UFC 81: Breaking Point (Poll)
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:49 am
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?
