MMA over the weekend: Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar in Review
I know that a lot of us were pretty stoked to see the Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar rematch over the weekend.
For anyone who hasn’t heard, Brock won by knockout in the second round.
Some interesting points on the fight though:
1- I was surprised at how well Mir was able to keep Lesnar at distance on the feet. It seemed like he had Brock a bit worried. I don’t know if Frank could have knocked him out, but I was impressed.
2- The ability for Lesnar to easily takedown Mir was no real surprise. Unfortunately, neither wa the fact that once they were on the ground Lesnar was able to use strength and that wrestling balance to keep him there… But Lesnar still hasn’t really learned much on his ground game. He had strange holds, and passed up several submissions (like the Americana) several times. Anyone wit a real ground game would have capitalized on it.
3- Regardless of tactical ground skill, Lesnar balance and his amazing punching power ended the fight. I think this really was the most likely way for this fight to go.
4- Lesnar’s WWE style persona sucks. He needs to just be a real person.
