Frank Mir is busy cooking up his plan to square off against Brock Lesnar. Of course, Mir has admitted that he knows that he can’t go head-to-head with the 280 pound behemoth, but he has to do something.
In fact, he already has a general outline to his tactics. Frank Mir was quoted as saying:
"His wrestling is the dominant area of his fighting skill set, and obviously his power, so I look to see that in the fight. I don't think he can play the jiu jitsu game where he takes me down, passes my guard and looks for a submission, but he could take me down and look to establish a dominant position against the cage, raining down punches and using power to his greatest advantage."
"Trying to beat Brock at being strong, I'll need a few more years to catch him, if that's possible -- obviously, it's not. So I'll just look to find ways to use technique. I can't really go head-to-head. That's not the smartest game plan in the world, so I'm trying to use technique and movement to gain an advantage, with my agility and my movement."
In about a week all the talking will be set aside, and the fists will be the ones doing the explaining. The match will be one of intelligence, patience, and power. Best of luck to both contenders…will intellect be enough to defeat sheer power? It will all come to a closure at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
