Sigh. Lesnar is not on the juice, and anyone speculating so is really misinformed about the testing procedures enforced by the athletic commission.
If he was juicing, he'd be caught. Just like Sherk was, just like Stephan Bonner was, just like every other athlete who comes to the UFC to fight. He's just a big massive man. And to say he has no skills is a bit hilarious. The guy is a NCAA champion -- and I'm pretty sure no one on this forum has competed in wrestling at that high a level.
I have no love for this guy as a performer or his ridiculous professional wrestling career -- I'm judging based on his performances. He's in the heavyweight division. This is what you deal with in that division - often extremely large people.
It's not just Lesnar's weight that holds Frank Mir down like a ragdoll. BJJ/Sambo practitioners train to work AGAINST larger opponents, by utilizing hip movements and applying skill to gain and control position, sweep, and escape. The fact is, Lesnar is a huge guy who also happens to be an incredibly gifted wrestler -- and a solid wrestling base is one of the most advantageous skills an MMA fighter can possess.
So anyway, HUGE kudos to GSP for destroying Alves with ease, even with that pulled groin (fucking ouch).
And watching Hendo shut down Bisping put a huge smile on my face. Just a really great night all around.
