jerome lebanner shoots double leg

Underground
1

Anyone else see that on K1 dynamite? he had mount on the 400lbs russian judo guy, the guy gave his back, lebanner threw a couple of punches, briefly tried a choke, then just stood up. . . only to immediately attempt a double leg, and was sprawled out flat

does anyone have some insider info? was he messing around with a guy he knew would tire out? just trying to get more MMA experience? has he been crosstraining so hard that the takedown was a natural reaction?

after having such a dominant position it just seemed crazy to give it up, then try a takedown against a much larger opponent who specializes in grappling!

"just trying to get more MMA experience" is correct

3

I told him to do that.

4

I showed him how....

5

i though it heard your ear piercing shriek on the PPV wombat

6

is he really 264lbs as sherdog says?

if so, i would like to see him in the ufc against Sylvia and other strikers

7

He would destroy the jabbing Sylvia. Just like when Don Frye got his string of air jabs interrupted.

Lebanner would get ground and pounded by any grappler. Sapp took him down at will. His childhood judo wont save him.

8

Shriek means shoot.

LeBanner would OWN Sylvia.

As a kickboxer I love to watch Jerome and Remy in any discipline but I def think JLB would do better in MMA than RB but Mix6APlix is prob correct - he may well be too old to take it up seriously now....

Lebanner would take sylvia apart in minutes

11

"LeBanner would OWN Sylvia." / "Lebanner would take sylvia apart in minutes" - wombat & DangerMouse have frontkicked the correct....

I got this info from one of his cornermen, Before the fight JLB said that he would try new things, grappling, wrestling and MMA stuff because he's been training with Dean Lister, Bertrand Amoussou and others. He was true to his word.

I think with a little more experience JLB could still be a force in MMA, according to everyone who has ever trained with him he's incredibly strong and his progress in grappling is evident.

credit to him for trying takedowns and submissions (though i feel bad for him - his first takedown attempt in MMA was vs. an enormous grappler)

with such good trainers and strength, another year and he should be able to do very good in the UFC heavywieght division

and no doubt he is tough - his fight with sapp where he spent two full rounds mounted by sapp and taking punches was impressive!

14

Lebanner did not look bad against Sapp, even stuffed A few of Sapps takedowns and mounted him. And in the standup, he damn near killed sapp and had Sapp in the stand up fetal position the whole round

15

correct...and there are not a lot of fighters that put this beating on Bob Sapp...I mean, even Hoose could not beat him

Le Banner is about 255 in good shape, a little less when he's super scary ripped. He hasn't looked ridiculous like in 99 (when he was 270) for a while.
