Another bet that might be worth tracking on betfair is Frank Mir v Brock Lesnar UFC 81.
I've watched some of Lesnars college wrestling 'highlights' and as much of the WWE ballet as I could stand, as well as his first MMA fight (which was ok). Over all, not particularly impressed. Frank Mir has never been a favourite fighter of mine, but in his prime, he was pretty useful. His submissions are world class. After his motorbike crash a few years ago he's struggled to break back into the big time, but in his last undercard fight at UFC 74 he looked very slick.
As he's not up against a skilled striker in Lesnar, I think an early submission is quite likely and if the hype machine kicks in, I think Lesnar might go favourite on the book. I've laid Lesnar at 1.6 to see if I can get the ball rolling but I'll be tracking it between now and fight time February 2nd.
I think Lesnar will win this. |

yes there is, and I totally agree.
I think I heard that Cage rage has said it's zero tolerance on steroids, but UFC hands out short suspensions. Not good enough IMO.

GSP beats Serra, Hughes has final UFC match against Serra?
I enjoyed the fights tonight. UFC 80 to an uneducated MMA noob like me looks kinda zzzzzzzzz.
Fedor fighting some 7 foot tall dude tomorrow, is it on UK TV?

That wasn't the Chuck Liddell that was dominating the division a few years ago, knocking Jeremy Horn out for the first time in his career, Owning great fighters like Couture, Babalu and Ortiz. He REALLY needed the win and Silva is a great notch on his record. Nice to see a bit of versitility. He got so used to knocking people out, he maybe got a bit lazy with his ground fighting and his kicking. Looking forward to seeing who they give him next. Great to see him on the right track again.
GSP was fantastic again. If he beats Serra, I agree Hughes v Serra then Hughes retires. If Serra beats GSP first then Hughes is finished.
