The cage is a completely different animal. Lesnar has absolutely ZERO experience in this kind of environment. This is why you see many of the PRIDE fighters having difficulty in their first few fights in the UFC. A perfect example was three months ago when Forrest Griffin (+300) defeated a heavily favored Shogun (-450) going away. It was Shogun's first fight in the UFC and he literally looked liked a deer in headlights out there. I'm lost for an explanation as to why this continues to happen, but it's been a recurring theme as more and more PRIDE fighters come over to the UFC. As for Brock Lesnar, he has no previous MMA fighting experience with the exception of one bout against an absolute cream puff. That fight was set-up as a "warmup" to hype up the one scheduled for this evening.
Don't get me wrong, Frank Mir is no billy bad ass either. However, he is a well versed, seasoned veteran with loads of experience. Not to mention, the dude's, a former UFC champion.
I'll be surprised if this one gets past the 2nd round.....
Hindsight is 20/20 and it was pretty stupid to lay money on brock over muir. Muir looked good but lesner came out aggressive right away putting muir on his back and trying to ground and pound into a knockout.
The fight was stopped early when the ref took a point away from lesner for hitting muir in the back of the head..seemed like a call that wasnt really necessary.
THe submission hold that ended the fight was smooth. Lesners lack of experience is what cost him, lesner was standing over muir who was on his back keeping lesner at bay with his legs...and with brock thinking of a way to get to muir he was suddenly tripped and put into a leg lock.
couple good fights nothing great not worth the 45 bucks, especially not worth the bet on lesner fuckin wwf actors trying to cash in on a mans sport costin me money!
I took Mir and Slvia and got 1 of 2 dogs right for small profit....
Silvia can lick my nuts...had a chance to knock em out in that first round and pussied away...
I had Sylvia too. Too bad he couldn't finish the job. Helluva fight though, but you gotta tip your hat to Nogueria. He got tuned up pretty much the entire fight and I actually thought they could've stopped it at one point. Those Brazilians are some tough SOB's...
You should of took the parlay you asked me for. Griffin and Nog. Oh well. Sylvia should of that won that though.
I know I am pissed I didnt like I said I was gonna...my buddy who is a UFC nut told me to take Silvia so I had to go with him and not Nog....Silvia had em FUCKED in that first round but couldnt complete the knockout after he knocked him down..
