  6. @ajross80 @TruUKfan guys I've enjoyed talking to each of you, but I must get back to work. Let's talk later. I'm pumped for @ufc 146.
  7. @TruUKFan I'm with you. No way I count out @thefrankmir
  8. @ajross80 ... but he must first get ahold of the champ, and if it's in the center of the Octagon so be it. He's got to get it on the ground
  9. @ajross80 The key for Mir is getting close. You're right, he will have trouble getting it to the ground from the center of the cage ...
  10. @ajross80 I like @junior_cigano in this fight, but it's a mistake to count @thefrankmir out. He has a way of puling off upsets.
  11. @ajross80 He gets away with this because there are no @ufc heavyweights fast enough to counter him. @junior_cigano best asset is hand speed
  12. @ajross80 As for @junior_cigano there are flaws in his boxing technique: he's wide open when throwing uppercuts and overhand rights ...
  13. @ajross80 ... the gap and getting @junior_cigano on the ground. To accomplish this Mir must take risks and eat some punches in the standup.
  14. @ajross80 The bottom line is, Mir doesn't fully trust his boxing the way he does his jiujitsu. His best shot at an upset is closing ...
  15. @ajross80 He shows good head movement and rolls with his punches, but doesn't always stick with it, that's when he gets in trouble ...
  16. @ajross80 Intelligence can be a bad thing at times & @thefrankmir is a prime example. He tends to think through his boxing techniques ...
  17. @Kellzer2010 Here are the @ESPN_MMA picks for @ufc 146, mine are included. Enjoy the fights tonight; I will. es.pn/qyybUo
