UFC 130: Frank Mir Thinks Roy Nelson Should Be Fighting at Light Heavyweight

[amauta5]

I think Nick Diaz interviews more eloquently tan Frank.... Mir, go home son before I slap yo pretty face.

[AraMusicTV]

Mir is a beast

[602yvette]

dos santos will knocks his ass out

[TheShottyCutScene]

Sonnen, learn from this.

[isk8erboi]

psssss im so good i made mir go to sleep with a knee bar

[road35]

Franks awesome, he's got such a motor mouth

[luusena]

I love Mir but his striking is nowhere near JDS striking, JDS would kill him. I mean, Big Nog almost knock him out saturday.

[Cenobyte666]

He is a large version of ben affleck

[aranilah]

love the guy but he is slightly cocky, he wldnt stand a chance against jds

[drankkkkkk]

He cleans up good.

[TheDealMaster]

Frank Mir is easily the most well spoken fighter in the MMA that I can think of. It's a pleasure to see (and hear).

[animalrightsrightnow]

I heard Frank Mir mention that he was Vegetarian. I know that Jake Shields (did a peta2 video), Mike Tyson, Fitch, Mac Danzig, Nick Diaz, Simpson and Saunders...natural body builders, olympians etc are and it seems to work well, I do know some dieticians. If so thats interesting, I saw some crazy factory farm videos.

[LandonInFlorida]

Book this... Once his fighting career comes to an end, Mir becomes the Howard Cossell/Bob Costas of MMA color commentary on TV.

[dalhousie44]

Junior would eat your head.

[EzMoneyGB]

THE BELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XRat0rX]

Is Mir suggesting that he a better fighter than Junior..........he said the same thing about Shane Carwin but we all saw what happened lmao

[Uppercut416]

@XRat0rX In a rematch I think MIr would beat Carwin. Mir looks like he;s got that killer instinct back. Carwin looked terrible against Dos Santos. Mir's learningto use tohis size.

[Rekuiemu]

@XRat0rX

He wasn't suggesting he is a better fighter than JDS. He was throwing out his opinion that he's perhaps more "well-rounded" and I think he is. His striking is decent, it's not JDS-level but then his ground game would be much superior.

[XRat0rX]

@Rekuiemu ok and opinions dont really matter much lol his striking is def. not on JDS level and his ground game is higher profiled than JDS doesnt mean its better although, it probably is but the gorund game goes out the window unless hes able to take JDS down which i doubt he will

[Rekuiemu]

@XRat0rX

JDS's ground game didn't help him much in the last few moments of his fight vs Carwin :P looked like he tapped to that choke hahah, who knows. Who cares. I hope he beats Cain anyway, not sure he will though.

[XRat0rX]

@Rekuiemu hahah i dont remembering him taping but it was a close guillatine yea i guess Mir does have the advantage on the ground i just ddnt remember the Carwin choke but yea i hope JDS wins against Cain i think Cains wrestling will prob. take the win tho -_-

[RobbingHoodMovies]

he looks like a devil 

[MrJonplane]

There's a difference between cockiness and confidence. Frank has the latter. Don't get mad.

[MrJonplane]

Frank Mir is a boss.

[yourmajesty07]

Mir makes it hard to hate him, but I can almost do it.

[ironkid92jd]

Mir vs Dos Santos would be an impressive fight. But in my opinion Dos Santos' stand up would be too much for Mir to handle and it would end with a knockout.

[001snipe]

Mir IS a nutsack, so the nut-sack hair on his chin suits him well... and he knows it.

[vnillagorilla69]

Lol, Mir is very full of himself at times.....More so than other fighters by a large margin.

[lscottskc]

if the asshole doesn't think he deserves to be at the top then he lacks confidence and can wilt at any moment what a suckass bootlicker . dana is my friend blah blah.white is a pussy too.

[ipswichkiller]

jds would rape mir

[TaylorBrogdon1]

That "WWE" guy is one of the best NCAA wrestlers of all time you idiot.

[mancalledstinger]

5 losses and got beaten by a WWE guy is not very impressive

[lacoupelachampange]

what a stud

[smdbch1]

I've watched many interviews were Mir is asked if he is in title contention and he says not yet, that's character right there but his comment about him hitting harder than JDS is a joke...I can see Mir as a future president of the UFC

[OUWATZAHLE08]

yes frank one great guy inside and outside the ring everyone have little bit cokiness sometime but he shows respekt for all

[wewerelegend1]

Frank really does give great interviews, he sounds educated, hes respectful, and honest. This guy really is an all around exceptional Mixed Martial Artist

[SELACARTEL]

Its pronounced VELAS-KEZ forget the QU sound.He's not that articulate..

