Brock Lesnar’s debut UFC fight (and only his second professional fight) ended with him tapping out to a Frank Mir ankle lock. Since then he’s seemed to improve with each fight, with his mugging over Heath Herring and his title victory over former champ Randy Couture. There’s even talk of him training with Couture for his upcoming fight with Mir.
Mir however isn’t sweating it. I mean, how much can one guy improve in a couple of fights? So sayeth the current interim-champion…
“Lets look at Urijah Faber at his fourth or fifth fight. What was he compared to what he is now? If we go to Miguel Torres, if we go to St. Pierre, you can pick the best fighters in the world. How good are they on their fifth fight compared to how good they are now,” asked Mir. “We’re talking about world-class guys. We’re talking BJ Penn’s and stuff. Let’s be realistic – Matt Hughes.

And he’s got the next biggest fight of his career in a few months (probably) against interim champion Frank Mir…who has already beaten him once. Most fighters would look to step up their game, and Lesnar is no different. That’s why he’s going to train with the guy he won the title from, Randy Couture.
Since neither fighter’s last fight lasted long enough for them to get tired let alone injured, methinks we’ll be getting the

I went one for four in the Ultimate Fighter Finale…though the Vega$ oddsmakers only went 2-5, so it ain’t like I was the only one. Let’s see if I can improve on that…
I didn’t get into the UFC until after Frank Mir’s motorcycle accident, and the first fight I saw of his was the trainwreck against Brandon Vera. We dubbed the fight “The Truth” vs. “The Fat Bastard.” He was a shell of the fighter that broke Tim Sylvia’s arm, and he knew it himself. He told his wife that he just didn’t have it any more, and of course being supportive like all women are:
