Mir looking good and the knee seems fully recovered. I think Mir has the physical tools to defeat Lesnar but I sense a mental weakness. I'm not sure he believes he can win.

Lesnar looking like a beast on the takedowns and GNP but looking like a robot on his feet throwing punches. Boxing is not something one can become competent at in 12 months and it shows. Lesnar's biggest edge is his mental toughness/confidence.

Bottom Line: Mir's only chance to win is to keep the fight on their feet and KO Lesnar with a punch or high kick. A single counter-punch to the face from the 260 lb Mir should be enough to put Lesnar down and out. If Lesnar even thinks about boxing, he's dumber than he looks. Mir will get a few chances but if he swings and misses badly, Lesnar will dump him on his back and Mir won't be able to do anything with Lesnar on top. Lesnar is too powerful, too quick, and too smart to get submitted. Lesnar by GNP R1.

I dont think Lesnar is too smart to get submitted but his strength will be a key factor. He's pretty quick for someone his size.
I like Mir but i was disappointed when he dominated Wes Sims but couldnt even pull off a submission. Frank's cardio is his biggest weakness.

It'll be an interesting match.

I predict Lesnar will win. He has the power over Mir. He has ground skills and he has agility for someone of his size. His GNP is awesome. Unless he gets hit with some punches that do damage enough to knock him to the ground from being dazed I don't see Mir hurting him much. But who knows, but I like Lesnar.

Mir by submission (armbar)

what's pretty much what I'm thinkin too ,saw the countdown show last night on spike and lesnar has no game plan,he seems to think his mere presence in the cage is gonna be enough for him to pull a miracle out of his ass

Danny · « **Reply #5 on:** January 31, 2008, 01:44:07 PM »

Lesnar is gonna put his fist trough Mir's mouth...

Unless he gets lucky I don't see him wining this fight, Mir is very technical and will probably win. D

based on what ?

the way he looks in a pair of wrestling panties ?

Bluto · « **Reply #8 on:** January 31, 2008, 03:27:12 PM »

Let's not forget the fact that Brock has a huge dildo tattoed on his chest, I'd say that's reason enough to want him submitted!

It's VERY suspicious that some people wants him to win!

based on him being a collegiate wrestling champion, much stronger than mir, better cardio than mir, plus he fucked ur nasty ass mom, so anyone that can deal with that sort of pain ain't gonna tap from a lil arm bar

and sorry bud, i didn't realize that mir fought in long sleeves and sweat pants, last time i checked he fought in lil ass shorts not much bigger than lesner's

Brock takes Mir down quickly and procedes to GnP until ref steps in. Brock by ref stoppage rd.1.

Lesnar wins for a variety of reasons:

a) he's Dana's golden boy. A pure money maker. (not saying the match is fixed, but........)
b) won't have the ring jitters as most new fighters display. Brock loves the starlight as he did in the WWE.
c) Lesnar is one big, strong dude. Yes strength isn't the game, but it sure is handy trying to weasle outta leg locks and arm bars.
d)Mir is notably scared (for lack of a better word) as i would be too.

Lesnar's cardio is just don't know about though...what if this (as may very well happen) goes to a round 2?

Lesnar by vicious gnp round 1

ive betted on mir, but that's probably my biggest concern... let's just say if there's a gnp situation i bet the ref stoppage might come very quickly in favor of brock...

This is a hard fight to call. If Mir shows up confident and capable, he should win with ease. If he loses this fight in his mind before it starts, then he has no chance.

Watching the UFC Countdown last night on Spike, I realized that Mir still has concerns over his leg. He wraps it during practice. Not a good sign. I can see him reinjured during the fight and having it stopped.

Either way, I'm sticking with my prediction: Mir armbar 1st round.

it's not like leg kicks are gonna be one of lesnars "feared weapons...

brocks gonna have enough trouble throwing hands for 3 minutes without all his bulk gassing him out to even think about leg kicks......

I think brock's gonna wrestle his way straight into a guillotine

Bluto · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2008, 01:57:21 PM »

if lesnar is off the juice he might not be that big and powerful anylonger.

and its not like mir hasnt fought big guys before. he fought plenty of guys weighin 260-270 pounds.

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2008, 11:52:47 PM »

There's only a 10lb. difference between them, you guys are making it out like Lesnar outweighs Mir by 40lbs.

ah, well when u make a stupid fucking comment like what u said about him wearing panties, then expect a stupid fucking answer...and fyi, lesner will win this fight, get ur head out between Mir's ass cheeks buddy, u dig homo?

… [Brock Lesnar] is only the second man in the history of combat sports in Nevada to wear size 4XL gloves, the other being South Korean giant Choi Hong-man, who is 7-3 and 367 pounds.”

“I’m going with Mir with a second-round submission. As big and strong as Lesnar is, and as hard as he’s going to come, I think he’s going to put Mir right where he wants to be and Lesnar’s going to get out of position and get caught.” - randy couture

I say Frank Mir will kill Brock Lesnar.

While Brock Lesnar may be a good college wrestler, he never was an incredible college wrestler, he didn't dominate.

What I've seen from his college days was a guy who got around a lot on his tremendous strength and physique, and less on his wrestling abilities.

Sorry, I think Lesnar will either be KNFO'd or tap out.

Mir has been looking surprisingly good from what I've seen.
