If your
Jiu-Jitsu sucks
Mir will beat you, he's beaten a who's who and people with no ground game. Problem is his cardio is awful.
Lesnar is a monster he's just green as hell. I think what has annoyed people is
Lesnar only showed what everyone already knew he had, we knew he'd have hellacious power and wrestling. His inexperience cost him, he hit
Mir,
3 TIMES in the back of the head, it's common sense on the ground to defend like
Mir did it's like when Guys with good
Jiu-Jitsu gives their backs, because they know they can defend a choke and the guy can't him them in the back of the head. Biggest issue with
Lesnar was he really did seem clueless with the submissions for someone who has been training for
"2 Years". He seemed to have the mentality that his power would win out and it didn't matter. Don't forget before the submission he'd gifted his arm twice, like
Mir said though, look at the size of those fucking arms
Lesnar has all the tools to be great though. It's kind of like in wrestling somebody being rushed up to the main roster and they have the potential but they just ain't ready. He'd of been better fighting for a while outside of the
UFC getting experience. He'd totally own the entire of somewhere like
Elite XC. What works in his favour is the
UFC Heavyweight Division is Horrendously bad. As for the claims he could beat
Tim Sylvia, I don't know. What are we judging him off, this 1 minute 30 fight and his previous few second battle, he could have a questionable chin and if he does
Sylvia will beat him no doubt. You'd think he'd be fine with
Heavyweights like
Kongo and
Herring, but if he faced
Big Nog,
Werdum or
Gonzaga, on the ground it'd be same old story, they would submit him, I'm guessing
UFC will get someone like
Brad Imes for him next. Word was
Werdum would get the next
Title Shot and I think now
Mir has won this sets him up for his long awaited rematch with
Sylvia, and I hope for the same result.
This is the
UFC thread though we can't forget the rest of the card.
Nog just went to show, as always he can take a licking and keep on ticking,
Sylvia suffered like
Lesnar from being awful on the ground, there's a reason this is called
Mixed Martial Arts (On a side note, after all the negativity towards
PRIDE fighters, there are now 3 former fighters as Champions). I was gutted by the result, I hate
Sylvia but I'd put ?60 on him. It wasn't a total bust thoughh cos I put ?10 on
Mir Ricardo Almedia looked impressive in his comeback, I was super impressed that he held onto that Gullotine after the dude flipped over like that.
David Heath got
P'Wnd. It looked sick when he tossed into the fence, it should of been stopped straight away.
Marquadt really highlighted what a shit body
Horn has,
Horn looks so weak, his
Jiu-Jitsu is still superb though, That
Go-Go Plata attempt was beautiful.
Tyson Griffin had most boring fight on the night, quite a change around.
Overall superb card!
