Not bringing anyone one fighter down but just stating that Mir is as untested at Lesnar

Well, Silvia was still considered a top heavyweight when Mir snapped his arm, and he did win the belt there. As I add to a lot of posts, I was drunk and not explaining myself well.
He's 12-3, at least he's got in ring experience. He is is quite respected in the community for his Jiu Jiutsu. That motorcycle accident effed it all up. When he was fighting, remember everything was ending early first round, the few fights that went two rounds were surprising. When he came back too early from the accident he didn't look good, and got to add a couple losses to his record.
I guess you'd have to look at time. There'd be no reason to fight Cro Cop or Arlovski now, they're washed up. No one is going to fight Fedor, he's not coming to the UFC.
My question in return is, who in the heavyweight division is more deserving of this title shot?
