Lesnar's Training Partner Breaks Down His MMA Skills

MMAFightLine.com recently posted part 2 of their interview with UFC Fighter Brad Imes (of The Ultimate Fighter Season 2 fame). Imes has trained with Brock Lesnar recently, and when asked about Lesnar's MMA skills, he had this to say:

I think he's got a lot of potential. His stand up is really kinda nonexistent, but he's obviously a big powerful guy. And his ground game...I know, he's a D-1 national champ but I think he's pretty rusty as far as his ground game. I was able to pass guard on him, mount him, do whatever I wanted with him on the ground really. And he really didn't feel that strong to me, granted I don't grapple with anyone that feels strong to me. But, I think that one of his strengths when he was in college was that he was much stronger than everyone he went up against; and heavyweights, no matter what the sport . . . it is hard to find good ones. So, I think if he sticks with it he'll be great. I just think it was a mistake going to the UFC so quick. And I say that from someone who knows.
