Punching bag or not, this fight ain't going to the ground if DC doesn't want it there. Murr is getting KTFO again....

@Yoss Of course not buddy. I do the same thing all the time. Pick my personal favs over the real favs. But this is a bad match up for Mir, as bad as they come actually.

lol at picking Mir via submission. He is getting knocked out in the 1st or the second, his chin is not what it used to be, and if Nog had him on ***** street. DC is gonna put him out cold.

lol!

Yup, I do that from time to time ... I sacrifice my pick trying to will my fav into winning via karma :)))

It even works from time to time (ask Philippou and Pat Barry) ... I ****** up with Hioki though ;)

We'll see if I can "work my (nonexistent) magic" for Mir and Gomi ...

DC legit KOd Bigfoot, I admit it was nasty. He couldn't finish Barnett or Jeff Monson and it took him forever to finish Dion freakin' Staring. This is a huge step up for him, if he KOs Mir then mad respect and I was wrong. I know we all miss Fedor but DC is not the next Fedor.

In DC's defense, he annihilated Monson, Barnett and Staring. Barnett is not slouch either and he made him look like a chump.

Prediction: correct Cormier   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  


Mir has improved his boxing in the past years but his chin is his weakest point and DC has enough power to put him down in one punch, the interesting thing is that DC won´t be able to rely in his wrestling because of Mir great BJJ so the question is will Mir be able to avoid DC´s striking and impose his own pace...I don´t think so

Prediction: correct Cormier   correct Decision  

This is one of the easier predictions coming up......Cormier takes Mir down and beats his face in until he's pulled off. It will be like Mir/Lesnar 2 except not nearly as vicious. Nothing could be as vicious as that beating.

It would be very stupid of DC to takedown MIR that´s the only thing in which he has an advantage over DC.

he will finish Mir but not on  the ground

I don't think Cormier is good enough to beat Mir, let alone finish him.

Prediction: correct Cormier   correct Decision  

I agree w/ you @legacy on taking Mir down... that would be ridiculous.  Even clinching Mir would be foolish imo.  Cormier has better hands, even though Mir has improved.  Cormier needs to pace himself, outstrike him and wait until he hurts him... it probably will happen.

 

However... I'll be rooting for Mir!

@kalibo I like Mir and I never count him out, but DC is a bad style for him, it will be an exciting fight to watch of that I'm sure

Prediction: correct Cormier   correct Decision  

Mir has issues with wrestlers. Cormier on top of him reigning down punches is not a bad place for Cormier to be. If Brock wasn't so inexpierienced he would have smashed Mir twice on the ground instead of just once. DC can implement that same gameplan and not get subbed.
