I am kind of dissapointed with Mir's decision not becuase of the guys he picked but of who he didn't picked! Shit!?!? Why didn't he have a striking coach? Mir could've been the BJJ coach granted Drysdale is world class but a striking coach would have made the team more complete. Not that it matters, I mean Nog's team have two very technical strikers and a defensive guru!

Also, it would've been interesting if Mir had pick Randy Couture as his assistant! What then Dana? Ooooh it would've been great but it wouldn't have happened.

Bottom line, I hope they have some decent translators for the show. :)