[WUTZELFUTZEL]

He should play the Postal guy if they ever do a proper remake

[aroff595]

HA this is hilarious. Mir claims that he has more power than JDS. That is golden!

[depeau44]

he is trying harder than normal to sound overly articulate.. but the word is height not hythe

[NunoFreak]

I wish I could watch Lesnar fight Mir once a week.

[ry27sm]

2 really smart guys talking....RESPEKT! lol

[camilascloset]

Exquisite! He's so articulate and carries himself so well

[23loosecannon]

I LOVE FRANK

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Frank Mir likes to hear Frank Mir talk about Frank Mir. Frank Mir!!!

[daveh441]

@AlcoholicSemenStain comment stealer

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

@daveh441 From who?

[daveh441]

@AlcoholicSemenStain Me. Page 14.

[fatsomamacheese]

I love Frank Mir interviews. He carries himself like a CEO of a Forbe's 500 company, yet he is one of the toughest mothers on the planet. He then goes on to analyze his fights and other fighters with exceptional objectivity.

I used to cheer against him, I think my mind has changed.

[MuayThaiViking]

@fatsomamacheese LOL you were spot on with the CEO comparison :D

[bkershaccount]

omg, so much respect for mr. mir. he can express his opinion in a tactful way even if he gets tough questions or doesn't agree. polite, to the point, professional, respectful of the interviewer and other fighters....class act. i hope jon jones continues on his path of acting in this manner as well.

[MaDGriZz78]

@bkershaccount Yea what a class act.. he told lesnar he wanted him to be the first death in a UFC fight lol... then get stomped.

[bkershaccount]

@MaDGriZz78 your comment has nothing to do with mine. of course he wanted to kill lesnar and of course he didn't, but that has absolutely no bearing on his interview skills or his personal character. i just meant, that compared to, say, nick diaz or rampage jackson being inteviewed, frank mir is a world-apart.

[561vs864]

I would like to see Mir vs Santos that should be a very good fight. Dos santos is more of a brawler and Mir is more of a techical striker combined with the high level jiu-jitsu.

[BMason3604]

@561vs864

JDS is probably the most technical striker in the heavyweight division, and I would argue has just barely better striking than Carwin. I think JDS would destroy Mir just like Carwin did.

I honestly don't see Mir beating the top 4 UFC guys of Cain, JDS, Carwin, or Lesnar.

[561vs864]

@BMason3604 Oh no argument there, im just saying I think Mir could beat Dos Santos. Mir was able

knock down Kongo who was suppose to have a way stronger stand up game then Mir. But im also looking forward to Santos vs Carwin. I think that fight can go either way.

[verbalninja]

I like Frank. He knows his shit

[AdamR702]

Frank is a legend it was hard to watch Carwin demolish him WAR CARWIN

[Jigabooz]

mirs a boss

[MMA4LIFE20]

this fight was sick :)

[19bootsy68]

I fucking love watching Frank Mir...it does not matter if it's the weigh in's, the fights, or like this the interview....the first time i seen him was when he got beat by Ian The Machine Freeman when Big Frank was 22 or something..I fucking love Frank Mir....but im not gay :)

[Kino483]

Frank Mir = Al Capones son

[COLUMBINE1818]

So glad Mir dominated Roy Nelson. He proved that grappling match is irrelevant. He out-performed Nelson in every way. Just goes to show who the better MMA practitioner is.

[santanaincubus]

Frank talks like a pro wrestler but fights in a REAL sport and backs up what he says.

[gallumhrasha]

frank mir is an intellectual guy

[hahaderek]

holy shit ariel has a beard now?

[JagerBombsAllDay]

@hahaderek woah.. just noticed myself haha

[Atmosphereification]

Go Frank Mir. A sweet sub. would be nice to see again :)

[Terrababyy]

i cant wait to see frank mirs huge bulge

[1takethislife]

he already takes gaurd and backs so how does his belly stop him you douchefag jew

[bigceej69]

the man talks a lot of sense

[BreezyFoSheezy2010]

this is good stuff man... lol

[BrannonMcConkey]

@ahwowlovely There is no fathomable way Roy would not be more dominant at light heavy with better cardio.

[Dungarth]

..Frank used to be a nightclub bouncer before he became an MMA fighter....after watching this video I can see why he would be good at that job.

[poslettispaghetti]

What a douche bag!

[colddog13]

frank is the shit

[RajmanGamingHD]

@colddog13 take out 'the' and you have the truth...frank mir is shit

[xKEG]

I, Frank Mir am God!

