Frank Mir
 
So Frank's fighting Dan Christison at UFC 61 eh?

For the record (and anyone who's read some of my earlier posts will confirm!) I can't stand the guy. He's an egotistical asshole, however I am quite glad he's back.

With the state of the UFC HW division at the moment they/we need some big name & good fighters & Franks return can only be good for the game.

Christison is a former TUF2 fighter, so I'm gathering that they are easing Frank in a bit gentler with this fight, although at 6.8 & 270lbs I'm sure it won't be a walk in the park for him.

Let's hope Mir's a lot better prepared this time around.

(Man that was hard, I think I'm gonna be sick!)

Was Dan the one that quit right off the bat?

no no

he was the one that replaced that guy right?

yea I just looked him up, that guys a gamer how did he lose in TUF again?

Ima go with the upset, and pick him to win vs Mir.

mir already made is return and got destroyed by pe de pano. i think he has problems with dan because dan is a huge guy and if mir is out of shape he could be in trouble again.

Mir did get his ass handed to him but i would charge it to ring rust. Dana needs to break bread and get some Pride HW to make the division worth watching.

Frank Mir will be fine....give him a year and he'll be Champ again....the last fight he was a victim of a nasty cut.....I still think, if not for the cut he would've ended up winning that fight.:boxing2: :snakegriffen:

No chance.

Pe De peno kicked his ass from start to finish. I agree he will be back to how he was soon & I hope he does, but unless he grows some nads & keeps battling in a fight that he's not dominating he will be an also-ran. But a good also-ran!

Mir has a tough time with overly big guys. He had a very hard time with Simms and barely got the knockout and look what Pe de Pano did to him. Dan is a hitter and will hurt Mir if he tries to keep it standing. Mir has a tough time closing the distance and he eats alot of punches doing it. Also, he better be in 3/5 minute round shape. I don't know, I smell an upset.

Seth won by decision ( i think ). Dan did say after 'it wasnt me in there' meaning not his usuall game i suppose.

he's defeated Sylvia who is huge and He Koed Simms in round 2.i don't think he has trouble against big guys.He's a great fighter who will be champion again.and you can quote me on that.
