Mir and the heavyweights
Mir is pretty sexy, but beating Lesnar shouldn't warrant a title shot. The fact that he was getting beat up pretty bad, and caught an inexperienced wrestler with a submission it’s not like he went out pulled guard and dominated that fight. His was eating punches pretty steadily in that fight. If Lesnar would have stayed on his feet, he likely would have won that fight.
But who else is worthy of fighting Nog in the UFC? Outside of Nog, they don't have a top five heavyweight anywhere. In one-three years that may be different, but right now Affliction is where the big bulls fight.
I never understood the glory around heavyweights, even in boxing, the greatest fights of all time, minus one or two, are always from the smaller weights. More action, more drama…of course heavyweights are known for “big” finishes.
The fights I do want to see at Heavyweight are in affliction possibly, Fedor and Barnett down the road, and even Fedor/Arlovski.
