 Frank Mir just can't compete with those monster heavyweights
It's a little sad since he seemed to have such determination to fight Lesnar again, but Carwin is just too damn powerful. Carwin vs. Lesner should be something special.
GSP is INCREDIBLE, but Hardy gets much respect for not tapping. It seems almost impossible to stop GSP's take downs.

Hardy got respect but I'm quite happy that his cocky britt got humbled.
Carwin vs. Lesner should be fun !

I don't know if I'd give respect though, I think it's totally silly to risk his joints over a fight that he was clearly loosing. Shocked though... I thought his arm was going to pop off! ugh.. So, do you think he was just powering through, or does he have some crazy double joints going on or something?

I think he was visibly in pain, but figured maybe he could roll out of it?? Yeah, I guess it is pretty crazy to think his arm could have snapped and he would have let it. That second hold, GSP was thrusting the move so that one looked like just a matter of time before something broke.

The guy was so mad that the opponent didn't tap that he flipped him the bird afterwords.

 Re: Frank Mir just can't compete with those monster heavyweights
That was like 2 silverbacks going at it. Mirs a pretty big heavyweight himself these days. I'm glad there won't be a lesnar mir 3. I think it would be more of the same. Gsp, never excites me. 25 minutes of laying on Hardy. I know if Hardy wasn't so stubborn he would have won via submission but blah.

He's not walking around at 275 training with a strength and size he's had for years. I'd gate to be in that division. Ouch
