Uh Couture, Herring and Mir? There is only 1 WWE guy worth talking about right now. Who are these "guys" you speak of?
No shit..... 3 fights and 3 very very recognizable opponents. Realistically, with the exception of Nog, Lesnar has fought the best the UFC has to offer at HW in my opinion. The bottom line is that being matched against Mir right out of the gate was a huge statement. And let's be further honest about it. If Lesnar wasn't MMA ready, there is no way he beats Herring. Herring ain't top 10, but he can be a reality check for any newcomer.
Lesnar might even have beaten Mir in that fight if not for that idiot Mazagatti stopping the match in the middle while Lesnar's slamming fists down on Mir's face.
My only problem with that rationale is that Lesnar was on top again and raining down hammer fist right before Mir caught that leg. Mir is as dangerous on the ground as any HW in the world. Lesnar was never out of danger.
True story. What do you do when you're pounding a guys face into the ground and he turns his back? Lesnar wasn't trying to hit the back of the head, he was trying to hit anywhere he could. If not for that stand up, Lesnar would have pounded Mir out right then. I wouldn't think twice about picking Lesnar in a rematch. He'd mop the floor with Mir if a rematch ever happens.
No doubt, Lesnar eats Mir for lunch if a rematch is ever made. But I doubt it will, Nog should beat him fairly easily
I don't see how Mir can beat Nog. Nog is just better at everything. Especially conditioning. Mir must really hate cardio. He better be working his ass off if he wants to have any chance. Once it goes past 2 rounds Mir is done.
