Frank Mir vs. Daniel Cormier in September, no Big Timmy

bottomline pioneer for the sport but not a good run as a champion

He beat Tank into quitting .. then lost the belt to Randy. He was already up there in age by then too. Short run.. but you could do worse then 1 defense and losing to a legend. To even compare him and Sylvia seems off-base IMO, even tho Sylvia had a "better" run as HW champ... also knocked off by Randy ironically enough.. and later Ray Mercer.. and Abe Wagner.

true Ive never seen the tank fight so I don't know but he didn't do well in Pancrase though the oppenents he faced were strong I just can't give someone who beat everyone he could have in his time and defended the belt twice tied for a record in HW division the distinction as worst heavyweight champ

Frank Mir is going to Strikeforce to meet Cormier in September.

Can't wait to see Mir get fucked up.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Interesting that hes jumping to SF for that fight.

Sweet. Will be weird seeing Mir fight outside the UFC.

Also, Melendez/Healy is confirmed as the main event.

[svetz17]

Mir in strikeforce hmm. I hope this becomes a trend so Melendez gets some competition.

Mir-Cormier are fighting in Oct or Nov not on the Melendez-Healy card

Good move by zuffa, but I would have prefered Mir vs Barnett

Mir is being sent to be slaughtered here, good company man, hopefully this means more will come over to fight Gil in the future

Bring over Franklin for Rockhold

Bring over Franklin for Rockhold

awesome idea. Franklin wants one last shot, so beating Rockhold would get him close. Not saying he would beat him but, he wants the UFC to repay him for the short notice fights and, this is a great way to do it.

Junkie and Torch say the fight will be part of another Strikeforce event in Oct or Nov.
