BodyBuilder VS MMA, The Rock Enters Chat

The Rock Dwayne Johnson is a monster of a man, but how good would this wrestling body builder do in actual mma?

[@Yesno982004]

Remember, he's playing Mark Kerr, who's not exactly known for his crisp striking technique.

[@lightinferno4490]

There was no need to skip the shorts

[@vagabond4113]

Bro went commando

[@hihihihihello]

He's homosexual

[@Sirmxkveli]

I think he’s wearing his wwe shorts

[@motorizedlifting2534]

Natural bodybuilders could be the ultimate fighters, they do not put on mass like roid freaks but get strong and their muscle cardio is off the charts.

[@hanoitripper1809]

I see stiffness

[@andychiu8284]

I mean, to his credit, Mark Kerr was never a super fluid striker or anything.

[@scottmcley5111]

Kick def needs some work. Hes going to need to overcome the desire to want to muscle the technique with his background.

[@test_pc_user]

Rock is not even a body builder he’s a movie star

[@notproductiveproductions3504]

Now let’s a heavyweight to pressure test him

[@jhssterfield2]

Good words

[@mistermiyagi6073]

dude a 145er would drop him and badly hurt him within 1 minute. why the heck would we need a heavyweight LOOOL

[@mistermiyagi6073]

a 145 would drop him and hurt him very badly within 30 seconds. no need for a heavyweight

[@justsadlistener9114]

Brook Lesnar ate him

[@jonas8993]

@@mistermiyagi6073 I don't think anybody under 170 would have fun with the rock if it's mma. He doesn't need to be accurate with that much of a weight difference anywhere he can land will hurt, and if it gets on the ground the weight difference will be painful too.

English not good Jesus what are writing,😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏽

[@9usuck0]

Heard someone say learning side kicks to the leg is the best self defense. My reply to their video is that side kicks are really hard to teach normal and even people like the rock. Kicking isn't a natural way of defense for us. I've have shown many people how to kick, almost none of them have ever done it right.

[@universesixhit642]

It's like anything it takes hours and hours of focused consistent repitition to nail and even when you think you have it you need to keep on practicing.

[@9usuck0]

@universesixhit642 literally, anything else is easier to teach. That's why Bjj is so effective. We are all natural grapplers. Even punches are not too hard after a little. But most people, especially men, are so hard to teach. You gotta get them as kids, I've noticed.

[@infiad1275]

@@9usuck0 That's why kicks are so valuable on the street. Most people have never had to defend against them. Kinda like flashing a gun....you don't want this.

The Rock "bottle pisser" Dwayne Johnson

[@glaeken_molasar]

From what I got, he pissed in the bottle so he didn't have to take off the entire suit which would take time and them put it on which would again take time so it would take hours of production day after day. Him being late on set is literally nonsense considering that it was a point of beef with Vin Diesel. Diesel is late. Rock can't be late as he films and produces few films in the year unlike Diesel who does once in few years and mostly FF movies. It was confirmed that him being late is nonsense, him pissing in the bottle (which other people had done for same reasons) is not a crime. I think Rock is fake, his humble personality and the way he tries to present himself, but he is not a lazy asshole who is late and does diva moves, that is literally Vin Diesel. And all of these accusations only came out when he stopped endorsing Biden. When you do that openly, media will always have dirt thrown your way. If you are an athlete, they will "catch" you on PEDs or suddenly history of abuse and accusations of such will come out.

[@fgbae8220]

@@glaeken_molasar oh no no my friend, hes not just pissing in bottles on set, he also does it regularly at the gym, because (and I quote) "I have not time for this shit, when I train I train hard huehue" or other excuses like "yeah the gym I go to has no bathrooms". It's literally on video. He's a weirdo who likes to piss in bottles in public spaces.

[@fgbae8220]

"and all these accusations only came out when he stopped endorsing Biden" Ohh shut up dude, leave your dumb political bias out of this. The video of him in the gym where he admits to pissing in bottles (you can literally see his piss in a Voss bottle) in between sets is literally years old.

[@brucehillbillybarthalow3786]

He played football, highschool and college , So don't underestimate his gas tank . He might do pretty good, Brock Lesnar shocked the MMA community.

[@BMC11879]

Brock was 20 years younger though. Or at least 15 years younger with a strong wrestling background. But you never know what someone is capable of doing.

[@angusbeefballfro]

Brock Lesnar was a NCAA wrestling champion and probably wrestled since he was a young boy. That and along with being a genetic freak on steroids is why he shocked the mma community.

