Editor's Picks: Lesnar vs. Mir Rematch

Justin Lackey: Lesnar has no where near the jiu jitsu quality to defend Mir's Submissions; nor the boxing credentials to stand with Mir. I see Lesnar tiring himself out trying to finish Mir, which will ultimately lead to a submission of an over confident Lesnar. I don't think it will be a repeat of their first meeting, but more of an extended replay, in slow motion. We all saw a smarter Lesnar against Randy, but we also saw that the explosive Brock, which was the only Brock we knew, was very short lived. If Mir can survive the initial flurry from Lesnar, it will end in a submission or knockout. Finally, my pick is Mir via submission, Round 2.

Dwayne Roby: When these bombs met for the first time, I wasn't pissing my panties for Mir's leg lock. I was wondering what the hell the rest of the heavyweight roster was going to do about the 300 pound hunk of metal smacking Mir's ass in submissive agony. It was take down then bomb after bomb on Mir's head. Two fights later, now that Lesnar's jiu jitsu defense is beyond arcade, where is Mir's salvation? Lesnar KO Round 1.

Dean Christensen: Needless to say, I'm pretty exited about this match. I'm picking Lesnar because I believe he will be a lot more cautious the second time around. If he fights with the same style as when he fought Randy, I cannot see him getting caught in a submission. However, I can see Lesnar tiring in the later rounds and catching a swift combo from Mir. My final prediction is Lesnar, TKO, Round 3.
