    Lesnar back this summer.....

    Looks like Lesnar is going to fight the winner of the Mier/Carwin fight at UFC 111.

    I hate Lesnar but he is great for the sport.

    Friendly and helpful customer support that goes above and beyond. We help you get the perfect domain name.


    Lesnar will fight the winner of the Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir fight at UFC 111.

    Lesnar appeared alongside UFC president Dana White on ESPN in the U.S on Wednesday to make the announcement.

    Well, this is what Mir has been training for, so if he gets over on Carwin, it'll be interesting to see if he's got the goods to hang with Lesner. With it being Lesner's first fight in a year, I could see him potentially losing.

    This would lead to the matchup we all want to see: Lesnar vs. Roy Nelson.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

      As much as I hate Lesnar, I would love to see him kick the crap out of big country Roy Nelson. Please let that fight happen. Roy deserves to get his ass handed to him.

        Amen! Lesnar is a jackass, but I would pay good money to see Tub-O-Guts Nelson get destroyed.
        Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

            Crazy. The UFC needed this though. That heavyweight class is looking weak without Lesnar. I am glad he'll be back.

              He is the heavyweight division. The whole thing orbits around him. I hope that the doctors are right and that this is truly behind him. I would love to see him fight the Carwin/Mir winner. I think another Mir fight could be interesting.

              Lesnar/Mir 1: In experienced Lesnar gets caught by a Mir whose jitz is light years ahead.

              Lesnar/Mir 2: Lesnar makes no stupid mistakes this time, lays on Mir who can't get up, and administers a gruesome beating.

              Mir then goes off, and from all appearances, has said to himself "I want this guy again and I can put enough weight on this frame of mine that he won't overwhelm with size and strength next time, let's see what happens when we are on equal footing physically." Carwin will be the test to see how he can handle another very, very big dude. If Mir shows that he is still nimble at that weight, things could get interesting. Recall that he fought Kongo and 264 and while he was not cut, he wasn't carrying much fat.

              Then again, if Carwin beats him down, it sets up a battle of juggernauts.

              EDIT: http://mmablips.dailyradar.com/video...-mir-bulks-up/

              "He made increases in his technical ability and I didn't make an increase in my size and power. So, that was the difference in the fight." (Speaking of the 2nd fight). "I might not be stronger than him, but if I'm close enough to where I can stalemate his strength and nullify it so its not a factor, he's never going to catch up with me with technique and hands and explosion."

                More info on the vs. Card: Roy Nelson is going to fight the Skyscraper Stephan Struve. That is going to be fantastic!

                Also, Little Nog and Forrest Griffin set to fight in the next few months.
