Mir Submits Lesnar


Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir survived a vicious onslaught by the former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar to lock in a tight ankle lock forcing the tap at 1:30 of the first round. For the last several months, questions were raised whether Brock Lesnar had the skill set to compete at the top level of the sport. All questions were answered Saturday night. As Lesnar engaged Mir, the former professional wrestler mauled his opponent with a fast takedown. After landing a flurry of crushing shots, referee Steve Mazzagatti deducted one point from the newcomer for an illegal blow to the back of the head. Following a restart, Lesnar caught Mir with a right hand but fell directly into a tight foot lock. Lesnar tapped instantly giving Mir the submission victory.
