&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-136480&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;madheartmma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: WHAT? Did you watch countdown to UFC 107? Mir WANTS TO “PHYSICALLY DISMEMBER AND SCAR HIM FOR LIFE”. for life? that’s right folks..FOR LIFE.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Mir said he wanted to scar Kongo on a Mental Level guys.  . I just put it on from On Demand.  Frank should want to knock Cheick out if he wants to send a message to Brock.  

Frank made Brock look slow in the last fight when the striking is talked about.  I really don&#039;t think that Mir is worried at all about Kongos striking being that Brock is quicker in my opion and has heavier hands. Mir was getting rocked in that first fight and still had the clarity to go for a knee bar which never happens in the UFC.  The last one I can remember was Franky Edgar against Tyson Griffin UFC 67 and that didn&#039;t work..  Dudes..  when a fighter is getting rocked like that and still can pull out you have to give the guy credit. 

Mir made a mistake going for a knee bar in the last fight and he threw a flying knee against a dude with some of the highest caliber wrestling in the USA. Combine that with size and and just enough Jiu Jitsu defense and you got what happened.  Frank needs to train with Couture. The only man to get out from under Brock.  Kongo has ZERO wrestling and ZERO Jiu Jistu which you can&#039;t get with just 6 weeks of training without at least a solid wrestling base.  Frank has just  enough striking and More  than enough Jitsu.  Case Closed 1st or mid second at the latest.</description>

WHAT? Did you watch countdown to UFC 107? Mir  WANTS TO &quot;PHYSICALLY DISMEMBER AND SCAR HIM FOR LIFE&quot;. for life? that&#039;s right folks..FOR LIFE. (talk about a sore loser.) I&#039;ve had a broken jaw, it healed, it SUCKED, but it healed. VERY humbling experience, not dismembered, not scarred FOR LIFE. Not a limp in my step, just time to be quite, and reflect. Soooo..I seem to miss how this would be  coincidence? But &quot;fetussandwich&quot;, you sound like you think you are a pretty smart...person...enlighten me. I COULD BE WRONG. happens all the time. And while you explain this coincidence to me..what&#039;s up w/ your picture in the top right corner? Is that...um...lightweight...um racist? Or is that coincidence? Hey I could be wrong...happens all the time.</description>

I thought Mir looked hella-good when he made Brock tap out. Looked like he was playing the bongos on Frank’s ass.What did Brock last…a whole 90 seconds in that fight?

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So what you&#039;re saying is that Mir looks good only when Brock makes an incredibly inexperienced mistake in only his second fight? Yeah I&#039;ll agree with you there. 

All Mir needs to beat Brock is to hope his sickness made him forget all the improvements and changes to his game he&#039;s made since that first fight!!</description>

		<description>Frank&#039;s a smart dude, incredibly talented, but suffers from bouts of &quot;lack of motivation&quot;.  If he needs the Vanilla Gorilla to get amp-ed up to fight at 110%, I&#039;m all for it..

(Hey, Frank did remember to at least mention Kongo in the interview...)</description>

		<description>Mir your going off like Champ Kind from the Channel  Four News Team, who put it so elegantly when he said “We need you. Hell, I need you. I&#039;m a mess without you. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you, I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss your scent; I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together.”   It sounds like you’re a mess without Brock Lesnar.    I have one thing to say.  “Take it easy, Mir. Why don&#039;t you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while.”</description>

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-136279&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dufresne&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: As improved as Mir’s standup is, it’s still not on the level of Kongo’s. That being said, Mir has the ground game and the experience to win this fight.The one problem I see is if Mir really has looked past Cheick. If he’s been foolish enough to look past a dangerous stirker like Kongo, he’s going to be in for a long night. We’ve seen Mir go down to a decent standup fighter in Brandon Vera in the recent past, and though it sure looks like Mir has improved his standup, I don’t think it’s anywhere near Cheick’s. If Mir forgets who he is and decides to strike with Kongo, I don’t see this ending well for him; but Mir is smart, so I see him taking Kongo down and tapping him out in the 1st, possibly the 2nd if Kongo has actually seen the inside of a jiu jitsu gym since his last fight.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly! I&#039;m rather shocked at how many people think Mir has a chance if this fight stays standing. Only time Mir ever looked good on his feet was against a visibly weakened Minatauro. That being said, Kongo by KO or Mir by Sub.</description>

		<description>I just don&#039;t know how you can claim a guy looked good in a fight he lost in a minute and a half.

That doesn&#039;t make any sense to me at all.</description>

		<description>I really like Frank Mir and I&#039;m really pullin for him because he is a decent guy, he&#039;s just got a strange way of looking at things. That being said I would love a war, but I dont see this makin it past the 2nd and I doubt it&#039;ll go past the first. I doubt Mir is looking past Kongo, he just wants Kongo to think he has. If Kongo comes at Mir it&#039;ll be a quick takedown and a quick submission. If it stays on the feet for too long Mir might get dropped, and then grab a surprise submission. I&#039;ll bet Kongo has kind of looked past Mir, because I certainly believe he looked past Cain.

That didnt go well for him.</description>

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I thought Mir looked hella-good when he made Brock tap out. Looked like he was playing the bongos on Frank&#039;s ass.

What did Brock last...a whole 90 seconds in that fight?</description>

		<description>Mir is a duece, most mma fighters dont want to &quot;physical dismember, and  scar someone for life.&quot; (countdown to ufc show on spike). He&#039;s got issues, what an arrogant dude, I hope Kongo knees him in the face and breaks his jaw. So he wont talk about how tough, great, smart, and everything else conceded people say about themselves, he is. 
LET THE DISLIKES BEGIN !!</description>

		<description>As improved as Mir&#039;s standup is, it&#039;s still not on the level of Kongo&#039;s. That being said, Mir has the ground game and the experience to win this fight.

The one problem I see is if Mir really has looked past Cheick. If he&#039;s been foolish enough to look past a dangerous stirker like Kongo, he&#039;s going to be in for a long night. We&#039;ve seen Mir go down to a decent standup fighter in Brandon Vera in the recent past, and though it sure looks like Mir has improved his standup, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s anywhere near Cheick&#039;s. 

If Mir forgets who he is and decides to strike with Kongo, I don&#039;t see this ending well for him; but Mir is smart, so I see him taking Kongo down and tapping him out in the 1st, possibly the 2nd if Kongo has actually seen the inside of a jiu jitsu gym since his last fight.</description>
