Prediction: correct Barnett   wrong Decision  

This fight gives me warm fuzzies inside. I wonder if UFC would cut Frank Mir if he were to lose three in a row, being that he helped pioneer a lot of the heavyweight division to make it what it is today? Ironically both guys have lost a decision to Cormier in their last one or two fights, which I find to be a bit funny. Right now I am thinking Barnett by decision, but I am not really sure.

Prediction: correct Barnett   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I don't see any area where Mir has an advantage.  Whether standing or on the ground, Barnett wins this by TKO.

Pulling for Frank here. I dislike both guys but I hate Barnett more and Mir, I think, can submit Barnett and outstrike him.

Prediction: correct Barnett   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Even though Mir is a couple years younger than Barnett, i think he has less in him at this point, plus I think Barnett has the better overall game.

Prediction: correct Barnett   wrong Decision  

I would love this fight to be a fun war on the ground, but if I'm honest I think Barnett comes out swinging looking to smash, he's said before a fights a fight. He isn't looking to play Mir's game and will use more than just submissions. The question for me is can Frank get it to the ground? We all know how dangerous he is if one limb is left hanging, he'll rip the son'***** off! But seriously I think Barnett takes this (I'm a huge Mir fan btw), praying Franks striking is on form (at least enough to get by i.e Nelson and Cro Cop fights, yeah I know it wasn't a ''Prime'' Cro Cop I'm just stating that Franks striking was okay that night, jeez lay off :P), he can get it to the ground, or Barnett puts him down and bum rushes him and gets caught. As of this moment Barnett by decision, just my opinion (I hope I'm wrong) peace out hombres :)

Depends on which Mir shows up. If the Mir who fought JDS and Cormier shows up, then he doesn't have much of a chance.. if the Mir who broke Big Nog's arm shows up, then I think he will take it.

That Mir is the same one.  the difference is that Cormier and JDS didn't play the ground game with him.

Better late than never i guess. This fight would have been amazing 3-4 years ago but now I think Barnett can stuff Mir's takedowns and probably land a few of his own I also believe that Barnett is the better striker at this point  Im taking Barnett winning a landslide decision.

I see a lot of people underrating Josh and picking Mir to win this fight, but I don't see how. Josh is as good as Mir on the ground if not better and has the better wrestling and stand up, so I really don't see how Mir can beat him.

Is this fight flying under the radar or what?

This is a huge fight; the return of a former UFC champion* and legend that still seems to have some gas in the tank left. Although a Mir win wouldn't really rattle anything, it would be great for him to have one more upset under his belt, however, I'm hoping that Barnett wins and legitimizes his position in the division, there are interesting fights for him at the top 5 that I'd love to watch.
