I don’t have a clue on these two old warhorses. When was the last time Mir fought?

MMA Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list

I’d like to see Fedor win but I’ll take Mir, Sanchez, Lovato, Gracie, Danis

[Impy]

Mir’s last fight was 25 months ago, he was KOed by Mark Hunt.

I’ll take Mir, Sanchez and Gracie.

I dunno if Fedor has it anymore.

[luvbach1]

Bellator has a lot of slightly-over-the-hill former UFC fighters such as these two. That said it could be a good fight. Winner will face slightly-over-the-hill Sonnen.

[KavMan]

I think Fedor should quit fighting, he's washed up!

[Neoliberalnot]

Do you happen to know their ages? They should have an over 65 years class. There comes a point when you are still tough and strong, but you lose the speed and the flexibility, not to mention you simply do not recover and heal as rapidly.

[Neoliberalnot]

I’ll go with Fedor.

[tenger]

Mir is 38, and Fedor is 41.

[Lent]

Fedor in his prime was great. He really is a shadow now.

[Neoliberalnot]

That’s pushing it. I remember watching Brock Lesnar come from no where and win an NCAA championship wrestling in St Louis. He became an amazing HW fighter and wasted several years in “pro-wrestling.” For a big man he was very fast.

[Mr Fuji]

This would have been a great main event 10-15 years ago. I’m watching this but it kind of makes me sad.

[Impy]

I missed the first fight, toehold!?

[chris37]

I knew I shoulda picked the GOAT.

Damn, I’m stupid!

[Mr Fuji]

Yeah, they called it a toehold. I thought it was initially some sort of ankle lock.

[Mr Fuji]

Picking Fedor is risky business, but so is picking Mir.

[chris37]

I think I am going to definitely go with Fedor over Sonnen though.

I don’t think Sonnen has what it takes to beat him.
