"A 18 year wrestling background help him tremendously when training in Jiu Jitsu. He is rolling with my black belts and winning. The Jiu Jitsu from Brock is phenomenal. His ability to control and defend submissions is now in a whole new level. I recommend the ADCC to him and he will enter in the coming future. I will be with him and I don't think he will lose. No one will tap him and no one will outpoint him."

and from ADCC's page:

Thousands of Submission grappling tournaments around the world use elements of the ADCC format and rule structure. To date, the great majority of ADCC champions have had experience studying the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whose rules are the most similar to it. However, there have been notable exceptions to this, such as Sanae Kikuta (judo/catch wrestling), and Mark Kerr (Collegiate/Freestyle Wrestling).

Mark Kerr may not be the only wrestler to have success in the ADCC. Rodrigo 'Comprido' Medeiros has stated that Freestyle Wrestler and UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar, will be competing in the 2011 ADCC Tournament.

From Lesnar's website.

A few sources here, but still not sure if this is 100% confirmed or not yet. Will be interesting to see how he does if this is true.

Brock's a powerful wrestler who can take people down at ease and is athletic enough to power through submissions and perform sweeps others cant. We will finally get to see how Brock will be able to do against the real Jiu Jitsu powerhouses of the world.

That being said, there's no way he beats Roger, or any quality black belt out there, assuming they have one, they could just make a tournament to make Brock look good. Isn't the guy who runs ADCC also 10% owner of Zuffa now?

Did catching a gassed Carwin in a sidechoke make him think he could win an ADCC tourny? He must be kidding. I say this and I'm a Brock fan I can't imagine how the haters feel right now.
