Brendan Schaub vs. Frank Mir targeted for early-2011 UFC event

good fight, if mir comes in like he did against CC Schaub will beat him.
I think Schaub is strong enough to stuff Mir's takedowns

Well Mir sucks at takedowns. So no big stretch there.

mir via murder

If this is signed, who is Brock fighting?

Struve or Fatboy are my guesses. Either an I or an O.

LOL, but i think fat boy still has contract issues so we can factor him out until thats cleared out

We probably won't know when those issues are over until we hear Fatboy vs....who knows it could be Fatboy vs Brock.

I see Brandon being able to out box Mir and potentially keep this on the feet.

Probably. I expect him to have the speed advantage.

Great. I think Schaub probably has the edge here and it puts an end to Brock-Mir

Until Struve beats Brock! Then it's right back on the table.

I hope Brock fights Struve or Kongo assuming Nelson isn't ready

It's true.

makes for an interesting fight. Schaub has a pretty decent ground game from what i've seen so far. I wouldn't be surprised if he beat Mir.

Good to see you posting on a productive topic. I agree. His ground game is a UFC ? but he's got a well regarded purple belt and skills from everything I hear. His athleticism will allow him the ability to add the wrestling he needs to contend in the division. Schaub is a factor.

I like this matchup.


Follows Wolf's idea of bringing the mid level guys into the upperlevel mix.

I'd prob lean Mir.

I wonder how much Mir will weigh coming into this fight. He said before he was going to slim down a little bit and be more lean. He came in at 252 vs CC.

yeah, def a point of interest when looking at this fight.

Since we've seen the first of humoungous Mir, he caught Kongo, got brutalized vs Carwin, then leaned up a little and looked fairly sluggish vs CC.

As GSP recently noted fighters have not typically handled up and down weight changes very well. RJJ was an example, and maybe Spider is as well.

I got Mur. Still not feeling Schaub....but it took whoopin Mir's ass to get me on the Carwin bandwagon.

Schaub outboxes him wins in a close split
