This is the MMA fight video of Brock Lesnar versus Frank Mir At UFC 81.
too much hype not enough fight
Man mir looked shitty, but his submission skills came through for him.
f****** pwned
The guy with the penis on his chest got f*****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you didnt see this coming youre not a real fan!
More proof that size means nothing when it comes to experience.
Steve Mazaggati should not be a referree for UFC events anymore.. i've seen many fights where he does stupid point take aways like that… Lesnar did not intentionally hit Mir in the back of the head…. he TURNED away.. ive seen way worse than that and no point deduction.. I give that fight to Lesnar anyways.. I like Mir but if these two were to meet again I bet it would be different
damm!! frank was gettin his ass handed to him.what a f******
way to win a fight. almost identical to his win over tank.
brock should have kept it on his feet.
what little girl "frank mir" what to scared to try to stand up gotta fight from your back
wow brock is so strong but skill over strength wins it : )
damn i picked lesnar to to KO in the first and looked like he had it. Then i saw him grab the legs when mir was on the ground and was like oh thats the wrong move but oh well. Everyone knew there was a good shot that he'd get subbed but all in all it wasn't that horrible.
If he can learn a little more ground game and avoid the silly subs he could be something. This was too quick to judge but everyone knew he was gonna come out and do damage and he did just that.
well thats what he's good at, fighting from his back.
how tall is mir? he doesn't look 255. unless he is like 6'5
lol, brock tapped mir so hard i think that steve thought he was hitting him and not tapping.
HAHAHAAaa.. bitter WWE fans.. your boy sucks, and swallows… now go home and share the news with you mom!!!
This is not a "what if" sport either it's done or it's not!
If he had stayed on his feet!
If the ref hadn't stop it…
If .. if.. if…
if only your mom had swallowed!!!
WWE would be bankedrupt
jason i don't no what fight yuo say. mir wasn't scard to fight on his feet, lezner knocked him down. with a punch and took him down within the frist 5sec with a double.
this is how i say the fight going personal Brock is a good fighter strong looked great but was realy undertrained in the ground game. give him 5 – 6months more of trainning and this guy will be back strong and hungry.
How about Brock VS Cro-cop?
brock should have let frank up. every one knew that this was way mir was going to win. next time brock, take a breath and think if tangeling with a BJJ master from standing postion is a good idea? well he was dominating and had good ground postioning but he got a bit ahead of himself. s*** happens………..any guesses who lesnar or mir will fight next?
What do you expect, it's mma. what a little girl? imagine getting pounded by a 300 pounder and still managed to win the fight. besides the fact that he's not 100% physically. people who's giving him s*** about that he wouldn't stand up, it's mma , you have to be well rounded. standing up, going toe to toe with someone will not make you a better fighter, you gotta to mix it up a bit.for the people who think that stand up is the only manly way to do it, you got the wrong sport, get out, you don't belong here.
at first mir looked in trouble but it was because of the slip trying to throw a kick. Mir has better stand up but brock would have just had more power in his punches and a better chance to knock mir out with one punch. true fight viewers knew this should have been the result and mir came through with beautiful technique and body positioning. Great result for mir, bring on the next challenger, he is back!
If that's fighting like a girl then I guess lesnar got his ass kicked by a girl n so will u if u think u don't need to know how to fight from ur back
jason ur dumb its lesnar who got him down in the first place because he was afraid to stand up since he is a wrestler. idiot…
Mir is very lucky. What is he proud of? Getting his ass kicked before being saved by the ref and then tapping out a guy who is probably a white belt in JJ?
Besides the fact of the fight being stopped before a TKO, mir better keep working on his cardio because I doubt he'd even make it past that 1st rnd if it kept going.
Lesnar showed more in this fight can mir did. I am excited to see what lesnar will bring to the HW division. As for mir? Who cares. He'll get knocked out or tapped out by big nog if he ever gets a shot.
steve mazagaty sucks
^^I duno, lesnar looked like the lil girl, tap,tap,tap,tap !!!
Steve should not have stood them up. It was too heated to stop like that. Mir was lucky and Brock needs to watch where his feet are. Tipical wrestler style, but what a phenom Lesnar will be.
Frank Mir has skill. Lesnar is an oversized ape and was trying to win w/ brute force no skill no game. He's just newer version of Tank Abbott
Well done Frank. Great fight, stuck to his game plan and it worked perfectly. Would love to see Frank back at his best
another ground and pounder bites the dust but Steve Mazagatti still has the best stache' in MMA
why would lesnar be good at MMA hes a amature with a wresterling back ground put him on the ulitmate fight, what did you people expect serouisly hes fighting a ex world champion for his first ufc fight, second mma fight ever hes 1-1 good luck to him in the future, congrats to frank mir hope he gets back in the mix
Brock's inexperience showed in that fight. Someone should of taught him to roll with a leg lock/knee bar.
are you guys kidding me. mir got he win…with a submission…there's no more decisive way to win…retards
That's why it's called Mixed Martial Arts. Sure he was getting beat in the stand up and with the ground and pound but he could have broke Lesnar's ankle if he wanted to.
Hey Jason, Lesnar got beat by a dude lying on his back… who's a little girl? This is MMA my friend not rock em sock em robot. There are many dimensions to this sport, Lesnar is one dimensional he was hell bent on pounding on Mir he didn't even see the trap he setting for him in the end.
I vote that Steve Mazaggati be forced to retire. What the F***, dude? Easily the worst ref in MMA.
first of all would like to say i was extreamly excited bout this fight….wat a let down. Did someone forget to tell brock that in the ufc there is 3 five min rounds not 30 sec to knock him out. leasner was controlling the fight stand up and he had him in side controll but insisted on that hammer fist bullshit. i dont care how many black belts mir has got in brazilian juitse, if u get an unfit C*** like mir(who look ordanary) in side controll you use your weight to hold that position then mount the prick. but all brock wanted to do is chuck is hands and legs every and get caught in a stupid basic summsion… start chucking hammer fist like crazy late in the second and third rounds when mir would have been fatigued and less likely to capulize on the gifts brock was handing him
look when u think about it: this wasn't a fair fight for Brock Lesnar!!! I mean the guy's had 1 fight in MMA! & they put him up against a former Heavyweight Champion??? you tell me how that's fair. doesn't matter how big lesnar is, the point is that he has virtually zero experience & mir's a beast in the octagon… brock got a raw deal man…
brock needs to fight kimbo slice
Thank God. Thank you Frank Mir. Congratulations.
Hey poop, just want to let you know that if you're a white belt in JJ then you have no business fighting in the MMA. Also, how would you like it if a 300 pound ape was hammer fisting you in the back of the head. It was a clear foul. The ref took points because it would only take one clean shot to the back of the head in this weight class to debilitate someone. Oh and lastly, Lesnar looked very rigid and stiff and over muscled. You need to be fluid and flexible in this sport and as to who showed more fight? Mir after taking some shots made Lesnar tap out, give up, and surrender. Please i welcome your response.
Wow, great fight. Glad Mir won 2 b honest cuz i think it'd make mma look really bad if lesnar just came in crushing all these fighters starting with a former champ. Better off this way for Lesnar to start with a loss and work up from there(for the ufc that is). If he did just clean house think of all the hacks that would try and emulate him… xpac? mike tyson? ron artest? I think Lesnar will b great but F*** all those other wannabes. Obviously a fantastic wrestler and athlete already… really pumped to see how good Brock can get.
Holly crap rich, Lesnar needs work on his JJ and you need work on your spelling.
brock was looking good , he was relentless but the guy was too much excited and made that f****** mistake , now i want to see brock lesnar vs bob sapp…..
this is what you get from UFC. they made alot of money from Lesnar. But lesnars first debut fight in UFC and vs x HW champion is completely unfair. UFC doenst have ranks, instead you got this retarded kid picking the fights that are unbalanced. Dana wants to make money not good fights. Lesnar should have fought like 3-5 more fights before fightings someone on Mirs level. Pride fighters dominating the UFC btw. UFC really bad line up of fighters compare to Pride.
"brock needs to fight kimbo slice"
two over-hyped fighers going at it
Mir sucks he is lucky he got his stupid spinning toe hold
Maybe Lesnar should consider stepping down to the minors to gain the much needed experience he lacks while trying to learn the dynamics of mma. He came out strong in this fight, and he is powerful, but he only had a punchers chance in this bout. Frank Mir has been one of the most well rounded fighters in the world of mma since way before his motorcycle accident, back when he was thought to be unbeatable by most. It was great to see him pick up a win by submission as he works to regain his "unbeatable" status.
well it was an ok fight. I dont get why everyone is calling lesnar a p****. He is a 4 time all american. He has only had 1 mma fight. and ufc is different then mma. In mma you can give shots to the back of the head repeatedly. ufc you cant cause your in the caged octagon as opposed to a ring. i see it lesnar is a good fighter and needs to develope a different fighting style then he will be better. Frank mir is a former champ kind of an unfair fight between the 2. Mir had more experience then lesnar but all-in-all it was a good fight.
