Completely Satisfying! This Was Awesome!:
Oh boy! Brock Lesnar in the UFC, making his debut against a former champion, Frank Mir. Up to this point, Mir has had somewhat of a shaky comeback. His return was a first round TKO loss to newcomer, Marcio Cruz, in UFC 57. His next fight was a Unanimous decision win over Dan Christison in UFC 61. Then he lost in just over a minute in UFC 65 against Brandon Vera. But in UFC 74 he looked like the old Mir, and he submitted Antoni Hardonk at 1:17! But seriously, was Frank Mir back for real?

GOOD card, not GREAT by any means, but good to watch.:
Since the UFC puts on ok but not great cards for their $44.95 ppv fee, I don't purchase the ppv and wait for the dvd's to come out a few months later. This was a good card, especially the main event and is worth watching. Funny, Tim Sylvia is at his best in this fight, aggressive and really trying to take it to Nog, but........ (I dont want to spoil it for anybody who hasnt seen it.) Brock Lesnar makes his debut and shows some real serious potential as a mma fighter, even though his debut is quite brief.... more info
Big Nog vs Big Tim!:
The main event gave me my 20 bucks worth alone.Mir vs Lesnar was an awesome fight as well!
Great UFC PPV: BROCKS DEBUT!:
Brock Lesnar finally makes his UFC debut against former HW Champ BJJ expert Frank Mir. Tim Syliva takes on former Pride Star Minatoru Nogguira for Randy Coutures HW title. A must buy for all MMA fans. UFC should start releasing the events on Blu-Ray.
