The best part was Mir telling Lesnar you have my belt...

    As other have said this is basically a 50/50 fight with me leaning towards Mir to win by submission yet again. Lesnar is still raw and hasn't quite developed as a fighter, but man he's a genetic freak, so it definitely is an intriguing fight.

    Mir will be fav for this fight, Lesnar`s biggest weakness is Mir`s biggest strength - submissions - & 5 rds is a long time to not get submitted by a BJJ black belt especially if that blackbelts cardio has been sorted out as Mir`s has.

    Mir will sub him again but without getting slap hammed in the face, Mir is good under pressure and always goes for a sub instinctively, Brock does not have stand up to compete with what Mir showed against Minotaur, Mir looked better than he ever did when he was snapping arms and subing people in less than 60 seconds.

    Mir is a loud mouth pricky guy and will most likely win based on his last performance, Lesnar needs a Quantum leap in skill and ability to win, power alone will not Ace years of BJJ.

    I want Mir to win, I think it can go either way.

    And Lesnars best bet is to stay on the feet at least at first, if he is getting consistently outstruck then start looking takedown.

    It was. Brock wasnt even hurt..he tapped before Mir could crank it up, he was smart. If you think prior fight performance applies to Brock.. you are mistaken

    Trippin!! Lesner will take it guarenteed!! He won't make a mistake this time, i heard he got a good camp running him in ju jitsui game and they are saying he has improved big time in that dept.

    Immaterial. The guy left his leg out and got knee barred. Brock isnt and wont be experienced on the mat. If it goes to ground there is a possibility the same will happen again. Either way as iv already said this is an even money fight and i can see a good outcome for both guys. Its all dependent on Brocks sub defense and standup which are huge "what ifs".

    Brock just has to be smarter and more savvy. Brock has the speed and power with both his fists and legs to cause damage. He has the strength to dictate standing or on the ground. He doesn't have the smarts or subs but if he can play it smart and beware of the subs then he can win via intelligence.

    Can't wait. I have no idea what will happen but I'd like to see Mir win once again. It should be damn close.

    It wasn't just a "rookie mistake" or Lesnar "not knowing leglocks", Mir has outstanding submission, especially leglocks.

    Mir especially has a knack for making a sub work without it being applied to where it ideally would be; he had Sylvia's forearm rather than his elbow, and broke the damn thing in half, on Lesnar he had a kneebar that was actually better described as a "shin bar", and if Lesnar hadn't tapped, he would have snapped that as well.
