Frank Mir on Lesnar’s learning curve
Here is what Frank Mir had to say during this week’s conference call hyping up the Lesnar/Mir fight on July 11th:
“That’s one thing, to be honest with you, that’s hard to watch tape on,” Mir said of Lesnar’s rapid progression. “You don’t know how much more he’s going to improve every fight. You watch and say, ‘Wow, he really made a mistake in his fight with how overeager he is. He’s just flying across the cage. That will take a couple of fights for him to get over that.’ And then the next fight, from Heath to Randy, you see him very composed. I remember my trainers were like, ‘Hey, man, is he just standing there and actually fighting strike for strike instead of just bullrushing across the cage?’ I’m like, ‘Wow, that only took one fight to fix that.’
We’ve all seen the progression from Lesnar, and it appears that his opponents are taking notice as well. How quickly he learned from his mistake in the first fight with Mir is something we’ll find out on July 11th.
