Pretty much since his college days... He was div 2 champion. As Im not an american I got no idea how huge difference there is bitween div 1 and div 2 champs, but on paper its still better wrestling background than almost everyone on ufc has.

I'm actually glad this fight is taking place I've always questioned Shanes legitimacy as earning that title shot.
If he can get past Frank, I think he's finally earned it TBH.

GSP - Hardy
Carwin - Mir
Alves - TBA
Almedia - TBA

some of you guys value your opinions way to much. at the end of the day your comments ARENT i repeat ARENT going to change anything...
mir is a very talented fighter and he is a top hw, and i for one am very interested to see how mir can handle a larger opponent with his added mass. In march he may even be cutting to 265 which would make it a whole different ball game against brock....
you guys remember before 104, when everyones like omfg shogun doesnt deserve a title shot!!! lyoto will pwnz000r him... yea i didnt hear anyone saying he didnt deserve a title shot after he whooped lyotos ass...
calm down lets see how this plays out  |

a lot of people come here for updates on whats actually going on in the mma world. so if pointless threads keep getting bumped by people who think theyre extremly important and just say random nonsense...
the annoying thing is the problems created by people not considering different perspectives, like hmmm maybe frank mir is deserving of a shot at an interm belt rather than ranting and going on about how their favourite up and coming heavyweight deserves it more than him...
nice troll bro stay hot... |

In the thread I posted about Alves returning, I think JP mentioned that Alves might be fighting Almeida.

yeah its not like he said he was better than ALMOST everyone in the ufc..of course there are a few who have better credentials, but that still doesnt necessarily mean that they're better mma wrestlers, hell gsp has no wrestling credentials and Id wager p4p he's probably the best wrestler in mma