[@kychristell1779]

[@CebuanaDrama]

Can you do a video explaining why Eddie Hall’s kinetic chain is fluid yet he can still be jacked? We saw the hardest punch vid but would like to see more on Eddie Hall

[@pigs6486]

He’s an athlete?

[@TheAceInfinity]

Just replace him with Scott Adkins and do this right like Undisputed... There's no fluidity here and that's not going to change lol.

[@charlesard8639]

Why is wearing speedos??

[@DOOR.DASH.TYRONE]

Cause he has no skills so he copes by at least showing off that he's big for nothing.

[@hihihihihello]

Cause homosexual

[@glaeken_molasar]

Cause Mark Kerr who he is prepping to play in a film did the same during fights. He is getting used to character.

[@hihihihihello]

@@glaeken_molasar not like he needs practice wearing tights or speedos tho, rly didn't have to wear that but he did cause that's all he wears because homosexual

[@Chet_Philodenge]

Why aren't we all

[@kenharbeson967]

He is tracing for the Movie The Smashing Machine, a movie about the life of Mark Kerr. I agree bodybuilders can’t move or have the stamina as a trained martial artist due to the difference in trying to accomplish different goals. That being said people like Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman adapted their body styles to mma and faired well for sometime. Now if you look at someone like Allister Overeem or Vitor Belfort before testing who was Jacked but changed their training style were very dangerous fighter. Just saying…

[@infestchristopher1457]

That's why smaller wrestlers can wrestle better than big wrestlers.

[@julian-gen]

[@jimdo9797]

We actually don't know if Rock need that style for the move! This means that he are't training for MMA. The Rock are training for a roll in a movie!!!

I really hate those bodybuilders trying to do martial arts, it really annoys me that htey think they can get any good in a matter of weeks, it is insanely idiotic and the way they move all stiff and clueless of what they're doing while shamelessly posting it gets on my nerves, bodybuilders really believe they can fight just cause they're big. I hate that they want to invade the sport in this awfull manner

[@biimedicalsupplies9304]

I get what your saying I absolutely believe that anybody who is not trained a sport and still think they can dominate is ignorant but to The Rocks credit this was only for a movie.

[@nickleback3695]

I see way more mma fanboys talking shit about bodybuilders than I do bodybuilders who actually think they can fight. The only one that talks about winning fights is Bradley Martin, and he is just doing it for attention. Also, bodybuilders can beat up 90% of the population purely on size and strength alone so they can "fight" just not at an elite level. It seems to me that fighters and fight fans are the insecure ones, talking shit about guys just trying to train and experience martial arts because they hate the public perception that muscles= fighting prowess.

Calling the rock a “bodybuilder” as though he wasn’t a wrestler is crazy

[@squeezylo]

But this is a an mma channel and saying a wrestler would imply he wrestled for real and he never did. He was an entertainer. So calling him a body builder is definitely more accurate than calling him a wrestler. He definitely does the sport of body building

[@nicholasmacedo7738]

@@squeezylo first off I’m pretty sure a person doesn’t get to be in the wwe without real wrestling experience being that the style being portrayed is itself rooted in catch wrestling. But even if he doesn’t have real wrestling experience, the athleticism, skill and endurance required to perform “fake” wrestling moves is on a completely different level than what’s needed in bodybuilding

[@squeezylo]

@@nicholasmacedo7738 hahah. They definitely don’t need to have a wrestling background to get into WWE. lots of characters in the WWE don’t have a real wrestling background. They definitely have athletes. And the Rock was definitely athletic and was actually a football player until he got hurt. But to calm him a wrestler on this channel is just wrong when there are fighters mention here who have actual wrestling background which the rock does not have. He even struggled at first when he entered WWE. So it is definitely more honest to refer to him as a bodybuilder/actor at this point as that is what he is.

[@DuboisDel]

What is "crazy" about it? Mindsmash doesn't do "crazy". What it does do is considered, measured observation, and that is exactly what has been relayed here...accurately too. What, are you in your 20s...30s maybe? Because this dude👆🏽ain't got no real wrestling background I've ever heard of, instead, it's well known he comes from the WWE, in-ring performing sports entertainment storytelling era, he's 𝘯𝘰𝘵 even from the heydey of WWF where ringmaster technicians like the Hart bros, Backlund, Davey Boy Smith, Curt Angel, Mr Perfect even, etc etc etc abounded and who all had real wrestling backgrounds. The last I heard, The Rock was an American Footballer before being a 'wrestler', but he has basically ALWAYS been a "bodybuilder", just like the man said in the video. What 𝘪𝘴 crazy though is the hyperbolic use of "crazy" all the time these days by people desperately overemphasising their point. Do your research son

@@DuboisDel agreed 👍