Wow… Well, our WWE fans are still cryin'. Would have, could have, should have… If, If, If…BUT DIDN'T. Now Brock can go back to tryin' our for pro football or selling Avon or something… Mir is a huge man who uses small-man jiu-jitsu. Better yet, he is a great guy that didn't run his mouth and just got the job DONE and finished the fight!
i thought lesnar would have more raw striking power from the top with all that weight and power… needs a little more time and development, and a lot of bjj..
For those of you that think Mir was getting handled, you don't know what you are talking about. The fight went exactly as he planned. He knew Lesnar was going to take him down, and he knew that Lesnar would overpower him. He said it himself. So his gameplan was to fight from his guard take a few punches and wait for Lesnar to make a mistake, and he did.
This fights proves why the UFC today allows lesser fighters to win. If this was the old days (with no rules and no gloves) then Frank would have been out within the first 30 seconds.
you fagots sittin hear sayin mir's a bitch for not standin up, well if brocks such a good fighter an s*** why couldnt he survive on the ground,so you f****** who dont know s*** bout mma just sit down an shut the F*** up
dam, still good for his second only proffesional fight
the referre did a good job!mir wins and that's no excuse.lesnar lose and that's no excuse also.Be a gentleman and accept your defeat…god bless UFC AND ALL ITS REFERREE…MIR YOUR GREAT FIGHTER LIKE CHUCK LIDDEL AND WANDERLEI SILVA…
that point being taken away was garbage,there has been way worse with only a warning,I think Lesnar did well for his second fight. He needs to work on his technique big time. Mir didn't impress me as much as I thought he would, but a win is a win. Both of those fighters will be around for a while.
STEVE: and ufc is different then mma. In mma you can give shots to the back of the head repeatedly. ufc you cant cause your in the caged octagon as opposed to a ring.
WTF are you talking about?!… Ring/Octagon… stop trying to act like you know anything. There is no organization that allows punches to the back of the head you dumb s***!
sure we knew mir is a submission master but look at the power of lesnar sure you guys dont like him because of wwe. but he did beat the s*** out of a former ufc HWT champion and hats what you f****** dont see. lesnar just needed a little more experience and trust me he will learn from this hes got time to learn and beconme the champ in the future. that was a text book submission he got caught on and well he was forced to tapout. props to lesnar though cant wait to see him fight again.
i think mir got lucky, lesnar had him!
i gotta hand it to lesnar i didnt think he would do as good as he did but i think the next time they fight it will be different and hes gunna go for the knock out
That big f***** can't even make it in the WWE. Why did anyone think he could make it in the UFC he also didn't make it in the NFL. So I did tell my mom Brock Lesnar lost.She paused for a moment as I told her Frank mir submitted him. She looked at me again for a pause and said….. you really need a life!
brock would of killed him standing up i think we all know that. and i think mir is a dick bag who just got lucky. give brock a little more time and then well see who the next champ will be. have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW saw this last night!!!Man we all predicted this as the outcome brock tapped like a girl!!!looked like he knew right away what to do,tap, tap,tap man I love Mirs reaction when he got the sub down priceless!!!and for all these girls on here that are talking about mir being a lesser fighter please go back to your basements and wait for the WWE fight..IDIOTS
I'm an huge MMA fan but for you dumbasses that say brock is all size and strenght or talk this WwE crap you are a fool. Brock (like many wrestlers) is naturally going to start out as a ground and pounder, but definately not going to be a BJJ expert. Brock was blatantly robbed by steve, and I am shocked it happened. Mir did a great job submitting him, but he might not have gotten the chance if it wasn't for the point deduction.
alrite this fight was big bull shyt steve mazighatti f***** lesnar over bad he didnt even give him a warning for hitting in the back of the head if it would have been herb dean he would have said watch the back of the head and let it continue and lesnar would of won as he should have by knockout instead of getting submited… lesnar will be back with more improved skills and will have his title shot soon
Ok, first off, Mir ain't no damn pushover, he's been there before in long fights, he knows what it takes. At the pace Lesnar was pushing, he would have gassed FAST in the first round. Mir is a ex world champ, AND he was in a motorcycle accident that put him out of the UFC, or any other fight org. for 2 years. Not a pushover in the slightest. It's simply amazing that he is back. WWE is fake as F***, Lesnar had no clue what he was getting himself into. I'll give him the fact he's a good wrestler, and he took Mir down hard, and hit him hard, but those hammers to the back of Mirs head were f***** up. Totally illegal, there's a reason why dumbshits, it's only slightly harder than your temple back there, and your spinal cord is totally exposed, we're talking permanent damage. Steve M is a great ref, he prolly should have stood them up faster, after just one shot to the back. Wanna see a bad ref lol, Herb Dean is the worst in MMA, he stands people up in stupid situations. just search in YouTube for Herb Dean screw ups, lol, you won't find Steve M in that category.
Are you guys farking kidding me??? Lesner tapped out, meaning he quit. Part of the UFC is getting a tap, and Mir did exactly that. Yea, he took a few punchs, but that is how frank has always fought. He is still the Former HW champ in the UFC, and he is working on getting back there.
I think all of the hate for Frank is people that only watched this fight because it had lesner. WWE fans are the ones that are butt hurt, and saying Mir lost.
Brock Lesnar is dominate and he will dominate like no1 ever in the ufc has ever done B4…he dominated frank its just he stepped over him and made a mistake every1 loses he dominated frank mir its just when he stepped over him he fell and it was over…UFC better watch out…cause the trains commin through and its Brock Lesnar…to be the biggest guy in the ufc and that quick…it doesnt matter if he is the worst on the ground (in which he isnt) fighting the best on the ground its gonna be hard to get him in a submission unlike frank mir…he just stepped over…and gettin him in an upper body submission….like frank mir tried the armbar how many times?….huh..lol u better mark that out of the things to do list….all in all Brock Lesnar is gonna be the most dominate fighter in the Octagon.
I think Frank was rolling into that punch and he shouldn't of lost a point for it.
I think if Brock can step up his jujitsu game he could be quite a force with his sheer size and power, and great wrestling skills.
This is exactly the way i thought the fight would turn out. Brock Lesnar only has size. He has no strength. If you hit someone the way he was hitting Mir then they should go out. This only shows that all Lesnar is, is talk. I think his UFC career is going to be straigh down hill. And to BLACKBELTKARATE, an unintentional hit to the back of the head is one thing, but he hit Mir three times while Mazagatti was saying stop. You dont know what you're talking about so you can just shut the hell up.
I was really looking forward to the fight and it went pretty much as i expected. Thought it would have went a little longer but you have to give Brock some credit, he definitely has a bright future. I mean Frank Mir is a solid, experienced fighter. Brock needs to fight Tim Sylva…Sylva would get his ass handed to him.
Wow for all the people bashing brock there is a coule of things u have to realize. first is that was his firdt fight in the ufc and i would have to saya he did damn well but just got caught. second is if this guy gets some serious bjj training, you could be looking at the most dominant heavyweight the world of mma has seen. outrageous strength, size, speed, and heart. third is he was not fighting a nobody, frank mir is pretty damn good heavyweight when it comes to submisions. i wish the ufc would have put brock against a striker like tim sylvia, cro cop, or kongo. i guarantee he whips all there asses. we wiil see a much improved brock in his next fight.
ok great job to mir for getting the victory.. i was going for lesner and thought he was going to win unless he made a mistake from inexperience which he did and he paid for it mir is an amazing fighter who is going to capitalize on peoples mistakes great job on the win… for all u people talking s*** about brock tapping if he doesnt tap he gets his leg broken and maybe never fights again stop hating on the guy because he lost… brock gets some expeience in bjj and he is probably going to be unstopable.. and besides fedor will dominate ne heavyweight in the ufc neways i dont like fedor but the guys good
that was mad unfair givin lesnar a former champ for his first ufc fight and second fight ever in his mma career, but now brock knows where he stands and wut he has to do to be the best. i bet brocks next fite will be against tim sylvia and mir's next fite is gonna be for the title.
Obviously there are very little people on this forum that can be non bias. WWE vs UFC? The WWE was not represented, only 2 UFC fighters, regardless of there backgrounds. Lets be honest here.
1.Lesnar looked better than most probably expected.
2.Lesnar had Mir in some very compromising positions.
3.Steve M should never have stood up the fighters from one accidental strike to the back of the head, let alone deducted a point without warning for an accidental blow.(listen to Mike and Joe, they both were in awe).
4.Lesnar should have never been thrown to the wolves(Mir) in only his second fight.
5. None us really know how hurt or not Mir ever was.
6. Bottom line: Mir = Winner
PS. Looks like the public perception on Silvia was starting to look positive for him.
congrats. mir tapped out a guy who probably hasn't even entered a JJ competition in his life. WAY TO GO BUDDY! might aswell tap out his brother in law at the next family BBQ
jujitsu 1 – wrestling 0
Good fight, didn't know there was rules to fighting, lol, tell that to the guy I knocked out in the bar… This is crap, a punch is a punch, you put your head down, because your getting punched in the face they you get hit in the head, so this fight should be scrapped or you true fans should realize this isn't a fight, its just a sport, like wwe…lol
Lesnar hits were hard, and it seemed Mir was dazed. Lesnar had bad footing when Mir was on the ground, mir knocked his legs out from under him and put him in a foot lock… it was only expected that an inexperienced Lesnar lossed. He's lucky he wasn't in an armbar…mir broke his last opponents wrist to win a fight.
