Sigfrid sai se in giro si trova qualche video su Lesnar quando praticava wrestling prima di diventare un pro wrestler?
Ne avevo trovato uno ma è stato rimosso
In quell'incontro (di folkstyle wrestling) aveva perso. In tutta onestà credevo meglio, soprattutto tecnicamente, ma ad occhio non superava i 18 anni...
The first "mma" style is called Pankration
J.Rogan(speaker UFC) :"In my opinion Wrestling is the best base for Mixed Martial Arts.."
altro incontro facilotto secondo me... possibile che lesnar debba affrontare gente che ha a vuto un passato "glorioso" (vedi MIR ex campione UFC ma poi infortunato, vedi COLEMANN un nome un perchè ora ultra quarantenne)
e fatelo scontrare con uno che NEL PRESENTE sta a cannone, non con vecchi miti
Perderebbe...
E l'UFC ha offerto un contratto a Lesnar solo per guadagnare soldi in più
Hanno puntato più sul nome che su l'atleta.
Non hanno nessun interesse a farlo diventare un buon MMA fighter, anzi meno incontra fighters con le p.... meglio è.
Non si sa mai che Lesnar si stanchi e, causa sconfitte, li molli per un contratto magari di nuovo con la WWE o la TNA

D'accordo con voi al 100%. Ma all'UFC può far comodo un Lesanr vincente per 5/6 anni (35/36 per Brock) in modo da sfruttare al massimo la sua popolarità negli USA. Oltretutto con il ritiro di Couture ed il probabile abbandono di Sylvia, Lesnar potrebbe riempire il vuoto, almeno parzialmente.
Per quanto riguarda il lato tecnico, a mio parere dovrebbe allenarsi con un team di alto livello e sotto la guida di un maestro con molta esperienza (diretta!) nella gabbia.

Direi proprio di si.
Infatti spero che il mio parere sia frutto solo della mia malizia e che l'UFC punti su di lui anche come vero e proprio fighter e non solo come bancomat umano

Un futuro avversario di Lesnar potrebbe essere Tommy Rowlands, il lottatore che ha preparato Mir nel wrestling. Dopo le Olimpiadi 2008 nella lotta libera si dedicherà alle MMA :
MMANews: Tommy, on a collegiate level, you’ve done it all. What’s next for you? Any thoughts of a professional career in MMA?
TR: After the Olympics I plan on starting my MMA career. My dedication to wrestling, and grappling in general, I feel will translate well into MMA. I have trained with some of the best HW's in the sport and feel I could compete at a very high level in MMA based on my experiences. I will be looking for a good camp sometime in August or September.

