But regarding who wins the fight?

Personally I'd say Brock Lesnar, I've been following him since his early wrestling days and he is a machine.
He is a big guy but moves like a damn cat, plus if he can get Frank Mir on the ground he's gonna ragdoll him all over the ring.

I've been a Frank Mir fan for a while... although he hasnt had much luck lately, I'd go for him.

Frank Mir by Submission (triangle choke)... Round 1.

EDIT :- I'm pretty sure UFC 81 is on this weekend. 2nd February to be more specific.

Frank Mir in my books, Lesnar will be a force in the future but for his 1st UFC think Mir will have too much ring experience.
good fight by the looks of it but

Frank is looking good in that picture, until i saw that i would have said Brock, but a healthy Mir is a hard fight for anyone.

I will say Brock by GNP 2nd round.....

Brock is a monster, I remember watching him on WWE and he was a freak. Mir looks just as freaky.

Should be a classic.

Frank Mir by Submission... Round 1.



Told yous. Here's the recap from sherdog.com

"Round 1

Lesnar caught a kick and immediately took Mir down. From half-guard, Lesnar blasted away with elbows and punches. Steve Mazzagatti took a point away from Lesnar for hitting the back of the head. Lesnar dropped Mir with a right hand. Lesnar pounced with punches and had Mir hurt. Mir went for an armbar but Lesnar escaped and continued to tee off. As Lesnar went to posture up, Mir locked on a kneebar that forced Lesnar to tapout at 1:30 of the first."
