This is at least a working rumor I am hearing as of now.
Nothing concrete, but will be interesting to watch.
Also look for this to be in another major media market like the 1st two.

Should be more competitive than Cain vs Bigfoot.

I hope to see Cain get the win, and he should if he keeps the fight standing and not allow Mir to grab a limb even when he is hurt

Did you make up this rumor TS? Seems like a logical fight to make.

Basically I was told by someone who is typically pretty reliable to watch out for the matchup to possibly happen.
I always search twitter for something like that, aka Mir Cain Fox.
There were several with rumblings of it up. I have no idea where it started, and if the person who told me got it from there.
Thats why 9 times out of 10 I dont have a source, its not cause there is not one, its because when people I trust tell me to watch out for it, I know there is some kind of source somewhere.
Its a rumor at this point though, who knows what truths there are to this. It my just be assumptions by people as well.

you know, i was just saying...
you don't even owe us a reason...
a rumour will always be a rumour until one of the sides involved open their mouths, that's how i think.

I like that fight about as equal as I liked the Silva/Cain fight, both seem like good comeback fights for Velasquez. Mir got overwhelmed by Lesnar and Carwin, and while Cain isn't as monstrous, he's still one of the best wrestlers in the division with heavy hands. I think he'll dictate where this fight goes and as long as he can stay out of submissions, should win the fight.

Im not crazy about this fight..For many reasons lol.
One is I like Both Cain and Mir. Because of that I really dont wanna see either one lose lol. If Cain loses...whats next? Go to 205? If Mir loses whats next? Retire? Lol. Mir's one fight away from a title shot. Cain's 2. Give Mir-Big Foot Silva and give Cain- Roy Nelson. That way if Mir can get by Big Foot he can get his title shot. Make em all the same night lol with Nate Diaz vs Lauzon/Pettis for title shot as the main event!! Now thats what im talking about!

I personally think this would be a great fight and if mir wins he defiantly deserves a title shot

Doubt it, at least Silva had a significant size advantage he could use, I don't know what Mir has to offer outside his sub game, a sub game that will be rendered useless when he can't get it to the ground. If Nog was able to lay hands on Mir, so can Cain.
Velaquez via steamrolling.

When a guy who rarely starts a thread in the Gen Forum,has 12000+ posts and is named BuffaloBlue, don't ask him for a f---ing source. If he's taking his time to post that for you, he's nearly certain it's happening so go with it.
