UFC 100 Preview: The Main Card
The most intensively anticipated rematch in the tournament Today definitely comes to fruition, as Lesnar looks to avenge his offering impairment to Mir at UFC 81 and simultaneously uncut his improbable run to the UFC’s obvious heavyweight championship. Not much has changed since the fundamental dustup; Lesnar’s still built like a cross of Alexander Karelin and Megatron, while Mir relies on his meekness savvy and surprising striking. This stint really hinges on what Lesnar will do with his hugely superior wrestling. If Lesnar’s percipience is as powerful as his hyperactive mouth, he will use that pedigree to protect this bout from turning into a grappling meet.
For all of Lesnar’s corporeal dominance and pure talent, he still botched a underlying kneebar Defense in his spree with Mir, and that suspect submission Defense remains a responsibility until proven otherwise. While this scrum is a coin flip on the mat — it would come down to Lesnar’s adrenaline-injected ground-and-pound and Mir’s timidity bold — Lesnar’s speed and strength Makes him the far more risky striker. If Lesnar has the discernment to turn this into a kickboxing match, Mir will be stuck annoying to survive the onslaught while searching for a takedown. Odds are Lesnar’s fist will realize Mir’s gray be important long before Mir ever finds that takedown.
The X Factor: Come conflict time, Lesnar will be a 280-some-odd-pound close off of Muscle, and one has to gawk how long his cardio can provoke all that mass against a live opponent. It’s one fad to slap around a fringe contender like for three rounds and definitely another to do the same against a top-tier contender. At this point, Lesnar is still lore on the fly, and he has not yet figured out how to transcribe all his physical talent in a sport that requires so much Complex acumen. The early wealthy will be rough for Mir, but if he can hold his own and Force Lesnar to Master-work for everything he gets, there’s no easier concession Scalp than a gassed-out wrestler. *** The Bottom Line: Watching Lesnar’s take a stand against with at UFC 91, you envisage a fighter starting to turn into the transition from genetic sideshow to trained Athlete. That does not foreshadow well for Mir.
The prospect of Lesnar losing his composure and thriving for a bull rush takedown will always be there, but there’s no attest to Mir could cinch a surrender before getting steamrolled. Regardless, expect Lesnar to stay this Fight standing and send Mir to bed without his dinner in poor Order.
