What Mir should be doing. And why he is garbage.


With Mir's new found weight (265 pounds) does anyone else agree he should be going for takedowns and working for a submission? I feel this would be his best option.

Mir is famous for his submissions, winning 8 of his 13 fights with them. All were within the first half of the very first round. If Mir is on his back and doesn't get that submission he turns into a turtle.

See:
Lesnar
Vera
Cruz
Freeman

and Carwin..Sorta.

All his losses were via Ground and pound. Why? Because his BJJ is overrated.

His standup is also very overrated. He beat a Nogueira that was suffering from a staph infection and he knocked over Cheick Kongo. and Suddenly he feels his stand-up is A1? Get real.

I feel Mir is overrated in almost every aspect and none of his skills are superior. At the VERY best you could call him well rounded.
