Cain Velasquez Vs. Frank Mir On Tap According To Lorenzo Fertitta

UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta isn't generally a guy that breaks a lot of news. But during a late-night twitter Q&A with fans last week, he was a goldmine of information. One of the biggest pieces of information he dropped was when he was asked by a fan who was next for former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir. He answered with just one word:
Cain.
That, of course, is former champ Cain Velasquez, who dropped his title to Junior dos Santos at UFC on Fox 1 back in November. Fertitta didn't mention a timeframe for the bout, but the yearly Memorial Day event (UFC 146 on May 26th) and Independence Day event (UFC 148 on July 7th) seem like solid fits. There will be a Fan Expo at the July event, so it is likely to have a stacked card.
Mir is coming off his second victory over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 140, which was one of the best submissions of 2011. He has now won three bouts in a row, and has quietly crept back into contention for a title shot. Fabricio Werdum has been angling for a fight with Mir on twitter lately, but it looks like he will have to wait in line. The bout could possibly serve as a number one contenders matchup.

That could be a good fight
Cain should be favored, but Frank could give him problems from the bottom. I’m stunned they’re not going to make Mir-Werdum though.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

i much prefer this fight to Mir- Werdum only because i want to see Mir get his face punched in. (that is, provided Cain is healthy)

Frank doesn't do well against strong wrestlers.
He leaves too many openings, going for sweeps and subs. For some reason, he is awesome at submitting other BJJ players, though.
I’ve seen Frank get destroyed from half guard too many times to take him here. Freeman, Marcio Cruz, *Vera, Lesnar, and Carwin all smashed him.
*Yes, I realize this was right after the motorcycle accident.
*Yes, I realize that he still wasn’t in top form at this point.

great matchup
Although I favour Cain to pick apart Mir standing.
"i hate signatures...that, and hypocrisy"
Same here. On the feet, Cain is just faster with his movement and strikes, and he throws combinations well. While there is a threat if the fight hits the ground, I can’t see the fight getting there.

Hells yeah, this is the fight I wanted. There’s other challenges for Werdum but there’s not many for Mir, it’ll pose some interesting questions for both fighters.
by Superstitiousmma on Feb 13, 2012 10:20 AM EST reply actions
I’m not a fan of this match-up, mainly because I think Cain will win. Also he’s coming off a KO loss, while Mir is on a pretty decent three fight winning streak. Who exactly do they have in mind for the next title shot after JDS vs Reem? Because in my mind Mir would be a great option, if he can win another fight in the meantime (like Werdum for example). To me it’s obvious they want to fast track Cain back to title contention, and they’re planning on using Mir for it. I don’t like this.

But its weird cuz the UFC always used to try and get Mir to a title shot.

I think the UFC brass thinks
Mir has a better shot at Cain then he does against Werdum.

Winner/loser matches aren’t nearly as rare as people like to claim, especially for a fighter coming off a title fight. And while Cain will be rightfully favored, I wouldn’t count Mir out of this either.

Well, either way I don’t like it. I think these two fighters should be kept on separate paths to a title shot. And really, I’d be fine if Mir got the next one just by his last three wins. Instead they kill one of them for the near future.. and as I mentioned I don’t see who else is out there right now with a good case for a shot. What happens if Cain wins, you want to throw him in there again for the title with just one win? That would suck.

They’re making that fight because they want a main event that will sell, simple as that. If you put Werdum instead of Cain, you might get 100 000 less buys or whatever. Multiply that by 50$.. 5 million $.

Odd that this happens
But I completely agree with both of you.
Sucks though, I don’t like this fight either. Big Nog was beating Mir on the feet, and Nog does not have anywhere near the range of tools standing that Cain has.
I can’t see Mir taking Cain down, and honestly I expect this fight to look like Mir’s fight against Carwin. Hopefully I will be proved wrong.
by Lauren J Darkbloom on Feb 13, 2012 3:31 PM EST up reply actions
Cain is going to T(KO) Mur like Carwin did!
Maybe not in as devastating fashion as the uppercuts Shane landed but I believe he’s going to put him out rather quickly. Big Nog was easily beating Mir to the punch and had him rocked pretty bad before the beautiful sub Mir pulled off and Nog’s striking is pretty slow compared to Cain’s.
" Its like when I'm right I'm right, when I'm wrong I coulda been right, so I'm still right cause I coulda been wrong, you know, and I'm sorry cause I could be wrong right now, I could be wrong, but I'm right..." Bama

Frank's got a good shot if he can work his jitz.
Cain’s not going to fall for Mir’s fake jab like Congo did. Mir’s boxing is good, but man did he get tagged badly by Big Nog. If he can avoid the stand up game, get it to the ground, let his jitz fly (even the bottom game) he’s got a good shot.
by Body Triangle on Feb 13, 2012 10:53 AM EST reply actions 3 recs
Yeah, but he won’t. Just like any grappler that finds moderate success in the stand-up, he thinks he can take anyone on the feet and wants to “test” himself. He thinks he is better striking than he really is. He needs to realize that sometimes, it’s just better to stick with what you’re good at.
by BeefSupreme on Feb 13, 2012 11:28 AM EST up reply actions
All the way back to Ken Shamrock!
But even if Mir wanted to take it down, I just don’t recall him having anywhere near the explosiveness needed to take down a Wrestler of Cain’s caliber. Cain dictates the location here, IMO, and that means bad things for Frank.
I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyron Woodley fight.
I disagree about his bottom game.
Mir is a real feast- or- famine guard player. He either gets the sweep/ sub, or gets pounded out. I think Cain is strong enough to avoid the sub/ sweep, and will pour it on Frank with punches and elbows.

Frank's Next Camp...
He better realize that his first fight with Big Nog inflated his striking ego alot, and thats been his strategy ever since then. His freak KO of Kongo did it even more. He abandoned what made him successful in the first place.
If Frank re-focuses on BJJ without spending so much time or gameplan on strategy, with his natural strength he can become the single most devastating submission artist in MMA history.
If he tries to stand with Cain he will get annihilated.
If he gets the fight to the ground, Cain would be in tons of problems, and probably get subbed rather quickly.

The only way Mir wins this fight
Is by getting it to the ground. That being said if he does win then he gets a title shot no questions asked. However if he faces Dos Santos then he will be knocked out, because I don’t think he can take him down. Against Overeem, he might have a better chance.

I honestly think Mir would look really stupid even thinking about trying to take Cain down.
He couldn’t get old Cro Cop to the mat.