So let me get this stragiht… Lesnar beats the crap out of him, but the other guy grabs his foot and twists it, so he wins? If this is a fight, Lesnar wins, but its not a fight, its a foot twisting contest, so the other guy wins.
Steve Mazzagatti is the worst ref in the UFC.
we all know mir was going to win. once the fight hits the ground, thats mir world BJJ isn;t easy to get :). gotta give it to brock his fast and strong. his no push over. if you saw that double take down. he switched lvls faster then any one is seen before. just needs to work on his jj defense. he was under trained for somone of mir's level in the sport but give him time guys. but all the credit to mir for the win, he is a great fight one of the best.
CEEMAR 1991: if u were watching the fight frank turned into the strike ,brock hit him twice and steve never gave a warning, in the tyson griffin fight the other guy punch tyson in the back of the head 4 times and all he got was a warning,and to say brock has no strength u are just retarded.
Mir was out of it. That same ref called the first fight and warned that other fighter five times and still didn't take a point from him. Lesnar did what he said he was gonna do. Not a mark on him. And he isn't injured so he can continue his crazy workout routine. Lesnar is legit and now we all know that. Mir couldn't even strike Lesnar and Leznar was faster and more accurate on his feet than Rick was. For Lesnar first fight, you can't hold it against him for not seeing the swivel leg trap that eventually led to the kneebar; at that point Brock's stance was too wide anyway. He will be back.
Brock Lesnar will be the heavy weight champ…he fights again in a few months
mir pulled a mayweather and gave his back to avoid getting hurt even more than he had been. bad call by the referee.
he kept frank mir alive by resetting him. brock is going to be a force. they fight again hes going to hurt mir bad and fast. lesnar will be the most dominant heavyweight in mma history.
Mir is just lucky that its only Brock 2nd mma fight. Otherwise, Brock would have destroyed Mir. I liked to see Brock fight Tim Silva, he would kill Tim's big ass. I bet Brock Lesnar doesnt loose a fight for a long time now.
I was a brock hater but he proved he has very good potential. With more training in BJJ he could be a force to reckon with. He was very classy in his interviews. He clearly has the size and strength to over power anyone in that division, he just needs to tune up his skills.
Mir's just lucky that its only Brock 2nd mma fight. Otherwise, Brock would have destroyed Mir. I liked to see Brock fight Tim Silva, he would kill Tim's big ass. I bet Brock Lesnar doesnt loose a fight for a long time now.
mir is like nogeira got beat on stand up or punches but insane with the submission
you guys are retarded i swear. the better fighter won and that it. Stop whining like little girls man. Lesner has no experience and lost to a much better opponent. Also, lesner picked this fight so its his dumb fault for fighting him. Thats what he gets for being an over sized ape.
Brock who? Another attempt from a one demensional wrestler trying to compete in a sport that you actually hit someone. I agree he was putting down the smackdown, but he needs to be sent down to the minors to learn to crawl before he walks.
and to all the WWE fans who are bitter, heres another stab. Wrestling is fake.
So is Frank Mir the WWE champ now? The UFC should have a tag team match- nogueira and mir vs sylvia and lesnar.
bhahahaha….. I can't stop laughing …..that Nick guy talking about how dominant Lesnar was and is gonna be ….bhahahahaha …… Let me ask all the cry babies that are talkin abut how dominant Lesnar was two questions, would you rather take a few punches or get your f****** LEG BROKEN AND POSSIBLY SEVERED AT THE KNEE!!?? Had you rather bleed a little or WALK WITH A LIMP FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!?? No reply neccessary…Brock Lesnar answered for all you cry babies when he so dominantly tapped to avoid having his leg broken. I wonder if Lesnar felt dominant as he limped around the octagon listening to Bruce Buffer announce Frank Mir as the WINNER of the bout due to a SUBMISSION by knee bar.
steve f***** up it happens and he works for NSAC NOT for UFC btw
I agree with MackTruck's comment.
Lesnar and Kimbo Slice should fight… with the winner (if the word 'winner' shoud even be used for either one) taking on the Iron Sheik in a bout that will be televized and shown free on large screen televisions in trailer parks all over the world. Ohhh, there I go fantasizing again if only the world was perfect. hahahahaha
lol at all the haters
i second that tag team match with special guest referee sean michels
Sour grapes, anyone?… Sounds like the WWE hype-wagon is rollin' outta town now. Too bad. Those who jumped on it gotta realize that Danna thought he was feedin' Mir to Lesner, but ooops!, it didn't quite work out as expected. Kurt Angle and the rest of the WWE Zoo forgot to remind Brock'orilla that he would need a lot more than a big mouth and a one-dimensional game to stop Frank Mir. Yep, we got treated to all the hype and glitz but bottom line, all the pissing and whining that is getting posted in this string is from "experts" who needed a REALITY CHECK and got it! One more thing, hats off to Brock for tapping really well! Ouch, my kneee hurts!!!
1) I am not a fan of WWE or any other entertainment sport wrestling.
A good fight.
I anticipated a submission loss( as many did), UFC one on one showed Lesnar's training regime, lots of strenght and cardio and only glossed over any of his BJJ trianing or other MMA training.
There is no doubt about it he is a hulk, WWE is entertainment sport, no one denies these gentleman are in good athletic condition, you would have to be to perform thise acrobatics week in and week out. NO ONe HAS EVER SAID THAT wwe is "real fighting".
Lesnar fell due to inexperience- plain and simple- with some further training he will do well in the UFC or anyother MMA venue.
You can not blame the ref- they make mistakes in all sports
clearly Lesnar was warned re: the back of the head strikes and they were stood up.
For those whining about Lesnar had Mir in the ground and pound and this was a crappy "girly win by leglock" – you bet he did- and guess what superior technique won the fight.
That my friends is MMA
For those whimpering it was an unfair fight" Lesnar's 1st vs a former champ"- Lesnar could've said no- he is a big boy and entered a fight he thought he could win- we've all done that- brock will take his lumps ( like all fighters do) learn some lessons about BJJ defense and come back a better MMA fighter for it.
Those are my thoughts for what they are worth.
Cheers everyone till the next big MMA event in March
for those who said lesner had no skill, he got out of some arm bars and made some impressive take downs. what he needs to learn is counters, some jujitsu of his own, and most of all he needs to learned to Mount if he full mounted mir would be nothing more than a blood stain on the mat.
lesnar and the rest of the wwe should stay out of real fighting. imagine if he fought one of the better heavey weights. this should shut kurt angle up, unless he wants to man up and get humiliated as well. keep the glam in the wwe. ufc should be about bringing heart not hype.
hes a good wrestler.. but thats all.. hes just a big guy which gives him a stand up advantage over someone who isnt a striker.. but when it comes to skill as a mixe martial artist.. lesnor has NONE
Everyone of these WWE fans need to get their head on straight.
Brock lesnar will be great for a few reasons-again.. if he wants to be..
1. He is a millionare.. he can afford the best trainers anywhere and afford to train with the best fighters.
2. He is athletic for his size. Moves great for his weight. He is also a pretty damn good fighter for only 2 fights.
3. He is also strong as hell. I have read some of his lifting stats-amazing. Which means for MMA-he will probably be able to power bomb guys in the air like Rampage has done in the past.
I think he could be great. Frank Mir is awesome-one of my favorites. I thought he would win the fight with a submission-and he did. If Brock trains correctly with BJJ and top notch fighters-he will be a great contendor, possibly champion someday.
Some of you peeps really don't know s*** about MMA and should not even bother posting. And for the record-it is a shame that was his UFC debut fight. I thought he was outclassed from jumpstreet. Name anyone in the UFC within the last 5 years that had 1 MMA fight , then took on a former HW champion… that's right, none. Great way to sell tickets, but shitty for Lesnar. I am actually impressed from what I seen from Lesnar, but his BJJ stinks-he needs great improvement to dominate the HW division.
Anyone that doesn't agree with me, I will gladly argue my points further. If you turn into "ride this beotch!", then I won't bother with such uneducated thug drivell.
I couldn't believe that dumbass ref took a point deduction after ONE hammerfist to the back of the head, EVERY SINGLE OTHER fight i've seen in a similar situation, the ref has given a warning first. Mir was simply lucky brock wasn't being careful, otherwise he would CONTINUE to have been dominated.
I don't think they should stay out of "real fighting" as you put it.
I think they should learn some skill b4 talking smack and entering a ring where the outcome is not predetermined by a script.
lesnar has proven that he has championship roman greco wrestling skill, he has proven he has size and power, however he has also proven to be elementary in his knowledge of BJJ and defense.
