Breaking down Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar
As everyone out in the MMA Blogosphere is saying it all depends on what Frank Mir shows up blah blah blah. It's true, but it's really not worth repeating over and over again. The thing with Mir is that he's a very intelligent fighter, that's never been the question but whether or not he shows up in shape. Frank screamed that he was back after pulling off that kimura against Antoni Hardonk but beating Hardonk on the ground hardly validates that he's back.
Brock Lesnar is a complete variable though. He's 1-0 in MMA period, no amatuer fights, just one MMA fight. It's hard to tell where he's at by his his first fight as he beat said korean can from half guard.
What we do know:
Brock is one hell of an amatuer wrestler and wrestlers have had success in MMA.
He looks to pass guard; this is something that seems to be neglected a lot in MMA but look for Brock to pass Mir's guard if he can't pull off a quick submission.
He's got good power in his hands on the ground; expect Mir to take damage
We can't really tell alot by his stand up as he was only on his feet for a few moments, but it didn't looks completely fluent; I wouldn't expect this fight to take place standing for to long.
Frank Mir is good from his back but if he doesn't pull off a quick submission I don't know if he has the testicles to take to many Brock Lesnar gorilla punches to the face.
