From a new bulletin on UFC.com:
This matchup has always been interesting because the position where Lesnar is the strongest (slugging from the top) alligns with the position where Mir is the strongest (subbing from the bottom). So it’ll be interesting to see if Brock opts for the same strategy this time around — taking Mir to the mat right away and trying to overwhelm him with ground-and-pound. As he learned at UFC 81, that’s a good way to get caught in a freak kneebar. Could we be seeing an epic standup war in the rematch?
Tickets for UFC 98 go on sale March 5th for UFC Fight Club members, March 6th in a newsletter presale (password: grudge), and the remaining scraps will be released to commoners on March 7th. Though no other bouts are currently featured on UFC 98′s fight card page, a full lineup’s worth of matchups have been rumored or confirmed through other sources:
Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra
Sean Sherk vs. Frankie Edgar
Josh Koscheck vs. Chris Wilson
James Irvin vs. Drew McFedries
Houston Alexander vs. Andre Gusmao
Phillipe Nover vs. Kyle Bradley
Dave Kaplan vs. George Roop
Yoshiyuki Yoshida vs. Brandon Wolff
Tim Hague vs. Patrick Barry


The only reason fedor didn’t finish him is because nog was in his prime. If he didnt just stand there with his hands down it would have been a different fight with Mir. We’ve only seen Mir’s Offense. now lets see his defense against the guy taht almost beat him is first day in the sport.
