Prime Bob Sapp vs. Green Brock Lesnar

[Deleted member 391673]

i was watching former Pride fighter Bob Sapp fights and i can't help but appreciate the guy.

honestly, he absolutely had no business being in the fight game. he was like a bull but damn his striking was so ridiculously bad.

but at the same time it was just impressive to watch this plodding uncoordinated dude swinging and flailing yet still being dangerous.

and he did try a lot more earlier on in his career.

and he does have two victories over hoost. and he was fucking up big nog until eventually getting subbed. also, nog's performance was very impressive how he was able to outwork a much larger opponent on the ground with his sweeps and transitions.







can you imagine a superfight between him and brock back in pride? haha holy shit it would be epic.

anyone think he would be able to stuff a green brock's TD's?



could Bob Sapp have become a competent striker if he had Freddy Roach as a coach or was his body just not designed for effective striking?

imagine Bob Sapp with Mark Hunt chin and striking. that would be epic.

yeah, but i'm also discussing Bob Sapp and Nog who fought under the pride banner and therefore fit in this forum.

you're being distracted by the hypothetical thread title.

Bob Sapp didn't have a prime, he had a personal ref that helped make sure fights went his way.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Brock by TKO.

Bob Sapp is one of the biggest jokes in MMA today.

Fuck I think CM puck would KO him at this point.

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

Sapp can't beat any version of Lesnar.

Sapp would rush in, get double legged, and tap to strikes. They could fight 100 times and it would end the same way.

 

[Killroy]

Sapp was a monstrous looking guy with the gas tank of an asthmatic butterfly and the striking skills to go with it.
Still, you can't hate on the guy, he took advantage of the way he looked and made some good money without getting braindamage in the process (because when the going got though, Bob got out)

 

[Gnomecuddler]

Sapp would most likely be taken down and lose on the ground badly.

However if he would swing and hit once we would witness a whole new version of the Brock dance

no way cm punk would ko him.... well maybe today he would hah

but it's crazy for being such a big joke he still does have some victories over big names. it just shows that sometimes brute force and size overcome skill

very true. and to be fair, it does seem that in some of the fights he did fight through some adversity.

i think it's bullshit this thread got wastelanded.

why can't we discuss a former pride fighter and former pride fights?

 

[bigsmooth187]

The images of Cro Cop dropping him and making him cry are on repeat in my mind.
No, Sapp sucked. If I'd have been born with his genes I'd have ruled the world ten times over by now.

 

[Ruthfella]

GOAT by sub (tappin to strikes)

 

[jasonjonesmma]

Brock would take him down and Sapp would quickly tap before he took any damage.

even a green brock?

you're probably right.

i'm still a bit salty that this got wastelanded probably thanks to @Le Choad when there's a fedor vs. jones, and brock vs. big nog threads still staying in the main board.

Pro wrestling discussion and fantasy match ups has been an automatic wasteland since I started lurking in 06. Have the rules changed..?

they're both mma fighters not pro wrestlers brahhhhhh
one fought under pride, one fought under ufc.
plus i was talking directly about past pride event too!

i just don't get why the fedor v jones fantasy hypothetical gets to stay in the heavies and so does the brock v. big nog.
