Mir will prepare for this the same way he did for the first Lesnar fight.
Turtle and take punches to the back of the head and hope the ref makes a bad decision to stand the fight up so he can pray for a submission.

Most likely JDS lands shots on Mir until he catches him with a big uppercut or hook and Mir will collapse. But there is no reason Mir can't land a big shot and grab a submission. Mir has ways to win, they just aren't extremely likely. He has shown finishing ability on the feet and the ground so he basically has a punchers and grapplers chance.

I've always felt Mir's sub game was overrated and JDS trains with the best submission fighters in the world

His combination of strength is technique is pretty dangerous. He has submitted some tough guys and trains with top guys himself. I just feel like people disrespect Mir alot because hes a cocky douchebag with a weak chin.

Isn't 35 year old Big Nog what you referred to as training with the best for JDS? Mir also submitted Travern years ago who is a hell of a grappler. Not many guys in the heavyweight division are exactly big time grapplers. Mir submitted who was put in front of him. He trains with Drysdale and Ricky Lundell and other top guys just like JDS. Mir is a really really good BJJ player.

I dont actually care and while I like Mir I also like JDS so I really don't care so much who wins. Im just arguing that he isn't as bad as many people think he is. He has a very small chane against JDS because he has no chin, JDS is quicker, his stand up is much better, his takedown defense is really good, and he probably has a good enough ground game to survive. However, Mir has the chance to win because he is a finisher on the feet and the ground. As I said, he has a punchers or grapplers chance.

Rashad didn't do Shiz, afraid to get finished, humbled by those early elbows, quite the snoozer. Shad just kind of quit after the middle of the third round. I love how guys like Rampage and Rashad make excuses and act like Jones isn't that good, then try to fliping do something then. At least Hendo who's next and Gustaffson will try to finish the fight even if they risk getting taken down and finished.

Jones should move to heavy weight no one in his class is touching him.

Henderson always has a chance vs anyone and I would like to see him fight Gustafsson sometime next year so he's not entirely done with the LHW division yet like Silva and GSP are with theirs

He doesn't have the power for heavyweight and would be severely out-sized in that division. He's going to stay at 205 just like GSP and Anderson Silva because that's the smart thing to do. And it's not like there's a shortage of 205 contenders coming through for him to fight.

Why the hell should Jones move up? Hendo is a very interesting fight to me. Also, Silva vs. Jones>>>>>Jones vs. JDS. If anyone should move up it is Anderson to fight Jones.

Yeah, that combined with Gustaffson being relatively easy to hit (Thiago caught him with those predictable haymakers) makes me think Jones just toys with him standing. I want to see the Machida rematch, that first round Machida took and he looked good.
