Frank Mir now faces Shane Carwin for the UFC title. The winner of this battle will either face Cain Velesquez for the trophy or Brock Lesnar If you like UFC wagering this is the fight to bet on. A person would have assumed the MMA sportsbook odds would be farther different, but the truth is, Frank Mir is acquiring very positive lines starting up at -160. Frank has been training with, in Muay Thai. He has been capable to educate Frank to be more specialized with his punching which has greatly improved his power, proof of which was evident when Mir dismantled Antnio Rodrigo Nogueira and a UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez against Kongo where he was able to set up some really effective punches. At the moment within the heavyweight division, Frank Mir has the very best 1-2 punch combo with his jab cross or jab upper getting really notable. When dealing with Shane Carwin, most likely Mir will be utilising the jab cross to stun Shane Carwin to get the take down. Carwin has better wrestl ing but it is less likely he will be able to use them in this battle. In his college days Carwin was twice the Div 2 wrestling champ, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) II Wrestling Heavyweight National Champion in 1999. Not to mention he was also a 2-time All-American in football for Western State. Currently he attempts to keep his skills at par as a volunteer coach for the University of Northern Colorado. Given his depth on the mats Mir will try to nullify Shane's fight plan by keeping this fight standing up. He will try to away from the wreslting clinch and strike from the outside which is not his game plan. Shane Carwin favors the right hand but is not going to be able to land it since he will try to keep his distance the entire battle. With a purple belt in BJJ under Nate Marquardt, Shane has lately chose to re-do his exercise from the ground up. On pure strength and power alone he should be a blue belt but in comparison to someone like Mir, he is out matched. Frank is presently one of the best groun dfighters in the MMA and only after five years of training, he obtained his black belt in BJJ from Ricardo Pires, a 4th degree black belt Despite his background on the wrestling mats, it is unexpected Shane Carwin will have a likelihood on grappling. Fran Mir is very effective on the bottom and desires to attack the legs and ankles. He favours multiple submission moves and Carwin just doesn't have the required capabilities to maneuver out of Frank's attacks. Shane Carwin a large and successful martial artist who can be UFC champion one day, having said that, at the moment he must fight Frank Mir, who is a focused and focused fighter. Mir has worked hard to get himself back to the top of the UFC. Gone are the days when his work ethic and training practices were questioned and he has since concentrated himself to being the greatest UFC martial artist he can be in getting ready for a possible re-match with Lesnar. Though Ca rwin is in greater form, he has yet to be in a battle outside of the very first round. As a very muscular fighter, Carwin's physique requirements more oxygen or else fatigue sets in rapidly. When it comes to sports betting Mir -160 is a steal. Reasonably, I would have thought the lines would have been -180 or -190 in favour of Mir. The key to this fight is Mir's increasing stand-up power and technique. He will use quick striking combos to set up the takedowns and once on top, he will out-match Carwin in a position he does not want to be in-Mir will be in a position to take his back and apply the rear naked choke.
