Lesnar has gotten a hell of alot better. The loss to Mir did nothing but help him out. Looking forward to the fight.
How? Lesnar's sub defense isn't any better than it was when Mir subbed him. Brock beat down Herring, and I'll give him credit for it. Randy was old and waaay undersized,..perfect style matchup for Brock....and the little old guy STILL busted him up before succumbing. Mir beats Lesnar again with a submission.
I dont know sure Brocks improved but those 9 months Mir really REALLY improved his striking skills now Brocks gotta worry about that on top of Mirs nasty ground game that he already lost to once. I give Frank the edge those right uppercut-left straight combos where impressive.
Lesnar? Lesnar is a beef that got a title-fight, against an elderly man, that he didn't deserve. He can be good, sure, but give it a few years.
It'll be an interesting match up as Lesnar will have to face the very same problem again ie. Mir's excellent jj. Problem is that Lesnar won't be able to improve his game enough to counter Mir if they hit the ground. Saying that I fancy Brock. If I was Brock I'd try and keep the fight standing. If Mir hits the deck let him back up unless he's certain of finishing him. I know Mir's standup looked very good but that was against a guy fighting in straight lines, with no head movement and who didn't appear able to pull the trigger. It'll be a very exciting match up as it is a genuinely hard one to call.
