Of course. I like Brendan Schaub in the heavyweight division, tough kid. He obviously needs 2-3 more good wins to put himself in the title shot talk....but hey, Gonzaga is a nice win for him. Gonzaga is a very good fighter.

The bull rush is fine, but this isn't football. Lesnar's takedown setup was sloppy. Like you said, brute force isn't always going to work. His striking needs a TON of work. His technique is awful. Hands were not in front of his face, protecting his chin. He didn't use good footwork, nor did he use good angles to cut the Octagon off and make Cain circle. He was punching semi-sideways, and not straight in the pocket. My biggest problem though is if you're going to get a takedown on Cain, you have to try to scramble to get to a dominant position quickly. Cain got right back up because Brock didn't use proper leverage...and that was the end of that.

Brock needs to bring in some new coaches. Swallow the pride and head to Greg Jacksons camp. You agree?

ATT would be a good camp for him.

Remember the wink and smile during the start of round 2? They have worked out together in the past. They're not exactly blood brothers but...... Anyways......it was just a suggestion. Brock doesnt seem to be the asshole type, hes gracious in defeat (maybe not when he wins lol--2nd Mir fight), and has even trained with Randy Couture since beating him. A few times.

I would think a change of scenery might do him well. Jackson's would be intriguing. But he really needs just a lot of refining. Atleast hire a new striking coach. Too bad the best kickboxing coaches in America are Cain's coaches at AKA in San Jose.
