7 best MMA moves of Brock Lesnar

#1 The George Foreman “Frankenstein” hands

George Forman is perhaps one of the greatest professional boxers and fighters of all time.

One of the most peculiar moves that “Big” George popularized both during his first as well as second stint in the sport of boxing, is the outstretched hands which he used to both measure his opponent as well as to parry incoming strikes.

Foreman’s style often made him appear as though he were Frankenstein’s monster, stalking his foe around the ring with one or most of the time both hands outstretched.

Brock Lesnar utilized the outstretched arm approach masterfully in his 2016 fight against Mark Hunt—a matchup where Lesnar seemed to have learned from his previous losses where his striking defense was to simply move back in a straight line.

While Foreman used the aforementioned approach the best—both defensively and offensively—Lesnar primarily utilized it to defend against Hunt’s strikes.

Regardless, Lesnar’s lack of a jab or any form of striking (punches, elbows, knees, kicks) apart from his big right hand, was to a great extent covered up by his outstretched hands stiff-arming Hunt and pushing the latter off-balance.

Nevertheless, he’ll likely go down as one of the biggest “what if?” cases in combat sports history.

“What if Brock Lesnar would’ve started training for MMA at a younger age?”

“What if his peers in the MMA community weren’t prejudiced against the WWE Superstar?”

“What if they welcomed him into their elite MMA camps and allowed him to gradually evolve his striking skills?”

Love him or hate him, it remains an undisputed fact that current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is a great fighter.
