England prop Matt Stevens trains some gypsy jiu jitsu

"If I fought in the UFC, I’d obviously try and pick someone that I could beat! And I don’t think I could beat anyone in the UFC but I wouldn’t mind getting knocked out by one of my heroes! Brock Lesnar, former UFC champ, is a bit of a machine and I’d like to see how I faired against someone that big and strong. But there’s a lot of big guys that I could go up against so I’d have to go against the heavyweights because I’m about 260 pounds now so that’s pretty scary."

I'm sure I read somewhere that Stevens is a decent grappler?

I'm still sure Gethin Jenkins and Adam jones will still rough him up in the front row ;-)

He was in my bracket in the British open absolute, if I'd won my second fight I would've fought him, would've been interesting!!!!