[plasticboy81]

man i hope roy nelson punches him really bad!! and then eat him!!

[jonouk89]

Franks's a cool guy man..

[TonioleSuedois]

these allegations of the nuptural agreement are just outrageous. the marsupial demon which computationally and algorithmically assesses the computational complexity theory is by far a better approach

[esliass123]

Wait, he actually said he is more powerfull then Dos Santos ? WTF ? Mir has lost all his 5 matches by (T)KO, if he faces Dos Santos, he will be punched into the next week.

[ToobFobiK]

I picture frank Mir in the wwe for some reason

[auron2214]

@ToobFobiK Me too lol. He just talks to much shit just like any WWE wrestler.

[ToobFobiK]

@auron2214 "This Saturday, Big Country, at Summer Slam, I'll destroy you and when I pin you 1, 2, 3, I will become the new wwe heavyweight champion!"

[CliveBarnesMusic]

Sorry Frank, what in God's name do you mean you 'knock people over more than Dos Santos'? Dos Santos doesn't 'knock people over' he knocks people the fuck out....and he'd easily knock you out....Sorry dude...

[romastino]

franks got that look back in his eye, the look of a winner

[katsu2705]

Mir is a good guy here, but he often just goes too far at times. The build up prior to the 2nd Brock fight was ridiculous, I've never respected him since.

[jessem166]

Mir wanted to fight Dos Santos? And he thought being knocked out by Carwin was bad..

[Prout1418]

The way Mir expresses himself seems very honest and rational. I like that!

[soSiccK]

Frank Mir would have been a salesman if he had not ended up in MMA.

The guy can talk.

[ohhroach]

watch this and then watch a nick diaz interview after its hilarious

[tyshen1]

Mir has two great points.

1) He doesn't deserve an interim shot before JDS or Carwin.

2) Nelson taps into the NASCAR market.

[coolioisafoolio]

Frank Mir talks about his striking like it's been great for his whole career. He's just gotten good at striking in the past few years. Same with his physique. But I still love the guy, he's such a smart fighter.

[mastakilla64]

@bduv21 if i remember correctly vera did most of his damage to mir on the ground. and while i tend to agree with you that JDS is the better striker, mir's stand up should not be taken lightly. after beating kongo and cro cop standing and completly schooling nogueira it cant be a fluke.

[cdizzzzle]

Thats a sharp suit.

[NamChampskee]

Vince Mcmohan should give him a contract to fight at wrestlmania

[iLLUMiNATiONRECORDz]

Frank Mir is just a cool dude. He is always so balanced and collective... glad he got off the opiates they were ruining his character, always pissed off...almost like roid rage. But now you can tell he is clear headed and trying to work his way back into the top 5 heavyweights.. you cant ever underestimate roy tho... roy has a gut but a right hand that can put anyone to sleep.. pretty crafty in all areas even with the gut...This should be a good one unless someone gets clipped early.

[jopat1926]

I like Frank Mir ..i just don't dig the nut sack hair on his chin all the time..man i wish he would shave it...

[Fizzwut]

@jopat1926 Really? You really care?

Jesus christ...

[jopat1926]

@Fizzwut Really? Seems like you care too, how about not responding next-time, that's a good way to show you don't give a fuck...another dumb ass.

[marzwoody]

@jopat1926 why do you care about another guys facial hair fag

[jopat1926]

Respond to this video... 

[tinman765]

@jopat1926 i love frank too....but your comment about the nut sack hair is fucking hilarious :D

[nls8520]

@jopat1926 Agree with you.  And on both points, Franks an intelligent and well spoken fighter but he needs to shave that pubic growth on his chin. He should either grow a goatee or go clean shaved.

[excelx213]

@nls8520 lol i agree, he would look like a real mobster or hitman with goatee lol

[santanaincubus]

@jopat1926 its called a goatee

[senorbigfart]

@santanaincubus *its called a shit goatee

[lscottskc]

@jopat1926

[TheDohcmanic]

He looks like a Mobster!

[0XXSTR0XX1]

wtf dos santos has way more power and speed than mir just look at his record wtf mir is too cocky dos santos would prob clip mir and ko him cold

[west1hunnit]

@0XXSTR0XX1 agreed

[steroidsischeating]

I think Mir will beat Roy he is way better, Roy is a ok fighter who is not in shape

[Tidler7]

mir seriously thinks he has better stand up than dos santos? I like watching mir fight but he would get schooled if he tried to stand with dos santos...

