UFC 81
ChadTower:
So placing second in NCAA Div 1 in 1999 and winning it in 2000 don't do anything for you?
In a funny bit of info... the guy who beat Lesnar in 1999 for that championship? Stephen Neal, starting guard, New England Patriots. :)

I think Lesnar is going to win on saturday and I think he's got the tools to become really good. Most MMA fans are mad that he gets to go to the front of the line with no real MMA experience. Chad is correct about him having legit wrestling credentials.

I'm sure he's roided plenty in his day, but you can't deny his legit wrestling skill. His biggest problem will be defending Mir's submissions. I think Mir is a great test to see if Lesnar is for real or not.

Good article about Mir:

--- Quote ---He is confident about his chances facing Lesnar, but he’s also realistic as to what he needs to do to pull off a win in this pivotal heavyweight match-up.
“Definitely a finish cause that’s the only way I’m going to win,” said Mir. “I’m not going to out-wrestle Lesnar for 15 minutes and put him on his back and hold him down. So for me to win I either have to take his arm or neck, or knock him upside his head.”

a good wrestler who's been seriously training in avoiding submission is really hard to submit. That's why Mark Kerr was Abu Dhabi champ back in the days. He'd just take guys down and kill their movement. If you can't move your hips, you ain't submitting anybody.
Depending on how good Lesnar's boxing is, this fight might never even hit the ground.
