play to Lesnars' strengths.
I think that Anderson Silva will be on top in the middleweight division for a long time. He is just too good. His long limbs combined with his expertise in Muay Tay and Ju Jitsu make an unbeatable combination. Who will challenge him next?
I really enjoy MMA. I think the athletes are incredible. Some call it a blood sport, but I truly appreciate the skill and training required to fight at UFC level. Isn't it interesting how MMA has exposed weaknesses in many types of martial arts?
In my opinion, an expert in Muay Tay and Ju Jitsu, or boxing combined with wrestling, can pretty much dominate as Silva and Georges St. Pierre have shown. The new guys are taking it to another level. The training is constantly evolving. But it will always be about wrestling, boxing, Ju Jitsu, and Muay Tay in my opinion.
