You may not realize that former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir has been blogging about his upcoming fight against current champion Junior dos Santos on Yahoo. Whether you knew that or not, unless you're living in an MMA shell, you were certainly aware of the fact that Mir wants their upcoming UFC 146 battle to end up on the ground, whereas dos Santos almost certainly wants to make it into a boxing match. To that end, Mir recently wrote something that got me thinking.

"I am as good on the ground as dos Santos is on his feet, and if there is one guy who can truly discover the value of this guy's black belt, it's me ...

One word- yep. Actually, I lied- here comes a lot more words....Mir has submitted some pretty high level guys, including dos Santos's actual Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teacher, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. When he clamps on a submission, unlike many, there is almost never any escape. I mean, on top of his proficiency is power that few give him enough credit for. Simply put, Mir is the most dangerous submission fighter in MMA in the heavyweight division in my book. That said, dos Santos is certainly the best puncher in the heavyweight division (yes in my book- then again, this is my book).

So when you really think about it, Mir may not just be whistling dixie here. He is that good on the ground. The question is, can he actually take dos Santos to the canvas.

Easier said than done.

Mike Kyle hits like a truck. He's a dangerous fighter. Along with that, the first time he threw down with Rafael Feijao Cavalcante, he won by way of TKO. Fast forward to the present day. Would Feijao come through this time, or would Kyle once again take him out?

Get ready, get set, go!

Early on, Feijao came inside and dropped Kyle with a knee. From there, Kyle got up, where Feijao jumped up and slapped on the guillotine choke. Rather than drop to the canvas, Kyle chose to stand up with him on his neck for a while before attempting to escape via slam.

Didn't work. Instead, Kyle tapped.

Rafael Feijao Cavalcante defeats Mike Kyle via guillotine choke at 33 seconds of round one.

Jeremy Stephens vs. Donald Cerrone at the UFC on Fuel 3. Anyone else smell a knockout? Here's how it all went down.

Early on, Stephens landed a low kick, then an uppercut as Cerrone came inside. Another low kick from Stephens landed. Then Cerrone hit home with a low kick of his own. A quick right hand from Stephens found its mark; Cerrone followed it up with a hard low kick.

"The Cowboy" is starting out slowly.

But then as they neared the three minute mark, Cerrone began changing his rhythm, coming forward with leg and hand strike combinations before dropping out of harm's way again. And from there, he began gaining confidence and hitting home with sharper strikes of the same variety, ending the stanza with a flying knee.

Cerrone definitely took round one.

The second round saw Cerrone land tons of kicks, hands, and everything. And after a combination that ended with a left uppercut, Stephens was clearly hurt. Though Stephens recovered, he was beaten around the ring with timely punches and hard kicks for the rest of the stanza.

Round three was a lot like round two. Cerrone added a few hard body kicks as well. In the end, this just wasn't that close.

Donald Cerrone defeats Jeremy Stephens by unanimous decision.
