Does anyone have a source link or ANY information about this?
I would love to see pics or a video if you have em...
Thanks in advance for any help...
Besides this stuff...
just got this from Matt's site
We just got here late last night. Matt, Joey and I rode up from Hillsboro in his wife's new car.
Interesting night so far. Brock Lesnar is here training. He introduced himself to Matt once he saw him. Brock had a black eye and the first thing Matt said was "I looks like you've been training here already."
They just got done with a wrestling match a few minutes ago. Keep in mind Brock Lesnar is about 285-300 pounds and Matt is around 185-190 right now. Brock is clearly bigger and much stronger, but Matt wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He was continually taunting and slapping Brock throughout the match. At one point Brock made the mistake of giving Matt his back, Matt swung around and got both hooks in and for a second it looked identical to his first Trigg fight. Except Brock just powerbombs himself down to the ground. Even though he had just been slammed to the ground with 300 pounds on top of him, Matt never loses his grip and withing seconds Brock Lesnar is tapping out!

f any of this was already posted in detail, just ignore this. I did a search and found nothing. I just read this in the Wrestling Observer newsletter (issue 08/14/06) and thought I would pass it along, it regards Brock Lesnar and Matt Hughes meeting for a grappling workout :
"......It was noted that Lesnar had a black eye from all his stand-up training (there were reports that Lesnar has taken some shots and has proven to have a strong chin) and Hughes, seeing it, said, "It looks like you've been training here already." They did a grappling workout, and giving up about 90 pounds, Hughes was taunting and slapping Lesnar. At one point, Lesnar gave Hughes his back and Hughes got on Lesnar's shoulders and started choking him. Lesnar basically did the move Big Show did to Mick Foley where he jumped up and dropped back. Even though Hughes was squashed falling back with nearly 300 pounds, he held his grip and Lesnar tapped. Some people are acting like this is monumental and shows Lesnar won't make it in MMA, but that's actually what would be expected because amateur wrestling ability aside, Hughes has years of submission knowledge and Lesnar has weeks of submission avoidance training. Every great fighter taps out in practice unless they are working with training partners not of a high enough caliber to make them improve. I actually take this as a good sign, because Lesnar is training on his weaknesses, stand-ups and submission and allowing himself to be humbled, instead of working on his strong points. When asked how accurate the story was, Miletich said, "What happens in the gym stays in the gym"...."
Some other Lesnar notes were that he signed a 1-fight deal with K-1/Hero's. The newsletter seemed to think this was a bad idea because if Lesnar gets destroyed in his first fight, he'll loose positioning power for a new contract, and if Lesnar destroys his opponent then K-1 could end up loosing him to another company. The article also states that he is training at the Miletich camp from Monday to Friday from 9-11am and 4-6pm and drives seven hours home every weekend to see his wife and family. Sounds like he's pretty dedicated. With all the Lesnar-stories online I wonder if anyone is going to care about him anymore in a year? Maybe he'll flop, but maybe he'll be the next big star.

Does anyone have anything else on this...??
