UFC 121 Ultimate Challenge, Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasques
Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez Ultimate Challenge
Brock Lesnar has accomplished so much in his mixed martial arts career in a short amount of time. It was only two years ago that Lesnar made his UFC debut and he has made a huge impact on the sport of MMA. Since his debut, Lesnar has fought only the best competition that UFC has to offer. Collecting wins over Frank Mir, Randy Couture and Shane Carwin, Lesnar has arguably become the company’s biggest draw. Now, at 33 years old,
Lesnar sits atop the heavyweight mountain with the UFC Heavyweight Championship intact and shows no signs of giving it up. Ahead of his anticipated clash with undefeated heavyweight prospect Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 Live Stream, we’ll take a look at the moments that have defined Lesnar’s career so far. From suffering defeat, to capturing UFC Heavyweight crown, it’s not hard to see why Brock Lesnar is the baddest man on the planet
After getting out to a 4-0 start in the UFC and stunning the MMA world with a head kick KO of Mirko Cro Cop, Gabriel Gonzaga has fizzled since. Gonzaga was unable to capitalize on that momentum, losing back-to-back fights to Randy Couture (heavyweight title fight) and Fabricio Werdum. Gonzaga picked up wins against Justin McCully and Josh Hendricks before losing to Shane Carwin in a minute. He rebounded with a TKO win against Chris Tuchscherer but was knocked out by Junior dos Santos in March. To this point, Gonzaga has been the ultimate heavyweight gatekeeper and has lost to all the top-flight competition he’s faced.
How he gets it done: Gonzaga has never been to a decision in his 16-fight career win or lose and has multi-faceted skills winning six fights by submission and five fights by KO or TKO. All five of Gonzaga’s losses have come by TKO. Gonzaga has nasty leg kicks that can soften up opponents. He has tremendous power in both his hands (ask Kevin Jordan and Josh Hendricks) and feet (ask Cro Cop and Couture) but his problem has been the mental game. Still, he brings skills that have to be respected by any fighter.
Entering the UFC via “The Ultimate Fighter 10,” Brendan Schaub has made a name for himself after suffering a first-round knockout loss to Roy Nelson in the show’s tournament final. Schaub has destroyed both Chase Gormley and Chris Tuchscherer in a combined 1:54 with strikes, leading many to wonder what type of potential he has in the heavyweight division. This is a big fight for Schaub, as Gonzaga is no pushover and has challenged for the world title in the past.
How he gets it done: Like Gonzaga, Schaub has never been to a decision, winning all six of his fights by TKO. Schaub is a quick-moving striker who has what could turn out to be a lethal combination of speed and power for the heavyweight division. His ground game, however, is woefully untested. It will be interesting to see how Schaub responds should Gonzaga take the fight to the mat.
X-Factor: How has Schaub’s ground game progressed? That is a great unknown in this fight. Gonzaga has very good skills on the mat, ones Schaub likely will have trouble with. Can he keep the fight standing? Will he even need to? Many questions will be answered.
