Anyone getting this. I'd like to get it just to see the 2 heavyweight fights.
I think both will end up very good fights. I can't stand Sylvia and agree that he is tentative and doesn't come to finish fights. Nog is not that kind of fighter at all. Nogueira is the only reason this fight will be exciting.

Lesnar v. Mir - I can somewhat understand why everyone seems to want Lesnar to lose, having been affiliated with the WWE and all, but he was a "real" wrestler for the Uni of Minnesota, plus he's from my home state, so I want to see him go out there and completely dominate. I think he is one of the most athletic heavyweights ever and has an endless amount of potential.

UFC 81

I think provided that Lesnar doesn't do anything stupid, he should smash Mir.

Now Nog, on the other hand, hasn't looked so great lately. This fight may not go so well for him. I hope it does, but I'm concerned it won't.

well, one thing nog has going for him is he can take a punch, as seen in his fights with Crocop, herring, and fedor. Hopefully he's stepped it up a notch since his last fight and breaks Sylvia's other arm.

Finally someone posted too. I swear this forum is almost dead with such little activity.

Too much credit is being given to a Lesnar,I think he has a very good chance of losing to Mir.

I do not buy into the size/strength contention WRT Lesnar's "advantage".

On account of all the WWE white trash fucks who will no doubt be living vicariously through Lesnar,I for one would like to see Lesnar lose the fight.

I haven't seen this Nog character fight but I don' particularly like Silvia.

Off the cuff,I would like to see my homeslice Forrest Griffin fight again in an upcoming UFC,it's been a while.

Unless I'm at a bar that has the fights on TV tonight I'll save my money and watch the replay on Spike.

Griffin won't be fighting for awhile. he's been slotted to be a coach on the next season of TUF along with Rampage. Rampage and Griffin will fight at the end of the season. So expect that to be around July.

I definitely don't think it's only size/strength with Lesnar. The guy really is one of the most athletic HW's you'll ever see. He's got speed and agility, on top of the size and strength. I think it's definitely possible he loses to a submission. If he gets put into that position I'll be really curious to see how long it takes him to tap out. He seems like someone who would rather get his arm broke then submit.

Also on the undercard:

Jeremy Horn v. Nate Marquardt
Ricardo Almeida v. Rob Yundt
Gleison Tibau v. Tyson Griffin
Tim Boetsch v. David Heath
Marvin Eastman v. Terry Martin
Keita Nakamura v. Rob Emerson
Chris Lytle v. Kyle Bradley

I would like to see Lesnar win so the arrogant "living vicariously through" MMA fighters wannabes STFU about it.

And too much credit towards Lesnar? He's got more credentials than most in the UFC I'd imagine. The man walked away from millions because he actually wants to compete again. That deserves some respect in my opinion.

105-6 amateur wrestling record. that in itself is impressive

well, submitted via knee bar in the 1st. Looks like Mir is working his way back up and getting back to his old self.

Nog submitted Sylvia as well, but not without taking a beating in order to get there. Maybe Randy will come back in order to face him now.

Lesnar just needs more MMA experience. As you saw, he can pound the fuck out of someone. Dont like the sword tat though.

Yeah, the penis dagger is bad form, but just as I thought would happen, he smashed Mir and then made a stupid mistake.

And good for Nog, taking down the Ogre.