This transition proves to me and I hope others that you can not be a one dimensional Fighter in MMA. I hope this lets other fight sport enthusiasts realize that UFC, Pride and MMA in general is a "real sport"
Cheers as always
lesnar did better than most at 2 years experience.altho- he walked right into that sub, and mir did his thing. mir is outta shape bigtime and was lucky it ended cuz he was gassin. years of jj helped him tonite but barely. give lesnar time, to learn sub defense
How many times have you heard Steve say, "Watch the back of the head!" five times to a fighter during a fight and never do anything. Brock was singled out because of who he is. Frank was getting his ass handed to him and Steve saved his ass in a poor call. Do you people think that love tap of a hammer fist grazing Frank's head hurt him in any way? But… Frank Mir DID win the fight. Brock lacks the experience against the submission skills of someone like Mir. I would however love to see Brock Lesnar vs. Tim Silvia!
Mannn. Brock is ganna come back. He just lacks the experience right now but hes ganna dominate eventually. He will probably lose more future fights but hes ganna come back that much stronger.
All you WWE fans are just retarted. Submissions are not fighting? WTF? Brock didnt have to tap out and keep fighting with a broken leg… See how well can he do without his leg!!!
Most ground and pound fighters are not true fighters… They are just muscles with no brain… Its like having a 2000hp car without any steering!! and the result shows exactly that…
Steve is a great ref. It was a great call. People like brock should not be allowed in MMA. He is too reckless. He has no control of himself. A fighter is someone who is skilled in fighting, someone who have control, and not all muscle and swinging wild hoping he will hit something. He might as well low blow frank while he at it or poke his eyes out.
Even if brock wins… he would be just another "strong guy"… not a fighter…
Brock reminds me of Bob Sapp,all size and strength but very little skill.He will end up with a record no better than sapps too I bet.But considering the UFC is more about making money than setting up decent fights its no wonder they let guys like brock get in the ring with a fighter that totally outclasses him.
with the point i think its just because. its lezners frist fight. and his a super strong guy like one of them shots could realy hurt somone soo steve was just trying to tell you HAY this crap isn't going to fly in here. smarten up
It is so funny, how Frank Mir is being critized because he supposedly, fought a white belt, in ground fighting. Well, Brock Lesnar, should have taken more time, to prepare, if he is considered a white belt.
MMA, is still mixed martial arts, right? So, if Brock Lesnar's ground skills, were not there, why take the fight?
Wether MMA or a street fight, if I fight someone as big as Brock Lesnar, I am not going to trade punches, with a guy that size. Brock Lesnar, is clearly bigger than Frank Mir.
Frank Mir, did what he had to do, to win.
Brock Lesnar, was doing quite well, in the initial part of the fight however, Frank Mir, knowing that this is MMA, used what he felt, may give him the victory. In this fight, it was an ankle lock. Is it illegal?
frank got lucky and every1 knows it
whys everyone hating on lesnar… if he learns his ass some bjj he'll porb be one of the best heavyweights in the world… he lasted longer and looked more impressive than the 2 time ufc heavywight champ tim silvia…..
Lesner showed absolutely no skill. he's slow and dumb, and when he had dominant position his punches were very poorly executed. apparently his years of MMA training didnt teach him how to throw an elbow. what a loser… Pro wrestling sucks
mir did look bad, but bjj will always win
Man all you have to do is roll Brock. Come on man. I paid fifty bucks for that fight to see you get beat by a leg lock. You had him!!!!
You could see frank slipping his leg through yours, getting ready for that knee bar. STEP BACK!!!!
i hate the WWF, but everyone that is hating on brock
is stupid. he did pretty well for his second fight,give the guy some credit he needs to learn alot more though. anyone that thinks brock can't fight ,he would eat ur souls
brock started off strong he has alot of patential but he is still inexperienced soo give him a break that was a former champ in his first UFC match
Props to Lesnar…he came to fight he just left himself open and gave Mir the come from behind submission
Brock will be great if he practices up on his BJJ.. He will be back for more and soon enough we will have Lesnar and Mir 2.. Lesnar has to much heart to lose to the same guys twice I guarantee you that
Lesnar got schooled…get over it…be thankful Frank Mir decided to leave his leg attached so Lesnar would be able to train, practice, and try to learn the skills he lacks to be competitive.
All you idiots calling Mir lucky and a wimp don't have a clue about this sport…It's mixed martial arts submitting is part of the game…Lesnar has no experience and is not experienced in jiu jitsu, so Mir took advantage of that. The better man won
Exciting fight. I was going for Mir but was a little nervous that Lesnar might overpower him. Anyone else think that the UFC wanted Lesnar to lose? Putting a wrestler with little MMA experience up against one of the top Heavyweight submission fighters in the world. The UFC gets all of the Professional Wrestling fans to watch and see their top "fighter" get beat quickly. No point watching professional wrestling after, all of these juiced up guys pretending to be tough, switch over and watch UFC (Although, after reading the posts of people saying that Mir is a chicken for not standing up, I think WWE fans like to live in fantasy land). All being said, I think that Lesnar showed a lot of potential, give him a few more fights (against guys who are not experts at submission) and more training and he will be pretty dangerous. Thought Mir looked pretty good, hopefully he can get back to the level he was before the accident.
That was so obvious that Mazzagatti favored Mir over Lesnar. Stopping the fight for one hammerfirst, YES ONE HAMMERFIST, and then deducting a point. You could even tell the commentators thought it was bull s***. Joe Rogan was like "wtf…". Then later when Mir got that white belt bjj submission Mazzagatti even waited a couple of seconds and watched Lesnar lie there in pain from the ankle lock tapping repeatedly. Mazzagatti is such a bitch. BRING BACK BIG JOHN!
Well, it's all about experience. My first ever watched MMA match was Royce Gracie vs Dan Severn and we know how that ended. Ha-ha, Brock lost but he was really putting a pounding on Mir. If he (Brock) gets some more experience and works on his ground game and escapes, he may become a beast in MMA, but I doubt it, Monk….
1- The fans want to see a fight, not a guy grab your foot untill you tap. I know thats the rules and Mir's skill but Im saying its boring to watch. Fans want to see a KO.
2- Lesner, you were manhandling him so why not try a real punch. Throwing 30 hammer fists and no elbows or power punches is like watching a girl fight without the hair pulling.
lesnar is a dumb fighter, he will always get owned like that by a BJJ or Sambo unless he improves and stops fighting like Tank
big dumbass
The fact that you like to use big words to make yourself sound intelligent was over run by the fact that you said "I seen" its I SAW…but yeah…good points..
and going with what 100's of you have said which confuses me as to why everyone is saying the same f***** thing 500 times but HEY i'll jump on the bandwagon..
Lesnar looked good…drop the wwe vs. ufc bullshit…they're still just people fighting…lesnar will do well…mir did well..
A lot of you people on here are immature and corny but everyone is to its' own and nobody opinion never ever hurt anything..I think Brock Lesnar didn't do too bad but he is an idiot and some of punches looked kinda weak. As a lifetime pro wrestling fan, he should have stayed in WWE-he's dumb, he will always get caught like that on the ground..you lose enough fights in the UFC and you're out. I wanted Brock to win but honestly I have no respect for him after the way he went out at Wrestlemania 20..Him and Bill Goldberg put on the worse match of the night and it was over hyped kinda like he was going into this fight. He's a big oversized goon who failed at becoming an NFL player lol and I don't see him doing well in MMA and what is he thinkin with putting a sword on his chest????IDIOT!!!! And then again maybe I'm an idiot but I cant call it….UFC is f***** the best and I can call that.
Lol Broch has some powerful punches, the guy flew back at each punch Rofl.
Alright for you non mma fans, Mir got him with a KNEE-BAR! Not a foot twist or ankle lock. And for JM this is not a foot twisting contest you retard. If someone puts you in a knee bar and you're howling and wailing in pain, trust me you're definitely in a fight. I'm still awed at the fact you figured out how to use a computer.
lesnar looked really good i feel bad for the next guy he fights. mir looked not so good but got the job done. i didnt think lesnar would ever get into some of those positions. but mir is great on his back thats how he got rich.he beat silvia from the same position but i think silvia sucks anyway he is an opportunist. all im saying is watch out for brock because if he continues his career in mma he will be in the top 10 in the world in no time. there is only about 5 guys i think of off the top of my head that could handle that and win from the ground.
Some post here is entertaining…thought invoking at their best and funny at their least.
-I agree with the refs decision, considering that Lesnar has very little experience in MMA which equals very little control, and a man his size with little control can be very dangerous. I'm sure Steve doesn't want to be haunted by some crazy mishap, and shorten his refereeing career.
-I was bit impressed with Lesnar… I wouldn't say it's his lack of BJJ at fault, as a wrestler he should have known how to get out/avoid the knee bar (not ankle lock). I think if he knew how to pace the fight, he would have come out with a win. Tim Sylvia is an example of a fighter that usually wins, boring uneventful fights… that's because he usually paces them. Having said that, I don't think this fight would have gone the distance, Mir did look over powered, and it looked like he didn't really have a fight plan, since there really is no info on Lesnar to practice for. One thing Mir knew was that Lesnar was going to make a mistake, and lesnar did. If Lesnar hadn't gotten all exited and blood thirty I'm pretty sure he would be 2-0. I really don't think Lesnar should be training with wrestlers, I think it would do him a tonne of good to join a non-wrestling based group… I'd say joining the Rua brothers would be a way to go… starting fresh… non of the "I'm Brock Lesnar" attitude that might effect the way he is treated with his current team. In short he needs to be humbled.
