    That's what i wanna see now. Sylvia can't submit him as easily as Mir did and i think Lesnar could just throw him around a bit.

    Brock's not ready.I'm impressed by what he's learned so far but I would like for him to fight fighters on his level for awhile,people will still pay to see him fight.

    i think they might make a Sylvia/Mir rematch now. The winner gets another title shot.

    Yeah, Lesnar is too crude. A couple more fights till he starts fighting the best.

    Doesn't Mir seem like a bad matching choice now? It's easy for me to 2nd guess in retrospect, but matching Brock with a submission expert in his 2nd MMA fight just seems stupid.

    Wasn't Tank Abbott available? :lol:

    I agree completely. A BJJ expert is a terrible matchup for a wrestler with 1 MMA fight experience.

    They gambled on giving Lesnar a name for his resume. They lost, but for awhile they looked really smart.

    Just watched the fight last night I thought Lesnar did really well. He was a little too eager and he got caught but no shame in the way in which he lost. Fighting an ex champ was a bad idea.

    I think Mir will fight Sylvia next. Lesnar will probably face Eddie Sanchez, or someone similiar.

    I gotta say I was disappointed Tim lost. He dominated the 1st round, won the second, and was winning the 3rd until he got caught. He'll be back though.

    It's funny he looked better in defeat then he has winning as of late.

    And if Lesnar can ever learn the finer points of MMA fighting, he's gonna be a beast. He just mauled Mir until the leglock. He's got amazing strength and awesome takedowns.

    Who knows, this loss may be the best thing to ever happen to Lesnar. Now he knows he can't just rely on his natural abilities and wrestling, and he has to learn submissions and learn how to defend them. He can't be a 1 dimensional fighter, no matter how big and strong that dimension is.

    The point is Antonio's been in that situation before only to comeback and win by submission.Tim's not the only one thats happened too and he won't be the last.
