62% say Mir's conditioning is a bigger uncertainty???

62% of Sherdoggers don't know the definition of "uncertainty." Mir's conditioning is as certain as it comes.

From his pre-accident fights vs. Ian Freeman and Wes Sims to his post-accident fights vs. Marcio Cruz and Dan Christison, Mir's conditioning is among the worst in the UFC. How is that uncertain?

Mir's conditioning is almost as certain as BJ Penn's jiu-jitsu or Chuck Liddell's overhand right, but it's certainly bad, rather than certainly good (in BJ or Chuck's case).

Compare that to Lesnar's chin. When has anyone seen him punched in the face? Never.

most fans have seen the difference between a fit, in shape mir... and the tired, out of shape mir. on more then one occasion.


maybe it's you that doesnt know the definition of uncertainty.

edit: seeing as this is a huge fight for him, i bet we'll see the fit, in shape mir again.

I hope Mir comes in shape.

If he does, I think this fight is tailor-made for him.

Conditioning isn't going to play a factor because Mir is going to end this in the first round.

I can't imagine Mir not coming in top shape for this....his whole family is riding on this fight. But these fighters never surprise me....

I don't know if Mir will have the cardio or not The last fight he looked GREAT. It was short and sweet. From that fight Lenser knows he prob isnt getting the garbage Mir. BUT It's Mir so we wont know until fight time.

Both are good points, and I agree with you on both.
