Mir is the only one really deserving in the thin division but I’m not a fan of them putting a division on hold again just for the TV show.

I like Mir but I don’t think he would have earned a shot in any other division but at heavyweight with his body of work. He looked good in his last two wins but the quality of competition comes into play and he submitted a UFC newcomer with little jiu jitsu practice. Though him withstanding the barrage was commendable the submission shouldn’t come as a surprise.

I think Lesnar challenges for the title soon enough. He’ll just need to be smart and not follow anyone to the ground and keep it standing for any change. We’ll see but I think the UFC wants him in ASAP in case he were to lose a couple of bouts. He has tons of potential and should be a solid fighter in the UFC.

FRANK MIR!?!?!?!? But lets face it, how many heavyweights diserve a title shot??? I honestly think they should take a page out of PRIDE’s book and go with a tournament for the HW #1 contender that would make a much better ultimate fighter season, throw a bunch of big names in one house with some light weights as the coaches! Plus who wouldnt want to see tha big dumb fat ass silvia crying before his fights???

Nog speaks decent English. Not the best but definitely understandable. He spoke to the UFC fight club before UFC 82 in March.

That one guy was right, UFC HW division is turning into boxings HW division, there’s not a lot there to watch. It sucks we’re prob gonna be waiting atleast 7 months for a title fight, where as there are only 5 belts in the UFC. A great option for coaches would’ve been Arlovski and Couture.
