First of all, I really wanted to see you beat Brock Shane. I think your classiest guy in the division and I was pulling for you.
Mir has obviously taken this opportunity of Brock being sick, and is opening a big mouth once again to weasel his way into getting a title shot again long before he deserves one. He's trying to manipulate the situation.
People like to slam Brock for his words after UFC 100, but if anybody's been paying any attention to Mir whatsoever. He's ten times worse than Brock will ever be.
1. Kongo is one of the classiest guys around yet Mir saw fit to degrade him badly before their fight, to the point where he was MAKING FUN OF HIM for the fact that he couldn't speak english well.
2. Mir's relentless attacks on Brock Lesnar and continued obsession through his time of sickness has been completely tasteless and disgusting, the complete opposite from the class you have shown Shane.

"If I had to fight Brock, the first thing I'm looking for is, 'Well, I'm gonna kick him in the gut or whenever I get an opportunity to knee him in the stomach,'" said Mir. "Obviously, that's gonna be an area you're gonna go for."
and another comment Mir made when he was actually chuckling about the fact that Brock could come back at 245.
Whether or not Mir is right, his comments during this time or completely tasteless.
I really believe that Mir thinks he is going to walk right through you Shane. He has had some kind words to say about you but in reality he thinks you're going to be an easy fight for him, and he is building you up simply so he can boast of his own greatness after (he thinks) he beats you (which he will not).
In short, Mir is complete a tool.
I can't wait for you to put a h*** through his face Shane.
