"I have a lot of respect for Andrei. He's a guy that if my kids were to tell me right now they were fans of Andrei, I would completely cultivate that," Mir said. "Here's a guy who was at the top. He went from the pinnacle of our sport to getting cut, signing with other organizations, losing more and he's getting put out cold. Everyone is saying he's done, his chin is gone, he needs to retire and this guy doesn't listen to anybody. He just said, 'Nope, I'm going to keep moving forward and figure out a way.' He's better now."
"In one sense, I'm not happy about it on a social level. I think we both have a lot to offer the sport and I don't want to see either one of us derailed right now. I would have been much happier with this situation if we could have skipped each other at this point. I could have fought someone else in the top three and he could have fought Werdum for the title and then we could have faced each other in a title fight instead if he would have won," Mir said.

true story, frank mir hit on my brothers girlfriend last week on facebook

People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
The timing is pretty weird, but at the same time its good that its happening so we dont have to worry that it will never happen.

Anytime two elite HWs are fighting Im usually entertained. It was cool to see the clash of styles with Mir trying to set up counters and takedowns while Andrei tried to stick and move. Also neither seemed to have a clinch game in mind but much of the fight ended up there and it was cool to see them both try and adapt to that.

That fight sucked, analyze it all you want.

Different strokes I suppose :) Do you guys think Mir would be a good first fight for Fedor if he signs with the UFC, or would that be too much too soon?
