In the HW division, I'd say Noguiera us a better submission specialist than Mir. The UFC need to bring back top HW's seeing as they have lost some top talent. HW division is argably the weakest division in the UFC roster. LHW is the best I would imagine.

Interesting to note that when they fought Nog had loads of opportunity to get it to the ground and didn't. If anything Mir (IMO) is under rated on the ground, IIRC he graded black in BJJ twice under different schools. Before his accident Mir was smashing through everything, i think he will beat Lesner again although it will be a massivley different style of fight.

As for Damian Maia....there is a reason Anderson Silva was poop scared of going to ground with him, it would have been over inside a round. He takes BJJ to a different level.

Sorry Virgin aint got it.

UFC 100, the biggest mixed martial arts event in history, will be televised live on multiple platforms in the United Kingdom this coming Saturday, July 11, the Ultimate Fighting Championship(R) organisation has confirmed.

British UFC fans have two ways of experiencing the greatest night in mixed martial arts history live: on Sky Channel 433 and online at UFC.com. Fans will be able to catch all the action from the biggest fight night of the year completely free of charge.

As an exciting bonus to British fans, Sky Channel 433’s UFC 100 coverage will begin at 9pm, Saturday, as a 9-hour UFC marathon gets underway with all five episodes of the ‘UFC’s Top 100 Fights’.

This will be followed by the official ‘Countdown to UFC 100’ program which then leads into 3am, where the spotlight turns to Las Vegas, as the biggest MMA show of all time goes LIVE.

UK fight fans unable to join the televised action on Sky Channel 433 need not worry, though, for they can also catch every punch, kick and submission at UFC 100 by logging on to UFC.com.

Those fans are encouraged to log-on to UFC.com for details on how they can watch UFC 100 live online.
