The hate squad...
Im suprised how so many people give Brock no credit. The quote about Mir's grappling being superior is the icing on the cake.
Mir is good. He is excellent in fact. And now it seems he has his head on straight and is fighting the way people envisioned. I give him his due for his comeback. But again, I do not know what people were looking at during the first fight with Brock. Mir's face looked like mashed potatoes, he was getting RAPED on the mat. Brock left his foot out and Mir did the only thing he could. And again, he deserved the win. BUT, if it was not for that quick thinking in survival mode and Brock was able to keep pounding, it was lights out, goodnight, see you in the hospital for Mir.
Brock is superior in every single fucking aspect when it comes to Mir, except MMA experience. That showed in the first fight, but will it show again? Brock learns lightning fast and as stated was at one time the most decorated collegiate wrestler ever.
He does not look like anyone else in MMA, he is a genetic marvel. He has freak power and his body is built for this game. Just look at the fucking guy, his hands alone are "canned hams" as Couture said, huge. He has that killer instinct, the work ethic, and something to prove. He is the total package and is only getting better.
That being said ANYTHING can happen, thats the beauty of sport. I cannot wait to see it but my money is on Brock. If he ever faces Fedor, then I will reevaluate. Fedor, cannot match Brock physically in any aspect, but his ability to knockout anyone at anytime and his supreme skill, gives him a much better chance then Mir. In fact, I might even make Fedor the favorite in that one, how could you not considering that guys list of destroyed opponents . Thats how I see it...
