”Någon som vill rulla?”
Den förre detta tungviktsmästaren Brock Lesnar blev inbjuden av Randy Couture till Randys gym i Las Vegas, Xtreme Couture, för att träna med Randys grabbar. I gymmet fanns världsklass fighters såsom, Forrest Griffin, Ray Sefo, Vitor Belfort och Jay Hieron.
Den sistnämnde fightern berättar om den unika upplevelsen för FighterMag, och om hur han aldrig hade beskådat någon som Brock Lesnar. Nedan kan ni läsa utdrag av intervjun som Hieron gjorde med FighterMag.
”The guy is just a whole different animal.
”It was his first time back to training since the Cain fight and he was just under 300-pounds. It was something different and we never had a beast quite like that at our gym.
”It mostly consisted of BJJ and wrestling. A lot of rolling. He also helped some of us in the wrestling department. He did some sparring with Randy.
”You do not realize how strong he is and how fast he is unless you are there training or fighting him. I fight at 170 and I’ll be the first to tell you that he was much faster than I was. It’s shocking actually – the way he was just throwing guys around.
”Couture had him go through rounds of rolling. One person would step in, roll with Brock for 2 minutes then step out and someone else would go in. Forrest Griffin was there, Vitor was there, I was there, Sefo was there. We had a bunch of guys.
”He was incredibly strong, we would just go in there and get submitted a couple times and get out. He caught Forrest in the same straight armbar three times in the two minutes they were rolling. The only one he didn’t tap out was Vinny [Magalhaes] but it was more of the same.
”I don’t think anyone was able to get top position without him giving it up. It was a fun experience.”
Det verkar som att många underskattar Brock Lesnars grappling-game. Vi får väl hoppas att Junior Dos Santos inte gör det.
