“Brock is an excellent athlete and had an unbelievable collegiate career where he simply dominated. I am looking forward to the challenge…. I will be working on my ground game, stand up, and conditioning for this fight. My opponent is an outstanding athlete so I will have to be prepared for anything and everything. It’s MMA. Anything can happen and often times things happen fast so proper preparation is a must.”
Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir shares his thoughts for the first time on the recently announced fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 81 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 2.

frank should win this one i don’t think its a smart 1st fight for brock
I’m a loyal fan of Mir since he submitted Tank in like 20 seconds. Dude’s been through some sh&t, though. I hope he puts it down like the old Mir. A perfect jump to a title contender for him. His BJJ suits him for this particular fight, but he very well could be over muscled. Great fight, anyhow.
1st comment? YESSSSSSSSSS
NOOOOOOOOOOO
This would be a good fight for Mir to win. As long as he comes into the fight in great shape (pre-bike crash) form, he should do well.
Hopefully Mir takes this fight seriously.
this is a good fight for both, regardless of experience.. more importantly it’s a great fight for the fans..
The heavyweight division needs more excitement and this fight will go a long way towards reestablishing this division after the loss of Randy “Take the title home and destroy its prestige” Couture. I personally cant wait for Mir to try a triangle and get the old “multiple powerbomb into F-5″ combo knockout. And NEVER forget that Brock beat Hogan clean with a bearhug. If Hulkamania cant stand the force of Lesnar, NO ONE CAN!
Plus, anyone that big who can do this is a scary athlete.

Brock wins by knock stoppage in the first round
I meant brock wins by stoppage in the first round.
[quote comment="205238"]frank should win this one i don’t think its a smart 1st fight for brock[/quote]
i see mir submitting him, brock getting steroid rage and punching and crippling mir after the fight is over…
This looks like a lesnar win 1st round. You know lesnar will get the take down… It’s just a matter of not getting caught in a triangle or arm bar. I hope brock is carefull on the ground and takes this one out.
I have been a big and loyal fan to Frank Mir for a long time. I think this is a big challenge for Mir, because he might gas if Lesnar is on top of him, and Mir will challenege for submissions non-stop, and Lesnar might come in tip-top shape because he knows what lies ahead.
I think in all honesty, if Lesnar wins in Dominating fashion, I could see Dana giving Brock a title shot. I don’t agree with it, but since Brock is the most hyped heavyweight right now, its not that insane to think Brock could be a title shot contendee after this fight.
I think this is a great selling perspective for the ufc. If Brock wins they can gain a large influx of pro wrestling fans. If Brock looses they can advertise the real deal of true mma athletes and that nobody not even a pro wrestler can just come in here and get the job done.
I think Brock’s going to upset the ex-champ. I can already see the hanging mouths of disbelief right now.

you need to go back to watching wwf to see him win.
Lesnar’s biggest challenge will be the post fight steroid test. His second challenge will be trying to figure out how Mir submitted him and what to do about it next time.
hahahaaaaaa that flip thing on youtube is pretty sick actually.
Brock is going to crush Mir.

Please stop comparing staged wrestling to real hand-to-hand combat competition. We’re all drinking ale while you’re preaching about a bottle of O’Douls
Mir by Shoulderlock in 1st rd.
Im glad they didnt give him a smaller HW , Mir is big and strong and as long as hes in good shape I think he will win by armbar or triangle.. I dont doubt brock can get it too the ground but I think once he does he will mess up and Mir will capitalize and put him away fast.
I love watching Mir fight , great bjj.
Anyone that is a long time MMA fan is really hoping for Mir to return to his pre-accident form. Mir’s submissions are third prolly to Penn and Nog… Guy is a maniac.
Wow, I can’t believe this fight, i thought that the UFC would give Lesnar a walk-through fight. Gotta give this one to Mir though.
Im not buy in to the Lesner hype, i say Mir wins by 1st round submission, he looked great in his last fight i think the old Frank mir is almost 100% back.

I also think Lesner has a glassjaw, remeber his football days.
If Lesnar can get a hold of a chair right outside a cage and beat Mir with that he has a pretty good shot. If he jumps off the cage and suflexes him…he can also be real dangerous. Camel clutch, figure four..
Mir takes this one because unlike the WWF crap, the UFC does drug test. Sorry Lesner….1 fight – 1 yr suspension.

Lol…again, you wrestling types are cracking me up.
I can’t wait to see the betting lines on this fight. I see major coin in my future.
If Lesnar does win, will he rip the microphone from Joe Rogaine, start pacing and yelling how he is gonna rule the HW division?
mir by submission
I think the only way Mir is going to pull this one out is if he decks Lesnar right in the face. He is not going to out wrestle him, he definitely not going to out muscle him, and Lesnar is going to be very prepared for Mir’s submissions, so I doubt he will get submitted. Mir’s only option now is just to beat his face in and maybe wear him down with kicks. Lesnar wins this via GnP
LMAO @ all the guys taking MyQuit seriously….

