Tim Hague says he felt like a "b-tch" while sparring with Brock Lesnar and Cole Konrad
Posted on December 26, 2011, 05:05 PM by Anton Gurevich"Was pretty surreal. Best training, and best group of guys I've ever trained with. WAR LESNAR. Because I need to get better at everything, and being able to work with Pat Barry and Cole Konrad one-on-one was unreal. Working MMA with Brock and five other legit UFC level HW's every day is something I don't get up in Edmonton. I'm not gonna give away any of his strategy, but he is scary strong, and scary conditioned, and if he gets the jump on a takedown, you're going down, or you're blowing out a knee or something haha. I just went there for a week to be a [heavyweight] dummy for Brock and the guys, I was slightly outta shape, but know what I have to do to be better next time. I wasn't paid or nothing, didn't ask to be and felt like I should have paid them to be there. I don't know who's better (Lesnar or Konrad), they both made me their bitch on the mats, and Cole's boxing is great as well. I got invited back for a full camp, and I'm chomping at the bit to make that happen." - (The UG)
UFC veteran Tim Hague shared his impressions from training with Brock Lesnar and co. at the DeathClutch camp in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The six-foot-four Canadian usually weights around 260lbs, and has a professional Mixed Martial Arts record of 13-5. Hague's comments back up the talk of Brock Lesnar being "at his full potential" for the fight with Alistair Overeem this weekend. Lesnar will look to prove a point against one of the most decorated fighters in the game, and answer to those who called for his retirement after the UFC 121 loss to Cain Velasquez.

Cmon Anton.....the word "dummy" was not used in the regard your headline points to. I believe it was more like "crash test dummy".....
This fight is going to be a tough one to call. I dont see how Reem is going to stop Brock from taking him down, however, if he IS successful with TD, then Brock is definitely at a disadvantage. This si going to be a real interesting one.....
Althoughj the headlines are the only part of this site I don't really like because they sort of put words in people's mouths at times, you're confusing the word (well it's not an actual word) "dumby" (a mental state) with "dummy" (an actual physical object). Hague didn't say he felt like a dummy, he said he actually was one and the sentiment is the same but yes it is still slightly out of context.
And also, they're really starting to develop quite a solid camp around Cole and Brock. Barry for striking, each other for wrestling and guys like Hague now who can just bring size and intensity. It's also interesting to note how he says he doesn't know who is better between Lesnar and Konrad, hopefully Bellator can get him some decent opponents. UFC doesn't co-promote but him against the winner of the strikeforce grand prix or Fedor would be a great matchup.
I will have to that one.... Looks like I kind of misread it ;)
I know it'd never happen, but imagine if Frank Mir hopped on board to train Brock in BJJ. Sweet Jesus, the beast that would be created.
Why not change the title then?
I appreciate you steppin up on that! Good stuff anton! Thats why Lowkick is the ish!
Done.... ahhh... I like you, LowKick'ers :) Thanks.
I dont get how you can train MMA, and be that fat, I couldnt even become that fat if I tried.
i could become twice as fat as those guys if i tried
that gyms so barebones they don't have a treadmill obviously
Whatever I and others used to think of Brock I'll say one thing. He is a previous top level fighter in his area and is obviously very smart to have accomplished that. He is too smart to not have applied his freak athleticism to his areas of weakness.
This will be a closer fight than many have thought.
I'll believe he's smart when he can pronounce Velasquez correctly. Oh, and when I stop hearing in my head about how Frank Mir "couldn't get any more luckier" when he caught the kneebar.
damn, Cole Konrad is one fat basta*d :o
brock will have a way bigger gas tank then overeem but i feal he will still fail and loose going to be a good fight good luck to both fighters
Together they share an IQ of 66
You got my first weak in a long ass time.
That just means you've been gone a while 8P
Lol same here
Oh Entity, I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling on that other thread :)
