Hate Cruz so much, but yeah, the injury sucks.
Wish Mir would win, but there is NO WAY. His biggest weakness is getting hit hard by strikers. Just so happens that Dos Santos will be happy to give that to him. Only chance is IF Mir gets smart, forgets about trying to prove himself as a striker and takes him down immediately. He will break Dos Santos in half on the ground......doubt it goes there though until Mir face plants...ego will get him killed.
Not a fan of Bones either (Not sure why, he seems nice and is obviously great). He will lose, they all do. No one is unbeatable. One clean pop on his noggin from Hendo could do it, I doubt it though...Some youngster is moving up right now that will be the next big thing and will beat him I'm sure, then that guy will be unbeatable...until he gets beat.
In answer to that, not sure anyone right now in the Light Heavies can take him as it stands. He is just too big, seems unfair sometimes. Silva (IF he survives Sonnen) moving up to fight him is stupid, IMO. Jones would murder/death/kill him (yes, demolition man ref). Jones needs to move up and prove himself with the big boys in a couple years. Im sure that will be the case.

WAR MIR!
Mir will start the fight with a two punch combo and immediately shoot a double. JDS poses no threat of a knee or kick, so Mir might not even need to set it up. I smell arm triangle or a full mount leg triangle. IF JDS manages to sprawl, Mir will slap that wicked guillotine on and it'll be good night Brazilian douche bag.
Is this a pipe dream? Likely. Mir will be relegated to Gate Keeper of the HW division ala CroCop, Big Nog, and Big Country. This is Mir's last chance at the title. If he loses, I will die a little inside. Or a lot.

For me it's more about rooting for the Underdog. I rooted for Santos over Cain Velasquez. There is something about the Champ going down that is fun to watch.
Jon Jones will not be losing for a LONG time. I'm already board watching/rooting for him. It's like being a Lakers fan.
