Baroni's training at AKA so no surprise who he's picking, but Lesnar a coward? Great interview over at mondaymorningblackbelt.com, the coward comments surprised me the most but his comments on steroids and taking credit for discovering kampmann are well worth the read also.
MMBB: This weekend we got the big fight, I know you’re at AKA and I know you’re gonna give me the "Cain Velasquez is gonna win," you really…
Baroni: listen, this is the thing, I told Joe Rogan years ago in, when I was cornering Coleman, where was that? Ireland, in Ireland, we some how…You know I had a couple drinks and that dude came up, Velasquez, and I said dude listen, this guy has the gas tank that nobody has. He has an unbelievable gas tank, like I can’t explain it, you got to see it. They should do some tests on this guy because it’s not fair, he can not get tired. I mean he can’t get tired! I mean I don’t think I would lose any fights if I had that gas tank. I think he’s just blessed with something, and you know, maybe he doesn’t have one punch knock out power, but it doesn’t matter if he hits you 500 times with the same power as the first punch he throws. I mean the guy, anything can happen in a fight, you could get blasted, but he does not slow down, you can’t keep his pace. And he is a great athlete and he’s fast for the weight and he’s technical and he’s got balls you know he’s gully. I just don’t see anyone beating that guy. I think he’ll be champion for a long time, I think he’s gonna do what Fedor did, and I’m on nobodies nut sack you know what I mean, there’s no one that I’m a fan of, but I don’t see any holes in this guys game.
MMBB: I just see the size, I see Brock just taking him down and pounding him out, and I mean I think Cain is definitely the number one contender, but I just think…And I’m not a Brock fan at all! AT ALL, but I just think his size is just too much, and his speed.
Baroni: He’s not faster than Cain, he’s fast but he’s not faster than Cain. And man, in that fight he just showed me that he’s a little bit of a coward, I mean against Carwin.
MMBB: Backing up and kinda cowering?
Baroni: I would never do that, I would never crumble to the ground. I’ve had a lot of guys bombing on me and I’ve never crumbled to the ground to my back, and I don’t think he would have been upset at all if they had stopped that fight, what could he have said? Cain’s gonna do that to him ALL DAY and he’s not gonna get tired. Yeah he’s not that big, but he’s way faster than Carwin and he’s a better athlete, he’s a better wrestler and I’ve been a fan of this guy from day one because I just know what he’s got, that gas tank, and I just don’t see anyone overcoming that.

Lesnar's not a coward
but he is cocky and has an ego. I think he is afraid of getting hit, but no he is no coward
he really needs to improve his stand up before he can hang with the top of the division, age aside he is still young in the sport and will improve.
brock lesnar is my hero and the lions are my favorite team does that make me a loser?

he is a one dimensional fighter. i thought the carwin fight was just one bad experience. it was not.
velasquez is an all around great mma fighter. we both lost money on brock and everyday he wakes up he has to see the scar on his cheek that is forming on his cheek as we speak. i’m off the lesnar money train and i threw him to the wolves.
jeremy jackson is my puta.

that scare will haunt him in his oldest days, but im not jumping off the bandwagon, we has still done a lot in 2 years considering he entered the sport so late.
We have not seent the best Brock.

Can he truly evolve though? Mitrione raised a great point in how willing is Brock to open his mind and listen to good people? If he doesn’t apply himself mentally and intellectually then I don’t see him regaining his title [and I say all this as an avid fan of the guy]. Natural talent will only get you so far, then application of oneself must kick in to fill in the gaps

if brock swallows his pride and trains with jackson (or a good camp) but as of now he appears to be the bj penn of the north..

the illness appeard to humble him so maybe the loss will change his views on training.
I guarentee the talk of him cowering from punches in his last 2 fights are not sitting well. It just comes down to how much he wants it. He still has a great wrestling base and a solid work ethic, i still have him top 5 in the HW division, but he needs to improve his striking if he ever wants to be the baddest man on the planet again.
btw anyone catch fedor’s status update on facebook right after the fight ended?
Badest man on the planet

for sure he’s top five, but arguably he could have Carwin, JDS and Velasquez all above him. It remains to be seen how he will rebound alright, I live in hope because i’ll need it. But hey, the night is darkest just before the dawn so maybe he comes back and goes on that long ass tear through the division culminating in an all conquering reign of terror that I had imagined he would make….

i can see arguments for obviously cain, and jds, and then iv'e got him almost even with fedor and werdum, some may even put the reem above him. I don't see how carwin is above him without a victory since losing to him.

He's no coward BUT . . .