If this isnt proof that Brock can withstand being seriously concussed than I don’t know what is. I doubt Mir can hit with the force a 250lb man jumping 8 feet in the air and landing on his face on a piece of plywood.

If Brock climbs the cage (without holding it,cause thats against the rules) and hits the “BROCK STAR PRESS”, Mir wont be able to get up and Big John will count the 1-2-3. And just because i’m a preacher who drinks non alcoholic beer doesnt invalidate my opinion.
the cover of smackdown vs. raw (ps2 game) vs ex uf champ
Does anyone know what they are gonna call him for a nickname, since it seems EVERY SINGLE fighter that goes into UFC has to have one…I vote for Brock “THE VANILLA GORILLA” Lesnar. I think i stole it from Taz, but fuck it, it’s pretty fitting.
yessss, i cant wait till the ultimate warrior vs tito ortiz at ufc 83

How about “The Behemoth” Brock Lesnar?
Remember guys,Brock lesnar is an elite Pro Wrestler,a top “A”.The MMA world has never seen someone like Brock lesnar before.Take for example Josh Barnett another Pro Wrestler who is doing pretty well in mma,he has already beaten almost the best that MMA has to offer and is now even calling out Fedor.Btw,Josh Barnett is just an “average” Pro Wrestler category “B”,Brock will destroy him.
Brock lesnar destroy Frank Mir Round 1 via brutal strike or submission.

Grand Master: “Conan, what are the greatest things in life.”
Conan: (Remember ARnold’s accent) “To see your enemies crushed before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.”
I know what your thinking…Arnold forgot something…something that should have been on his list of greatest things, a Kimura by Fedor.
All I have to say is Fedor v. Randleman, if Kevin Randleman had to do that over again, I bet he would have done something different.
I heard God came done and told Randleman he would have to suffer a biblical plague. God gave Randleman 2 choices…
1. Become seriously infection with a antibiotic resistant strain of a flesh eating staph bacteria infection, that will chew its way so deep into your armpit that when the pictures show up on the internet people will vomit into their mouth a little bit, but swallow it and not tell anybody because they were too embarassed to admit that they puked and then swallowed….
OR,
2. Suffer another kimura by Fedor.
Randleman chose the former.
Yes, I’ve been drinking.

I think it’s both the worst analogy ever and the funniest thing i’ve read on the interweb. Nine Duce, you are my hero indeed..(cue the Meat Loaf song)
When I see that pic of Mir, the first thing that comes to mind is the same facial expression by Jean Claude Van Damme, or should I say Frank Dux, in Bloodsport. C’mon Mir, fight through it, even with that white powder in your eyes.

haha, i also remember that, thats funny.. but i liked watching vandamme b4, especially when he uses his favorite move (grab enemy’s right arm,then palm attack to the body) =D hehehe
Lets go Mir. I hope Mir comes back and is a real contendar again, I wanna see him hold the title. If the old Mir comes back I don’t think that’s that crazy.
Brock Lesnar win via anything, hopefully a slam
wahhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FRANK MIR IS THE MAN !

Josh Barnett is an awesome submission fighter, unlike Brock. Josh would have Brock tapping as fast as Mir will.
This is all promotional work from Dana White. He sees that Brock attracts interest and is a big name but probably wont be able to live up to the hype in MMA. This is all just to guarantee a big ppv ratings which mean more money for him. Mir will win, hes too experienced and has many threats for Brock. Brocks only chance is to try and ground and pound Mir. After a few fights Brock will be forgotten in UFC. Having said that ill still order it.
[quote post="3805"]1 word- “Marketable[/quote]
Exatcly the word i was looking for
I cant wait for Mir to beat him in mmmmmmmm maybe lets say 60 seconds, via “MMA”, also after the Mir win he should finally get that fight with Arlovski we have never seen it becuz of all the drama and stuff in the past it would be an awesome fight specially with Mir coming off of a win over the most talented wrestler in the world with devastating knockout power and killer submissions, and a (1-0) record to back all that up.
lol i maid myself laugh after reading my post
You guys dont realize how strong Brock is… I would be surprised if there is anyone in the UFC who could get theis guys titanic of an arm in any kind of submission and keep it there with out getting slammed or beating brutally.

did you ever watch bob sapp fight, i would compare brocks size to him, brock being a better wrestler and sapp better hands but compareable. sapp did good and brock will beet some but not the best at this stage and mir should be to good for him.

