The Ultimate Fighting Championship will mark a huge milestone on Saturday with UFC 100 and it certainly knows how to celebrate in style with Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir clashing to become the disputed heavyweight champion.
The Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas will heave with excitement as Lesnar (3-1-0) and Mir (12-3-0) pummel each other into submission to end all doubt who is the best of the best.
betED.com has the former WWE wrestler Lesnar a -230 favorite over interim champion Mir at +180 in MMA Betting Odds.
It is no great surprise though.
Since Mir beat Lesnar in UFC81 with a knee bar submission in the first round, UFC fans have been anticipating this rematch as many believe and rightly so, that Lesnar was inexperienced against a seasoned fighter known as the best heavy weight submission fighter who has the ability to pull off the most amazing techniques to force his opponent to tap out.
Lesnar, a hulking 188cm, 121kg frame has since beat Heath Herring by unanimous decision in UFC87 while Randy Couture felt the brutality in UFC91 suffering a TKO in round two.
While many believe that Mir has regained the confidence he lost after a motorcycle accident nearly ended his career prematurely, there are many who doubt that he will get lucky against Lesnar a second time.
Instead, many predict that the former world-class wrestler will be too big and too strong having worked on his submission defence techniques.
Lesnar will need to prove there is some form of brain activity behind that brawn and not try and bull rush Mir, which has become a trademark of his. If the bout gets to the ground then Mir will slip Lesnar into a submission hold that will force a tap out.
If Lesnar keeps the bout up as much as he can then he will simply use those massive meat hooks to beat life out of Mir.
