He got somewhat lucky IMO. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of Mir's, I'm still rooting for him. His submission skills are incredible. Lesnar made an amateur mistake and Mir made him pay for it. I used to train in MMA so I know how much skill it takes to be able to pull off a kneebar like Mir did.
you have to admit though Mir was getting dominated by Lesnar's striking. Look how quickly Lesnar managed to bloody him up after the fight was over. like I said Lesnar is a beast and has an advantage muscle/strength-wise. the guy is huge. This pic says it all:
If Lesnar swings at him that's going to hurt him, whether he blocks it or not.
Lesnar has the advantage on striking (his fists are virtually unstoppable) while Mir has the advantage on submissions. Problem is it's not going to be easy for Mir to take him down and keep him there. Lesnar is going to be a lot more cautious about that this time. It'll be very difficult for Mir to choke out Lesnar. I think Mir should just be evasive and let Lesnar fatigued...I know he'll get tired pretty quickly.
