Frank Mir's not happy "on a social level" with fighting Arlovkski

[Luke]

Not much, I just checked my email and saw Luke's message. How is everyone?

Wohoo!!! At least I know one person read it

[Ludo]

I read it, too, but I had already been back here a couple hours by then. Does that count?

[Luke]

Mir will never be champ again but he has put a few wins together. So you have to give him his due.

And I agree about Werdum/Cain II. Can we not just chill with the instant rematches?

Id give Mir a chance against Werdum. Not saying he'd win, but think he stands a better chance than AA

Sure


I get a half point

Call it a free throw

I'm not sure why Cain is getting the rematch. Seeing as he only defended the belt twice, against the same two people he'd already fought, in the same order he'd fought them in the first time around. But I don't think he has anything for Werdum anyway, this is just a formality to quell the butthurt Cain fans about him getting shut down in every aspect of his game with a quickness.

I honestly wanted Arlovski to get the shot, seeing as he was the only one who deserved one at the time.

What's really funny is that, to this very day, Tim Sylvia still holds the UFC record for most Heavyweight Title defenses of all time.

My only guesses to why Cain is getting the rematch:


1. He told Dana he was hurt going in
2. Dana really wants to become big in Mexico and think Cain is the key

Mir is one of the worst gameplanners I've ever scouted so I wouldn't be surprised if he just stands there and tries to box with Arlovski. If he does, hopefully he'll get what he deserves for not fighting to his strengths.

I wonder if Mir could even get Arlovski down? His takedowns aren't great, but then again Schaub got AA down so it's very possible.

Schaub times his takedowns well.

When is the last time Mir took someone down?

[SPX]

I dunno. I remember took Roy Nelson down several times.

[Éire]

This. Schaub deserves all the shit he gets about his chin and his stand up but his takedowns aren't bad.

Was just asking.

This is basically the only time he's ever been on top on the ground in his entire UFC career. For me that should be he's go to gameplan but he pretty much never goes for takedowns.

I was gonna say he took Tank Abbott down (lol) but I guess even there Tank did most of the work for him. . .