-I was really disappointed with Mir's performance. He had everything on Lesnar, experience, striking, grappling… and yet Lesnar was controlling the fight. I can see Mir loosing his next fight, I don't see his BJJ saving his ass against a more seasoned opponent.
Brock made a rookie mistake against a good fighter but he looked really good ,that hit in the back of the head cost him the fight he was going to to ko mir
Well then I have some advice for you, Rick. Go watch some boxing if you want to see people get knocked out… idiot. It's been said a billion times before; That's why it's called MMA!
I f****** went nuts when Lesnar dropped Mir after the stand up. Though Lesnar was the "favorite" coming into the fight even though he got beat pretty quick I'm glad to see he's got some skills.
woooaa lesnar is gunna b f***** wicked after a few more fights
Anyone who wants to jump on the anit Lesnar bandwaggon should be ashamed. His debut against a submission specialist? Every single person but Frank Mir loses. UFC can make a lot of $$$ by making Lesnar a success. I'm not saying by any stretch of the imagination that Lesnar should have had an easy fight, infact in my opinion if yopu put him in against Tim Silvia, tim would hve lasted about a minute. The same goes for Herring, Kongo, cro cop.
brock lesnar should fight kimbo slice
For his first fight in UFC I think Brock did alright. At least he is taking on good opponents unlike that joke Kimbo. Frank Mir was too experienced for Brock I think.
I have to admit that Lesnar fell for a pretty amateur move. He just didn't know what to avoid.
But consider how he manhandled Mir for the beginning of the fight. If this guy gets better at BJJ he will be very good!
I think people here were simply looking for a validation of MMA over Pro wrestling. Obviously you are all right, but I have to say that Lesnar did quite well for someone with minimal experience.
Give this guy a year of fights and let him have a rematch. I think you might see a different result.
brock was whipping that chumps ass. brock needs a little more training. the guy is a beast. he could have mounted 120 times. but, he just wanted to pound the guy. thats all he knew.
Brock was awesome, i was so impressed by him, that i have stuck a large amount of money on him becoming the champ.
I thought the ref was wrong to take a point off with out warning, and i've watched the fight 3 times. as someone stated earlier mir did a mayweather turn his head round.
For the people saying brock has got no skill are just pure haters of the guy, and will be eating there words.. And i bet are all fans of chucks (who is a tremondous ground fight, not)
Again i wasnt expecting brock to dominate like he did, and he did dominate. Mir was lucky not to have been knock out an did fantastic get the leg lock on but again if he was fighting someone with exp he would of lost the hold..
I miss Big John McCarthy…Mazagatti sucks big time…
Mir could only do is to get him to tap, he got mauled big time. Brock was to strong, if Brock can learn the Defense then omg he own. The Ref looked as if he did not want Mir to loose fast cause if it went on Mir would have got kill when he turned his back. I like the UFC when there was no weight class and had less rules….
I only have two things to say:
Lesnar looked great: I hate WWE, but he was FAST, Sharp and strong. He dominated the once-great Mir. He lost officially, but when Mazaggati stopped it for the "strikes" to the back of the head (one to the side, an accidental one to the back as Mir was rolling face down), I thought that he was stopping the fight, TKO due to strikes! Really, are you f****** serious?! Even Herb Dean is better then that!
A knee Bar?! Really?! On what side of Brock's knee was Mir? What was Mir extending his hip into? If a judge doesn't know the difference between a "knee bar" and an ankle lock, he shouldn't be judging.
Willy 4February2008 M-theory:
The fact that you like to use big words to make yourself sound intelligent was over run by the fact that you said "I seen†its I SAW…but yeah…good points..
Lol, I didn't know this was a grammar contest? Besides, I type fast and tend to not skim over once finished. By the way, what big words?
Again people, real simple.
Brock is a millionare with a great wrestling background. He can afford to learn BBJ from the best and spar with the best pro boxers, train at the best camps, etc.-IF HE WANTS TO. Please spare me it takes forever to learn BJJ. People learn at different rates. Look at BJ PENN. From what I have read and seen, Brock Lesnar has great athleticism and a very good capacity to learn.
You can take ANY MMA fighter that is a millionare and their game will improve-if the money is spent correctly.
I am sure not many MMA fighters have Lesnar's back account stats.
its simple the way this fight would end is by lesnar ko/tko frank or frank submit lesnar you all knew that. well there you go frank win by submission. but what in the world ref stop the fight just because lesnar accidentally bang mir at the back of his head once no warning take 1 point straight away. NICE!!! i like MIR but i feel bad for Lesnar coz i know Mir was going to lose if it wasnt for that ref. anyway mir won end of the story
I don't think the ref should have taken a point much less stopped the fight. Broc got screwed by the ref within the first minute. I didn't really care who won the fight, but there have been other fighters with alot more exp. in the ufc and they get alot of warnings. Broc didn't even get one and it wasn't even on purpose. Mir was curling up like a little b!?ch when broc through that punch.
I beg to differ, although an MMA fight with lots of strikes is exciting, watching 2 fighters with superior ground techniques can also be exciting to watch.
your post leads me to believe that you are new to watching MMA, as time passes you will find the ground game as exciting to watch as 2 guys standing up going toe to toe.
If all you like to watch is the stand up then kick bixing or boxing may be your thing.
cheers as always
Yeah the fight was good however i have to say my word on Steve Mazzagatti. This dumb ass needs to warn the fighter first then take off a point second. He f***** Brock in the ass with that call. Because they stopped the action and let Mir stand up. Steve Mazzagatti is an asshole. We needed Big John for that fight. or Herb Dean.
Lesnar should a distracted the ref so kurt coulda hit mir with a chair then lesnar shoulda tagged steve austin and do a double moonsault drop JEAH BOI! oh yeah and then like steal frank mirs wife and hold her for like ransom or some kinda WWE thing or something jeah..WWE FOR LIFE IT'S REALLY REAL AND ITS BEEN SIENTIFUCALLeY PROVEN
Man Im sick of the amount of snobby know-it-alls constantly and desperately still tryin to push this Pride is better than UFC s***. So many people think they watched pride and knew all about mma before all the nubes of UFC and have a chip on their shoulder about it, you really think the fighters give a rats ass? Theres always been elite fighters in both, and now they're nearly all UFC fighters. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIDE FIGHTER SO THEY CAN'T RULE UFC, IF THEY'RE UFC CHAMP THEN THEY'RE A UFC FIGHTER DUMBASSES. Pride/UFC just companies, the fighters just mma employees, how hard is it to understand.
All u guys talk to much..damn shut up!..we all know that Lesnar can take Mir any time and day…I mean come on Frank was out muscled and Lesnar lacked experience, but did you guys see Mir's face after like 20 sec.?…lol that was embarrassing ..yeah Mir won the fight and there are no excuses, but we can see that Lesnar is capable of doing a lot of damage in the octagon and his dumb trainer needs to show him a little ground moves..Brock Lesnar all the Way!!!..Yea its sad that he lost that fight because many people were counting on him to win.but im glad he lost his first fight because this will only make him a better fighter and will be back in no time. I dont think there will be anyone who will give brock a challenge after his first couple of fights…sorry guys.
i dont understand how the ref stopped a deducted a point…mir turned his body when he was getting pounded in the face…which turned into him getting pounded in the back of the head…i dont get it…that should have been mir not protecting himself…and to take a point away…how lame…watch the last hughes vs. st pierre fight…the ref told pierre 3 time at least to stop punching him in the head…not saying it would have made a difference in the fight…but damn…we gotta have some consistantsy in the UFC…if he would of warned brock during the fight…and not stopped the action then everyone would be talking about brock being the next best thing…and did u see the look on mir's face…he was confused on what was going on…i dont think he believed it himself that there was a time out…brock will beast the rest of his UFC career…give him 6 months to learn some BJJ defense…and he will show the world that size does matter…i think dana needs to set up brock vs. kimbo slice…backyard brawl of the century
Lesnar is one big dude.
If he uses his head a little more he might mess some people up.
he hit him once in back of the head… shouldn't of stopped that.. brock did all right considering… i knew brock wasn't going to win… but he hit him all right… go train a little more brock… u will win… different game than the ufc… brock nice work there frank mir… u made ufc history…
OK, so I HATE pro wrestling. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT. I hate it almost as much as I love REAL wrestling, having been involved in folkstyle, freestyle and greco roman since the time I was six and all the way through my NCAA Division I career.
That said, why does everyone on here insist on grouping Brock with all the WWE degenerates? He is first and foremost a REAL wrestler. He was NCAA heavyweight runner-up in '98 and champion in '99. That is a hell of a background for a career in MMA, provided you get the right training and experience. Didn't Chuck Ladell get his start as a college wrestler? Dan Severn? Rampage? Matt Hughes?? Point is — wrestlers (REAL ones) have and will continue to be highly competitive in the world of MMA.
