Could LWH Rumble beat Lesnar?

[faustian]

All he has to do is touch Lesnar's chin once and Lesnar would wilt. Brock hated getting hit and Rumble hits harder than anybody Lesnar ever fought (even Reem).

lol cmon son Rumble does not hit harder than Shane fuken Carwin

 

[BRASIL WAND]

If CarWIN couldn't do it, I laugh at the idea that Rumble would.




Brock would score an early TD, and hammerfist away until Rumble turns sideways and covers up for the ref to step in.

50/50

 

[garwoc]

He could but I don't think he would. Brock even though didn't react the best when he got hit had a solid chin. I think he'd eventually impose his wrestling and wear Rumble down.

out of all the hard hitting Heavyweights Andrei Arlovski has fought in his career Rumble is the one that literally broke his jaw lol

 

[Franklin U.]

Hell yes---brock dont like getting hit in the mush and no one does it better than rumble..
...again, hell yes

 

[faustian]

out of all the hard hitting Heavyweights Andrei Arlovski has fought in his career Rumble is the one that literally broke his jaw lol

Rumble was also one of the few people Arlovski fought that couldn't KO Andrei

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Rumble probably KO's him.

 

[Chain Saw]

Brock would be like "fuck no" after eating a big shot.

But if Brock gets him down early he could finish him.

Rumble doesn't have THAT great of takedown defense. Not that I think Brock is as unstoppable a wrestler as most give him credit for (220 lb Randy did fine against him in that department, but of course he's an elite wrestler). I just don't know if Rumble's wrestling is good enough for Lesnar.

I will say though, I think prime King Mo kicks the shit out of Brock, and he definitely looks like he can make 185. Not only was his wrestling elite, but he had HW power in his hands.

huh? Arlovski has fought 37 times, what do you mean by "one of the few people he fought that couldn't KO him"?

You mean his losses? He's been KO'd/TKO'd 7 times out of 37 fights in the Heavyweight division, and besides the 2009-2011 Affliction/Strikeforce run they were all years and years apart....

 

[Cazador]

It's well known Lesnar freaked out when punched in the face, and we also know the kind of power Johnson carries on his punches, so there's that. Pre or post illness Lesnar got nothing to do with it.

IMO it comes down to what @BBMN posted.

Edit: I see some saying that if Carwin coundn't KO him then Rumble wouldn't either. It doesn't necessarily have to get to that point, it'd have to do more with picking his shots once Lesnar turtles up, instead of trying to break his forearms, until the ref has no other choice but to step in since he's not fighting back. We had already seen it happening twice.

 

[racso]

What's with this pre sickness Lesnar excuse? He could never take a punch. Panic wrestler 100% and the only thing that saved him was his size, duh.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

I'd say more times than not Lesnar could impose his will based on his ridiculous speed for his size but i'd have no doubt Rumble could cause him problems.

 

[One MMA Fan]

He doesn't KO Brock.. the only thing Rumble brings to the table is better striking and power in his hands but I'm telling you they don't translate 100% in the HW division it will be different then how he drops LHW and Lesnar's chin is one of the best in HWs. (I said chin aka ability to survive damage not his reaction to pressure / hits)

DC's chin survived your telling me Brock doesn't have a better chin then the smaller DC 5'10 (size,head,neck, frame etc)

TKO or Sub win for Brock round 2.

He doesn't have the wrestling, size, power to stop Lesnar's double leg and his power is indeed enough to hurt him but not to finish him you need a crazy pace, cardio like Cain (or one of the top HW kickers landing a body shot on a very shook Lesnar) also Cain has better wrestling then AJ and he got taken down the thing is he can get up and has crazy cardio / pace for a HW.

I think people forgot how much of a monster Brock was and only remember his last outings in witch he was mentally a bit checked out be it from the surgery or from his confidence lacking.

50/50

50/50 if Rumble is in a wheelchair or not after 285lb Lesnar blast doubles him at 0:02 and starts caving his skull in like a gorilla on bath salts

Pre sickness Lesnar was a better athlete, faster, stronger even bigger and bonus a lot more confident the way he shoot double legs was totally different after the surgery.

People that recover from having having 12 inch section of there colon removed will testify there not the same.. the intake, there athleticism, heck there day to day lives will be changed / affected when you add this to a 285+ lbs HW MMA fighter and not to a regular joe not doing anything extreme, it takes away from preparation, diet, how hard you can work and push yourself and doubt will creep into the back of your mind.

 

[Phisher]

Brock is way too big for Rumble. He's almost 300 on fight night.

300 lb., pre-diverticulitis Brock had trouble imposing his will on an undersized 45 year-old Couture.

It's quite conceivable that Rumble could stuff a couple of TDs and light Brock up.

One of the most annoying aspects of Sherdog are users refusing to acknowledge that having a section of your colon removed from a really bad illness could have some kind of negative impact on a fighter. We accept in sports that pitchers for whatever reason can end up being completely shitty from one season to the next. Here we have a fighter who absolutely relied on his superior physical attributes and the corresponding mental ones(Kind of like how steroids are also a mental confidence booster) and they all came crashing down.

Randy Couture stood up to him for a while before eating a big one, and he was old as fuck then and never had Rumble's power.
