It wasn't much of a difference from when i stood next to Wes, if i had to guess i'd think they were the same height.

I'm a big fan of Monson, but I agree the reach would kill him. I think the future of the HW division is with Kongo and Vera. Right now I give the advantage to Vera, that dude is a bad M'er F'er.

I just want to see him fight Big Tim because he earned it and he deserves his chance.

| Mir first task
Mir still has to beat Brandon Vera, which he will not do, so Kongo will probablly end up fighting Vera not Mir

the last 2 fights Mir has had he just looked like a slob. unless he really focuses on getting into shape, he will never be a threat in the heavyweight division again

Kongo is gonna dominate Mir, Mir has to submit Kongo otherwise he has no chance if you ask me and personaly I think Mir gets dominated cuz Kongo is a beast.

heh i wrestle and it kind of depends on the situation.. cuz im really tall for my weight so im much taller than people but i use my height as an advantage... but ya that is just saying that monson would have to get close to the piece of trailor trash errr aka tim sylvia to take him down.. but ill give tim credit he has some great kicks so i dont think monson could do it unless he catches him sleeping hits him with a few punches then takes him down.. but besides that the height difference is wayy to much..
but i really like how brandon vera is comin along.. i think unfortuantly he will destroy mir.. and i really liked mir but hes just being a bum now.. i mean i wouldnt have even given that last fight to him.. and hes not ready to fight someone thats got as much talent as vera.. but i agree with the statement the heavyweight is starting to become good ^_^ cuz the LHW is a joke a 1 man show.. and in middle weight if silva doesnt beat franklin noone can... but i do think lightwieght and welterweight are rich with talent and good match ups.. but i think penn should drop down... cuz hes gonna get his butt handed to him by hughes.. but thats another story
