    Mir's been beat by Roy on the ground. Which is where the fight will go.

    But, I'm not sure Roy will get a decision over Mir. Just watch. He will clearly win 3 rounds but get the loss.

    Do body shots work through a tonne of flab? :huh

    Mir should win this fight on his feet or by submission. If he can't beat this calibre of opponent with his muy thai/boxing and bjj skills, then he is done as a legit force.

    country is the better top wrestler but i think frank has the more varied grappling. frank is a big man and roy is a small man covered in fat, so i think movement could suprisingly be on roy's side - its hard to say. roy thinks he is the best grappler at heavyweight! franks stand up has improved heaps.

    its a good fight, where i think frank at his best should win it but roy is a vet with good hands and good wrestling so his approach/strategy could win it for him.
