Vinny Magalhaes says he "Never even met Brock."
by Tim Groves on April 03, 2011

An earlier report focused on a supposed interview between Jay Hieron and Fighters Mag that was transcribed by MMAMania. The interview contained the following quote from Hieron:

"Couture had him go through rounds of rolling. One person would step in, roll with Brock for 2 minutes then step out and someone else would go in. Forrest Griffin was there, Vitor was there, I was there, Sefo was there. We had a bunch of guys. He was incredibly strong, we would just go in there and get submitted a couple times and get out. He caught Forrest in the same straight armbar three times in the two minutes they were rolling. The only one he didn't tap out was Vinny [Magalhaes] but it was more of the same."

Vinny Magalhaes is now refuting these claims. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu standout took to The Underground forum to set the record straight. On the popular mixed martial arts forum Magalhaes posted the following:

"The only time I saw Brock in person was backstage when he was getting ready for the weigh ins for his second fight against Frank. 

I'm not sure if was really Jay who said those things in that interview, but I don't think Brock would sub Forrest, at least not 2x in the same move like it was said. Also, I haven't seen Forrest at XC since he was getting ready for his last fight, so I was wondering when this "supposedly" happened."

While Magalhaes isn't outright denying the claims of Hieron, it does contradict what the Bellator welterweight had to say. While Hieron claimed that Lesnar was tapping everyone except Magalhaes, Magalhaes contends that they have never even met.

Stay tuned for any updates to the story.
