10:39 AM ET 04.23 | With Zuffa, LLC's purchase of Strikeforce setting in, it seems like only a matter of time before MMA fans get to see the potential Strikeforce vs. UFC super fights that they have for so long salivated. It's hard not to get excited over the idea of seeing fights like Nick Diaz vs. Georges St. Pierre or Alistair Overeem vs. Cain Velasquez, but -- specifically in regards to the latter -- former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir warns that some of these anticipated match ups may not turn out to be as competitive as some fans would like to see.

Mir vs. Overeem.....now that would be a mismatch.

Umm, guys, that's not Frank Mir. That's Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic.

They could probably make one or two superfights. The rest would be mismatches
