In a perfect world Frank Mir would not have had a motorcycle accident and he would have found a way to challenge Fedor in Pride in 2004-2005 or in 2009 after he defeated Nogueira.
Well, that didn't happen and we got to see this fight only yesterday but hey I was quite happy to finally see them fight.
To be honest with you I wasn't surprised with what happened and I believe that if they had fought before we would have had the same result. Fedor's speed and power was too much for Mir yesterday and it would have been too much before too.
There is really not that much to say about yesterday's fight and the question I've been having for about 15 years wasn't answered yesterday. Would Fedor be able to ground and pound Mir and avoid getting submitted?
Well, I'll never know the answer to that question.
Do you think Fedor will win the tournament?
