Hey guys. This weekend UFC 81 is featuring Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir! This one is guaranteed to be a “Slobber Knocker”.
Brock Lesnar is a former WWE champ and is a two-time NCAA All American wrestler. In addition to that he has also f-5′d a shark in the weeks leading up to Summer Slam. This isn’t his first MMA match, but it’s the first time he’s face real competition. Brock Lesnar is dangerous but can he be the “The Next Big Thing” in MMA?
Not if Frank Mir has anything to say about it. Frank Mir is no tomato can. He broke a Tim Sylvia’s arm to become heavyweight champion of UFC’s heavy weight division in 2004 at UFC 48 - Payback (Coincidently, Tim is fighting for his 3rd championship on the same card). Since then he suffered a motorcycle accident and has been slowly returning to form. If he can finish Brock on Saturday night he will have returned to the upper ranks of the heavy weight division.
Will the pro wrestler make a jobber out of mix martial artist? Will Frank Mir return to form and solidify his come back in a way a scripted match never can? We’ll all find out on Saturday.
