I hope he does! I have JDS picked in this fight and am a fan of his, but Mir has been one of my favorites pretty much since I started being a hardcore fan! I'm definitely pulling for him!!

I have to agree that Mir does not have the best chin but saying that his chin suck because he has lost 3 fights vs top 10 containder i don't agree. The fact he is facing one of the best power Ko opponent will be hard for him. Even a Elephant head could be knocked out by the hammer of JDS !

Can we just ignore 2006 in Mir's career please? Bringing those fights up to make a point is ridiculous he wasn't close to ready to coming back yet and we all saw the results!

I don't believe Mir has a glass jaw, but I don't believe he has a good chin either. He's never been one hit ko'ed...as best I can remember. Carwin and Brock pounded his face until he eventually went out.
That said, I like both guys, but Cigano is going to put him to sleep either round 1 or 2. I just don't believe that Frank is going to be able to get JDS to the ground.

I hate to say a high level fighter has no chance in a fight, but in this case.....Mir basically has no chance.
Mir's only real shot is if JDS jumps into his guard Fedor style after dropping him with punches. Then maybe he can get the sub, but JDS definitely knows that's Mir's only real shot. He won't let that happen.

Not only does Frank Mir have some of if not the best BJJ in the HW division he also is one of the most intelligent fighters in MMA so I think he has a better chance then most people are giving him.

Similar scenario for Cain-Bigfoot; people seem to be underestimating Pezao, although Cain is the much better fighter, Bigfoot is still a huge man with brute strenght. Remember the Fedor fight? once he took him to the ground, Fedor wasn't able to take him off of him, and we are talking about a strong, Sambo specialist with vast experience.
Also consider this, Jon Jones isn't the most skilled striker, but his reach and build make up for those technical shortcomings, on the same note I think his size and weight advantages are what makes Pezao a huge threat to anyone in the division.
That said, I think Cain will play a conservative game, keeping his distance, moving a lot, mixing it up with combos, leg kicks and occasional takedowns to get the UD.
I'm on the fence with Nelson-Sasquatch, I do think Nelson is the better fighter, but he seems to be completely off in his last fights, he is currently 3-3 in the UFC and 2-3 in his last 5. I don't even remember the last time I actually saw him attempt a sub. Maybe at his 35 it's time we accept he's not the force we thought he could be.
Time to change the Nelson-Gonzaga poster no? >
just sayin.
