I don't. Matt would likely get his **** kicked in. It to big of a jump to fast. Mir chin aint the best so Matt has a puncher chance, but other then that he getting worked. I think you all are forgetting how good mir is standing. Matt be fighting people far lower on the food chain, then people Mir typically fights.

it was just a question. i agree, mir would beat mitrione. i like mitrione and his "i piss excellence" is kinda funny but maybe he is getting a little ****y. you think he would tell mir he would "**** him up" like he told morecraft during the weigh ins?

What about Mir v Kongo II, in their first fight Mir dropped him like Barry did but then sunk in a choke and put him to sleep ... Maybe cupCheick should have a chance to get the loss back.

I think Mir's arsenal is just too diverse for Mitrione at this point in time. Matt throws alot of straight punches, despite finishing the fight with 3/2/3 combo.... He doesn't throw knee's and we haven't really seen his clinch game alot. I'm pretty sure he asked for Kongo at one point in time, and the common thought was Barry/Mitrione would happen if they both won, so why not Kongo/Mitrione to see who takes a step up in competition again!

Not to mention Mir would probably never take this fight, it does nothing for his career or his aspirations to fight for the title again.

@bklettke, I think Kongo vs Mitrione is a great idea. I was hoping for Mitrione vs Barry but that probably won't happen now. Kongo vs Mitrione would be a good fight to see if Mitrione really is ready for a step up in competition.

I like the idea of Nelson/Mitrione or Herman/Mitrione
I think the Schaub/Nogueira winner should fight Mir.

I like Mir fighting the winner of Schaub/Nogueira since Mir was scheduled to fight both at some point in the last year or so

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I liked the Schuab/Mir fight, and if Nogueira is healthy he will beat Schuab, then avenge his embarrassing loss to Mir.

@ mino. i agree with you that schaub is over-rated and a little arrogant. so mitrione and schaub (both being kinda arrogant) could be a good staredown. i think mitrione knocks out schaub like nelson did in TUF finale. mitrione is like cerrone in that aspect. there are alot of fighters i want to see fight those two guys.

I think a prime NOG beats nearly anyone, but he's not in his prime anymore. I think Schaub is going to be Mintauro's last win the UFC and only because he's fighting in Brazil. He's been in too many wars to hang with upper echelon fighters. I think Mir TKO's both Schaub and big nog.
