Thread: Lesnar to face Frank Mir in his first UFC fight!!!

I'll definitely be watching this! Mir is a former wold champion and for Brock to face him in his first fight in the cage speaks volumes about his belief in his skills(or maybe UFC are feeding him to the lions?!) Either way,this is a must see,a win puts either guy in contention for a title shot!

Wow...thats crazy. Mir has never been the same since his crash but still a very experienced and talented fighter. If Frank is in top shape I'd pick him to win this, but if he comes in looking like he did in last three fights I'd say Brock by 2nd round TKO from GnP

Hey Van,what do they mean when they say Lesnar was a collegiate wrestler or something? Does thta make him really good? I'm surprised you're pricking Brock!

free style wrestling is a pretty big sport in some parts of the US. If I'm not correct Brock was an All American and Collegiate champ. So it means he has a similar background has Matt Hughes, Kevin Randleman, Couture and Coleman. I'm only picking Brock b/c Mir has looked so crappy his last several fights. Mir before his wreck was an awesome spectacle of skill and I think would be able to out "technique" brock, but since his wreck he has never been in good shape or looked the same.

No way they gonna feed him to the lions.... Brock = Dana's opportunity to attract more WWE fans to the UFC.

I didnt see his first fight but I hope Brock kicks Mir's sorry ass. That dude loves to hear his own voice... I couldnt stand him when he was fighting and I was vomiting when he was commentating.

Personally? Ever since Mir had his crash he has been rubbish IMO. Not the same fighter, out of shape and definitely not the fighter who broke sylvias arm.

I think Brock will take this one.

Yeah Lesnar has a great history in Free style Wrestling, but i saw an early training vid and his striking is awful.

if mir gets lucky and avoids brocks takedowns then he has a slight chance to win. BUT brandon vera spanked mir so i doubt if he can be effective against brock.

mir use to be my favorite fighter before the crash but he look slow as hell now disappoiting

i still chose mir

Wouldn't a Lesnar win impress?
