“I didn’t see it coming, I’ve always seen him as a ‘cocky’ guy. I guess he’s a very good athlete, and he proved the world he has great Jiu-Jitsu level… I don’t see myself as the best on the ground, but I’ve shown the world I can handle things there. I guess this fight (against Mir) could happen, absolutely… My next appointment is Roy Nelson, but it’s one of the fights that might come up.”
Well said most of us think of Mir as a Cocky sort of character. Really humgle for a man who Snapped Nogs arm and could have spouted some sort of madness about his MMA JJ being better!
Id love to see this fight happen. Both guys Striking has come on really well, it would be a fun fight to watch Standing and despite Nog beating him standing I think I would slightly favor Mir on the feet just based on Boxing skills alone. Werdums Muay Thai has looked really improved recently but I think Mirs punch power woud tip it in his favor.
He said himself Werdum holds the grappling advantage, so this is a close fight in my eyes and a legit number 1 contenders fight too.
Hope Werdum wins tomorrow night.
