We all new Mirko had no ground game and a suspect chin. Both those weaknesses were re-enforced Saturday. He is still a great fighter, and I'm sure he will come back strong just like he has after his other losses. He came back after getting KOed by Randelman, and he came back and won the OWGP after losing to Fedor. He can definitely come back from a loss to Gonzaga.

I agree people make way too big a deal about single fights, and I agree with the threadstarter about how ridiculous it is the threads that are popping up about Mirko being overrated and such.
He'll be back with a vengeance I have no doubt.
Also, in regards to his ground game, sure it's not a great offensive game, but he survived Fedor in his guard while receiving very little damage so I wouldn't say its terrible.