Yeah, I was pissed as hell when Brock and Kurt Angle (whose wrestling camps I attended several times) went to WWE after their stellar amateur careers. But when I saw Brock entering the MMA forum, I applauded the move because he was actually trying something worthwile, and I found myself cheering for him to do well. After watching the fight with Mir (who won fair and square), I am more convinced than ever that Brock will become a force in UFC. He was simply at too great a disadvantage because of Mir's combined pedigree and experience.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring up the fact that this really has NOTHING to do with WWE vs. MMA. Brock Lesnar was a dominant folkstyle wrestler and is so infinitely superior to almost any other pro wrestler (except for guys like Kurt Angle) that it's not even funny. Give Brock a few more fights under his belt and I guarantee that he will be up there with the top heavies in the business.
That was easily the best MMA debut I have seen in ages. Lessnar did what no newbie should be able to do against a former champion – take him down, knock him down, and beat on him relentelessly until Mir's considerable submission skill came into play decisively. I'd say that was exciting, personally.
Lessnar appears to be extremely fast for his size and he appears to be in maximum physical condition. He is motivated, obviously, and still has some rusty wrestling skill. I find him extremely promising.
Some of these posts never seace to amaze me.
First off, the rules of the UFC state that punches to the back of the head are illegal. If you don't like the rules, go watch dodgeball on ESPN the ocho. These fighters are given instructions in the dressing rooms before the fight. Who knows what they were told…I am sure that it was explained that punches to the back of the head are illegal…and if the stand up was such a travesty,why isn't Lesnar mentioning it…Makes you wonder what instructions were given in the dressing room before the fight
Second, the stand up by Steve M. allowed Brock Lesnar do gain a better position when they went back to the ground. He was in Mir's half guard before the stand up and had side control when they went back to the ground after the stand up.
As far as I am concerned, I think it is about time that one of the refs start enforcing the rules…so I commend Steve M. and I hope Lesnar trains and learns the skills he needs so he will not have to break the rules to be competitive. It TRULY would be a travesty to see some one get injured by an illegal blow, and to a lesser degree, get a victory due to illegal blows. Frank Mir won fair and square….end of story.
f****** LESNAR SHOULDA WOOPED HIS ASS YO.. mir wus tuff tho and got the leg but F***
First off, I am not a WWF fan by any means. But I don't think that many people are giving Brock the respect he deserves for going in there with a former heavyweight champion in his second fight. He could have took a fight with a much lesser opponent, but he wanted the competition or else he wouldn't have signed on for the fight.
As for the fight, I have been watching UFC for 10 years and have never seen anyone not get any warning for a shot to the back of the head. In this case, not only was there no warning, the fight was stopped, a point was taken away, and started again from the standing position. I have never seen anything like this in my years of watching MMA. If this had not happened it looked to me as if the fight would have been stopped due to a TKO by Lesnar. I am in no way discrediting the win by Mir, his submission skills showed, he saw an opening and took it. Brock needs to learn some submission defense, but I think he looked great out there fighting a former champion.
Brock is too big and too slow to go anyone with decent submission skills
BTW Brock, if the head is completely guarded don't punch the block when the kidney & ribs are wide open.
Brock will get better..naturally….
Mir… Will loose his next fight
i dont know why all everyone is saying lesner is getting his ass wooped lesner was wooping ass then got caugfht s*** happens brock did good next fight he'll win
Sour grapes, anyone?… Sounds like the WWE hype-wagon is rollin' outta town now. Too bad. Those who jumped on it must realize that Kurt Angle and the rest of the WWE Zoo forgot to remind Brock'orilla that he would need a lot more than a big mouth and a one-dimensional game to stop Frank Mir. Yep, we got treated to all of the hype but bottom line, all the pissing and whining that is getting posted in this string is from "experts†who needed a REALITY CHECK and got it! One more thing, hats off to Brock for tapping really well! His millionaire status didn't help much – did it? Ouch, my kneee hurts!!!
It wasnt one shot to the back of the head, it was 2 hammer fists, and he visually could SEE hitting Mir in the back of the head. Wanderlei is having some trouble adapting to UFC because elbow strikes to the head are allowed, yet stomping/ kneeing a downed opponent isnt. Dont say Mir got lucky, say Lesnar was consciously breaking the rules, and if that lost him the fight, so be it. He's unexperienced, and lost to the former world champ, there's no shame in losing, unless you lose your confidence with the fight.
One more thing.. did you see HOW EASILY he went from one submission attempt to the next? Did you see how gracefully he took Brock's leg, swiveled around, took Brock from standing to flat on his face, and made him tap out in nearly a fraction of a second? How can you people say Brock should have, could have won? The second he wasnt able to press all his weight onto his opponent, and use his sheer strength to dominate, he was so vulnerable, it made me wonder WHY they gave him the opportunity to fight Mir at all.
Stopping the bout for 1 punch in the back of the head?
Total cheese Lesnar was kicking his butt and he should learn from this if they fought again…good night Mir! Brock os going to do well in MMA
I agree hitting to the back of the head is illegal. Then all refs should have the same standards. In an earlier fight with tyson griffin,tebeau hit tyson 4 or 5 times in the back of the head and he got a warning.So if all refs stopped the fight after one blow to the back of the head and deducted a point without warning then i wouldn't have a problem with it. Steve M needs to be consistent in his calls.
I can understand why NO NAME is a NO NAME…
Brock should go try out for the Vikes again or get on the Avon circuit… Is it true that his new nickname is "hop-along"?…
Anyone that picked Brock over Mir is doesn't know jack s*** about MMA. He's a beast but I'll pick a technical fighter over someone that just has sheer strength anyday. I'm sure this brought over a lot of WWE fans to watch the fight (Smart on Dana's part) which are probably the ones texting that Brock would win. But Brock would need to train way longer than a year and a half to become a great MMA fighter.
Though Frank Mir was eating leather, he was still able to get the larger, stronger Brock Lesnar into a submission position and make him tap-out. 1min 28sec 1st round. Congratulations Frank.
Brock Lesnar….Go back to your "acting job" at the WWE.
most of FRANK MIR'S fans saying that he's back and who's next to fight him? well i say BRANDON VERA vs FRANKMIR 2. anyone agree????
i love WWF it is real as it comes. UFC is so fake, if it was real lesnar would have powerbombed him then put him in the figure 4. and where was the special guest referee? For all u pansy who think UFC is real its time for a reality check. WWF is the real deal. So what u think about that brother?
perfect example of Wrestling against Jujitsu….Jujitsu WINS all day
they shoulda put him against jake obrian !!!
Its really funny to read about others downing either guy..first of all you cant suck to be in the UFC..Broski if u knew anything about mma u wouldnt be writing foolish things..how does a 1 time champion suck..thats what the ufc is all about 1 mistake and ur gone..no matter who you are..
weve seen alot of upsets in the ufc but sorry to say mir winning was no upset just exsperience..some of you need to get ur facts straight befor running of with ur mouth..of course we all have favorites but that still doesnt take away from the truth most fights are about who makes the first mistake and who takes advantage of it…
mir will never be the hw champion again
kirbz thats would be awsom…and jack M how old are you?get real dude some of the toughest guys in the world havent been able to make it in the ufc..dont get me wrong wwf is a brutal sport but its all acted out ahead of time..all those guys are tough but get real they are intertainers not fight specialist most of them have not clue how to win a fight if they can beat someone down in the first 2 minutes..i like wwf alot of great sportmans in it but it sure is hell isnt ufc
the ref had no reason to stop the fight and take a point a way and stand them back up. mir was saved by the ref. i dont like lesnar but he was robbed. it looked like mir was giving out and he was gonna try one more useles submission before the ref messed up the finish. but lesnar shouldnt have went into mir like that trying to get the hit in when he knocked him down he shoulda stepped out but he did mess up to. but it shoulda never got that far lesnar shoulda got the win steve mazzagati sux
Getting punched in the back of the head is extremely dangerous… especially when it's a guy the size of Lesnar. Good call by Steve for noticing. Though it should have been a warning. Give him a break… it is a extremely hard job. He would of been responsible if Mir got a serious head injury due to those blows.
garbo fight need to watch wanderlai silva fight boys hes the real deal the pride fighters are too good these days
The ref did an interview with an MMA agency, and he said he gave Lesnar a warning, the problem was that the fans couldn't hear it, nor could the cameras pick it up. He said it was so loud that when he said "lets get it on" he could barely hear it himself. He also said that it is obvious that if it was a controversy, Lesnar's corner should have said something.
He knew what Mir was doing, which is pretty much what any BJJ guy would do, which is try to tuck himself close to the opponent when they are in half-guard.
stupid steve mazzagatti he cost lesnar the match ive seen worst punches to the back of the hed that were let go he ruined all his momentum
i think mir is 1 maybe 2 more wins away to a title shot this win put him in peoples minds as a top heavyweight
i think lesnar would have preferred to fight tim slyvia cos wen he decks the un-co giant he would have ate him alive on the ground
hopefully kurt angle joins ufc n fights with lesnar
brock's legs too thin~ need to work out!
Mark my words, Brock will dominate in the hw division. For such a big guy his speed is incredible. His strenght can't be matched and he has the financial backing to get the best trainers. Give this guy a couple years and a few fights under his belt and he will own. He said this is where he wants to be so he is not going away for a long time. With his wrestling background this guy has a lot of mental toughness and will do what it takes to be on top. Yea he has a lot of learning to do and he is a overgrown kid in the octagon. As he develops his game he will dominate.
