So do you think he will succeed? I'm not so sure,I think his stand up looks absolutely horrendously bad from what I've seen but his wrestling is obviously good. Mir could be abad style match up though. We'll see,although good wrestler or not,it's quite difficult imagining this former fake wrestling guy to succeed in the brutal world of MMA.
Nice guy and I'm sure he is working hard, but I'm rooting against him. For those of us who want MMA to be a legitamate mainstream sport it kind of cheapens it a bit if a former Professional Wrestler can be successful. If Mir comes in top shape he should win this. If not Brock will most likely just grind him out with GnP
Mir's said he's pretty pissed that Lesnar would ask for him as a first fight. He's in bad shape sometimes, but his BJJ is sick. I think Mir will be motivated enough to come in decent shape and slap an armbar on him. Plus I've always like Frankie. Mir submits Lesnar round 2. =-)
I so hope you are right Nate bro! Mir is a cool dude.Quote:

I don't see him doing well as cheapening the sport though as the wrestling he does, although choreographed still takes tremendous skill and technique, plus he was a 4 time champion collegiate wrestler if I'm not mistaken.
Let's just hope his debut is better than Johnnie Mortons :-X

Mir is a fukin asshole and he looks like a walking penis!Quote:

Ken Shamrock was in the WWE, did he cheapen MMA?Quote:

No way. Abbot is a joke. He has NO cardio, NO groundgame, NO respect for the sport and is a chronic loser. The man NEVER wins a fight anymore. It's pathetic. Last time I watched him fight that fat bastard beat the hell outta this English guy with a 1-1 record, then gassed after bout a minute and a half and had to tap out.Quote:

Lesnar looks huge, as always. But Mir looks in better shape than he's ever been! I hope he comes in pre-accident form. This should be a fun fight to watch!! El Gamo I think he can take this I really do. WAR Mir!
They don't have steroid testing in these fights?
lol. They do, but not till after the fights.Quote:

I'm with you Nate,I'm going for Mir to win,and I really hope he does. If anyone has seen Lesnar's 1 MMA fight,it was horrible,becasue his stand up is non existent. Nate bro,you need to post more of those 2 HOT women in the back! Dam! :o
