if lesnar will get with a striking camp and learn submission defense the next time you see him loose will be about 8 yrs from now.

Lesner Ncaa champ and four time all american at Minnesota. Look at Josh Koscheck. He as well was a good college wrestler and he has what   1 loss. Lesner is no doubt the stronger fighter. I think it will be a pretty boring fight and mostly on the ground. Lesner will get the decision

He lost his 1st fight back by getting whipped by Cruz (a scrub), then lost his 2nd fight by decison, well he should of, but the judges gave him a "We feel sorry that you hurt your leg" decision.  Vera crushed him and then he finally got a true win against Hardonk, another scrub, which he was still in trouble. 

 

I think he's worried about his leg as he doesn't look NEARLY like the fighter he once was.

 

With all that being said, I don't know how in the hell Brock Lesnar could be almost a 2-1 favorite with out even fighting a decent fighter.   I know he has awesome wrestling skills, but, we'll just have to see what he really has.  Mir has tremendous value, imo.

 

 

After watching the fight, I think Lesnar has potential...but needs some tune ups fights against heavyweights that aren't former Champs.  He has to learn the ropes and definitely work on not getting in a choke or leg lock, his biggest weakness.

 

I was lucky enough to get Mir at +160.  I also have the Mania at +185,  Was just hoping for one of the two to win for profit, now I'm being greedy!!!

 

Good luck fellas~~

i agree... he need to respect everyone's bjj and not "not respect"  bjj as he was saying
 
but if you have been a fan of mma you will know that weight and strength wont win you fights on its own

i think it would take 8 years from now by the time he learns to strike and learn submission defense

HOPE u r kidding no way lesnar needs more than 12 mo tops to be The force in mma heavyweight, he doesnt need any ground offense, doesnt need anything but basic defense and basic striking his power is once in a generation

half joking.... he has already had two years and i wasn't that impressed (althouhg i do think he can become pretty good).  i dont think he will ever become a good standup fighter, his punching seems awkward and slow and is way too far behind in bjj for his age (i think he is 30) and in this day and age you cant be one dimensional.  i see him becoming a coleman type of figher who back in the day was very dominant with his wrestling and gnp, but now is just average
