He wasn't lucky the first time around, he capitalized on Lesnar's over-excitement. How can you call a submission lucky? lol |

Yeah, Mir should focus on losing to Nog before he focuses on fighting Lesnar again. In the rematch, I have Lesnar winning this, I don't think he would make the same mistakes he did the 1st time.

lenar would win, i know he sonly had 1 more fight since but now brock is much more confident, takes his time more, and would easily KO Mir. and i think brock would have better submission defence now then he did back then
i still stand by my point that in the original fight that if it wasent stopped for the back of the head punches (which was unnessesery to stop it as there were liek 2 back of teh head punches) then brock would have won

I agree that Lesnar would win the rematch. A leg lock is probably the only sub that Lesnar is going to be vulnerable to, anything else and he could just power out. He knows where he screwed up last time and I really don't think he would let it happen again.
Lesnar by TKO round 1.

Lesnar would just not take it to the ground and KO Mir. So Lesnar by KO

You can't power out of a good armbar. Last time someone tried to power out of a tight Mir armbar, Sylvia got his arm snapped. That's kind of the point of submissions and jitz in general. Size and strength don't matter, everyone taps.
I hope Mir wins the whole damn thing!

Obviously he's not going to power out of an armbar once it's locked in. But his speed and strength make it very hard to lock in. Just look at the first fight between these two to see the evidence. |
