Former UFC heavyweight champion looked fit last night at the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) event for which he was one of two ringside announcers.
He's turned in better non-fighting performances for sure. But it didn't phase me much because once again I got sidetracked, thinking that maybe at UFC 74: "Respect" he will return to pre-motorcycle accident form against Antoni Hardonk.
It's a general assessment, considering he was all professional looking. Nonetheless, it's an intriguing prospect and one that is shared among numerous fans.
After sub-par performances against Marcio "Pe de Pano" Cruz, Dan Christison and Brandon Vera since his return, it's safe to say that there is only one way for him to go -- and that is up.
Here's what Mir had to say in a recent MMAWeekly.com article:
"Everything's really good. Everything's as good as can be expected. Everybody knows my career and accidents happen and I've been stumbling along the way ever since. I've been trying to make sure I get back up on my feet and go strong and have a good showing. He's dangerous on his feet, he's an Ernesto Hoost student. Obviously I want to keep the stand-up with him to a minimum and obviously he's going to want to keep it to the maximum. I think its going to come down to whoever gets what they want."
I want a convincing win. Does that count for anything?
