UFC 100 played host to the big rematch between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir from UFC 81, wherein Mir had defeated Lesnar in the "Beast's" UFC debut via submission.

Lesnar was incensed by Mir's post-fight comments in which the former Heavyweight Champion had derided Lesnar's abilities. This added a huge amount of intrigue and intensity to the Heavyweight Championship clash.

The rematch couldn't have been more different than their first encounter. The larger Lesnar took Mir down and patiently smashed him again and again with deliberate elbows that badly cut up Mir's face.

Lesnar immediately took Mir down once more in the second round but allowed Mir back to his feet. The former Heavyweight Champion nearly made Lesnar pay for that by tagging him with a big right hand and a flying knee.

Lesnar and Mir ended up back on the mat once more and Lesnar repeatedly smashed Mir in the face until the referee, Herb Dean jumped in for the TKO finish.

Lesnar screamed in Mir's face post-fight as if to prove a point. Lesnar was the man; the top dog in the Heavyweight division.
