TKO
Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar round 2. The most anticipated fight in the 16 year history of the UFC took place tonight. The heavyweight championship was on the line when these two stepped into the Octagon, and vengence was on the mind of Lesnar. Just a short time ago, these two met for the first time. Lesnar had Mir pinned, throwing viscious punches, but the referee stopped the fight saying Lesnar was punching Mir in the back of the head. The two regrouped, Mir came out and put Lesnar in a submission, causing him to tapout. Lesnar was unhappy and the buzz of a rematch started to spread. Well tonight, that buzz became reality. In Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas the action started early. Before the fight, the referee told the two to touch fist as a show of sportmanship. Mir put out his fist, and Lesnar simply walked away. These two were ready to fight, and were quite frankly looking to hurt each other. Lesnar had Mir pinned in the first round, throwing punch after punch to his head, but Mir escaped with a grin on his face, as if he thought he won the round. The two came out to start the second round, which would last 1 mintue and 46 seconds. Lesnar once again got Mir pinned, and there was no escaping this one as he had him pinned against the cage, and there was too much time left. Brock pinned his opponents wrist, and started throwing continual punches to the head of Mir. The ref called the fight so critical damage was not done. Lesnar got up talking trash to a booing crowd in Las Vegas, and then proceeded to give all the fans in attendance the finger. Regardless of any actions done after the fight, it was incredible to see. Looking back, im not sure if anyone can defeat Brock Lesnar in the heavyweight class. A man that is 265 pounds and standing at 6"3 , Brock is a force to be wreckened with in his sport. UFC 100 did wonders for the orginazation and will undoubtedly go down as a classic, epic, historic night that will propel this sport to bigger and better things.
