During a recent episode of the podcast, TimboSugarShow, Suga Sean spoke with his coach, Tim Welch about Lesnar’s time at UFC. O’Malley was a young high school teenager when The 7-Time WWE Champion made his debut. Therefore, he does not seem to have many recollections of that time.
While speaking on the topic of how Cain Velasquez totally messed up Lesnar, O’Malley confessed that he was not around when The F-5 star rose to success. But he still believes that he knows how it happened. “I need to go back and watch (the fight with Cain Velasquez), because that’s just skill difference,” said O’Malley.
He added the claim that Lesnar was successful not because of his skill set but his body size until he faced Velasques. Suga Sean further said, “Because Brock was obviously, probably so dominant because of how massive he was. Because was he good at wrestling, or was he just so big? He had a good double leg.”
O’Malley explained that facing Velasques was not a piece of cake because he could not take advantage of his size factor as he could in his previous matches. According to Suga Sean, the size of Lesnar was not enough to conquer the skill difference of his opponent.
