I was really surprised to see Vera beat on Mir so easily. I seriously wonder if Mir is not what he used to be since his accident? I mean he lost to Marcio Cruz, now gets destroyed by Vera. I don't meant to take anything away from these guys, I was just shocked since Mir looked in great shape!
Mir is finished he just doesnt have it anymore for whatever reason.
However Vera, yes i do believe that Vera is just that good. He is exactly the type of fighter that can beat Tim Siliva which for the good of the UFC HW division needs to happen.
What a shame, Frank's a class act, it would have been amazing to have him as HW champ .. then you'd have 3 absolutely great, humble champs - Silva, Mir and St. Pierre
mir was in good shape...i really think vera is just a freak of nature...hes good as they come...i think hed run through some of prides lhw. he only landed one kneed and threw 3-4...if 2 had connected it wouldve even worse then what it was.
ive never seen that lil crusafix hold vera had mir in with both his arms tied up.
mir couldnt even hold his forearms together to block punchs...
........hands down best fight of the night.
I think Mir was ready to put up a good fight, he just got caught with a big knee that rocked him quickly in the fight and Vera capitalized on it. It really could have happened to anyone and I dont think we even really got to see if he is back to his old self. Hopefully the UFC gives him another chance cause i still think he could beet Sylvia again.
