Schaub vs Mir

The HOFF · 12-13-10, 03:39 PM

Where does this leave Lesnar? Not sure who he can fight next.

Probly give Lesnar a Russow or Browne to try and build him back up. Not sure what Mir has to gain from fighting Schaub. Schaub doesnt have the same credibility as a Carwin or Lesnar and even Nelson. Lot of pressure as if he wins people will say Schaub was a guy who couldnt even win TUF and was an easy fight, if he loses his chances of getting a title shot again are over. Guess we'll see how legit Mir's striking really is.

I don't think you'll ever see Lesnar vs Browne or Russow lol. No one knows who those are guys are it would be a horrible business decision. You can't pay Brock 500 grand to fight low-tier HWs. Lesnar prolly won't want to fight again till at earliest April. I'd say Nogueira or a rematch with Carwin are the most likely matchups. A real outside shot at it being Struve. They put Struve vs. McCorkle as the co-main event to get their names out there so that they have more HW's to work with due to Carwin/Nelson/Lesnar being MIA for a bit.

True, but I'd of thought UFC wouldnt wanna risk him losing to Carwin, he'd lose all credibility if tht happened. But Nog would make sense...kind of forgot about him as its been so long!

actually I'm still praying for that Roy Nelson fight.

vassman86 · 12-13-10, 06:23 PM

Yea, I can imagine them giving Lesnar a good stepping stone to build up the hype again.

Kaladarus · 12-13-10, 07:08 PM

Nice this should be an awesome fight.

Vrakas · 12-13-10, 08:17 PM

lesnar needs to fight soon so that he gains experience.

urge2kill · 12-13-10, 08:40 PM

I don't think Struve would have much of a chance against Brock. He would get taken down and pounded out.

Pratik · 12-13-10, 10:40 PM

They should have put Struve vs Schaub that would have been better. But i hear carwin is getting struve thats going to be so one sided

Jordan23 · 12-13-10, 11:18 PM

Lesnar is going to probably draw Big Country on the Toronto card.

Poppa Catfish · 12-13-10, 11:25 PM

Carwin vs Struve is flat out moronic.

Struve +2000
Carwin -4500

Fight goes the distance +5000
Fight doesn't go the distance -7500

Vrakas · 12-14-10, 07:40 AM

struve needs to runs around the cage for 3 rounds.if carwin get one punch its going to be all over.

RaiderNation MMA · 12-14-10, 07:55 AM

lesnar gets nelson or nog next thats almost decided

RaiderNation MMA · 12-14-10, 07:56 AM

Nelson is out for the indefinite future with a contract dispute with Roy Jones's MMA promotion. He wont be fighting for a while.

Kaladarus · 12-14-10, 07:34 PM

It's hard to give some of these top HW fights when the top level competition is still quite limited.

If he sticks and moves and has some submission defense he'll be fine

FLO31 · 12-15-10, 01:24 AM

struve should not be considered elite heavyweight in mma..... struve vs lesnar, carwin, nog, nelson, dos santos, anybody... struve has no chance...

omalley21 · 12-15-10, 02:53 AM

Struve sucks. Nelsons out. Schaub has potential and is gonna beat Mir who is all hype.

Jordan23 · 12-16-10, 03:03 AM

I will not touch Mir with a 10 foot pole. You never know what you're going to get with him.. and we know Mir can be knocked out.

A heavyweight bout between former champ Frank Mir and "The Ultimate Fighter 10" runner-up Brendan Schaub is expected to take place in early 2011.

Sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com verbal agreements are in place for the fight.

The bout could take place at UFC on Versus 3 on March 3 or UFC 129 on March 19, though neither show has been officially announced.

I think this is a great fight for both of them, #1 contender match for the winner?

Dont want to see Lesnar fight Mir
