Quote: Ryan Jarman "Mir is one of the best ground fighters in the UFC, second only really to Damian Maia.'"
And Thales Leites. And Noguiera. And Gonzaga. And Ricardo Almeida. And BJ Penn.
Mir isn't really an elite black belt. He's a black belt, but that's about it. He's only just top 3 jiu jitsu in the HW division and that's because Werdum has left.
He's pretty well rounded but certainly not the wizard on the ground that he's being hyped up to be. I don't think he will submit Brock again, given that he's supposed to be a purple belt now. That said, if Mir strikes like he did against Nog, it will be a very interesting fight.
