Can Frank Mir Do It Again?

I have always been a big fan of Frank Mir (12-3-0) even in some of his matches I didn't think he would win. He has one of the best ground games in the heavyweight division. And for a big guy has always looked very impressive in BJJ.
Since starting his MMA career, Mir has only had two fights outside the UFC. His first two. Mir won a decision over Jerome Smith at a HooknShoot in his pro debut. In his second he submitted Dan Quinn via triangle choke. Then the UFC picked him up and he's been here every since.
Mir has submitted 6 of his opponents. Of these 6, Brock Lesnar (3-1-0) has lasted the longest at 1:30 of the first round. Only two of his fights have went past the 2nd round (Jerome Smith and Dan Christison) both of which he won by decision. The three he lost have all been by TKO.
Mir has never been submitted and has fought a total of 45.5 minutes in his 13 fight UFC career that spans seven and a half years. WOW! Thats an average of 3.5 minutes per fight.
Lesnar's 3 fights in the UFC have lasted a total of 24.5 minutes. An average of 8.16 minutes per fight. If Lesnar makes it to his 13th fight for the UFC (which I doubt he will) how much more time will he rack up? I know this really has nothing to do with their ability (except maybe finishing ability) but still Mir has been very impressive.
So, to answer my own question "Can Frank Mir Do It Again? " I have to say that I 100% beleive LESNAR WILL TAP!!!

I like the way you broke down the average length of their fights. That was pretty cool. As for as do I think he can tap Lesnar again? It’s possible, but the percentages are not in his favor IMO. With Lesnar’s wrestling base, and the knowledge he’s gained in the past year? I don’t see it happening this time. Now he could rock Lesnar or something and grap a sub that way…but just catching him in a sub like the first time? Nah.

Thanks
How do you think Lesnar would win if he does?

He was getting mauled by a very green Lesnar and capitalized when he saw an oppurtunity. All things considered, I don’t see him winning this time around .
Bloody hell.
TKO, ref stoppage. Lesnars gonna rock him and GNP him out this time FTW!

Brock is a monster....
He had an interview a little while ago where they asked him about steroids and he got pissed and ended the interview and left. They stopped him and talked a bit and he calmed down but the interview was over. He told the guy off-camera that he ‘has never tested positive on any test’…which to me says ‘i have never gotten caught yet’.
I hate to say he is on roids because that belittles what he has accomplished. He has been one big mo-fo ever since his college days, and they test there, too. I don’t know.
You guys think he is on roids? I know the UFC has caught several fighters so it would be very very risky.
