Brock Lesner K-1 MMA circus

[DUCE]

From Sherdog;

Former NCAA wrestling champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar made official his debut in K-1 HERO's, reports Sherdog.com's Mike Sloan from ringside at K-1 USA's "Battle At Bellagio" tournament in Las Vegas.

Invited to the ring Saturday evening by announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr., the 285-pound Lesnar announced his planned October debut against a yet-to-be-decided opponent.

Joining the Webster, South Dakota native in his announcement, three-time UFC tournament champion Royce Gracie (Pictures) stated that he would help prepare the former WWE pro wrestler for his mixed martial arts debut.

Lesnar has recently trained in Bettendorf, Iowa with Pat Miletich (Pictures) and his group of fighters.

I think he will have to lose some of the 285 of bulk to fight.

He should ideally get to about 240 or so.

He could be very dominant if it keeps his interest.

Swarm started a similar thread (Re: MMA Lesner), and I'll say the same here...If Brock can take to it quick and do really well at it, He will be absolutely AWESOME to watch...

His biggest challenge will be to overcome the years of wrestling and be comfortable with grappling- and that means comfort on his back. If he is at Militech, though, he should be okay.

Plus the aforementioned weight.- I am not saying he is fat, but he neeeds to lose a great deal of mass to help his tank. Many, many of the muscular heavies gas out by the end of the first round.
