I liked the look on Lesnars face.....I think Mir takes him again he already has the edge phsychologically
I hope he does as well i like Mir and i think he is looking the best he has post accident....Lesnars WWF thing always kind of botherd me,i think it hurts an athletes credibility.....
Mir doesn't have any psychological edge over Lesnar. He was getting thrown around like a wet sack before Lesnar made a rookie mistake. Mir was fortunate to get the win over Lesnar, legit as it was. Both of them know that in a rematch, all bets are even. Whether or not you like pro wrestling, Lesnar is a real athlete and he's got the raw skills to be HW champ for an extended period of time - so long as he works on his sub defense and gets some ground offense working other than just riding and g'n'p.
This is again and intriguing fight as Lesnar did very well in there first encounter. But being a rookie he left his leg out and got kneebarred. Mir could very well do the same again but lets be honest he was quite fortunate. Mir has alot of advantages in terms of striking and his submission game but how he handles Brocks physical size strength and speed is going to be key here. If Brock mounts him it could be over but Mir does have the wherewithall to pull for a sub. 50/50 fight for me as i can see it going either way.
Lesnar is still learning his craft. His learning curve, at this early stage of his mma career is probably very steep. He's probably learning new skills on a weekly basis as I have not seen him try subs yet although I'm sure by now he has perfected a few. His enormous strength is probably a disadvantage in that it lets him get away with a lot of things that would get a weaker man subbed. He also is a hell of a powerful striker. If he gets a complete mma game like Mir has he will be unstoppable. Raw, brutal strength like Lesnar's is pretty rare.
Well now Lesnars gotta worry more about Mirs new found striking skills he looked wonderful last night and you know Brock doesnt wanna be on the ground its to risky I dont give a crap how good Brock is hes only been training a couple years now that cant compete with a guy whos been a Blackbelt for like 5 years.
The simple fact is if you don't know any BJJ your in DS on the ground, I saw Mir training with Eddie Bravo and he was working really hard with big strong guys, Lesnar has bugger all JJ and even with an accelerated program he could not have the live experience to pull any submissions off, he can only use his size and power, power fades and size works against you in BJJ, the perfect system to take a big guy out is JJ.
If Mir shows the kind of striking against Brock like he did last night against Rodrigo, I think he's going to give Lesnar trouble. Brock doesn't have the striking ability to compete with Mir standing. I think Frank needs to hurt Brock with his striking to be able to win by submission. I don't see Mir knocking Lesnar out. And I don't see Frank submitting Brock unless Lesnar is hurt.
Brock will not stand and trade, he will try and ground and pound him again, not on his knees this time but Mir will grab and arm and break it, paraphrasing " Lets make Lesnar famous and break something on him"
Mir seems to be a bit sadistic with all the talk he does about "breaking" things. I'm picking Lesnar by 1st round stoppage.
I dont think Brock should fear Mir's striking. Brock can take Mir's punch, but Mir cant, i'm pretty sure of that. Brock should avoid to go to the ground
Yeah, I hear ya.:good I don't care for that thug talk either. Mir's obviously an intelligent dude. Bragging about potentially maiming a fellow competitor is kind of lowlife. I think that Brock is gradually perfecting his mma skills and along with his freakish strength will be too much even for Mir. Brock has some good striking ability and tremendous power himself.
