frank mir just fought, and he looked absolutely terrible.
he's on a 2 fight skid, what do you think he's gonna say when they approach him with the idea of fighting overeem? im willing to bet he even turned it down. of course, i have no proof. just speculation.
if you honestly think mir would have been significantly better than a browne fight, i just don't know what the fuck to tell ya. mir's done nothing lately.
I'm not so sure Browne is more explosive than Overeem. Alastair can generate crazy power over short distances.
Edit: I guess you could argue that Browne's elbows against Gonzaga were a good counter-example, but I still think Overeem has the edge.
Mir's got beat by 2 guys in the top 5 and DC was a decision. He didn't get KTFO by a top 10 guy after running his mouth and owning the 1st to rounds.
I think Mir would jump at the chance to fight Reem. With his back to back loses a good win against Reem get's him back into the picture.

Lets see if he can make a name off of Travis browne
Reem but he cant act cocky like he did against Bigfoot, keeping his hands down.
So what do you think will happen when Browne gets a good win over reem?
I'd rather go with Overeem vs Nelson.
Frank Mir.
Pull Nog v Werdum and let Werdum and DC go for the next #1 contender. Give Big Nog to Reem.
But such a big bad man like Reem and he comes back against Brown.
