I can't wait!

War Nog.

Likewise!

Big Nog by armbar!!!

Cannot wait to see how the style matchup of Mir vs. Lesnar will play out. I have a sneaking suspicion it could be anticlimactic, with Lesnar making a mistake on the ground and Mir subbing him quickly.

Big Nog all the way. I am still pretty surprised that Randy predicted a 2nd round knockout win for Tim Silvia. Who knocks out Big Nog?

Not Tim, IMO...

Agreed. I want Lesnar to put in a good showing, if only for his own sake, but I just don't think he can avoid Mir's subs for that long.

But we've always got to consider the fact that we know almost nothing about Brock's skills, so...we'll just see.

Yeah hope Nog wins, by stoppage preferably.

One thing I DO know about Lesnar's "skills" is that he is freakishly strong. He may be able to pull out of an arm or leg submission, using brute strength. Choke, not so much...

Agreed. Even with a choke, I can easily envision that we might get a Rampage-like slam if Mir is able to slap on, for example, a triangle or a not-fully-sunk-in guillotine.
