At last, circumstance's dictate he has to fight a half credible opponent and he gets his ass handed to him on a plate.
Was lined up to face Ken Shamrock, he busted his eye in practice earlier in the day so a light heavyweight opponent that was due to fight in a non televised undercard bout steps in at the last minute and finishes Kimbo within seconds

He has a band of merry men, mostly youtube stalwarts, that seemed to think he was the best fighter on the face of the planet.
He was always a big bruiser that could take a punch but MMA is a completely different matter. He got battered in a straight up fight there though, he'd be even worse if a jiu jitsu specialist or wrestler took him to the ground.

totally agree, hes got alot of chin but the reaction time of a slug, anyone with a good pace about them would take him imo.

I can acknowledge that he's not a top fighter in the cage, but put the same fighter on a street with no referee and Seth is in intensive care. Ref's jump in too quickly in cage fighting, it's gone all modern day health and safety. Poor.

No but I can street fight, I'm pretty quick but my problem is I haven't got time for any of that 'haaaa ya' crap, I prefer brawling gypsies.

I'd take it up if i could find somewhere local that run a club or something.
I was watching a programme on Bravo last week about the Gracie family and how the whole Brazilian Jiu Jitsu movement was evolved completely by the 1 family, i was amazed by it.

When Hoyce Gracie was about it was more brutal wasn't it? You'd see snapped arms and legs more often, now if you throw a couple of punches they stop it, and I was watching Brock Lesnar's defeat, they let anyone in nowadays.

I knew of a guy who used to run a Thai Boxing club in Rotherham, I only joined to keep fit originally but didn't like that sort of stuff because it never came naturally to me, but he was a Brazilian bloke, called Pat Reveillino, there is bound to be some info on the web about him because he was 3 times WC at his weight before he began doing clubs.

I've been after a Brazilian Ju Jitsu club for years, no chance of finding one by me, theres fuck all round my area really.
I thought about Aikido too, but its one of the hardest arts to learn/master so could be to high for me.
I did Karate for 7 yrs, then had my knee op and i had to quit, so don't want to go back to the same art, i know how to strike/block now i want to learn a grapple/submission art

I'm curious what happened there, did he take a punch as he ran forward or did he just nosedive into the floor?

Front kick missed but he took a right clean on the face and folded like a cheap deckchair. Slow mo shows it far better;

To be fair Lesnar has had 2 fights in the UFC, showed his lack of experience against Frank Mir by being far too brash but then pummeled Heath Herring and won on a decision.
Thing about him though is, he's one of the best collegiate wrestlers America has produced in decades....he has transferrable skills to the MMA world, coupled with the fact he's a genuine monster of a human being.
