Lesnar has made his strength wrestling(greco) and tossing guys around. That kind of strength is much tougher to overcome than the kind you get lifting weights.
And saying Mir is superior is a falsehood. He used to be quick and explosive, but he isn't what he used to be.
striking- even- Brock hasn't ever really trained in striking but Mir is a chump when it comes to standup. He has literally never landed a good, clean, powerful punch in a fight. Brocks reach and power here could be the difference. Look at the Kim fight. He doesn't even need to break guard to land powerful shots, his inside shots while being clutched onto are powerful enough to knockout
Wrestling- brock - anyone who says different is a dumbass, lesnar will destroy him if he allows himself to be grounded and pounded.
ju-jitsu- mir - obvious but lesnar will be training with the best to avoid this and he has trained in the past in ju-jitsu, and even rolled with a couple of fairly good guys
takedowns- brock
takedown defense -brock(he was a ncaa champion, come on)
i see hardly any way mir can win. Experience? Brock has fought in wrestling, greco wrestling, and mma matches. I know wrestling is fake, but hes performing in front of millions of people. its still experience.
money on brock
