I have no memory of Mir-Nelson 1. I watched it, but couldn't tell you a thing about it.

Mir landing leg kicks at will and nice left crosses. Wins the first. #Bellator231

Roy Nelson appears to be wearing three pairs of shorts.

I can’t wait to see the rematch of this fight in Bare-Knuckle Boxing next week. #Bellator

You can always count on Mir to add some new wrinkle to his game. Nelson is the exact opposite. He's been the same fighter for 15 years.

Ref, at final bell, tells Nelson and Mir "great fight". He lied.
