Mir vs Silva @ 235

Frank Mir Wants to Fight Anderson Silva:

"I would love to fight Anderson Silva! ...I would even make it a 235 catch weight to make it more appealing to his manager and the commission."

Mir cutting all the way down to 235? I saw a video recently and he said he wasn't going to try and be the muscled up strong guy anymore because that just isn't his game. He said he is going to do more training that fit his style and strengths. Maybe slimming down is what he was talking about.

If spider still wants it, Dana better not shoot it down.

sounds like a guy who has lost his rudder.

3 rds of Anderson picking Mir him apart, he'd make Mir look like he was in slow mo

I would take Mir

Brandon Vera

great point LA, IDK I just think Mir is big enough and has the submissions to pull a Ryo Chonnan

I dont think it would be Anderson in a cake walk

If he could get a hold of him

agree,

I will say this

if this happens, make it a 5 FUCKING ROUNDER

Why? Spider puts on much better shows in 3 rounders.

Im sick of big time catchweight fights being 3 rounds

what if the thing is close and we have a razor thin decision.

I say do it...maybe Silva will put on a good show if meat head is runnin round tryin to punch his head off

Mir should pull a Mayweather be like ya Ill drop to 235

show up at the weight in 260

I would have to know how Mir's training and preparation for the fight would be going before I could make my pick.

I think if he can successfully cut the weight down to 235 without draining all his energy...it'd make him alot quicker than he has been in recent fights. I would see him shooting in quite a bit for takedowns and trying to submit Silva.

This fight would be a chess-match if it ever would happen.

Mir's never had a good shot
