What do you think the end results will be in the two big main attractions which are of course:

Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Tim Sylvia


I think Brock Lesnar and Antonio will be victorious. Though Frank Mir is has way more experience in BJJ and MMA altogether than Brock is, I believe Brock knows this, but even if Mir tries to get him in a submission I believe Brock will probably power right out of anything Mir tries to get him in. When it comes to stand up, Mir isn't exactly an Anderson Silva per-se, however he does have decent stand-up and knockout power, but I don't see him knocking out Brock. I think Brock takes this by either by a lame ass lay-and-pray, allowing Brock to get a nice ground-and-pound. Maybe we'll even see a surprise knockout by Brock.

As for Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Tim Sylvia, this is hard for me to call, but I see Antonio taking this. Either by a nice submission, or by decision. These two guys have a lot of heart, and this can go to decision, but Antonio can take a brutal beatdown, and I know he has better grappling skills than Tim. I can probably see him submitting him with a leg-lock if anything. However, I won't be surprised if I see Tim deliver a knockout to Antonio. Still I go with Antonio, like I said, by either submission or nullifying Tim Sylvia to a decision.

What are your guys thoughts on who will come out victorious at this event?

Nog and Motorcycle Mir will be victorious. Lesnar needs more work and Tim should lose this fight on the ground.

I'm starting to have a real concern for Brock right now. I have a feeling Frank Mir will surprise him with a nice knockout punch or some striking of some kind.

I think he expects Brock to take him down. So if Brock shoots, he'll probably counter with a kick.

Alot of people are saying he is in over his head but I still think he is going to hit Mir with those size 24 gloves and break him.

I have confidence in Brock, I do. I'm just worried if he fails, because it'll be all this hype for nothing, and people (meaning the fans) will never give him a chance again and think he's a joke.