Min Soo Kim lost more fights than he’s won, and the few he’s won are against no name clowns like Yoshihisa Yamamoto who is 7-17!

Min Soo Kim was a gift to set Lesnar up as marketable for the UFC.
Brock is so strong:

I dunno, he’s a good wrestler but I want to see if he has any other tools. Mir will not be as easy to pass as this guy was.

dude if thats the case then Hughes should of destroyed GSP, or Gonzaga killed Couture, c’mon your probably a wrestling fan that just started watching mma and is a huge fan of Lesnar, strenght is a factor but, not everything. you need striking skills(boxing, kick boxing, muay thai), BJJ, Judo, etc… Lesnar will get submitted if not knoced out hopefully both some how myb triagle. then they will face him up against myb, eddi sanchez or brad imes and they could both easily beat Lesnar
[quote comment="205350"]man…i have NO IDEA! I like both these guys a lot…much respect…but i really have no clue.[/quote]
Yeah me too. No idea. Mir back in the day was badass. Lesnar might be the physically strongest mma fighter ever. Well Bob Sapp not included.
Brock is a farm boy like Hughes. He’s been built since at least college: http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/2000/feb/02-23-2000/sports/photos/brock1jpg.gif
I doubt that he was training for looks while competing in the NCAA. Unlike new pro wrestling idol John Cena, Brock is a real athlete. He almost made it to the Minny Vikings as a walk-on. The coach said he’s an NFL-calibre athlete, but he needed to learn more details about the game.
Here’s the video of Brock training: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTczMKtmvdQ
Brock does a lot of caveman stuff.
I hope Mir watches himself in there and doesn’t get seriously hurt. Since the comeback he has been as cool as a cucumber, a little too cool I think, he was so calm and composed against vera he just watched the knee fly up to his head. He needs to be cautious right from the get go and try for submisions. I’m a fan of both these guys. If Mir brings intensity this could be a good fight. If he stands there like he did against vera I think it will bee 1st rnd ko. Can’t wait to see it though, there’s not that many good HW fights at the mo…

haha
I love how everyone is posting vids of Lesnar in fake wrestling matches but nobody is posting vids of Mir in real MMA fights. Unlike WWE, that was actually a 265 lb. man’s arm getting snapped in the Tim Sylvia fight, and that was Pete Williams actually screaming in pain and tapping out from the shoulder lock Mir put on him. If anyone thinks Lesnar’s arms are “too big and strong” for Mir to submit him with an armbar you are insane. That’s 250 lbs. of Mir using all his strength of his entire upper body pulling on one joint. Not saying you can’t pull out of an armbar, but if you get rolled over, then goodnight, no matter who you are. Lesnar better be training jiu-jitsu like mad, because the only way to get comfortable with all the transitions that take place is repetition.
Mir last fight suck.But just by looking Mir skill,all i can say is that he’s skill really suck,and Brock Lesnar will simply walk through him and crush him Round 1 via brutal strike.
Definitely, Brock Lesnar is going to crush poor Mir Round 1 KTFO.
man brock is going to win this by stand up. Then he’s going to finish by ground and pound. watch!!!!
He’s going to intimidate the shit out of mir!!!!
yep, Brock win that one,look like UFC don’t know who Brock Lesnar is……Round 1 30 seconds or less KTFO.
Bas Rutten called Lesnar “the most gifted athlete” he has ever worked with. He says Brock is coming along at breakneck pace, his work ethic is second to none and he learns extremely fast. I am not convinced he will beat Mir but I guarantee a better fight than most of you are expecting. Mir may well be past his prime. Brock could very well be the future of the HW division. my prediction is ether Mir by submission or Lesnar with the lay and pray.
Lesnar completely tool Tim Sylvia during his stay at Pat Miletich camp.Just wait,relax and see Brock Lesnar destroying everyone in mma.
Man the pressure on the guys. Brock coming in with all th hoopla, big time name, Mir doesn’t have the recognition in mainstream but well respected in mma circles, this was the future of the heavies in UFC, a big guy with BJJ when no one else has that level although Gonzaga now does and Andrei supposedly as well. For Mir, he was starting to get his roll on somewhat, but to be the first guy to be “fed” to Brock…I don’t know, I guess that’s what’s good about boxing, if you’re elite talent, and Lesnar certainly is that, you take your time to build up properly and not be fed to such an experienced guy, those who have followed Brock’s “career” know this guy is ultra confident, bordering on “cocky” and it wouldn’t surprise me that he’s wanting the “shortcut” to mma fame without fighting guys he doesn’t think are the athletes he is. A good beatdown is in order for him, this fight reminds me of Mir v Tank, tank came out raging, full on attack mode, only to get submitted in a about less than a minute. Long term: would not be surprised to see Brock hold heayweight gold.
