Yeah. I never really liked him too much in the first place. I don't dislike him either. But...I don't know what all the MIR IS GOD stuff was about when he was champ.

Its not about being a champ but how you maintain to be one.

WTF? Mir was almost as under-rated as Tim Sylvia when he was champ.

Everyone said he sucked...

That's because he did in fact suck. I think Mir had one of the easiest paths to the title. I don't like to call things in fighting lucky, but he gets taken down by Tim... who gets taken down by Tim? Then breaks Tim's arm. Ref stoppage. Cool, whatever, but I don't think he was ever as good as some people said.

That I never understood also. Something else I never understood was how they made Mir seem be the greatest submission grappler in the world.
