OnlyUFC
The wait is over; after weeks of speculation, UFC has finally revealed the opponent for Brock Lesnar's Octagon debut.
At UFC 81 on February 2, 2008, the debuting Brock Lesnar will battle mixed martial arts veteran and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.
The 6'3", 265-pound Brock Lesnar, a former NCAA wrestling champion, defeated Min Soo Kim in his June MMA debut at K-1's Dynamite!! USA event. Mir, who held the UFC Heavyweight Championship, defeated Antoni Hardonk in his most recent UFC outing.
“It’s an interesting matchup,” said UFC President Dana White. “Lesnar is a great wrestler, a good athlete, and this is definitely gonna be a big test for him. Frank Mir is a former world champion who is coming off a big win over Antoni Hardonk, and he’s looking to get his career back on track while Lesnar’s looking to walk into the UFC and prove what type of fighter he’s gonna be by trying to knock him off.”
