Glazer and UFC star Chuck Lidell worked out today with Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, the 2009 Associated Press defensive player of the year. Cushing, whose session lasted 90 minutes today, has been a regular since the season ended.

Jay Glazer via twitter: "Chuck put Cushing thru a 90 min workout, muy thai, boxing, wrestling, pushed him hard but Cush pushed rt back. Mentally tough kid"

Glazer's been tweeting about this all offseason...says he's been trying to push him to a breaking point but Cush is too tough...

Wish our other guys trained this hard too

Awesome! Superman is gonna learn how to knock someone the F out MMA style.
 
That's awsome! I'd love to see Cushing in an MMA fight, although the training could easily get him injured. But that would be exciting for sure. Cush is a freaking beast!

I'd prefer Lyoto Machida training our boy.

I dunno man, I like moving forward and attacking better than back-peddling and counter punching (i.e. Mike Tyson versus a fighter like Trevor Berbick).

Meh, it's splittin' hairs at this point. Either way it's making an already bad man, badder.

Counter-point: Liddell could be teaching Cush how to get fat and drunk.

I'm guessing this is in preparation for the next meeting with the Titans. I say they send all the Texans to this training so other teams don't mess with them, especially our division rivals.
 
That's awesome. Really really good "workout" that gets the entire body in shape... not just certain muscles. Plus it really improves your instincts- I would love for our guys in the trenches (OL and DL) to go through this.

Thats pretty much the only thing that Glazer has tweeted for awhile now, is his NFL MMA training stuff
 
When you train in an aggressive and violent manner, you become more aggressive and violent. Might want to warn some folks that Cush won't be playing patty cake next season. He had a tendency to be borderline this year and came close to some flags. Hope he doesn't get too carried away. Then again, maybe not. PeyPey with a serious nose bleed and unfocused eyes would be a sweet picture.

Kick ass. Its the new value.
 
Cushing would be a beast in MMA if he dedicated himself to it the way he does football. With his combination of youth, physical assets, and mental toughness he would wreck shop with a couple years training.

But that's why HW divisions are notoriously weak in combat sports. The big guys who are elite athletes go to the higher paid sports like football....

I bet Cushing could cut to 205 with some adjustments to his diet as well. Hypothetical obviously but...
 
As someone who was initiallitay skeptical of Cush, I've been pleasantly surprised.... Dude is a beast!!!


Stay healthy my man and prove me wrong..... I like being wrong!!!

Or Liddels near perfect sprawl. He was one of the hardest guys to take down, nd a sprawl is very close to shedding a blocker. Liddel is one of the guys who hardly ever got gassed. I think it's a good guy to pick.

A lot has changed since 2005/6 :)
 
I just hope he doesn't pick up on the part of Chuck's workout routine that is centered entirely on hookers and mountains of cocaine.

If Cush could cut to 205, I could see him being a really dominant wrestler type that could be dominant on the ground and pound. Sort of like a Ryan Bader or Chael Sonnen type but with more potential.
