Mir is gonna get smashed. I will sig, av, whatever bet anyone on this. He brings up Barnett to dismiss Mir's claim that he has fought no one. This fight takes place where ever DC wants. If he wants to pick up Mir and throw him for 15 minutes he does, if he wants to stand and bang for 15 he does, and if he wants to GnP him for 15 minutes he does; unless this fight is 25 minutes (can't remember) then just add ten more to the total. I think Mir gets KO'd. I like Mir, but DC is on another level right now.

Godammit, I had written out a whole response, but my computer forced an automatic restart so it could do an update.

Basically the gist of it was:

bla blah blah I usually agree with you 99% of the time blah blah blah but Mir's wins over Cro Cop and Big Nog(2x) blah blah blah also former UFC champions Brock, Sylvia, blah blah blah

blah blah blah, Cro Cop was obviously past prime, but Nog won interim title from Sylvia rabble rabble rabble Mir was first person to KO him rabble rabble if you want to blame declining chin, Mir was also first person to submit him rabble rabble rabble

IMO Big Nog (2x), Cro Cop, Prime Sylvia, Nelson, Kongo, even Lesnar >>>> Barnett, Bigfoot, Monsoon.

Also, Frank finished all those guys except for Roy "Adamantium Head" Nelson, which has nothing to do with the level of his opponents, but I thought was an interesting tidbit.

The Strikeforce guys stick together. Just like the WEC fighters have a certain bond.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mir looked like Frankenberry again, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Mir took a limb home with him. Mir has the ability to pull some unexpected shit out of his ass, and yes I mean that literally, it is not a metaphor.
