Toxylon - I would probably get real physical, bang on his head a lot and try to wear him down. With another skilled opponent, and no locks or throws allowed, I would imagine this match would go on for a while. Most likely, I would wait for an opportunity and shoot a standing double-leg takedown.

And has the level of flirting going on in the thread reached the point to where I can say “Pix or it don’t exist”? 😉

You’ll like this: I watched the fight at our martial arts academy (neato big screen projector), and I had the bright idea to make a group bet that whoever backed the losing fighter had to do 50 burpees. Probably 20 guys called it for Mir and only 3 or 4 for Lesnar. I had Mir and had to do the burpees. After I was done and sat down to watch the prelims one of the guys who called it for Lesnar (himself a former college wrestler), came over and told me “just so you know, the wrestler wins this one, too.” Smartass. 😃

Mean Old Lady - I was until then. Didn’t know he was such an ass.

Pravnik - don’t mean to brag, but we are the best.

> Seriously though, I have so many good stories from wrestling. From insane workouts, to weight loss, to drunken messes with my buddies, wins/losses, and everything in between. I really just want to share these stories with everybody cause it nearly is my life story. So I hope this prompt helps and ask away!

Share every one of those stories as far as I’m concerned 😃  
I was pretty damn sure Lesnar would dominate just as you were, but frankly, I’m not a wrestler, so I was curious 🆒