Frank is a great fighter and has a lot of exprience yet did u see how fast he took him down. Brock is for real!
Mir is no way, close to being championship material. So he beat Lesnar, did he dominate, in some way, shape or form? His next fight will show he's not who people thought he was, he will loose. He was a HW champion in an organization that didn't have HW fighters, or HW fighters with any caliber. That is why Randy chose to go up to HW.
If he was to fight Nogueira, he will loose, Mir is like a mini Nogueira, skills wise.
I don't mean to rain on Randy's parade, but he hasn't fought any one that's put him in the same category as Fedor. The HW division in the UFC just got better after pride went belly up, and yet Randy hasn't fought any one from Pride. I don't really want to make this a UFC vs Pride… but if Randy wants to show he is in the same category as Fedor, fight some one from Pride Fedor beat, like Nogueira.
It was his 2nd fight and he handled Mir completely until the submission. Props to Frank good win against a monster but I gotta believe Brock will be a force with a bit more experience. Mazzagatti was too quick to deduct a point, but thats the way it is.
Don't write Brock off as just a jacked up Bodybuilding actor… He's a machine who's freakishly strong and moves very well for a man so big.. I guess that means Frank did a great job, but Brock will get there if he sticks with MMA.
lesnars gonnabe the best hw in the world in a couple of years
you guys are all f****** idiots. ya mir wasn't expecting lesnar to come out fighting like that. but if you say lesnar was pounding him your stupid, go back and watch the video again and watch as mir blocked most of the punches. If you say lesnar didnt deserve that point deduction your stupid also. he has no technique he just went out there swinging like a f***** angry gorilla.
Dirty 730 above… Your boy lost.. and.. can we stick to the topic? Go find a Couture or pride string to post comments on. Better yet, go help Brock'orilla with that sore leg!! Ouch! YEAH!
Mir will be eaten alive by Nog, he doesn t have the striking skills to put him to sleep and doesn t have enough skills to submit the guy….
mir didnt block s*** stop lying to yourself
mir got lucky, thas it.
if lesnar had not let his gaurd down he cudve killed him w/out a scratch
Once lesner learns the in's and out's of this sport and developes better JJ he will dominate mark my words he will win the belt one day, he's to strong and quick the only way you can stop him is with a slick sub and mir the master at that once brock gets pass that he will be champ and that ref made a horrible call I hope Dana White docked his pay because how could you take away a point with no warning when mir moved his head to get hit in the back, horrible call and might have changed the fight
Agreed Turtle… Who ever doesn't think the point should have been deducted after he got a verbal warning, should go and train then compete and take some hits to the back of the head… it's really safe and you'll love it, feels great. Did I mention it's really safe? It's easy for people that don't compete to run their mouths off about "Steve should of done this or that" Stop watching MMA for a sec, take your a** to a gym and spar with no helmet and 4 oz. gloves. Then you might grasp the concept of how dangerous MMA can be.
Mir looked Horrible…. and I'm not sure what the hell Brock Lesner was doing but as an untrained fighter…. I can tell you his ground and pound was horrible. He really needs to train with someone like Matt Hughes (sp?) or Randy Coutour to be effective. With his strength… and a lot of technique he could be unstoppable.
The foul that was called was weak. I don't fault the ref for stopping the action, but he shouldn't have taken a point away from Lesnar (not that it mattered with the outcome.) If you've been training to do something a certain way for a year and then you start doing it and someone says, "hey, you can't do that, I'm penalizing you," it takes that person's head out of the game. It's not Lesnars fault MIR was turning his head like that.
Lesnar smirked when it was over though…. He knew regardless… he had $250,000. Had he won he would have gotten a smooth half million… more than all the other salaries on the card combined. He still got more than the winner of the main event.
I ain't hatin' on brock… he has time to train and perfect and he's still pretty darn young. Good stuff overall.
After all the could haves and would haves and should haves… and wait 'til next years from our panel of experts,
only one thing really counts in the octagon and in life, RESULTS, and Frank Mir got 'em. Making excuses and whining like babies don't make that big knee feel any better. My goodness, he does TAP well… we'll give him that…
Both these guys blow, one of them is only good on the ground, and the other is only good on his feet. If they want to learn from a real man, or if you all want to see a real big ass MOFO that knows whats up, you should see ALEX REYNOLDS!
It was a good fight – went pretty much to plan as many have stated – for Frank Mir. In the interview about a month ago, Frank stated that he KNEW that Lesner was going to hit him. He also anticipated that Lesner was going to go to the ground (as any national wrestling champion would). Frank worked arm/leg bars really hard for this fight – and it showed. I was a little disapointed in the fact that Frank missed TWO arm bar attempts – but the leg slide to the outside of Lesner's right leg was AWESOME – Lesner had NO idea what Frank was up to when he did that. For those that think Lesner will only need 6 or 7 months of jujitsu to be the champion in the UFC HW division should really re-think what they are saying. Frank (while I'm happy that he won), was NOT in the best shape of his life – and (as many have also pointed out) nowhere near the shape he would need to be in to capture the title again. Taking that into consideration – Lesner would have been beaten even WORSE by a ranked competitor, much less the champ. So six months? Nah, more like a year or two. Also – I agree with those who said that Steve made the right decision in standing the fighters up after the blow to the back of the head. It is no different than when they stop the fight for a nut-kick – except that the blow to the back of the head is much more dangerous – it's called RULES guys – if you don't like them – go bare knuckle fighting on YOUTUBE. Simply put – Steve stopped it – penalized the fighter for the infraction, made sure Frank was okay and IMMEDIATELY started the fight when he saw the fighter was okay – what's the problem???
Nice Madman you hit it right on the nose!
Brock Lesnar had a puncher's chance to win this fight, but he screwed up and took Frank Mir to the ground. That was the mistake that cost him the fight.
Lesnar make a rookie mistqke and mir capitalized, ref sucked, and give lesnar a couple more fights and he will be dominate the division, and to all you peeps who thinks he should fight tim silvia lesnar kicks his ass in first min silvia ia a punk
Brock will get better will mir?..
Not right on the nose Madman. I get what you are saying but Brock does only need a few months of tweaking in his Jui Jitsu. Lets not forget what happens when you have a sick athlete with extreme dedication to Jits ie BJ Penn. Took him only 3 years to win f****** worlds! Brock was like it was said PURE CLASS and took the loss like a man with no excuses, good for him. I think by him showing he could fight, lost and took it so well gained him many more fans than if he would have just destroyed Frank. You know Brock said no excuses so F*** everyone making excuses for Mir saying things like… well he wasn't in great shape and that s***.
Brock will be back and has a chancer at beating ANYONE in the heavy weight division. So, he will be around for a while.
Lets wait a few years and let Brock develop and have Brock vs Fedor hahaha Machine vs Machine
That call was bull, people get punched in the back of the head all of the time and it never gets stopped. If it never got stopped, then Lesnar would have got the point. Mir ended up with the win on his record, but Lesnar was the real victor.
I am glad i didnt pay 40 dollars to watch that.i think lesnar needs to put the weights down and get a little more flexible for his ground game. he charged and put mir on the ground wich was a wrong move then he stood up and let mir work his leg gaurd..next time i bet he steps back…I think Lesnar will get alot better but it will take a few fights to learn all of his flaws
w8…w8…lesnar da man if it wernt 4 da submisssion mir wud hav been countn hz teeth on the ground
go lesnar u da man
i knw da nxt tym u gona make us WWE ppl proud!
well to say the least its disapointing. i had faith in lesnar f***** mir up but hey the mans got skill. if the fight were to go three rounds though mir would of been bloodied the F*** up. im sure lesnar will be an intresting fighter to see in the ufc for fights to come. just a heads up though i got money on th lesnar for the rematch after lesnar get a lil more expierience. ur man bratley from chicago!!!!
Edge Crusher, you can't just tweak your BJJ in a few months to become great, especially after showing the skills he has. Have you ever trained BJJ? BJ Penn has been doing jiu jitsu for a long time, since his early teenage years. Jiu Jitsu takes a long time to get good at know matter how quick of a learner you are. You can never know enough, there is always room for improvement and Lesnar wont be a great fighter until he has a year or two more of Jiu Jitsu under his belt. He may win some fights against other strikers or ground and pounders. But most that are well versed in BJJ will do the submit him.
look he'd have to learn bjj for years to play catch up. also the heart of a fighter isn't determined by skill but by desire. if he's so strong why didn't he get out of that knee bar? frank was on the side of the leg as well. quit talking about the point deduction he tapped out. why is everyone a fan of the giant steriod monger anyway? i'm sick of lesnar, put him against heath herring, that kid will smash him.
steve mazagatti is a fu$king granny's as$hole! his only redeming quality is his mustache
Lesnar is a physical specimen, but he needs to concentrate more on rounding his skills than his biceps.
For your information I have been training MMA for 4 years and before that I had 27 amatuer boxing bouts. I've been hit in the back of the head accidently and intentionally before, I agree it does hurt and is'nt safe, but the point deductiion was harsh.
