When you try to play the one on the page where they were held live, at Yahoo Sports, it says they're currently archiving the item. So I guess it'll be there. UFC.com usually puts them up later the same day also, not sure if they gave exclusive rights to the Yahoo site or not - since they have a lot of advertising on the website to them for the coverage.

Why does everyone keeping hoping Mir comes with this 'great' looking six pack??? It's not going to mean his cardio is better, in fact his cardio was NEVER good...at all....not even close. Who is this 'old' Mir people speak of?? If there is a difference in him, it has nothing to do with his stomach it has to do with him being in a motorcycle accident and maybe just not being able to compete on the same level as before, not his cardio. Sorry to the Mir fans but this isn't the fight you see a storied book comeback for him.

Your right his cardio has always been poor. If it goes past two its vera all the way. But i wouldn't be a bit surprised if mir catches vera in asubmission within the first 2rds. |

Exactly.
Guys, Mir has never had the greatest cardio. I mean, yea sure, Mir looked his best in the Pete Williams fight, but that was...what....30 seconds? Seems like if Vera can survive the first round(Which he will), then Mir will tire out. Hell, Mir tired out in the first minute in the incredibly awful Christison fight.

About Cruz's shit - anything can happen in a fight, but he's right about the cardio issue. At one time (and not for long) Mir was unanimously considered one of the best. During his rise, he had his doubters but mostly believers. He lost almost all of it in the Ian Freeman fight, retired, and came back to gain it all back by making Tank look like a joke at a time when older fans where coming back - and then made his biggest mark breaking Sylvia's arm. Since then, he hasn't done anything to warrant acclaim, just the opposite, yet like the opposite of the circumstances I mentioned before - there's mostly doubters, but a core base of believers still. This fight is definitely the fight where we get some answers. Come back number one post-motorcycle accident, a loss to an unknown in Cruz. His second fight, an expected showcase style victory that he barely eeked out. This is the third one, and against his biggest name/toughest opposition since his most acclaimed performance - the Sylvia one. If he loses badly, he's an overhyped hasbeen. If he loses but puts up a fight, things pretty much stay the same. If he wins, it's almost like his last two fights didn't happen - the UFC Heavyweight division is that thin. The storyline (considering the who the champion is) is the most ready-made, so it's inevitable what'll happen next.
