Lesnar aiming for ADCC and the Mundials

DeathClutch Gym will stay alive, according to Lesnar manager, Brian Stegeman. Lesnar wishes to continue training to remain athletically fit and helping his training partners grow as fighters. However, he himself has retired from competing in Mixed Martial Arts.

Grappling Tournaments, however, are still something Brock Lesnar has shown interested in according to Mr. Stegeman. Lesnar has been grappling his entire life. One can only assume that a grappling tournament would feel more like home for him than a mixed martial arts fight.

Lesnar feels he would be successful in such tournaments and will use his time in training now as preparation for any future Submission Wrestling/BJJ tournament. Though Lesnar has always trained no-gi Jiu-Jitsu, he is willing to compete in the Mundials (World Jiu-Jitsu Championship) under the black belt level.

The 2013 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships is also something Lesnar is considering. Many other wrestlers have had success in this tournament.
Brock Lesnar loves competition, and there is no better competition for him than Submission Wrestling.

How do you guys think he'd do? Hard to imagine him in a gi!

wow that would be very interesting, cant imagine brock in a gi

The IBJJF won't allow him to compete at black belt, so it's a moot point. It will he interesting to see how he'd do at ADCC if he follows through with that.

I reckon he'd be pretty good

At least he wont have to worry about taking a smack.

Sounds like bollocks to me.

I dont think he'd do well against the +99kg guys in the ADCC. It would simply take too much training to get him up to the standard required to compete with Werdum or Vinny.

Even if it was possible for him to compete in the Gi, he would get eaten alive at the Mundials.

He can enter the qualifiers like everybody else if he is serious about it

Barry.Oglesby · 03-01-2012 4:36pm

It's plainly a face saving press release from his camp. Obviously rushed together too since they failed to ascertain whether he would be permitted to compete in the Mundials. He may well have been a high quality wrestler, but he simply won't be able to hang with ADCC heavies and if he does get an invite in 2 years time it better be because he's schooled everyone at GQ in the preceding year. Other than that, as has been said, go qualify.
