I'm calling it now, Lesnar wins the the Mir/Nog fight. Bank on it.
Lesnar only lost to Mir because he had zero composure, he looked like a guy getting pussy for the first time, all rush rush no thought involved. In the last two fight's he's stressed composure and in doing so dominated Herring and cleanly beat a UFC legend.
Go back to round one of last night's fight. Lesnar had just passed Couture's guard into a mount (that in itself is huge). Couture reverses and nearly climbs atop Lesnar's back, then something I would have never guessed Lesnar was capable of happened. Lesnar reversed Couture's reverse and went right back to a dominating position.
That, not the knockout, not winning the title, was the most impressive thing Lesnar did IMO
We all talk freely about how great a wrestler Couture is, and rightly so. He's an impressive wrestler, assistant coach at Oregon St, Olympic alternate. Probably the best wrestler in MMA (sorry Hughes). Lesnar's counter didn't happen from his strength, it was pure technique. Lesnar won a NCAA championship but Couture wrestled on a world level. I defy anyone to show me a video of Couture getting out wrestled in the Octagon, before last night you won't find it. THAT is something to write home about.
