Id like to hear what heavyweights you would pick to beat him.

personally other than fedor, I wouldnt pick and of the top five guys. id say someone like ovareem or arlovski (headgeared of course) could kill mir because they have very fast and powerful striking, long reach, and good takedown defense.

Arlovski? With that glass jaw? Get your head out your ass man

I'd put money on Carwin, Gonzaga, Valesquez, Lesnar, Couture, a fit Nog and probably Kongo against Mir. I wouldn't see a fight with Brandon Vera being any different from the last one either.

You mention "since his injury" but since it, he is 4-2 and in the 4 wins, he looked impressive in 1 of those fights. The Christison fight was an embarrassment, he was getting killed by Lesnar who was in his second pro fight and he should have looked ten times better against Hardonk. Some people have been super impressed by him in this time, I personally don't see what the big deal is. Even if he beats Lesnar this time, he still needs to prove more in my eyes. That's just my opinion though.
