You also have to consider that Hughes entry into the sport took place many years ago when the level of competition was not so high. Mir is the real deal on the ground, its his lack of conditioning that has been his weakness. Brock on the other hand is all wrestling with limited exposure to BJJ. Mir should be able to exploit that by using set ups. Make Brock move into positions that favor Mir.
