    I think Mir wins again. People can talk all they want about how Brock is working with a BJJ world champion, but unless you're a blue belt in BJJ skill-wise, you don't even have a prayer against defending a black belt's submissions.(And no, I'm not saying that every blue belt can even do it. It's just the minimum starting point.)

    Can Mir get Brock into those submission moves?

    Lesnar is a huge dude - he's not gonna be easy to get to the mat and work over. And being within arms reach of him is always gonna be dangerous cause he's so powerful and his wrestling skills are so good he could end up countering your submission into one of his own.

    People forget "fake" pro wrestlers spend a lot of time working through matches, coming up with different counters to holds so that it looks new and/or cool. Lesnar's experience in pro wrestling certainly helps him in MMA.

    Mir already tapped him once. The thing is, you can't defend submissions until you learn how to do them first. Brock has to get to at least a blue belt level in brazilian jiu jitsu before he has a chance at stopping the submissions of a world class submission artist like Mir. Lesnar beat Couture because he was so much bigger and stronger than him and they both had wrestling as their strength. Mir is technically better than Lesnar at everything except for wrestling. And he's not a small guy either. Sorry, in the UFC strength doesn't mean shit unless you're way bigger than the other guy. (Lesnar outweighs Couture by a good 50 pounds. He prob outweighs Mir by 10 or 15 max.

    How many fights did Lesnar fight before Mir made him tap?

    How did the fight go down (who dominated before the tap)?

    How much have both improved since?

    Lesnar took him down and spazzed while trying to finish. I'd say Mir's improvements are far greater than Lesnar's. He's developed his boxing a little bit and focused really hard on his wrestling and his power. Mir worked on his Boxing, Muay Thai, and even his BJJ(with Demian Maia). Unless Lesnar becomes more than a freakishly strong wrestler with marginal boxing, I don't see how he wins.

    I think Lesnar gets him this time. He lost his focus the first time and he's pissed. No way he lets Mir get him again. Way too powerful and knows better than letting a guy get his leg like that.

    St. Pierre will be the real show tomorrow night. Dude is sick.

    By the way, Lesnar needs to be reminded that although he's huge and looks like the reincarnation of Brian Bosworth, it's never cool to get a penis sword tattooed all over your chest.

    Joe Rogan said it best about him. If he had been born hundreds of years ago he would have been the dude on the biggest horse with the biggest sword leading psycho warriors into battle and dominating them. He was born to destroy people.
    We had subs. It was crazy.

    So, me thinks, Vince McMahon had a bigger penis than Lesnar?

    quite the opposite. The bigger you are, the more susceptible you are to Brazilian Jujitsu(which is what Mir is a black belt in). Brock comes out wild throwing his weight around, and he'll fuck up. If he fights a smart fight, he wins.
