I really think the way to beat Lesnar right now is to find a way to push the pace and make him rely more on instinct than anything else. Certainly a double edged sword as he's got a strong wrestling base to work from, but unless you have a big reach advantage over him the best bet is to hope he gives up an arm or a leg for a submission attempt and if you push the pace and don't let him plan out what he's going to do next like he was doing against Couture I think the chances of a limb becoming available for a submission manuever increase significantly.

Early on I'd still give Lesnar the edge standing but if the match hits the ground for any prolonged period of time, well, it'd certainly favor Mir if he can keep the pace brisk down there and force Lesnar into a mistake.
