LESNAR TO FACE MIR AT UFC 81

Newly signed heavyweight Brock Lesnar will make his debut in the Octagon against former champion Frank Mir, in a official match-up for UFC 81 taking place Feb. 2 in Las Vegas.
Lesnar was announced as a part of the organization at UFC 77. Just weeks later his opponent has been named and now the former WWE and University of Minnesota wrestling star will make his Octagon debut.

“I just want to find out a name, get a face, and be able to watch his previous fights and then just start training everyday to dismantle my opponent,” said Lesnar in an interview just a week ago before Mir was named as his opponent. Lesnar vs. Mir will garner much attention, not only in the MMA world, but also among fans that followed Lesnar as an NCAA wrestling champion to his stint as a professional wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment. I have to admit I would love to see a Lesnar vs. Kimbo Slice fight, that would break every PPV sports event record in history. That is Far down the road if it ever happens.
