He is BIG and strong. I don't think he can punch like Fedor, I think he gasses more easily and he hasn't really faced anyone like Mirko yet. I think I've seen all of his fights and atleast the ones he had in PRIDE he dominated his opponents with his size, he took Assuerio Silva to a decision which he got.

He is alot bigger - 6'5" and 275. Looks like Fedor, not very cut but definitely beefy and strong.
I only saw one fight of his against some Fo-ke from NZ and he does seem to gas easily. Good possibility of a sleeper since he's supposed to be a sambo champ as well.

He fights the same style of fight that his brother does. He's an above average striker who uses his strikes to close the distance and go for a throw takedown using his Judo ability. From there he likes to GnP his opponent. The one thing about him is that he is HUGE. He's about 6'7 and he tips the scales at around 270-280 lbs. He's got a current MMA record of 3-0 with a win over Assuerio Silva.

One thing's for sure; this is not a walk in the park for Mirko by any means.

He is slow and plodding..

I think Mirko is going to be able to tee off on him.

I concur but I still don't think it will be a cake walk for Mirko.

I think it's a potential dangerous fight for Mirko that he'll win easily. As long as he doesn't let Alex close the distance, he'll KO him. If he's silly enough to let the big guy take him down, Mirko is toast. I predict round 1 KO for Mirko.

Mirko's got to keep it simple. Fight like Mo Smith did against Coleman. He has to wear Alex down with leg kicks, he's a big guy so he will gas and when Mirko takes his legs away from him he can knock him out! Go Mirko!
