Conversly, athletes who are the best of the best rarely make great coaches. They usually either had natural talent to begin with, or just learned things so well that its automatic for them, and they don't know how to communicate those skills and what it takes to get them to someone else.
And even the best guy needs a coach to push him, and give him the perspective and feedback from the outside looking in that he can't have because hes in the middle of the fight.
Furthermore every fighter is different, even if they have similar styles, and theres always something new you can learn from just about anybody whether you can beat them or not. It only takes one little insight to improve your game in a significant way, and sometimes the guy you can beat may have a trick he knows that can add to your game. The fact that you can beat him may be due to other factors, but something that he knows that you don't will make you better.
So if Brock is training with Randy then that proves that he is very smart, and humble, and he's serious about being the best HW out there.

Yeah, it is very humble of both Lesnar and Couture. Both can learn from each other.
Anyone who says u can't learn from Randy because Lesnar is crazy.
Couture's probably forgotten more then Lesnar's learned.
