well. mir in his prime was a very good fighter.. things have changed since his prime though.. but, lesner?.. i dont think so.. i think mir knows this is his shot to get back some respect in the division.. lesner is nothing but window dressing to sell another pay for view.. if he loses he will be thrown out with the bath water.. unfortunately, the ufc is turning into the wwe .. no rankings, just who ever they think will sell ppv regardless of skill.. if you remember the winner of the jardine / lidell fight was supposed to take on silvia.. well the ufc fully expected lidell to take jardine easily.. the wiiner gets silvia.. well, it did not goes as planned and jardine pummelled liddell.. so, jardine gets the fight and a chance to make some money.. BUT NO.. ufc/danawhite pushes him out of the way and still has liddell fight him.. that lose should have technically pushed liddell down the ranking quite a bit.. but, since they have no ranking system
. they screwed jardine.. anyway.. sorry for the rant.. but, i am losing respect for the ufc..
