Craig Edwards Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I can see Lesnar winning this fight if he doesn't get into a bad submission, He has to been the fastest and strongest Heavyweight in the UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomnipotent Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My friend Zach says that UFC 81 is going to be in my neck of the woods. Like, really close. To the point that one of my customers at my old job works at the arena it's being held. It's gonna be mad wicked awesome cool. EDIT: Blargh. Nevermind.

still71 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Frank Mir has never been the same fighter since his accident a few years ago. This is basically UFC feeding Lesnar a paper opponent with the billing of "Former Heavyweight Champ". That being said, I'd love to see Mir knock Brock's butt out!!!

You feed Brock a guy with little to no success you take the gamble of the crossover audience not caring. You use a guy like this Mir, who cares in the new base that he's a paper tiger now? Suppose you're new to it all and coming in to this event just to see Brock. He manages to hang with the a guy who was once champion. Maybe that gives you the interest to see more of Lesnar's fights and see enough events to gradually get into the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
