Tomorrow night, UFC 81...I can't wait, it's Brock Lesnar's first UFC fight, he's taking on Frank Mir. I've never seen Mir fight, but just watching the interviews Lesnar seems filled with genuine boundless confidence, and Mir seems like he's just talking trash....I have a lot of faith in Lesnar, not out of any pro-wrestling fantasy affirmation, I think he's gonna dominate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i7un6vbqg4 |

Wow, Lesnar was a ravaging monster and suddenly BAM kneebar, tap tap tap. Mir beat him. Brock needs to learn to control his power....you can't just power straight through bjj...I'm a little disappointed, but oh well. He'll be dangerous after he gets some more experience.

He was definitely a good wrestler (no shock there), but I was so glad to see Mir win. Right now Lesner's at about the fighting level of a Bob Sapp, but he's a hard worker with marketing value, so I'm sure he'll have a long career with a belt in the future. I wonder who they'll put against him next? A nobody he can earn a win against? A monster striker like Brandon Vera?

Vera would be interesting to see..But it's like...anyone at Brock's skill level probably couldn't handle his insane explosiveness and athleticism, but anyone who could handle it way outmatches him in technical skill.
I think Vera would own him if he could utilize a strong guard position. I mean that's the only place I can see that fight going if Brock maintains his "LESNAR SMASH" mentality and goes immediately for the takedown again. Or Vera could surprise him with a high kick that he runs directly into in the first 3 seconds..haha that would be funny.
