    Because it's Frank Mir who's about as consistent as diarrhoea.

    Mir is back every other fight. Every other fight, he's found the answer, the MMA gods, the fountain to keep him motivated, focused, and new sense of purpose.

    Mir is 6-2 in his last 8 fights, which were against decent to high caliber opponents. If you tell me he is a world beater that will soon obliterate his division, you are overselling him a bit. If you call him an overrated bum, you are underselling him a great deal.

    Mir is a solid top 10 fighter with the ability to win against anyone on the right night. Mir has top notch submissions and fight ending power. He is a threat standing, and from his back.

    I would be shocked to see Mir win the UFC title and go on to defend it several times. I would never be shocked to see him defeat any opponent put in front of him either.
