Can Frank Mir Do It Again?

I have always been a big fan of Frank Mir (12-3-0) even in some of his matches I didn't think he would win. He has one of the best ground games in the heavyweight division. And for a big guy has always looked very impressive in BJJ.

Since starting his MMA career, Mir has only had two fights outside the UFC. His first two. Mir won a decision over Jerome Smith at a HooknShoot  in his pro debut. In his second he submitted Dan Quinn via triangle choke. Then the UFC picked him up and he's been here every since.

Mir has submitted 6 of his opponents. Of these 6, Brock Lesnar (3-1-0) has lasted the longest at 1:30 of the first round. Only two of his fights have went past the 2nd round (Jerome Smith and Dan Christison) both of which he won by decision. The three he lost have all been by TKO.

Mir has never been submitted and  has fought a total of 45.5 minutes in his 13 fight UFC career that spans seven and a half years. WOW! Thats an average of 3.5 minutes per fight.

Lesnar's 3 fights in the UFC have lasted a total of 24.5 minutes. An average of 8.16 minutes per fight. If Lesnar makes it to his 13th fight for the UFC (which I doubt he will) how much more time will he rack up? I know this really has nothing to do with their ability (except maybe finishing ability) but still Mir has been  very impressive.

So, to answer my own question "Can Frank Mir Do It Again? " I have to say that I 100% beleive LESNAR WILL TAP!!!

If you don't think Mir will win then how will Lesnar beat him?
