Frank Mir: "Fedor Wants No Part Of Facing Real Competition"

He has as good of an offensive guard as any Heavyweight this side of Fedor.

 

He does tend to get beaten up in the guard. When he gets beaten up his subs tend to be less active.

So if Rogers hit him with those shots I could see Frank getting stunned and pummeled, on the way to a TKO.

 

Sticking up for your man.. What you say is true, and it says something about Mir, but it also says how lacking the heavyweight division is. After all, when we talk about heavy weight submission guys, we are talking Fedor, Nog, Mir and possibly Barnett? Heck, he's in the top five.. Must mean he's dynamic eh?

Where Fedor's guard can be argued against everyone's, in every weight class, Mir's cant. Everything Mir does well, Fedor is considerably better at, quicker at, and he is bonafide in his well roundedness, where Mir has shown he can stand in one fight.

After watching Vera faceroll Mir, are you so certain he would have such an easy time with Rogers? I'm fully aware that Vera and Rogers have completely different skill sets. But, had Mir been caught with those shots, that Fedor got caught with?

Fighters are measured in their wins AND losses right? No excuses for Nogs loss to Mor, so no excuses for Mir's loss to Vera... Heck, also reconsider Rogers, while he doesn't have really any very impressive wins, he really doesn't have any devaluing losses. He did better against Fedor than most. I think he did better against Fedor than Mir would have as well.

Lets not forget.. Don't let me accuse you of anything false.. But, I believe you may have been among the Couture lovers, who went along with rating him above Fedor when he came back and beat Sylvia after getting demolished by Liddell. Going along with the UFC crowd every time, is a little odd for someone who is technically, and overall far more knowledgeable than myself Beebs.. When I hear Mir open his mouth, I keep in mind his career as a fighter.. Only until very recently was he not lazy, and somewhat cocky.. He wins the belt and all of a sudden he got super cocky and thinks he's a better striker than Lesnar? Thinks he would have won that fight had it been a standup, after he spent the majority of his career on his back?

Frank Mir is a blackbelt, gets in the ring and deserves a level of respect for what he does.. But that granted, he's kicking **** up on the curb of a block he doesn't even belong on.

 

Funny how many people said Mir was either going to get KO'd standing or smashed "because everybody pounds him from guard and Kongo has viscious GnP".

Then he goes out and drops him with one punch and finishes it immediatly, but "everybody knew that would happen"

Anybody ready to repent for their sins?

 

Fedor would beat mir then come back and beat lesnar. These fools talks too much crap. If they really want to fight fedor all they have to do is sign with strikeforce. Fedor could add another former ufc champ in his resume.

 

Its beef between organizations, Dana's style, the UFC's style is to talk ****, say they are better.. Strike force asks them to back their **** up, put money where their mouth is and have fighters go at it between the two org's, but Dana refuses because of financial reasons.

In the end, it's all about money. Dana can, and will talk **** about other fighters, and people will believe him.. So why bother setting up fights between the organizations? There is no need to.. Only thing Dana has in a situation like that is to lose money to another org. If he were a gambling man, and really believed the **** he talks, he would set up fights between the two orgs, and obliterate them in the ring, leaving absolutely no questions about who has the better fighters..

In reality, Dana knows Strikeforce has some dangerous guys, some of his fighters will lose, and that will ultimately create a bigger niche for Strikeforce.

 

Looks like Mir has been hanging out with Overeem.

Hint hint, Wink wink, Nudge nudge...

 

Exactly. The idea that Fedor the #1 fighter has to go looking for everyone else is laughable.

 

haha. prediction not to sharp eh

 

That's a ridiculous statement to make. Considering "UFC" fighters feel the biggest fights are IN THE UFC. Nobody is gonna contradict themselves and leave like that. You should know that.

 

exactly bro.. like pacman and mayweather. They don't go look for opponent, the opponents comes to them. It should be the same with fedor. If these ufc fighters really want to test themselves then go to strikeforce and test yourself against the best.

 

I know they ain't gonna leave ufc but if they really want to test themselves against the best then once their contract is over, come to strikeforce and fight the last emperor. So far those ex ufc stars ain't looking so good. Fedor only needed less than 5 minutes to put away 2 ex UFC Champs (arlovski-Sylvia)

 

That's a better statement. When they're contract is over.
