Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir
Submissions
Brock Lesnar: If there has been one worry for Brock Lesnar, it is his ability to handle the submission game with his lack of MMA experience. Unlike wrestling and boxing (while they are no doubt just as useful skill sets), understanding the art of Jiu Jitsu and other submissions is a practice that requires years of experience. And when he first faced Frank Mir, Lesnar displayed this beautifully. According to his peers at the Minnesota Mixed Martial Arts Academy, Lesnar has more than learned from mistakes. For the sake of Lesnar, let us hope so.
Frank Mir: As one of the top Brazillian Jiu Jitsu fighters in the sport, Mir's submissions remained unrivaled throughout much of his division. Mir holds a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black belt under Ricardo Pires which he obtained in 2004. In his overall mixed martial arts career, 58% of his career wins have been submission victories. In his UFC career, Mir holds a 26% submission success rate. It is also important to note that Frank Mir has never been submitted in his mixed martial arts career.
The Edge: Due to a consistency of UFC submission victories, and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; the edge goes to Frank Mir.
