Umm No. However, Juniper Roth thinks so, and his list of challengers is full of the usual suspects: Demian Maia, Yushin Okami, Nate Marquardt, Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson, and Michael Bisping. I've already laid on the groundwork on why he shouldn't be fighting these guys here. Here's his thoughts on Demian Maia:
Quote:
This man is said to make many black belts in Jiu-Jitsu feel like nothing more than a blue belt if that. Frank Mir has been one to confess that he thought he was actually good until he rolled with Maia. This is one of the reason’s the dangerous Brazilian is Mir’s head Jiu-Jitsu coach for his upcoming fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 100. Maia has expressed his excellent mastering of his skills in his 8 submission wins out of his 10 wins.
I am confident he will bring his A game if he get’s to fight Silva next, one of the main reasons I am confident in his ability is because he is now fighting with the Wand Fight Team which is lead by none other than former Pride-FC middleweight champ Wanderlei Silva. Who knows if he will be next, but if I was in the shoes of Matchmaker I know who would be first in line.
