Brock Lesnar made Frank Mir eat his words tonight, taking his opponent down in both the first and second rounds and slipping a number of punches right to the kisser through Mir’s arms.

Now we’ll take a look at the main event featuring fake fighter turned real fighter Brock Lesnar against ground expert Frank Mir.

What’s a better way to get in to your opponents head and perhaps make them overconfident? Maybe even train a little lighter in anticipation that you may not be training hard if at all?

With his victory over UFC newcomer and current Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar and his win over Nogueira this past Saturday Mir looks at the Heavyweight Championship while holding the interim Heavyweight title.

Martial arts has always been about discipline, about being in a better physical and mental fighter than your opponent. Although mixed martial arts is a bit different, it still holds the same values in my opinion. If you don’t have a clear state of mind and focus then your opponent may get the best of you.
