damn this is a sick ass mother flucking card
Flucking right.
****ing A mother ****ers – you’re ****ing right
think Velasques wins!
Mir got lucky against big nog
Which time did Mir get lucky?
When he knocked him out, or when he made Nog tap?
you know damn well when haha..when he was flopping around like a fish after those shots from nog….i like mir as much as the next guy but get off his nuts haha…it ended up bein a sick tapout but he was in some hot water..no matter what he or u say for that matter…
LUCKY? No such thing in MMA. You create your own “luck” – it’s called training and experience. Yes he got wobbled, but because of his experience he knew what to do. He demolished Big Nog 2 times.
Yeah whatever. That win had less to do with Mir and more to do with Big Nog getting cocky about his submissions. But I suppose that’s just because I don’t even think about Mir’s submission skills anymore–just assume it’s gonna be nasty if it goes to the ground.
Nice!
Mir won because of the error of Nod.
But he was overwhelmed during the whole fight ..
In the fight against Nelson he fought very badly!
What are you talking about, he fought great against big country, I don’t know what fight you watched. Some sick throws. You know how hard that is to do against a bjj black belt?
The Reem is photobombing this shiz
Almost as bad as the Steven Seagl photobomb lmao.
WARRR CAIN!!!!
CHAA
Great card, great matchups. Cain is going to punch the shit outta mir.
hope cain takes mir’s head off
the guy wearing the suit usually loses.
Have you ever not seen gsp wear a suit? 1 point for me
oh oh! +1 more point!
GSP always wears a suit stupid
Huge fan of both .. Mir n Cain! May the best man win. I’m in a dilemma here.. One of my favs will have to fight my other fav the HW champ the REEMMONSTER! Great fights but this kinda sux for me!
Is it just me or does Dana look a little derpy in this pic?
Also… sweet matchup.
Can not wait
I SOOO HOPE CAIN PUTS MIR AWAY
Gotta go with brown pride in this one.
****ing idiot. Mir got lucky? More bandwagon mma fans. Mir by sub
Mir can absolutely win if he doesn’t come in too big and works on his cardio he has to act like the old school killer and not be 100% technical like he does now. Mir is my favorite hw of all time but he loses if he doesn’t get his cardio right and tries to be too technical. I’m definitely going for Mir but wown’t be shocked if Cain gets the win. Having said that …. WAR MIR!
JDS kills Mir!
Sweet! So you’re rooting for Mir to win the #1 contender bout.
I think it’s safe to say no matter which preference we have, we’re ALL going to enjoy this fightcard!
this I hope will be a great fight I like both of these guy if they both show up to fight who nose who will win
Did you just use ‘nose’ for ‘knows’??? That’s hilarious! Oh yeah, PUNCTUATION!!!! God damn did any of you ****tard go to school?? If you’re gonna sound stupid try not look stupid as well. You know what they say, “Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…” (hint: replace duck with stupid)
will be a good fight. I see Cain dominating but Mir can break an arm…
Cain might get knocked or tapped out.
I definately think Cain is going to win. Mir will not be able to keep up with him. (assuming Cain is fully healed up).
He SURE AS HELL can’t stand up with those mexican bombs he throws in the standup.
