I actually missed the part about the face damage. I don't have Dave's expertise and experience with MMA but I do have experience with getting punched in the face. "Damage" in the form of cuts and brusing, many times, looks worse than it is. Lots worse. You can cut a guy from a grazing blow that doesn't really hurt, for instance.
I'm I right on this, Dave?
It was my sense that Mir was always completely aware of what he was doing. As Ennoris, Kane, and Dave, have pointed out.
