    Mir was always my favorite HW in the UFC. He submitted Nog while he was still in a haze from getting rocked. He basically just went lizard brain / auto pilot and got the key lock before he got his head cleared. Fantastic fighter and always a good sport, win or lose. I was crushed when he had his accident and crushed again when I realized he'd never be great again like he once was.
