Lesnar vs Mir UFC 81

[Guest carlito is cool]

Brock Lesnar is set to face former world champ Frank Mir at UFC 81 in Feburary. Mir has never been the same since his motorbike accident a few years back but this is still an extremely risky fight for Brock. Dana is risking having Brock exposed in his very first fight on the contrary if Brock wins Mir is a good name for anyones resume.

judging by how bad Mir looked last time I saw him I don't see much risk at all. That said, if we get the good Mir it's a different story but I really don't expect that to happen. If Brock uses his strengths Mir should start gassing after about 30 seconds and it'll be an easy win.

 

Dana's already proven that he has no quarms about exposing some of the big names in favour of putting out great, exciting fights, as most of the Pride guys that have come over have already looked like numpty's having their asses handed to them and losing major credibility.

Brock will destroy Mir, but not easily.

[The Fury 65]

This will be interesting because we all know Mir isnt min soo kim.

 

This'll be tough and close i feel for brock.

It's the old "name value" situation. Similar to when Lewis defeated Mike Tyson, all people will remember is that Lewis beat Tyson, not that Lewis defeated a sub-par past his prime Mike Tyson.

[Paul 584]

Sub par Tyson was still better than most heavyweights of the time in fairness, so it was still an impressive victory, just not as impressive as it would have been a few years before.

[The Fury 65]

I'm hoping for a Lesnar loss, anything to get him back in WWE so there is somebody there I give a sh*t about watching main event.

As for the fight, if it goes futher than the first round than i'm going with Lesnar for sure.

 

If the fight finishes in the first then i'm not so sure.

 

Looking forward to it :)
