i agree with that to an extent. A solid all around fighter currenly I can see a case to be made. But Mir has never struck me as that guy. Prime for prime crocop sends him out on a stretcher.
I really like Frank more and more as time goes by. He isn't unstoppable but he is self analytical in his mindset, physical ability and skill. He grows on me more and more. This is a very interesting fight. CC has the better stand up but Mir has decent stand up now. Cro has a decent TD defence but grappling is what Mir does best. IF Mir locks a sub, he is going home with a body part.
Because prime CC was juiced. What happened when he came to the UFC? He fought Gonzaga and CC himself nearly needed a stretcher.
