Check UFC.com and you will see his first opponent has been named as former UFC HW champ Frank Mir.
This could be brutal for Brock if Mir comes in, in shape

I agree, but it is a surprisingly difficult matchup for someone as new.
Without a doubt. This is a very tough match for him. Mir is no slouch. I would not be suprised at all if Mir submits him quickly.
Are saying that you would take Frank Mir in a stand-up fight? Have you ever seen Mir's stand-up?? Granted, there is not telling where Lesnar is at, but it is ludicrous to say that Mir should keep it on the feet.Mir has been doing nothing but WEC shows. He has not been the same since his motorcycle crash. He was on top of the world then and since has been trying to find his way back to the top.
Brock is a gifted athlete that is for sure. It will be exciting to watch a former WWE super star get in a real fight. I have seen the fight he had against some asian guy that he walked through.
Tuff call I would not want to go to the ground with either. Brock is balanced as all hell but Mir has the know how to submit.
On the feet have to give it to Mir.
I'd be inclined to say Franklin, or Sylvia, or Hughes, or GSP are former champions. The Frank Mir now is a far cry from the Frank Mir who was champion. Brock's first Asian opponent was simply a no-name brand tomato can, whereas Mir is a shy upgrade to a Campbell's Soup tomato can. Slightly more luster and name recognition, slightly higher quality, but the result will be the same.Somebody please bump this thread when the fight is over. I think a lot of you Brock pickers are going to have egg on your face. The dude has only 1 fight, against a tomato can.
I think his potential is enormous, but look at all those other sport athletes Pride brought into tournaments - they all got crushed in every fight. Brock needs at least 4-5 fights to stand a realistic chance against a former UFC champion.
I watched the Mir vs Hardonk fight again last night. Against Lesnar, there is no possible way I see Mir pulling the same stuff he did on Hardonk.Somebody please bump this thread when the fight is over.

UFC 81 I believe. Feb 2008.Any idea on which UFC this is goin down at?
thanks. cant waitUFC 81 I believe. Feb 2008.
Mir's mouth doesn't bother me at all, it's his crappy fighting that kills me.Im excited to see this. Even if his skills are raw, with the brute strength and natural abililty Lesnar has, as well as the wrestling background, im gonna say he's going to win it ground n pound. I really hope so too, so Mir will shut his mouth if nothing else.
Agreed. I don't see how anyone could have a problem with Mir's personality, he tells it like it is, pretty logical/reasonable dude.Mir is right in his analysis of this, he said his only way to win is by sub early. He also said Lesnar will just take him down and lay on him, I still say Brock by tko rd 1
Yeah, except your first names are backwards. As much as I hate that big Blind-Date attending freak, he'd smash Mir.Mir>Silvia, Silvia>Vera, Vera>Mir , the triangle of doom! Lesnar brutally beats down Mir once gaining position via sheer stength and cardio. Are my greater than's the right way? lol.
I agree, Mir is a great representative of the sport. He is very well spoken and sharp witted.Agreed. I don't see how anyone could have a problem with Mir's personality, he tells it like it is, pretty logical/reasonable dude.
