    Lesnar TKO, possible decision.

    You think Mir has the cardio to do 5 rounds?

    Can't see it going to the decision imo.

    Mir can win, but if Brock gets a few of those hard knocks in, it could go to him in a split second. If it does go to the decision though I can see it being verrrrrrrrrrrry close.

    Mir all the way!

    Hence the "possible decision". Be surprised to see him go the 5, especially with the mass he seems to have added. I think it just comes down to how attacking Lesnar wants to be.

    Not to mention the mass which will be all over him in Brock. :pac:

    Brock isnt going to approach this fight the same way he did with Heath trust me.

    Brock will win it via TKO imo.

    Completely agree, but Mir can be very technical and Lesnar can get worn down fast and I wouldn't be surprised if Lesnar gets docked tons of points in his attempts of countering Mir.

    Did you guys see the weigh ins? Frank Mir looks in the best condition i've ever seen him.

    My heart says Mir but my head says Lesnar.

    Man i hate Lesnar. You can't deny his ability but he's an ass

    Got a link to that?

    He's in some shape but I'd be surprised if he could get his cardio up to scratch while putting that mass on?

    He's just using what he learned in pro wrestling. He knows how to sell PPVs.

    I'm sure Brock Lesnar is nothing like The Next Big Thing, The Baddest Man on the Planet, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar!

    I can agree with you about Lesnar being an ass, but I still think Mir is the all round athlete here and that Lesnar was overrated in WWE and it has carried over.

    MMA has a lot of factors from boxing to BJJ and Lesnar just can't repel everything that Mir throws at him and I can see Mir being the better one here.

    I think the Brock Lesnar who disrespected Herring and Couture after his fights is the closest to the real Lesnar you will see.

    And you are basing this on what exactly? Salesmanship on a Countdown special. Mir was hardly the choir boy either.

    What does this even mean? It is a subjective fake sport.

    How did he disrespect Randy?

    Herring and his corner were dicks before and during the fight.

    Yeah, he looks like he's been doing a lot of strength and conditioning. And despite this, there's 20lbs (1 stone) difference in them too! :eek:

    I'm not Lesnar's biggest fan either, but his strength is scary and his wrestling skills are top-notch. I like Mir though, he has a different attitude to Lesnar. His submission skills are excellent and I'd like to see him win by submission again, but Lesnar will be wary of that aspect (unlike the last time)!

    Fedor, I'm afraid. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Can't say I noticed any dissing after the Randy match.

    What did Brock weight in at and what's the limit?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,976 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    It's also what Joe Rogan was calling him in his first few UFC fights.

    He may have said Baddest Dude on the Planet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,115 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    Lesnar by decision, hope that Mir knocks him out though :pac:

    265lbs is the limit. Lesnar was right on the button.

    Yeah, he won a fan's accolade or something, right? I was just saying that because of the documentary on Fedor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭OMCCABE


    I take Mir by TKO.

    Was thinkin that if Lesnar was at the limit he'll probably go into the fight with an even bigger weight advantage.

    Naw, no one said anything of the sort. However, at present he is ranked as the number one heavyweight by various MMA analysts and indeed other fighters. He probably won't cement that legacy until he fights in the UFC though.

    "And you are basing this on what exactly? Salesmanship on a Countdown special. Mir was hardly the choir boy either."

    Lesnar is all talk and not as much action. He disrespects his opponents and has a horrible problem losing


    "Not the NCAA Champion :eek:"

    Lesnars weight will be an advantage but also a disadvantage. He'll get tired early and that's when Mir will strike the kill. Its simple body science. I also think Mir has a biggers arsenal to wearing his opponents down.


    "What does this even mean? It is a subjective fake sport."

    Yes, and WWE dubbed him as The Next Big Thing. I'm no fan of WWE but I was back then and it was simply ridiculus. The matches he fought made him out to be an all out monster. When he was first announced his UFC debut a lot of old WWE fans were saying "Ohhh did you see what he did to Goldberg".

    It was scripted and not only did ill-informed fans think he was the greatest, he thought that himself.

    I can see the fight being delayed because it will take about ten minutes for the referee to fit Lesnars ego into the octagon :D

    Lesnar's cardio won't be a problem. Or at least I'll be very surprised if it is.

    It was WWE. And really, what fans who knew anything about MMA brought his matches with Goldberg into it other than in an extremely tongue-in-cheek manner?

    Bet that doesn't happen.
