Dos Santos vs Mir: Why Dos Santos Will Win Convincingly at UFC 146

Junior Dos Santos will defeat Frank Mir with a knockout to improve his perfect UFC record to 9-0 on Saturday night.

Mir is a quality opponent, but he doesn't have the strength to withstand five full rounds of punches from Dos Santos.

Dos Santos is one of the toughest fighters in the sport and knows what it's like to fight a talented opponent in a major event. His experience will certainly help him in this bout.

While Dos Santos isn't as talented on the ground as Mir, his ability to knock out opponents with devastating punches is quite impressive.

Mir's defensive skills have to be sharp in this fight or Dos Santos will end this bout early with a knockout blow to the face.

Dos Santos knows that it won't take many powerful punches to end this fight, so he will certainly look to begin the fight with a ferocious display of hits to the body.

If Dos Santos want to ensure that he beats Mir on Saturday night, a strong start that chips away at the confidence of Mir throughout the first few rounds would be a good strategy.

With more strength and a better all-around skill set, expect Dos Santos to win UFC 146 and add another quality victory to his MMA resume.
