I think Mir looked fat. Plus, his game plan was complete garbage. Sure, Junior's tough to take down, but there was no way in hell Frank was going to succeed banging with him, he needed to pull out all the stops and force the ground game, and not relent until he made that happen, period. That was his only chance. Staying on the feet after a lame takedown attempt was idiotic. The longer it stayed on the feet, the closer he was to being at the receiving end of a fast combo from a guy who hits like a sledgehammer. I think this is it for Mir, maybe he'll fight Struve or do a rematch w/Carwin, but other than that, I think he may be done.
I couldn't see a good viewing angle of Struve's sub over Lavar Johnson, but tell you what, if this kid doesn't get KO'd, he's dangerous as hell. What a talent. What a lanky, super tall freak, what a nightmare for anyone who doesn't get inside and knock the wind out of him quickly.
Holy crap, the prelims were pretty intense!
- Glover T destroyed Kingsbury, that was embarrassing for Kyle, holy sh*t
- Hardy clocked Ludwig (really liked the humbleness post-fight from Dan)
- Miller was fighting on a bum knee, that fight was horrible, how the hell did he get past med clearance?!!
- Varner TKO'd Barboza, wwwwooow!!! (that was really a KO, IMO, he was knocked senseless during that pounding even though he was still moving like he wasn't)
- How'd you like Elkins coming back from a savage beating by Brandao and winning?!! That is one TOUGH kid!!
