The MMA evolution of UFC heavyweight Brock Lesnar (Video)

It's safe to say that the first time Brock Lesnar enters the Octagon on SuperBowl weekend that it will be one of the most intriguing storylines in the sport to begin 2008.

Sure, he's already got one professional fight under his belt. But how will he fare against top competition?

For what it's worth Lesnar seems realistic and not overly confident that his transition from professional wrestling to mixed martial arts is going to be easy in a recent interview with SportsNet.ca.

He seems to be saying all the right things.

We'll find out in less than two months when he takes on former heavyweight champion and grappling specialist, Frank Mir, at UFC 81 : "Breaking Point" on February 2 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
