Cain Velasquez Thinks Bigfoot Poses More Threats Than Mir
By Jamie McAllister
Cain Velasquez in an interview with TATAME.
Velasquez makes the comparison between Bigfoot Silva & Frank Mir.
“They’re similar a little bit, but I think Silva is better all around. He does more kicks than Mir does, he uses his hands on his feet, good Jiu-Jitsu on the ground. I think Silva is more of a control guy on the ground, so he’s good all around.”
“He does everything good. He does kicks, punches, knees, on the ground he’s good… I fought big guys. I fought big guys good on the stand-up, I fought big guys who are good wrestlers and on the ground, but a guy who has a combination of all of that, I never seen before.”
Silva is coming off a loss to Daniel Cormier, Velasquez’s training partner. However Velasquez does not feel like this gives him an advantage.
“It was so quick. I can’t really judge from that. I’m expecting a different kind of fighter this Saturday”

yeah, this might as well be the bigfoot vs cormier rematch, as i see the exact same thing happening.
I think Cain is right, Big Foot is more dangerous than Francisco Santos Miranda alias Frank Mir
heheheh! ^^
For as long as Ive been a die hard MMA fan, I have never known that! Lol. Goodstuff!
maybe thats why people call him frank murr sometimes
Silva Thrashed Fedor, I’d respect him too. To not do so would be tactically poor.
Only reason Cain said this is because Bigfoot Silva is a terminally ill child and he asked the Make A Wish foundation to get Cain to suggest he felt he was a threat. Hats off to Cain for being a stand up guy.
Thats mir’s real name? Id say frank mir too!! Haha
