I think what really annoys me about people saying Bigfoot sucks is that he really doesn't at all. His speed is a huge glaring weakness, but other than that, he doesn't have any really big holes in his game. There's always that chance someone will blast him inside his guard while he's lumbering forward, but other than that he's an extremely tough fight for anyone, and how many heavyweights rely on quick hands and footwork other than JDS and Arlovski? He hasn't had any chances in the UFC to show off how much better he is than most heavyweights except the Travis Browne fight. What I think is really impressive is his ability to gameplan and then stick to his plan no matter how much trouble he gets into.

Bigfoot isn't really good at anything, but he's also not really bad at anything except not getting punched, and he's tough and huge and mentally strong. It's a formidable combination, but it's also exactly the kind of dude that can get ripped to shreds by Mir if he makes any kind of mistake.

I have the same curiously hopeful feeling I had when Arlovski fought Bigfoot, although I like Arlovski much more than Mir.

It's just interesting to see the guy with the best mental toughness and gameplanning in the division fighting the guy who's the worst at those things.

It's my fave sub of all time and Frank Mir owns. Nog was loving daft going for a bjj sub on arguably the best no Gi sub grapple hw man in the ufc's history to try and prove a point and it back fired amazingly. PJ Bjj doesn't work suckers

No.

is this base solely on the alistair fight because other guys fit this description better than bigfoot silva

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I've always approached Frank Mir fights with the attitude that whatever happens it'll probably be cool because he's like a dying sun but I really want him to win tonight and it's a strange and unsettling feeling.

Frank Mir has not become 100 times larger or 2000 times more luminous. That would be Mark Hunt.

Edit: or Matt Serra

Good god why are they putting on 6 fight main cards at 8pm ET on a Sunday?

Seems like a bad idea for the local and east coast USA markets.