Cosa ne pensi Sigfrid, di questo atleta?
Filippesi 4:13 "Io posso ogni cosa in colui che mi fortifica"
Secondo me può far bene, atleticamente è superlativo, nella lotta libera (e nella greco-romana) ha una grande tecnica, non a caso è il numero 7 al mondo. Oltretutto fa anche submission grappling visto che è diventato il terzo stile di lotta a livello internazionale e la USA Wrestling è stata la prima federazione al mondo ad inserirlo.
Resta da vedere la categoria, in quanto è un peso massimo considerato "leggero", non a caso ha lottato nei 130, poi nei 96 ed oggi è nuovamente negli heavyweight, ma sopperisce la mancanza di kg con una grande velocità ed esplosività.
Di conseguenza nella lotta non ci sono problemi, mentre nello striking in piedi parte da zero o quasi, ovviamente.
MMANews.com Exclusive:Exclusive Interview With Tommy Rowlands
The scene is set.
Two warriors stand toe-to-toe within the confines of a 40’ diameter battleground, each driven on proving they are the dominant athlete this day. Their arsenals are comprised of various takedowns, pinning & reversal techniques and most importantly, the desire to win. Thousands look on as these warriors step up, awaiting instructions from the official that the battle is to begin.
While it may seem as if I am promoting an upcoming UFC Pay-Per-View event, the basis of this feature is actually Collegiate Wrestling and more specifically A Day in the Life of Two-Time Ohio State NCAA Heavyweight Champion, Tommy Rowlands.
MMANews.com recently got together with the 6’ 3” 250 pound Ohio State Veteran to talk about his past present and future, along with some various thoughts on the sport and related current events.
TOMMY ROWLANDS INTERVIEW
MMANews.com: Hi Tommy, thanks for taking the time to chat with us. We know you’ve got lots of irons in the fire right now.
Tommy Rowlands: No problem. I love the site and like the idea of giving fans a better look into the sport of wrestling and how it interacts with MMA as a whole.
MMANews: How did you get involved with wrestling? At what point did you take an interest in the sport?
TR: I started wrestling when I was 7. My dad was good friends with the head wrestling coach at LSU and he introduced me to the sport. I had my first wrestling match when I was 8. I was terrible. I was extremely uncoordinated and half scared to get hurt at the time. My first 9 matches I was easily pinned and I wanted to quit, but my father wouldn’t let me.
MMANews: Yes, but things began to change for you quickly.
TR: Eventually I started to win. In middle school I lost 1 match my 7th grade year and went undefeated in 8th grade. In HS, I wrestled 125 my freshman year making it to state, but I didn’t place. I really bulked up between my freshman and sophomore year, wrestling 171, and finishing 3rd in state. My junior year I wrestled 215, going undefeated and winning my first state title (46-0). My senior year I went undefeated again (43-0) and captured another state title.
MMANews: Sounds like you grew into the sport quickly once you gained a little confidence in your abilities.
TR: I had my goals and as I said, I refused to quit, choosing to try and bulk up, rather than give up.
MMANews: Going undefeated with two back-to-back titles, I’d say it worked! But you didn’t stop there..
TR: Well, my senior year I also got a gold in the US junior Freestyle championships, and a silver at the Junior World Greco Championships in Russia.
MMANews: You’ve left quite a legacy at OSU…
TR: I wrestled for Ohio State all 4 years at HW, winning NCAA titles in 2002 and 2004. I hold several records at Ohio State, including most TD's in a single season, career, and several others.
MMANews: Being the experienced athlete you are, what are your thoughts on the current state of MMA and its growth over the last 10 years?
TR: MMA is just getting bigger day by day. People are starting to wake up and realize that MMA is the "Ultimate sport", testing a athletes physical and mental abilities, along with their skill set at the highest level it can be tested in the world of sports. I expect MMA to continue to grow and flourish for years to come.
MMANews: I know you’ve said your fighter is Dan Henderson; what makes him special in your opinion?
TR: Where do you begin? He has world class wrestling and submission defense. He has a punch that could knock out a ox. What makes him so special in my mind though is his heart and head. He’s a very smart fighter, and has the heart which is hard to find in many world class athletes. When someone steps into the cage or ring with Dan, they know they are in for a hell of a war.
MMANews: We all saw Frank Mir defeat Brock Lesnar at UFC 81. We also know that you were called by Frank Mir personally to help him train for the fight. Tell us about that, what was it like and how did it come together?
TR: I was first called by someone at Frank’s camp asking me to help him train for his fight with Brock Lesnar. I honestly thought it was a joke at first. I told the guy on the phone to "suck my balls" because I thought it was my buddy Mike pulling another trick on me, and hung up the phone. Shortly after that phone call Frank personally called me and asked me to come train with him. I recognized his voice and realized it was for real. Without even thinking twice I said, "of course I'll help you". A few days later I was out there helping him with his takedown defense and submissions off his back.
MMANews: What makes for a well balanced fighter in your opinion?
TR: Cross training with the best. Most successful, high level MMA athletes have a strong background in a specific sub sport of MMA (Wrestling, JJ, Muay Thai), and its stepping outside your comfort zone, training all aspects of MMA, that will eventually make a well balanced fighter.
MMANews: Who has the best overall wrestling ability right now in the MMA world?
TR: Dan Henderson. At 185 or 205, he can put anyone on their back. I think Randy is a close second. And even though he dosen’t have a strong wrestling background, GSP seems to be pretty high up there too.
MMANews: What do you think about UFC’s Ultimate Fighter program?
TR: Honestly, when I watched the first 2 seasons and I thought to myself, "These guys will get mauled when they get in against real UFC competition". I was completely wrong. Forrest Griffen, Keith Jardine, Joe Stevenson, Kenny Florian and several others have impressed the hell out of me, and proved that just because they are on a reality TV show, some of these guys with proper training can hang with anyone inside the cage.
MMANews: One major controversy in sports today is the use of performance enhancing steroids . Would mind sharing any thoughts on this?
TR: I don’t mind discussing the issue at all. Personally, I have never, and will never use steroids, HGH, or any other performance enhancing drug. I don’t even use any of these supplements on the market. The only thing I put into my body is food and water. As for the athletes that do use steroids - I think a year suspension, being stripped of any title they might have, and having to pay back ALL of their purse money for the fight they tested positive in is a fair punishment.
MMANews: A Heavyweight Wrestler must keep a pretty heavy schedule and training regimen. Can you take us through a typical day in your life?
TR: I wake up at 6 every morning and eat a bowl of oatmeal and a banana. At 6:30 I go for a 5 mile run. I usually go down at 10 or so and wrestle with some of the current Buckeye wrestling team for a hour or two. I come home, eat lunch and then pick my daughter up from school. At around 2 I will usually lift some weights or work a little cardio in my basement. As soon as my wife gets home I go back up to OSU and wrestle with the team, then cardio with the team.
My schedule lately has been a bit different because of the amount of traveling I have been doing in preparation for the Olympic Trials. I have been trying to get as much international experience as possible so I am well prepared for the trials, and hopefully the Olympics.
MMANews: Your training has obviously affected some aspects of your personal life.
TR: Honestly I don’t have much of a personal life right now. 80% of my day revolves around wrestling and the other 20% goes to my wife and daughter. It’s hard maintaining the life of a wrestler. You go in, 6 days a week and beat the out of your body for less money than most labor jobs pay. You put in more hours a week than 95% of Americans do. You battle constant injuries. You can be one of the top athletes in the sport and no one knows who you are. But at the end of the day there is no sweeter feeling than getting my hand raised in front of my daughter. She’s my biggest fan, and the smile on her face when I win is more than enough motivation to keep it up.
MMANews: Tommy, on a collegiate level, you’ve done it all. What’s next for you? Any thoughts of a professional career in MMA?
TR: After the Olympics I plan on starting my MMA career. My dedication to wrestling, and grappling in general, I feel will translate well into MMA. I have trained with some of the best HW's in the sport and feel I could compete at a very high level in MMA based on my experiences. I will be looking for a good camp sometime in August or September.
MMANews: Tommy, we appreciate you taking the time and look forward to seeing big things from you in the MMA world in the future.
TR: I encourage anyone in the Las Vegas area to come to the Olympic Trials June 13th-15th, and I look forward to moderating the wrestling section on mmanews.com forums. If anyone has any questions relating to wrestling, feel free to give me a buzz. Thanks again!
