I hope my disappointment of Reem and Hunt not on this card doesn't get in the way of what still could be a pretty fun event

I usually make note of injury replacements when I do an event preview in my blog but I lost track of who replaced who so i'm going to mostly ignore all the changes have happened haha

I think Mir should stop thinking he can break everyone's arm only because he did it to Nog ! And people should stop thinking that Mir chin sucks because he got rocked by NOG. Every fight is different. My prediction on that one is very close. KO by JDS or submission by Mir. Either way I suggest strongly Mir to not stand with JDS and and JDS not to go to the ground with Mir. I think the Winner will be the one who will stay in his comfort zone and I think JDS WILL . So Knock out of the Night by JDS  is my prediction

"GSP for the win"

Mir did get rocked by Nog, KOed by Carwin and TKOed by Lesnar, Vera, Cruz and Freeman.
Mir does NOT have the best chin of the HW division, it's a fact.
He's facing a guy who has 10 (T)KO in 14 wins...

You can never count Mir out but I see him getting TKO'd pretty quickly

There's not a HW in the world that Mir can't submit either...Problem in this fight for Mir is JDS' TDD which looked great against Carwin...If it stays on the feet JDS is keeping his belt...If it goes to the ground Mir will take JDS belt and if JDS wants to show us how tough he is Mir will take his arm or leg along with the belt
