Mir's heavy hands are over rated they are slow and they are not very accurate. Mir is nowhere near close to K-1 level striking. Mir doesnt have a high level submission skills, nowhere near compared to Fedor and to Werdum. Mir is at best a local champion while both Fedor and Werdum are international level grapplers. If Frank Mir truely wanted to fight Fedor (and not blowing hot air out of his proverbial then he should seek Fedor and fight him in Strikeforce.

Mir has the jiujistu skills to submit Fedor given the chance. Of course - Fedor would most likely pound the side of his head in before that happened but I would still like to see the fight.
It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility. It wouldn't be Tyson-Douglas or anything (although it might have seemed that way a few years ago). Mir would still be a rightful underdog, probably fetching at least a fourfold return.
