Lesnar and Sylvia dissapoint

Brock Lesnar started off like a bat out of hell. He had Frank Mir down in a matter of seconds and was successfully pounding the shit out of him. Too bad for Lesnar his inexperience led to him hitting Frank in the back of the head two or three times. Once he would have got away with, two or three they will seperate and give a penalty point. Lesnar looked good for the first thirty seconds of his UFC debut, but inexperienced in the last thirty seconds.

Mir sunk in a successful ankle lock and made Brock tapout with a pained look on his face. We should see Brock again soon. Hopefully Mir will get a title shot or another fight soon.

Tim Sylvia was beaten with a punctuation mark by Noguiera. Noguiera even looked beat at one point. Bleeding from the face he found it inside himself to submit the huge beast and get himself a title. Noguiere joins Quinton Jackson as the second fighter to come from the former Pride FC and win a belt in the UFC.

Can Lesnar get it done against Mir?

Brock Lesnar is what we in the geek world call an ‘Uber Athlete’.  After declining to play in the NFL Europe he chose to take on the world of mixed martial arts.  He has one fight under his belt with a quick win.  He took his opponent down (no shocker) and then proceeded to give him the ground n pound beating of his life (still no shocker).

Does Lesnar have more than a take down and ground n pound?  Maybe not, but I doubt he needs anything else.  He takes on Frank Mir, former heavyweight champ, and current Brazilian JJ black belt.  Mir has the advantage on submissions.  He has the advantage on his feet with experience.  Lesnar is a collegiate wrestling star and former WWE wrestling star.  He has been training and should know how to throw a real punch by Saturday.

What will this fight come down to you ask?  Who freaking knows.  Lesnar should be able to bully anyone at this weight.  The guy is a freaking beast with the cardio of a japanese lightweight.  But how much does experience play a role in this fight?  Frank Mir owns the experience and the ability.

Our predictions for this fight….. buy the ppv, order some pizza and drink something frothy and cold.  This is going to be one hell of a fight.  Lesnar will win in the first 2 minutes by ground and pound tko or Mir will win if it lasts longer than two minutes.

Our prediction for the Tim Sylvia vs Noguiera fight: Sylvia will win by KO or TKO in the second round.  Too bad too because we would really rather someone else have the belt besides Sylvia.
