MIR vs Dos Santos

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.
 
I would be so happy if Mir wins.
Only problem is he is limited so he wont defend the belt much before he is flattened again.
 
i'm not really partial to either Mir or JDS.
jds is the only brazilian fighter probably I dont hate, dont love him though
same could eb said for Mir.
so i'm impartial, dont know who is gonna win. i just hop it will be a helluva fight
 
So pissed Overeem isn't fighting. How bout that Johnson guy? That dude will get his shot.

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.

to be fair mir isnt exactly an underdog :P.
 
Only chance Mir has is if it goes to the ground. That being said Dos Santos with a 2nd round KO is my prediction. I see it similar to when Carwin almost decapitated Mir with those upercuts in their fight.

Sadly, I see this too. The only real glimmer of hope I have is that JDS hasn't seen a takedown attempt in the last 3 years. He might have solid TDD, but I doubt it. I also like Mir's chances on his feet; that is, he's a good striker, but a damn worthless defender. Avoiding the clinch is key, imo. Double leg, side control, arm triangle. Badda bing, badda boom. Three time champ, bitches!

Hello Gate Keeper status. I loved the shot in the first round, but why-oh-why did he not continue to shoot? Rogan was going on and on about JDS's take down defense, but how many times have we seen him actually defend a TD? Three times maybe? Ugh, that was a disappointing way to end a career.

Great card. Cain/JDS II

It was a great card, but there is no way Brown Pride should get another shot after one damn fight. Silva was, is, and always will be a massive hack who needed roids to compete in ****ing Strikeforce. I've always hated that g'damn cheater.
 
It'll be Cain for lack of a better option. Overeem is out for now. Lavar would've been next had he beat Struve. Struve probably deserves a shot eventually.

Cain looked really good. I don't think he can beat JDS but keep in mind he was coming off shoulder surgery for that fight. BTW his fight with Silva was the bloodiest I've ever seen.

What about Mark Hunt? He's got a nice little streak going too. I bet he would've knocked Struve into next month.
 
there arent a lot of options for the hw division.
but strufe always seem to have exiting fights, or it just might me my bias for European fighters.
was a nice card though a lot of early stoppage, thats expected from a card full of HW
