Gerritt Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I was waiting for this post..... He is a NATIONAL champion wrestler. The real deal. Yes he paid his bills being in the WWE/WWF This man is a serious threat in the Heavy Weight class... Wrestlers have traditionally done well in MMA... Mir is about to get his big mouth shutup G.

bassmaster4 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Lesnar is a joke sure he can dish out some major @$$ kickings but he goes from WWE to Pro Football to UFC who knows whats next after he gets bored of the UFC. P.S for those who like him please take no offence i just said my opinion. Edited February 1, 2008 by bassmaster4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm rooting for Mir. Mir has good submission skills for a heavyweight. Let's not forget he was the heavyweight champ after he broke 6'8" gaint Tim's forearm. If Mir's conditioning is good he should be able to pull off a submission win over inexperience Lesnar.

Riparian Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Im not refering to his wrestling skills. Your right, wrestlers do well in the MMA. Just look at Kevin Randleman. What I hate seeing is the scripted drama that you see between fighters, like Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhook Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 LOL @ Mir not trash talking... I hope Brock Wins, Mir has been really unimpressive in his last few fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glirw Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Neither of these guys is known for their endurance, so they will probably both get fatigued before the fight ends, which will make for a somewhat borefest. I expect Brock to catch Mir with a punch and take him down, where he will control the fight until he gets caught in a submission. I don't think he is as good at avoiding submissions as Mir is at applying them, then again Mir might be able to catch Brock with a sloppy punch or something.

Deano Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Not really sure how it's gonna play out, but I really wanna see this fight, should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Too bad Gracie wasnt in his prime.....nothing funnier then seeing a 400 pound roid monster pound on a little guy for 5 minutes then start crying like a baby and tapping out. UFC used to be so much better. Now everyone fights with the exact style...all very good fighters but not as intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesn Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My prediction is Brock by GnP. First off, you can't choke him out because he wasn't born with a neck. lol You might be able to arm bar him. I think he might especially be susceptible to ankle and knee bars. But the guy is a freak, he will be CUTTING to the 265 weight limit, and not a whole lot of that is fat... He has a high pain threshold since most pro rasslers have a ridiculous pain threshold to be able to put on a good show. The tomato can he beat up was an Olympic silver medalist in Judo. He was ridiculously overmatched and succumbed to hammer fists from the half-guard I think. I think it was just from being overwhelmed by a physical specimen like no other. Not sure if you guys saw the latest quip from Hendo, but he pretty much revealed why the Pride FC guys are getting smoked in fights in jurisdictions with steroid testing. They don't test over there so why not use them? It does explain a lot. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My prediction is Brock by GnP. First off, you can't choke him out because he wasn't born with a neck. lol No neck,thats for sure. Rules or rounds for UFC??? It should be just rounds if anything. ULTIMATE FIGHTING. NO RULES. Too bad Gracie wasnt in his prime Gracie was an AWESOME fighter,but Im sure if one got a good shot at that chin,LIGHTS OUT. Neither of these guys is known for their endurance, so they will probably both get fatigued before the fight ends, which will make for a somewhat borefest. I expect Brock to catch Mir with a punch and take him down, where he will control the fight until he gets caught in a submission. I don't think he is as good at avoiding submissions as Mir is at applying them, then again Mir might be able to catch Brock with a sloppy punch or something. griwl,you hit it,but IMO,if Brook hits him,it,s over.No chance for submission. Just a side note,I think Mirko Cro Cop and Brook would be a better fight. Two monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
