UFC 100

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think Lesnar wins, with minimal effort.

Quick takedown, pounds Mir's face with those meat hooks, no fake standup to save him this time.

Also, I want to see Coleman/Bonner. Why is Alan Belcher on the biggest show in UFC history? They should have saved Akiyama's debut for a less loaded show where he can make more of an impresion in peoples minds. Nobody will pay attention to that fight in the bars.

i think belcher is a good first opponent for akiyama. hes coming off a very impressive victory over kang. akiyama is the ufc's ticket into the korean market so it makes sense they put him on a huge card like this.

Man im pumped up.

I dont think Brock will go for a takedown until later in the 1st round, he probably thinks he can just throw his jab/cross combo and KO Mir, he doesnt want to bring Mir down to early and get subbed again, Mir has a better chance early for a sub with the lack of sweat

I think Mir subs him later with a rolling kneebar from the turtle position

So your saying that when Akiyama comes out to opera music the guys in hooters wont go nuts for the japanese guy in pajama's they never seen?

I'll tell you what, I know there hillbilly girl friends with be jamming buffalo wings up there snatch while Akiyama is leaving the ring with his hand held high

I wish Tito was doing the commentary and post fight interview so I can hear him say "Frank Mir, you are the greatest Heavyweight in MMA.....of the night'

For the internet show that no one sees, or for intensive analysis on SportsCenter?

I'll go with the former.

Like I said, Mir is looking to break something

Ken Hahn is not a well-known MMA trainer to casual fans the way Greg Jackson is, but those who know the sport well know that he has an excellent reputation as a striking coach. Hahn has been working with Frank Mir for years, so it's interesting to hear his comments about where Mir stands in the last few days leading up to his UFC 100 matchup with Brock Lesnar.


Hahn told RawVegas.tv that Mir will be the biggest he's ever been while also being in the best shape. It is difficult to put on size and also improve stamina, but Hahn is convinced his charge is ready to potentially go five rounds with the 280-pound Lesnar.

"We really established his training," Hahn said. "He's doing nothing but training. Basically, the biggest thing was switching from being a fighter to a martial artist. If you're a fighter, then you just train whenever your fight comes up, but a martial artist trains day-in, day-out regardless of whether he has a fight or not. So he's in better shape now because of that mentality."

Mir has been accused in the past of being lazy in training camp and not putting in maximum effort. Hahn agreed that there was some element of truth to that criticism, but said that Mir, who recently turned 30, is more mature now and understands that his physical gifts alone cannot win every fight.

Clearly confident in Mir's chances, at around the three-minute mark, Hahn gives his prediction for the fight and says, "this time, we're not going to let him go. We're going to break something."

"I'd like to punch that fuckin mustache right off of his face" is the single greatest line in MMA history.

sidenote/fact: Lesnar has a deal with UFC that states he will never participate in a fight officiated by Mazzagati ever again. I don't know how they can pull that off, since the athletic commissions assign the refs, but whatever.

[Champ]

Didnt know that about Lesner.
