UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar has warned Frank Mir ahead of their UFC 100 clash that he is facing a totally different animal this time the pair step inside the octagon, saying if he leaves himself open to submissions, he will take them.
Speaking this week to GroundNPound.org, Lesnar, when asked what his favourite submission was, said:
“Strikes. (Laughs). Like I said, if Mir leaves himself open, I have no problems working the submissions now. A lot of the good Jiu Jitsu guys that I train with I have submitted. If he gives up his back, I will choke him out. If he gives up his arm, I will break it. We will let him pick his poison.”
Lesnar has certainly improved his game since we first saw him arrive in the UFC back in February 2008. A controlling performance over Heath Herring quickly followed by a knockout win over Randy Couture handed him the UFC heavyweight title. With eight months off since his last fight it could be scary to see how much this man mountain has improved when he re-emerges at UFC 100.

Brock also lied about a meeting with Carwin:
Threat to the UFC heavyweight crown and human wrecking machine Shane Carwin has recently been on the receiving end of a few rumors that have him mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore.
Carwin recently took the time to issue a statement through FiveOuncesOfPain.com in response to several stories regarding himself recently.
In a recent interview with GroundNPound.org, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar spoke about an encounter he had with Carwin prior to UFC 96 where the two powerhouses had the force of their punches tested. According to Brock, it was he who possessed the more powerful hammer.
“Shane Carwin and I actually met the day before UFC 96,” Lesnar was quoted as saying in the recent interview. “He is a great guy – we actually had our punch forces tested too.
“We were told to throw the hardest right cross we could on a punching bag. I was able to rack up 1350 pounds per square inch. He did a little over 1200, making my punch harder.”
Carwin is having a seriously hard time remembering the punching contest that Lesnar is referring to. As he explains to FiveOuncesOfPain.com, that punching contest is a matter of pure fiction on Lenar’s part.
“The guy is a freaking liar,” said Carwin. “We never meet at UFC 96, I was getting ready for a battle with Gonzaga not hanging out at Dave and Busters with Brock. I do not understand why guys like Brock claim to have tested against me. He has the belt, shouldn’t he be the standard?”
