Lesner’s a big strong guy no doubt. Regardless of minotaros performance mirs striking looked crisp and we all know he’s good on the ground. He tapped lesner with ease mazagotti didn’t have to step in, as far as “tugboat’s” fight with couture please couture wasn’t in top shape for his age and still managed to press “hogan” against the cage a couple times. Lesrner used his girth and strength to get randy in an awkward position where he couldn’t defend himself intelligently. The heavy weight division isn’t stacked at all but to give “rick rude” an undeserved title shot is gay, mir all the way.

If you think Mazzagati standing up Brock and Mir the first time around was a bad call then your a moron. Lesnar clearly was striking Mir in the back of the head repeatedly and showed no sign of stopping, or even worse, that what he was doing was against the rules.

Typically you would see a verbal warning from a ref and then a stand up but IMO Mazzagati made the right decision standing them up immediately due to Brocks complete disregard of the rules that are there to make sure both fighters survive the fight. Brock didn’t know what he was doing and was endangering the life of another fighter.

Brock has nobody to blame for that but himself. Had he a little more experience I don’t think he would have continued to land punches in the back of the head but would have held his punches and made sure to land them legally. I would doubt we will ever see Brock making that mistake again.

I feel brock learned from his mistake against his first match with mir and is hungry to avenge his loss. Especially now that mir is seriously calling him out. Lesnar is a confident dude and a smart dude who knows his strengths and his weaknesses, and i think he will surprise everyone and take mir down, control him, and pound him out like he did the first fight before mazzagati stood them up(which was BS if you ask me). But it’s hard to predict a winner. I want to see brock win so kongo can get a shot @ him.

Im rooting for Lesnar in this one. I wasnt too impressed with the way Mir fought agaisnt Nog. Sure Mir did well with his striking but then again, look who he was fighting. Nog looked stale in that fight. He just wasnt there. We have a saying here that “A Race Horse looks fast goin past trees, but put him infront of other Race Horses and its just another Horse”. Mir looked great fighting someone who I thought looked 50 years old in that fight.
Sure you will get people saying that Mir never let Nog into the fight and that is a testiment to how well he did. But look at it on the other hand, Nog let Mir run all over him, Nog kept Mir in the fight by turing into a slow human punch bag.

I have no clue who will win and im not gonna predict either. But it is sooo easy for people to predict a sub from Mir and the same goes for predicting a KO from Brocks right hand.

I dont think Mir’s new found striking talents will do him any favours agaisnt Brock though. Remember the first fight? Lesnar dropped Mir with a half-assed jab for goodness sake. I would love to see Mir take a proper shot.

You do mean 5 rounds, right? You know, that whole championship thing? Kind of negates your points when you don’t even know how long a fight is. Go back to fighterbashing.com

I liked Mir a lot more before I saw him on the show, KOS I have to admit has grown on me a little, and Tito not so much…

I think what I get out of these posts is this is going to be an intersting fight. Mir’s striking has changed my thoughts a bit, but its still hard to give him the win in the end…
