Strikeforce Cormier vs Mir

[poopoo333]

Well he didn't exactly just slip out of it or anything. In fact, it seems like I remember you saying it almost gave you a heart attack or something to that effect.

I had a slight heart attack every time Barnett threw a punch, I had 10 units on Cormier

[SPX]

BOL. Well in any case, I would at least say that the incident proved that Cormier can get himself into some trouble against a good sub guy.

[poopoo333]

It's probably going to come down to striking. Mir will not be able to take Cormier down. Cormier will probably not go for the takedown at all in this fight, he is a smart fighter.

[SPX]

Mir should go for a flying triangle.

Yeah, the thing about Mir, though, I wouldn't be surprised if he just dominating the striking and Cormier has to take him down. Probably not going to happen, but Mir is unpredictable as hell.

i would be suprised if he dominated. Now that you mentioned it I actually think he could out point him. He would be throwing kicks + knees. Of course so would cormier. Even if Mir caught a kick he probably couldnt get cormier down that easily. Kickboxing match? Who wins that?

Cormier probably. Maybe. Depends if super Mir shows up.

UberMeer would be even better.

I just talked to Franks Dad, he said that His Son is going to do his Koopa Troopa impression at the first sign of pain.

When has Frank Mir ever shown really good and crisp striking? He was able to throw the same combo against UFC 92 version of Nog and land, and one overhand right against Kongo.

Yeah, the fist Nog fight was what I was thinking about. Of course, Nog lit him up in the second fight. He did win a kickboxing match with Cro Cop. I know that is not a major accomplishment at that point in time, but it is still something to consider. On the other hand, Cormier has only had one dazzling striking performance himself (Bigfoot). That said, I do think Cormier will win easily, just would not be shocked to see Mir do something crazy.

I think Rockhold's going to win pretty easily.

[poopoo333]

Me too, I am going to lay the price. Probably a Rockhold/Cormier parlay big
