Frank Mir vs. Daniel Cormier confirmed

AngryFoamy -

One thing no one can ever say about Mir is him dodging top fights.  He fights anyone!  Mad respect.

LOL daniel is going to destroy him. Phone Post

Looking forward to this. Great idea. Phone Post

Wow - this is out of left field. Never would have thought of Mir as an opponent for DC, but I like the matchup.

I'll take DC to win, then hope to see Mir vs Barnett - a bout I've wanted to see forever. Phone Post

Man...Mir gonna get out struck and hurt. Especially if he keeps his kids on as sparring partners. Phone Post

Mir takes this one.

Not for any specific reason, just the way it will run out. Phone Post

I don't see a way for Mir to win this. Anything can happen, but I doubt he can get DC to the ground and DC's stand up has looked pretty good lately. Phone Post

Can Mir sub DC? Phone Post

Wow thats fucking great. Good test for DC, nice name fight for him.

Thats a good card now, Gilbert/Healy and Mir/DC, solid card.

Really?? what happened to tim sylvia

And if this happens cormier wins easily. Mir will never ever get him down and cormier will hit him with one of those bungalows.

Black fedor by 1st/2nd round tko

wow, waaaay better option then Timmy Silva. Hard one to call, i am going with Murr....not a fan, just think experience takes this one.

This. Is. Awesome. I love getting blindsided by news like this. Bottom line is the fans win. Phone Post

.....Until Dana

This is far from confirmed Phone Post

Auzzie - You fight for zuffa, you simply fight the BEST guys.

It's simple as that.

Look at Rory vs BJ Penn; a future champion vs a legend who still has it.

This fight is just another example of zuffa making the matches that need to happen.
You think Rory v BJ needed to happen?


kind of, yea

because the fans get so much from this fight

agreed! thank god we finally see a crossover. hope this is things to come or "business as usual"

Chomas -  this confirms the death of hammers hammil like was suspected

wierd matchup, not sure why Mir would take the fight but OK Im in

yeah what happened to him?? do not think i read about him going away!?! how does this confirm the death of the leak?

 Cormier via KO, TKO or Decision.



I say Mir will be finished...Murr is and will always be a poor-mans version of Barnett.











Flame on

Why keep throwing BJJers at Cormier? He's already owned three in a row. If they're going to send over a UFC guy, should atleast be a competent striker if he's going to challenge JDS. Phone Post

epwar - So much for the "we can't send guys to Strikeforce" line Dana was touting a few months ago.
They're only doing this to protect DC's name, since he's coming to the UFC. If DC weren't important, this wouldn't be happening. They don't want to wait forever to get him, and they don't want to see him lose ground by fighting somebody like Rizzo.
