After years of watching Bob Sapp fight in Pride, K-1, and now Dream, I always assumed his pre-fight preparation involved weightlifting, a little bit of stairmaster while flipping through a copy of Self magazine, and a nightly regimen of practicing scary faces in the bathroom mirror. But this video would have me believe that he’s actually in the gym training MMA moves in advance of his Super Hulk tournament bout against Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou on October 6. By training, really I mean he’s throwing extremely slow strikes in between exhausted gulps of air. But like the really fat people you see plodding their way through a slow motion workout at the gym, at least he’s in there doing something, right?
To give Sapp the benefit of the doubt, it’s possible that this video was shot near the end of a grueling training session, and that’s why the act of throwing ten consecutive kicks seems as though it might make his lungs explode. Or it could just be that Sapp’s body isn’t made for prolonged periods of activity, and no amount of encouragement from Antonio McKee is going to change that. Good thing he’s got that acting career to fall back on.

I don't have much faith in Sokoudjou though so I say Sapp takes this.
A little less kicky and punchy, a little more runny though methinks. Fix that cardio big boy.
