If you were ever sent to prison and needed a gang to affiliate with, choose the one Junior Dos Santos is in. Trust me. You may get beat up once from another rival gang, but once Junior Dos Santos hears about it -- that guy will be dead, whoever he is. Junior dos Santos doesn't have any personal demons. He's defeated all of them with an array of straight jabs and devastating upper-cuts. Junior's personal demons have personal demons -- and it can be directly attribute to the ferociousness he displayed at UFC 146 against Frank Mir.

I was fortunate to have a press seat directly next to where Junior dos Santos walked by as he entered the Octagon to defend his UFC heavyweight title for the first time. The look on his face was simply unexplainable. Imagine Frank Mir traveling to the afterlife and open-palm smacking every one of Junior dos Santos' ancestors. That's the type of disdain dos Santos displayed on his face as he forcefully made his way inside the cage. That was some metaphysical hate, folks.

While Frank Mir seemed to have a strategy of immediately taking dos Santos and slapping a submission on one of his limbs, it simply didn't work against Brazilian. After Mir attempted to single-leg dos Santos and then roll into a heel hook, the champion strolled away and waved his finger at Mir, giving him the heads up that it's just not going to happen. Junior then used his mastodon hands to precisely pick apart Frank Mir with enough straight jabs and counter hooks to wobble the fighter in the first round. While on the ground, dos Santos chose to finish up the fight with one of lazy hammerfist to the face, Mike Russow vs. Todd Duffee style.

Props goes to the champion on his first successful title defense, and giving the world something to talk about until UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II goes down within these same MGM Grand Garden Arena walls. Now check our the .gif of the dominating finish provided by ZP.

Amazing night of fights. I'm surprised how well the whole card turned out. If you're wondering who wins the KO of the night or the sub of the night, you're asking the wrong question. The real question is who wins cut of the night? And I have the answer for you. It's not Bigfoot, or del Rosario, or Ludwig. It's Mayhem.

Thank the fucking lord everyone's snapped out of believing Mir's still a relevant force in the HW division.

Can we now forget about the most overrated HW punching bag besides Lesnar in UFC history who has zero stand-up, zero wrestling and simply flops around people's limbs in the hopes they'll be stupid enough to be armbarred?

He hasn't changed one iota since UFC 38 when Ian Freeman pulled the exact same shit on him and that was 10 years ago, which goes to show you what an inept fighter this guy is.

I mean how many times do we have to see this chin-pubed, pudgy sack of shit get comatose in the Octagon?

Vera, Lesnar, Carwin, and now JDS?

Do you need more proof that Frank Mir is irrelevant?

And don't give me that shit about Big Nog.

Nog proved Mir has no answer for any HW on the feet and if he hadn't of transitioned to the ground and just kept pounding him right on that ugly goatee he would have clocked Mir.

His BJJ skills are overrated and have no practical application in the Octagon when paired with his fundamental lack of TD and wrestling.

The only subs he gets are over newcomers like Brock or fighters who've never rolled a day in their lives like Kongo/Hardonk/Sylvia.

The Nog Submission doesn't count and nor does the first Nog fight.
To me it just solidifies my prejudices against how bad Mir's stand-up is when he couldn't fucking KO or TKO Big Nog with a staph infection on antibiotics.

In conclusion; Mir out of the UFC, now.

Yeah [censored]s... thumb down because you can't argue back.

Useless cunts go back to your Tapout shirts and "Just Bleed" mentality; go fucking watch WWE, MMA requires too much thinking on your part.

When Mir rolled the wrong direction my group was pretty sure it was over man. I think that should be added to the pre-fight rules. "If you roll the wrong way after getting pummeled... the fight will be stopped."

sorry to say this but MIR looked awfull. The fight was a total bummer - hee looked like a amateur fighter.

Reem would have beat JDS i was not impressed by his performance

He didn't look amateur, he looked stupid, he's as childish as it gets, he beat Nogueira in his own game, he wanted to do the same to Junior, as much as he may deny it. He tried a TD just ONCE in the FIRST round, and he declared Junior was tough to take down, c'mon. It's like if Junior attempted just ONE punch and said, man, Mir is tough to get knocked out, c'mon.

He's both.

Amateur and stupidly delusional.

Beating Nog at his own game? Yeah... while Nog pounded his face in.

What an achievement.

Cain/JDS 2 will be a war, they are the 2 best HW's in the world and I hope to see them fight at least 3 times.

Dear Zues,

PLEASE give us a Sunday Morning Rumor Mill today. Not only because its every legit MMA fans favorite thing to read, but especially since some drama went down after the mayhem fight, i wanna hear what you guys heard!

P.S - I almost bet $200 on Jamie Varner to win by KO. Rejuvinated his career and wins two in a row by steamroll KO's? Golden Glove Boxer and late Replacement? Fighting a guy with alot to lose and nothing to gain? psh. Almost an easier call then Fedor Werdum.