Don't be so disrespectful of other peoples opinions…
When was your last fight BIG MOUTH?!!
wow brock had him owned, mir had to pull off a LUCKY submission
The only way mir can beat brock lesnar is by submission only that fight proved it."A submission is an easy way out of getting your ass kicked isn't it frank"
Tommy – He was warned before that and if you fight you know that once your warned you can't do it again. He did! A point was deducted. My last fight was 2 months ago, an amatuer mma bout. Being hit with boxing gloves is a lot different. My buddy I train with was hurt during competition due to strikes in the back of the head, he's ok now but had to go to the hospital multiple times to get MRI's and such things done. How many MMA fights have you had over your 4 year course? Do you disregard what a ref tells you? I wasn't being disrespectful to other peoples opinions I was explaining why Steve shouldn't be getting the flack that he is.
Who ever said Mir's submission was lucky needs to watch the fight again and see how it was beautifully set up. As for who ever said that the only way Mir could win was by submission is an idiot also. Thats all I have to say about that. I would be embarrassed if I was stupid enough to post that comment.
For a rookie he was beating up the former champ.
He should have just stepped back and beat him for 3 rounds.
If they fight again Brock will overpower him and win.
He showed class in the loss kudos to Mir he escaped with his life. Mir did not look good!
Brock looked great just a rookie mistake.
Chris Brock must be a 6th grader. "The only way"… Huh?…
It's MMA bonehead…
Hey Smashed…
My bad. After I made that first post I saw you had written some more and agree with many of your points.
It was just the bitter WWE fans thing that got me going.
I've had 7 MMA bouts 3-2-1-1nc… Not a world beatingf record but I do love the sport.
My first post was a bit full on, so as a man I appologize
i think Barack Lesnar should go back on Raw to fight
I do hope these 2 gentlemen meet again, because a "2 outta 3″ WILL sell tickets!
Oh, Brockie, baybee — I hope your trainer has you watching films and working on your "defense".
Your offense is getter much better!
Por favor, Brock, no mas "Tappity Tap Tap Tap".
To everybody that says brock should have let frank up look- brock is a wrestler since he was like 8. thats what he does thats where he feels comftorable is on top. his striking skill suck as much as his juijitsu apparently(Well back in the mir fight at least.) his goal is to get guys on there back and dominate them. He just left a leg open. Silly mistake that I'm sure alot of rookie wrestlers would make. Stop hatin on brock just cuz hes a freak athelete he's gettin the skillz he needs to become the best. honestly if he fights anybody but mir(and maybe minotauro nogeria) he would beat the hell out of him. The guys a tank and is unstoppable but his juijitsu is still is only hole in his game in my opinion
Was for frank in the fight but after seeing the way he won I feel robbed of being able to watch a waffle stomp ground and pound. Mazagatti gave that fight to Mir. Way worse and more intentional hits to the back of the head happen all the time and they never take away point and let there be a recovery time. Hate to say it but I hope brock finishes the job he started in 100.
This is my first time pay a visit at here and i am in fact pleassant to read everthing at single place.

Agent Cat decides that she wants to join the Squash and Stretch Gym, desperately wanting to meet Coach Z. She has no idea what she's getting into when she joins. (The chapters range from R-MA excep...
"Well you're an early Visitor." he said with a smirk. Agent cat just stood there, blushing and staring at him. "Are you gonna say something or are you just gonna stand there and blush?" Agent Cats knees felt like Jelly.
"Are you Coach Zucchini?" Agent cat asked. The Coach nodded.
"You can call me Coach Z for short."
"Oh okay. I would like to join your gym." Coach Z looked at her.
"You do look like you could use some training..." Coach Z teased.
"Yeah... I could use some...." Agent cat said.
"Well before anything, I'll need to know your amount of laff and the gags that you have."
"Okay! I have 73 laff points, Pixie dust, quicksand, a $10 dollar lure, a wedding cake, a storm cloud, and an anvil!" Agent Cats tail was waving in the air.
"Yikes... no sound huh?" Coach Z said. Agent Cat blushed harder. "Oh well. At least you have lure and toonup. Now stop blushing you're making me feel awkward."
"Sorry!" Agent Cat said.
"No problem. Anyways, let me tell you one thing," he said as he walked up to her. "When it's 45 degrees outside it's probably best not to wear short shorts. Now, if you are going to join my gym, you will be required to come everyday from 7-10pm. It's late, I know. Of course you can skip out if you are sick or f there is a family emergency. We will let you take a couple weeks off as vacation, if you wish. Intuition is free, and you will be able to socialize with the other toons in the program." the coach took out a contract. "Just sign here, and you're in." he handed agent cat a pen. She quickly signed it and gave the contract back to him. "Alright Agent Cat. I'll see you later tonight. And please, don't wear super short shorts or tiny tank tops, I know everyone else in the group very well, and they would hit on you like there was no tomorrow. I will give you a uniform tomorrow night."
"Oh thank you Coach Z! I promise I won't disappoint you!!!" Agent Cat said before skipping out.
"I bet you won't!" Coach Z called after her.
When Agent Cat got back to her estate, she jumped for joy. "I GOT INTO COACH Z'S GYM!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she went to her bedroom and fell on her bed. "And he was so hot....." she felt herself get wet. "He had such a sexy figure....." she looked at the clock. It was only noon. She changed her shorts and got out her phone. She dialed the number of Vanilla, her best friend. Agent invited her out to lunch and then the mall. Then possible after that some cog fighting. Vanilla accepted, and they had a day of fun. When Agent Cat got back home, she got undressed and got in the shower. She started thinking about Coach Z again, and she spent the rest of her shower getting clean and masturbating to her fantasies. Agent Cat woke up at around 8am. She stretched and got out of bed. She brushed her fur and got dressed. She made herself breakfast and she went outside to go fishing. She caught some clown fish and horse mackerel. She was fishing longer then she thought. When she went inside she realized that it was 6:30. She quickly changed into jeans and a T-shirt and headed to the Squash and Stretch Gym.

unpopular opinion; the musical had no right to be as good as it was. I think one of the only reasons it, and the album, were any good was because the cast and crew were utterly fantastic, and I think the cast are far more talented than Billie Joe could ever hope to be.

Observer review
the observer Sun 11 January 2009
Shortly after the death of his wife Joan in 2005, poet Dannie Abse began keeping a diary, making his first entry on his 82nd birthday. The resulting collection of tentative memoir and meditation proves an unexpected victory over Abse's natural urge to retreat into inertia and wordlessness. "Just thinking about Joan turns me over," he says, "including writing this." Abse finds himself terrified of driving (he was in the car accident that killed his wife) and even of leaving his local Hampstead. But amid his sparse, tender encapsulations of grief - "Joan is nowhere and no white freesias will ever again grace this house in Golders Green" - he manages to voyage into his literary past, finding increasing consolation.
Guardian review
the guardian Fri 17 October 2008
There are no chapters in this book, just dates. It is the story of one man's year as he struggles to make sense of a life without his wife of more than 50 years. The book opens with the obituary of Joan Abse, killed instantly in a car crash in June 2005. Throughout the book her husband will recall countless details of the accident that took "in one unpredictable moment, my lover, my ally, and my friend". You yearn for the respite of a chapter break, but there are none, just as there is "no happy ending". The reader has to come to terms with that, as does Abse, this famous poet and doctor, who carries on giving readings and attempting to watch football but whose mind is always occupied in recollection. There is some humour, and inconsequential details, practicalities and outbursts. Accounts of buying trousers, walking in the park and seeing friends are interspersed with memories of Joan and others; and with poems, anecdotes and stories which seem to appear in random order, as in a commonplace book, but which beautifully, painfully convey the intertwining filaments of two lives.

The shapes gig poster - VectorTuts+ community projectThe aim was to build a gig poster for a fictionnal band (with a name related to vector stuff). I decided to do it in a fun and unconventional way.I live in Lille (North of france) and there are a lot of small bands. A lot of bands that promote themselves by putting posters on the street. But the problem is that they all look the same, and your eye is rarely attracted.So I thought : "Why not making something which in context, will be eye-catching, and funny ?" and also an object that people would keep. So I decided to present that factice rock band in a kind of "manual", that you could read to know more about them and their music. With a touch of humor :)
Work in progress : Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tribute
I'm currently working at a tribute poster to my favourite band : BRMC… Here is the first look.
Retro Session - Back to 2009 (part 3)And the last one of the series : Tonight.It's always funny to take a look at what you've done by the past. You can find some elements that you forgot, and that you could incorporate into your new works, and some others that are just mistakes :)But I really think that mistakes are always good, particularly in that field, where you have to question yourself frequently. What worked yesterday, won't probably work today, and what don't work today, will probably work in the future.I guess that's why we have things that we call trends, or the "hype". I remember that one of my teacher told me, when I was at school, to never be afraid to experiment, and to always be curious. He told us to never stay in one particular state of mind, to always push further, and to test. Sometimes, you'll be wrong, he said, sometimes, you'll be right. But at least, you will be able to find the right answer for a client, through what you learnt.That's what I tried to do, from those past days until now. And it was always a great fun…
