Who do you think is taking this one? my money is on Lesner this time

IRON37 · Mar 3, 2009

Well, I my be biased because i cant stand lesnar lol. But it seems like Mir is finally getting his act together. And I wasnt too impressed with brocks fight against Randy. But who knows what will actually go down..its retarded that he got a title shot from only having a 2-1 mma record.

DAMN!

MIR!?! We have some definite Lesnar haters here lol. I like the dude, he seems like a stand up guy. I'm going with Lesnar here. But I will agree with IRON on the fact he shouldn't have gotten a title shot that early, but Dana White is a business man, it was all for marketing....lose lose fight for Dana.

I can't wait to see the card for UFC 100, I'm hearing some pretty crazy things. Like title fights in EVERY class!!!

I'd like to see Mir take it but Brock is too damn overwhelming and strong (which sucks when strength gets you a win over technique in this sport). I don't see Brock getting got in any kneebars or heel hooks this time around. He got beat plain and simple because he was wrestling and left that leg out. I'm sure he's learned to avoid simple mistakes like that at this point. I'd like to know mirs gameplan, whether he wants to try and stand and bang with him. keep it on the feet for awhile, through some leg kicks to weaken brocks takedown attempts, that kinda thing. I DON'T want to see brock with the belt much longer, that's for damn sure!

Should be a very good fight, could go eitherway, I'm pulling for Mir

WR66215 · Mar 3, 2009

honestly, although Mir is a better technical fighter.....I don't think he has a chance. I hope I'm wrong, but Brock is a man among boys out there.

Hungry Hungarian · Mar 3, 2009

Lesnar is a BEAST. As much as I am taking a liking to the 'new' Frank Mir I just dont think he is going to be able to pull off an out of the blue ankle lock again. Lesnar by tko in the 2nd.

kpumpin · Mar 3, 2009

I can understand the problem that people have with Lesnar getting a title shot after being 2-1, but thats the reality in the heavyweight division. Its been very thin for a while. Couture won the title after being 1-2 in his previous three fights and losing the fight directly before the title bout.

The funny thing is that we shouldnt even be discussing Brock in the same sentence as these highly experienced MMA fighters, but we are. That's the scary part.

Mir

Although I like Lesnar cause he's fun to watch, I think Mir's grappling is too advanced. Have a feeling it's gonna be like the first one... just last longer

elings · Mar 3, 2009

IM GOING FOR BROCK. I THINK LESNER HAS IMPROVED GREATLY AND IS TOO FAST AND STRONG FOR MIR.

rafiki · Mar 3, 2009

brute strength can only go so far...without talent

marshallmadman · Mar 4, 2009

Without talent??? WTF! Lesnar is one of the most talented guys to ever step into the octagon as a heavyweight. Sorry bro. That's just the way it is. He is also one of the hardest training guys in MMA, if not THE hardest training guy in MMA.

The great thing about the sport is that there is always a chance that anyone can beat anybody at any time (generally speaking). Mir will tell you that he got extremely lucky in the first fight. I don't know...I'm gonna say Lesnar, and the fight will have to be stopped because of cuts.

Golgo13 · Mar 4, 2009

Brock has been busting his ass to be a great fighter. Each fight he makes huge leaps in fighting talent. I think he will edge Mir out.

Bio · Mar 4, 2009

Mir all the way.

BigBoomer18 · Mar 4, 2009

Mir is one of the most cocky and arrogant fighters in ufc. i hope lesnar busts his ass preparing for this fight (like he has been doing) and just crushes mir and his faggy hair.

you think mir's grappling is too advanced? brock was 106-5 in his collegiate career and held the record for best college record at one time....since then he's only gotten bigger faster and stronger. how is it that frank mir is going to out grapple lesnar?

marshallmadman · Mar 4, 2009

Well said, sir. Especially the faggy hair part.
