What should Mir's gameplan be for Overeem?

Get picked apart in neutral positions for no apparent reason.
War Mir.
 
Whatever game plan he has it won't help him unless he can land a big punch.
 
That would be one of the worst things he could do.. Overeem would destroy him with GNP if they got to the ground.

Actually it's one of his best options:

-Standing with Overeem will get him ko'd.
-If the Reem decides to push Frank against the fence it will be over in a matter of seconds.
 
Throw heavy shit. Mir isn't exactly known to be the best standup guy in there but he has alot of power in his shit.

At some point you have to kind of realize that Overeem, while a great kickboxer, has some obvious glaring issues with his standup. Either that or he is so confident that he's the better stand up guy he just half asses it. Either way, it's fairly obvious he's pretty susceptible to a knockout at this point, unless he tidied up his crap.
 
If Mir gets guard on Overeem with a couple of minutes to work Overeem is in danger. That would be a great chance for Mir, the trouble is how is he going to get there.
 
Do his standard "play dead" thing and hope he survives long enough for Reem to get tired so he can grab a leg and twist it.
 
Submission Offense,







All I can think of. Mabye he will be able to strike like did against Nog in their first encounter,
 
Mir needs to put preassure on overeem, overeems seems to fold when the pressure is on.
 
Mir needs to just go for broke from opening bell, that's his highest chance.
 
outlast him and go the distance, in the meantime keep your distance and stay away from the cage.
 
Mir has to go to the ground and submit him. Overeem got a nice ground game, but not as good as Mir.
On feet Mir has to keep distance and avoid to go with his back to the cage.
If overeem can work him in the cage, Mir has serious trouble in the clinch. Mir's defence in the clinch isn't that good. That kind of knees that put overeem to Brown, is probably to much for Mir.
 
dont let overeem kick box and keep his distance, also dont let him clinch, the needs to be aggressive and take him down, but i dont see him being able to at this point in his career

No, you submit, do you hear? You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs!
 
run for 7 minutes. Than blow on Reem and watch him fall over
