Left hand.
La la land for Duffee.

So Frank Mir hit him with an iron? That should be against the rules.

Lol, Mir is my favorite fighter, but he got lucky. He did the exact thing he shouldn't have: go toe to toe with a one trick pony. Mir stalked Duffee with his hands down, and Duffee was able to get off first with that stiff right jab. It easily could have been Mir hitting the canvas if Todd had connected with that follow up left hand.
Mir has been working with a boxing coach for a while now, so I guess he feels more and more confident with his improved standup. Frank has never been in ripped condition before, but he looked extra out of shape for this fight. I told you guys that I thought Mir had one last title run in him (probably just wishful thinking from a fan) but now he is going to get someone ranked higher than him (Mir was ranked 10th) Maybe a Travis Browne or Arlovski matchup would be a possibility.
One thing is for certain, whomever he faces next will be a step up from Todd Duffee ::) Mir needs to get his head out of the clouds if he thinks he is suddenly Mike Tyson :D

What a Knockout.

dude got some power, at 262 pounds you dont wanna take a shot straight to the chin by that guy. amazing that he doesnt even have to take fights to the ground anymore, where he really shines.
as far as the fight went, you cant ask for more. two true heavy weights standing in the pocket trading blows.
crazy to think that he debuted in the ufc in 2001 (!!)
maybe they can put him against ben rothwell, although rothwell probably rather want to fight someone ranked higher

mir says he's vulnerable to the counter right at the end of this interview
not exactly "luck" when you call it before the fight

Again with the reading comprehension........I said Mir was lucky he didnt get dropped on that exchange. As Mir was walking towards Duffy with his hands down, Todd stuns Mir with a crisp right jab. He immediately follows with a left hand that just barely misses hitting flush. If Duffy connected with that left hand, Mir probably would have been in a world of trouble.
Its great that he showing confidence as of late, but knowing he is vulnerable to the counter right doesnt mean much when
you are getting beat to the punch. Im not surprised Mir knocked him out, Im surprised at how he did it.
I honestly believe that Mir has the talent to beat anyone in the division, he just needs to play it smart.
-
Funny thing is, all 3 of Todd Duffy's loses are by him getting KO'ed.
And all of them are totally embarrassing.
-
So Mir still has something left in him, good job... Got to love all the idiots saying "right now Duffee would destroy Overeem", LOL, sure...

Except that was a left hand. Nice try though.

he slipped the right and hit with a beautiful left. It was a slick move.
If you watch the interview areil asks him "how do beat him" he says "be calculated" and goes on to talk about how he's "very vulnerable to the counter".

"right at the end of the interview" ::)

Mir looked like shit in this fight, fat as fuck and fucking delirious.. really could have gone either way. Why the fuck is this fat old shit still fighting? Probably struggling to make the payments on his savvy balloon payment mortgage he financed with his sporadic fighter salary a few years ago.

mir is a legend!

Frank Mir will face Andrei Arlovski at UFC 191, on September 5th. Don't say I didn't tell ya ;)

That was a nice move he made to get the angle on Duffy. He didn't look in shape.

Mir has gone as far as he will go in his career, if he manages to get a title shot there is something seriously wrong with the division. His ground game is incredible and his striking has improved beyond measure but Duffee was never considered a big name in the division and left himself open for the KO with awful hand positioning.
Arlovski is as vulnerable to the KO as anyone in the HW division but his striking is so much better. Mir's best chance would be to ground him early and work the submission, standing toe to toe in Arlovski's pocket with see him sleeping in round 1. Im actually looking forward to this fight as a fan, but neither guy is currently a marquee name for a fight card IMO even with Andrei's current ranking.
I dont see how Mir could stand a chance against anyone in the top 5, and barely anyone else in the top 10.
Just my opinions.
-
I hate to say it; but Cain Velasquez made the heavyweight division very boring. He just isn't very exciting. Plus, he is always injured.
I want to see Junior Dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum have a rematch.

We will find out soon because Arlovski is the #4 ranked heavyweight ;)
I think that Mir has the skillset to beat anyone in the heavyweight division. He has the power to KO anyone at any given moment, and has one of the best ground games in the UFC. Here are the current top 5 fighters in the heavyweight division:
Champion: Werdum
#1. Cain Velasquez
#2. Junior Dos Santos
#3. Stipe Miocic
#4. Andrei Arlovski
#5. Travis Browne
Tell me which of these fighters do you think is invincible? If Mir beats Arlovski, he could be one more win away from a title shot. He has never faced any of these fighters except for Dos Santos (which his standup was terrible then) for the title.
Not saying it will be easy, nor that he should be favored, but as long as all of the stars align for him, he absolutely has the talent to win the title one last time.
Go Mir!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I definitely agree with you there. His standup has become good enough to hold his own, and to finish some fights, but he certainly shouldn't go toe to toe with elite strikers. Dos Santos punished him because Mir couldn't find a way to get him on the ground. I think Mir would be far more dangerous (with the threat of his improved striking) in a potential rematch.

JDS is very difficult to take down. And if he does get taken down; he pops right back up.
And JDS trains with Olympic boxing coaches. So Mir would have very little hope in beating him.

I believe!!!!! All aboard the Frank Mir hype train!!!! Chooo Chooooooo!!!!!!!

Only way this is bodybuilding related is if he is related to Chris Duffy, or Joanie Bovino.

Damn, I thought this was about legendary muscleman Chris Duffy :(

Chris wants to share a drink with his fans!

None of them are invincible but they are all moe than good enough to beat a post-prime Frank Mir. His striking is good enough to beat mediocre/mid card strikers with no plan B but his ground game can beat anyone. However:
Werdum - comparable size, better BJJ & also has incredibly improved his striking. He takes this by stoppage IMO.
Cain - dominates every area, would overwhelm Frank and pummel him like Lesnar did. Easy stoppage.
JDS - been there, done it. Would do it every single time they match up.
Stipe - another of comparable size, would be the closest matchup of the top 5 IMO. Still, he takes it by comfy decision or TKO.
Arlovski - better striker by light years, good sambo, would spark Mir out cold in any exchange as long as he didnt expose his chin.
Travis - too big, too powerful, Mir would have to get him down to take control. Another big KO loss.
These are just my opinions, Frank may very well come out and smash Andrei which would indeed put him in a title eliminator. I would be shocked to see him compete for or even get near a title shot again though.
