Lesnar's first UFC opponent announced

[Whoblehwah]

Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir signed for UFC 81. Personally, I think Lesnar may be in a little over his head.......

Brock Lesnar on UFC!!?

I mean, wasn't he like a huge steroid mass? What's he doing there?

I doubt he uses roids. He's kinda like Chuck Liddel now, he has a beer belly, but he's still strong as ****. Go search for his MMA debut to see what I mean. He destoryed some dude.

Yea, I thought it was just some publicity stunt...until I heard he had just ripped some guy apart in a real bout. I'll keep tabs to see whether he really is as good as I'm hearing he is.

Lesnar isn't a fighter, he's a wrestler. This may or may not give him a fighting chance in the UFC. To be honest though, I believe that his first fights are going to be rigged. I really can't see any normal guy(UFC fighter) let Lesnar come in there and start kicking @$$. I will be fun to watch. I wonder what he'll do after UFC?

brock on UFC!?


now thats funny

Still, grappling is a HUGE part of mixed-martial arts...not to mention the man is a damn TANK! He IS a professional amatuer wrestler after all, just gotta wait and see...

i doubt he will be able to grapple frank mir.. frank mir would put him in a sumbission lock and brock cant slam or take a punch

[Lord_Waffles]

Your right we will just have to wait and see.
My only problem is Lesnar work ethic. He,
really doesn't seem to put too much effort
if he isn't "The Next Big Thing." I know
what he did out in Japn but, he was hyped.
After losing to Angle he just dropped off really.
If he loses this match, I believe he will quit.

  Can't disagree with you there...

i dont understand why yall are laughing at lesnar.... he may not be a striker but he is one hell of a grappler.  hes was like world champ amature wrestling when he was young.     i wanna see what hes got in ufc

[street_shark]

personally i want to see his butt get beat. he seems like the type that is just doing ufc just because he thinks hes the crap. frank mir is quite a beast himself so yes...we will see. ill be really pist off if it all does just turn out to be a publicity stunt becuase so far thats what its all seem to be. example...brock lesnar trying out for the nfl, brock lesnar moving to tna, brock lesnar starting to wrestle in europe. too much hype follows this guy

[Gore Whore]

i have a feeling this is his last hope, cause hes been rejected by everything.       maybe he'll fit in the european football league where all the other rejects

one question people what you think his gameplan would be stand up or take down?

[Esq.]

I'd imagine that he'd use as many takedown slams and submissions as possible. He's big, too big I think to keep up with of the other fighters strikes. He's really gonna have to rely on his physical toughness and grappling skills to survive in the octagon. Probably see ALOT of slams from him, trying to take advantage of his leg, chest, and arm strength. I think he's also faster when dealing with a grounded opponent.

i think hes gna try and stand up for a while because he was talkin about trainning boxing  so he might think he can punch but then eventually he will "try" and slam his opponet but cmon frank mir will own him

Well, I don't know. I saw his MMA debut and he quickly took down his opponent, got the mount, and pounded out the win. I think it'd be hard to stop his take downs since he's so f'n strong and big. The fights in february though, he has a lot of time to train.

Here's the video of his MMA debut from the summer.

[street_shark]

im pretty sure hes a take down. all his background would make him more comfortable as a submissioner i mean being in wrestling pretty much all his life you know. anyways i dont even think his huge butt arms would let him punch
