I don't. Mir's been working his wrestling hard for almost a year now, and Roy's been shown to have pretty good knockout power. If he stays standing, he needs to worry about possibly getting knocked out,. On the ground, I think Mir's got a very disctinct advantage. If he's on bottom, Mir's got one of the most dangerous guards in MMA. Even Brock didn't want to mess with him on the ground unless he could at least get half guard on the takedown. If Mir's on top, the biggest things he has to worry about are armbars, triangles, and omoplatas. All of these submissions require the legs, and thus are much harder for fat guys to perform because their hips are easier to control. Even sitting up to secure a kimura would be more difficult, and grabbing Mir's leg would be really hard too. He might be able to do these things to an out of shape guy, a smaller guy, or a lesser trained guy, but Mir is a bigger, stronger, master level BJJ black belt. I don't think he can submit Mir from the bottom.
That said, we've yet to see Roy on his back. Mir may not be able to easily submit him either, but I think either of them could knock the other out. I believe Mir's going for the takedown, because if he's on top, I don't think Nelson can win from the bottom.
