dman Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 no worries about Mir\Lesnar, unfortunately Mir is going to get knocked out by Carwin....Its another case of power because mir is technically better than both of them...Carwin has insane power and Mir buckles under clean shots - a clean shot from carwin is lights out for anybody as he has proved by knocking out every one of his opponents in the UFC in the 1st round....I am rooting for Mir since i would love to see him beat Lesnar again. carwin vs lesnar on the other hand may be a great scrap. Carwin too has great wrestling and just might give lesnar a hard time - Carwin will knock him out too Quote
-nick- Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Nick That was all hype. They will say anything to get people to order the fight. He's in a lot better shape now than he was for the second fight. I'm not saying he's easily going to be able to take Lesnar out, but he has A LOT better shot than he did before. I knew when he was facing Mir that Mir was probably going to lose. Lesnar is going to have a really hard time taking Mir out on the next fight. it wasn't all hype...it stemmed from mir himself...mir was certainly convinced of his improved greatness after beating a sick nog... mir beating kongo doesn't say alot to me...kongo's a gatekeeper and 1 dimensional...he hasn't evolved at all...mir should of beat him easily & did...just as brock would of most likely crushed kongo with ease... maybe the carwin/mir fight will show me something different in mir...but carwin doesn't train full time and hasn't fought in a year...and pretty much has fought all tomato cans except 1...so i won't be surprised at all with the mir win...just depends what game plan carwin has...does carwin follow brocks lead on how to beat mir?...does mir fight smart or does he try & stoke his ego by trying to stand & trade with carwin?...its going to be a good fight none the less... mir bulking up doesn't = improved or better shape necessarily...theres alot of negatives that come with added bulk...you lose speed, rang of motion/flexibility and muscle endurance...bigger muscles need more oxygen to function...mir will never match brocks raw power, agility & speed at the bigger size...thats where brock is a unique freak of nature... its not like brock will be static from now til the possible match up...brock will be equally prepared and will have that much more training time behind him and will have naturally progressed as well...as fighters should, but some don't... i simply think that brock is mirs kryptonyte...honestly, brock has beat him up both fights...and i don't see the 3rd being any different...but in a fight anything can happen...mir stopping the white rhino's take downs?...don't know bout that, hasn't worked well thus far...once brock has top control and uses his far superior wrestling...mir is done... as much as mir thinks talking trash will get into the head of his opponent(brock)...sure it works with some...but i think its a mistake poking the bear in brock...i think it has the opposite effect...the ironic part imo is that brock is actually in mir's head in the way mir would want it in brocks lol... Your posts are getting too long for me haha but that part is what I read and yeah, it was hype. Mir talking crap acting like he's ready for the fight makes people excited. Do you think as many people would have paid to watch it if he was in the same shape as the first fight? No way. Quote
-nick- Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 sorry for the over wordiness...i get internet a.d.d myself theres always the hype machine at work, thats marketing 101...but i stand by the fact mir himself did honestly believe in his vastly improved greatness etc... I really believe Mir didn't care for Lesnar. I really believe Mir felt like he could win again but knew it wouldn't be as easy that time. I also believe Dana needed a way to get people to order that fight. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 22, 2010 Super User Posted January 22, 2010 All fighters think they can beat anybody and they speak/talk trash like they can. Why wouldn't they? Quote
