I'm too lazy to actually research his fights, but looking it up on fightmetric, his striking defense is something around 40% compared to Cormier's 70%. That may be product of Mir being TKO'd in his couple of losses in his career, but even Roy Nelson has a higher striking defense and he lets people tee off on his head.

Cormier also hasn't hasn't fought the same level as fighters as Mir has or really any striking oriented fighters like Mir has

You should though because every one of Mir's fights in the UFC (except for Cro Cop) own for one reason or another

And that's fair enough. I don't think Frank's striking is so much worse than the other top guys at HW, though. Yeah Junior KO'd him but he's the best at KO'ing people in the division. He smoked Nogeuira once and got punched silly once. Other than that he's done pretty well for himself

He does have the ability to instantly lose that I wouldn't be surprised to see in a fight against anyone

Above the gigantic mouth is an eye as big as a shield that stares at you with pure hate
That fightmetric also includes Mir's Carwin-delivered execution so I'm sure that inflates his "significant strikes received without defense" or whatever

Small sample size alert. Daniel Cormier has had all of 2 fights against top competition, with 'top' being used loosely as this is the heavyweight division. Please do not bet based on MMA punchstats.

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
Thanks for the discussion guys. I'm still going to put some money on Mir because I think there's a possibility, but it's going to be in the area of :10bux:.

Edit: Confirmed - :10bux: on Mir, :10bux: on Bendo.

Nice. I debated taking him via KO/TKO but just went him at +300 to win.

Also thought about taking Thomson via KO/TKO moments before the fight but didn't. Hard to be mad at a +1u night, but could have been nearly +30u between those 2. Oh well.

You should show off to some MMA journalism sites and get some e-fame. Lots of places wrote an article on it the last time that happened ($200 on a 12 fight parlay led to like $50k+)

Leonard Garcia at -175 on 5dimes seems like a pretty good line considering that Cody Mckenzie has no real MMA skills other than his guillotine. I see Garcia brawling and getting a decision/TKO and Cody being unable to get the takedown he needs. Will post my bets for this weekend later.

Please also consider that McKenzie's guillotines probably land more often than Garcia's hooks

We are talking about Cody McKenzie's striking defense here. This is like the exact opposite of the unstoppable force vs. immovable object paradox.
