This is going to be a very good fight.
I believe Mir will have a strong chance once it hits the ground and im sure it will it the ground!!!
I don’t think Mir will be able to take Cormier down. JDS revealed his weakness. Mir is a great fighter, but I think after his bike accident, he hasn’t been the same.
