Fourteener - I wonder what Franks gonna do if he loses.
I hope he doesn't. Always enjoyed his fights.
If? I love the guy - he's been one of my favorite fighters to watch throughout the years, but let's be realistic here.
let's also be realistic about Bigfoot. he's become skinny, and his last fight, against Arlovski, he looked completely out of it even before the fight started.
apparently Bigfoot really needs his TRT, whereas Frank said he doesn't, and has taken the time to address the underlying issues.
I think Frank is well-rested and well-healed, and ready to put it on the line, whereas Bigfoot is depleted and full of doubt, half-defeated already. the fact that it's in Brazil will only work AGAINST Bigfoot, mentally, by adding extra pressure which he doesn't need.
Mir by better lucidity, and superior movement and quickness. at this point, Bigfoot has a puncher's chance, and will retire after this loss.
I'm just going with what my eyeballs are telling me here, so I could be WAY off, but I'm going to have to go with 5PM (EST), or approximately 5 hours and 24 minutes from now.

I think you're being totally delusional - but I'd love it if you ended up being right.
I just have to be a realist here. Mir hasn't had much going for him in 4 years - I don't know why today would suddenly be the big turn around.
