The Cinderella story has come to and end. #7 seed Matt Hughes triumphed against the odds, taking out #2 Ronda Rousey and #3 Royce Gracie, but he could not topple the #1 seed. Frank Mir had little difficulty getting past Hughes and clinching the final spot in the Final 4. His opponent? Well, let's talk about that right now.
Today, we decide our first finalist. Frank Mir is back up to bat, and this time, he takes on #2 seed Fabricio Werdum. At stake is a spot in the Finals, a shot at the championship, plus the bragging rights as greatest Heavyweight submission fighter of all time. So who takes home the accolades: Mir or Werdum? Your votes will decide it.
