Frank Mir ( spoiler )

what did you guys think about his fight?
what do you think is next for him?

Do you think there is a possibility of him becoming a contender in the HW division again?

I'm just gonna go ahead and save myself the dissapointment and already assume he fails his post-fight test for PEDs.

I think Mir is only hanging around for the potential Lesnar 3 fight.

which from all i have been reading is probably not going to happen. He seems contempt to stay in pro wrestling but has plans of leaving wwe and doing what Josh Barrnett did and do japan pro wrestling. They love there big,huge white wrestlers (not being racist but it's true) and they pay big $$$ to get them over there.

But will NJPW pay as much as the UFC currently would? They are dying for a big name so much so that they signed CM PUNK for Christ sakes. Mir/Lesnar III would rake in the $, especially now with Mir seeming more relevant with his big KO. I think Brock comes back and a W over Mir puts him right back in the top 10 now. Which would be UFC's wet dream right now.

Am I the only one who has literally zero interest in seeing Mir/Lesnar 3?

The first fight was obviously a fluke/Mir catching Lesnar at an extremely green time in his MMA career.
I'm betting a third fight would look a lot like the second fight, except even worse for Mir (if that's possible).

Oh I don't see it going any different. I just know there is always tons of buzz behind trilogies and especially one that would have Lesnar. A lot of people are interested all over the place to see it happen... and hell I wouldn't mind seeing it. Just to see if there is any thing that's changed in the time that's passed. Doubtful, but I would watch just for that... and to see Lesnar go Donkey Kong mode.

Well it would most certainly be a a great fight for Lesnar to get back in the door. It's basically the perfect marketing strategy for Lesnar: A trilogy, against a guy Lesnar has history with, who is coming off of a big win, yet still is very beatable for Lesnar.

Sure beats having to come back and get lit up by Reem or Cain again right away.

Mir with good striking is a tough fight for brock imo. we know mir could sub him if he was in position. we know brock could smother him and gnp him for 5 rounds. But we dont know how the striking would go on the feet. Mir seems confodent and openly campaigned for the 3rd brock fight. id love to see it. but brock would be a fool to sign with ufc again
