Brock is a powerhouse, I think he will do well.

He already won at least on MMA match, didn't he?

How heavy is he now, or light? 260?

**bpm1** · 01-25-2008, 09:45 PM

should be interesting

6'3'1/2", 265 lbs, he beat Min Soo Kim in one minute and 9 seconds in his first and only mma match.

I think that Brock will hand mir's ass to him on a silver plater in the first round....

Have only seen Brock fight twice but Mir just dosent seem to have the heart, drive or determination anymore....

I guess we will see soon....

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 09:49 PM

^I tend to agree

Mir just isnt what he was before the motorcycle crash.

265? ehh, that is about what I thought.

I live within 10 miles of him, and every once in a while I see him around the St.Cloud or Kimbal area.

I know he is tall, and he looks WAY bigger in person than he looks in pictures.

I figured he was not as heavy as when he was in the WWE, but he still looks HUGE, and for a tall guy, thick as a dinosaur.

I think some folks here forget how very big 265 really is at under 12% BF.

I'm going to guess around 30 or 31.

**meathead320** · 01-25-2008, 10:11 PM

couple pics of him

**admirals56** · 01-25-2008, 10:14 PM

thats a big mofo

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 10:17 PM

yeah, that's why this ought to be cool

**admirals56** · 01-25-2008, 10:32 PM

you can tell hes been off the sauce for awhile if you look at before pics when he was in the wwe and now theres a big difference

**meathead320** · 01-25-2008, 10:36 PM

He sort of has a weird structure though. Not as noticeable in person, but you can tell in pics, he has a very short waist, and very long arms and legs.

I remember back in late 2003, in the WWE, There was a survivor series match, with Matt Morgan 6-10, Nathan Jones 6-10, Lesnar 6-3 and Bigshow 7-1. At the time Lesnar was heavier too, around 290 pounds.
I noticed an odd thing about The Structure of Lesnar compares to Morgan and Jones. Lesnars Legs, and arms and even the width of his lats traps were about the same as Nathan Jones’s and Morgans. The head size was the same, arm and leg length too. The thickness of the limbs was the same etc…

The only difference was that Lesnar has a VERY SHORT WAIST. Morgan and Jones had about a 6" to 7” longer waists than Lesnar, but everything else was about the same on them.

I wonder if that long limb length and very short waist gives him any advantages on the matt?

You can see this in pictures of Lesnar easily, and it is kind of freaky structure.

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 10:36 PM

so does he have big balls or little balls now?

**meathead320** · 01-25-2008, 10:39 PM

Could not tell you, my guess is he is natural now.

He still has the shortest waist ever for a guy who is 6'3" though.

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 10:42 PM

I don't understand the significance of a short waist? Please explain. Sorry, I'm not a fighter.

Neither am I, that is why I asked if there was an advantage.

All I meant was that I noticed his waist is about 6" shorter than it should be for his leg length and arm length, and give him the oddest proportions.

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 10:52 PM

maybe his shorts are pulled up high and he has significantly developed lower pecs?

**meathead320** · 01-25-2008, 11:37 PM

NO, short waist + long limbs.

I have never seen a picture of him where his waist did not look short.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with that kind of structure, it just looks odd to me is all.

**3bd** · 01-25-2008, 11:39 PM

Hey, let's face it, the guy IS ODD comparred to the rest of us!!!

**admirals56** · 01-26-2008, 12:01 AM

i hope he wins!!! i wonder if he can take a punch.

I bet he can take a punch better than I can!

Yeah no shit, my point in pointing it was not to cut him down or anything.

I was just wondering if the unusual structure may be an advantage in wrestling. Not the WWE style, but the collage style that made him famous originally.

Being 265 pounds, let alone the 290+ he once was, with under 10% bodyfat is Unusual as it is, and in person he is a mountain.

I would think that his relatively long limbs to his height ratio + the shortness of his waist kind of makes him an octopus on the mat.

A 6’3” 265 pound octopus, who can crush the life out of about any from the rest of the 99.9% of the human population.

**3bd** · 01-26-2008, 12:32 AM

Yeah, that's why this will be exciting. I can't imagine anything hurting this man, and if he won his first bout in 1 min 9 sec, you can bet Mir is second quessing himself.

**almostgone** · 01-26-2008, 07:23 AM

I hope Mir regains his confidence. Always thought he was a good fighter before the wreck.

It depends what Mir shows up for the fight.

Hopefully the Mir that just one the title and not the Mir that almost died on his motorcycle,He'll never be the same.I hope he proves me wrong but facts are facts he's just not the same fighter.

**eacman65** · 01-26-2008, 02:53 PM

Compared to the rest of his body he does have a very short torso. Sometimes having longer arms and legs can help you on a wrestling mat, but its not a huge advantage or anything. He is definetely a great athlete. Probably a better athlete than Mir. But lets face it he has had one fight and fought a less than par fighter. In my opinion if he didnt have the name he has and the ability to sell tickets than he would have never been brought up to the UFC so fast. His greatest strength will be his wrestling ability no doubt but he hasent fought anyone like Mir accident or not. I think it will be a better fight than most think. Cant wait to watch it.
