If he wants to be a ground and pound fighter, he needs to go watch some Couture tapes and see how it's supposed to be done.
Why tapes? If he wants to be a ground and pounder he should go
train with Couture.

How cool would it be for the hot ex girlfriend of the heavyweight division to come back with an unstoppable monster to corner?
The adrenaline problem does surprise me a little bit from a guy who has main evented Wrestlemania. He has been in front of much larger crowds many times more than almost anyone in MMA. I know it's not the same but the size of the spectacle alone is enough to intimidate a lot of guys.
I wonder where the UFC is going to go from here? Does Mir get a shot a Nogueria next? With Sylvia losing, I could see Lesnar possibly fighting him next. And then there's Kongo, if he wins next month he may be in the mix for a title shot.
I don't think beating a guy in his second fight gets Mir a title shot. It puts him probably on the second tier - only that high because the division is thin. A Mir-Sylvia matchup is highly marketable. They can show Sylvia's arm breaking every 15 seconds for months.
Lesnar needs to fight a bottom tier UFC heavyweight, I think. He just lost convincingly. Giving him Sylvia now just doesn't make sense from a ladder perspective.
It definitely looked like Mir turned his head and it was a bit too quick of a stoppage, but I seriously doubt that Lesnar would have even heard a warning in the crazy state he was in.
It's possible Lesnar wouldn't have heard a warning but the ref still has to follow the rules. It's not like Mir was semiconscious and in mortal danger. FWIW, Lesnar
did hear the ref call for a stoppage and the ref didn't have to jump in.
