Fighter Futures: Frank Mir

I stand by my word that Frank Mir lost this fight before it began, but now what to do with him. After witnessing the performances from Cain and JDS that night, it is unlikely that Frank will ever pose a threat to the upper echelon of the division. Frank Mir was the new thing ten years ago, but like everything else he has been replaced. I doubt he will ever do battle with a title on the line again, but that doesn’t mean he should hang up his gloves just yet, not when there are still a few good fights left. Werdum, Struve, Bigfoot, or rematches with Carwin and Kongo are all viable options for Mir. My favorite is a Werdum/Mir match up, the two fighters are practically mirror images of each other and it would be fun to see them test the other’s jiu-jitsu. Only time will tell.
