He's also figured out that the cage is different from the ring (he compares them to "fire and ice"). He suggests that its easier to escape from a clinch in the cage and (most importantly for Mirko IMO) that you can't corner people in the cage because it has no corners. He likes Randy Couture to beat Gonzaga by decision in their upcoming fight and assuming he gets past Chieck Kongo will fight Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira in December.