[BlackFreemasonsSuck]

@bduv21 OH SHIT! IM SCARED!. IF YOUR PANTS SAGGING TOO THEN IM REALLY SCARED, AND DONT TELL ME THAT YOU WEARING A DOO-RAG, OH IM HORRIFIED.

[NavG92]

He looks like he's gonna whack someone after the interview

[JustForMN]

I've been watching mma for a while now, but I still get weirded out when they say wad lol

[Octane64]

One thing is certain, Mir can't pull that crap that he pulled against Cro Cop against Big Country, because Nelson has some decent grappling skills, and Mir would have to actually WORK in this fight!

[chitterman1987]

Hes jokes

[BlackFreemasonsSuck]

@bduv21 white spoiled kids on the internet, yeah!

[DOA01]

Mir is a pompuse arrogant fuck !

[mrpedrotafolla90]

@DOA01 I agree

[Aaron7725]

i only heard Mir talk

[terrorofsesameST]

if Frank Mir shows up he will win if the half ass Frank Mir shows..Nelson wins via KO

[nkyryry]

Mir definitely has top striking. Prolly the two best kickboxers in the heavy weight division (Kongo, CroCop) got put on their ass by his power. Dos Santos struggled finishing Mirko & Cain struggled staying conscious against Kongo lol. Mir's only problem is being too complacent with bigger guys in bad positions. Then they just pound on him. Don't knock his striking tho it's top of the division.

[TheKruRosu]

i think the same about franck mirr,insted of looking like a body billder e should also go down on is weigh

sorry but roy nelson trains for mma?????????? or just work in macdonalds....

[ihatebobsaget1989]

hey frank mir just because we havent seen the other aspects of dos santos game deosnt mean he isnt skilled in them, it means he is good enough that he hsan't has to use them.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

lol frank actually thinks he hits harder than dos santos and has as good striking. 

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@bduv21 yeah but vera fought mir after the motorcycle accident, he preformed horrible in the 3 fights after the accident even in the one he won.

[TheCodeineKid]

wow mir is delusional thinking that his striking is anywhere near dos santos

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@TheCodeineKid i agree, he is also delusional in thinking he hits harder than dos santos, dos santos has many more knockouts than he does.

[kokoth]

hehe Frank Mir looks like a 40's mafia thug...Frank the Fixer.

[ToobFobiK]

@kokoth *Cracks his knuckles*

[mikeyG703]

@kokoth no joke haha. frank owns

[SinisterSkip]

frank looks likes he gets 10% bigger each year :)

[Fr6]

haha "no difference in striking"

how many times does Mir need to get humbled?

[beerrii123]

class act

[immuntocrap2]

Very well-spoken.

[XTWDeadShot]

it should be noted that all of mirs losses have been by ko i dnt think hes gona be able to handle nelsons power

[Emielg]

Frank Mir is such a dumbass

[logan48227]

Frank is talking about Roy needing to lose weight, but Roy's cardio didn't seem too bad against JDS. Junior outboxed Roy, but Roy never seemed tired.

[BrannonMcConkey]

@logan48227 We must have been watching two different fights. Both Roy and Dos Santos were quite clearly exhausted. Roy's tank was empty before the 3rd round. Roy's cardio WOULD simply be better than it is now if he lost the weight - that really applies to anyone.

[logan48227]

@BrannonMcConkey Perhaps I should rephrase my original statement then. Roy didn't seem more tired than any other fighter in the 3rd round of a fight. Like you said, JDS was tired too and he's in great shape. I don't doubt that Roy's cardio would be better if he lost weight, but what I was getting at is that its not bad now.

If Nelson gasses in the first round sometime like Carwin did, then I would be more inclined to think that he needs to change something.

[BrannonMcConkey]

@logan48227 Well, that's a good point; however, I believe Mir's point is, imagine Roy's capabilities at 205 - then the argument becomes: could the accomplishments of one weight class outweigh another; in other words, does all that weight benefit or hinder him? He is naturally a middle-weight (probably.) Roy is impressive now, but he would be even more so at 205. Ultimately, "one is still good, but the other is even better."

[Jaremus]

Did he really say he's got more punching power than Dos Santos?? Come on Frank.

[dohertyz]

Man I wanna hang out with Frank Mir

[grimmjowi]

I think if Frank Mir wins this fight on saturday he will fight Brock lesnar next for the first contendership!

[PhukAdvertisements]

Frank Murr... is in Nelson's way.

[mufcrlz]

Damn great interview Frank is well spoken ;]

[Spyroo90]

I'm rooting for this guy, classy guy :)

[rampagesgrill84]

JDS makes people fly on their ass, Nelson all over the Brocktagon and Yvel got HANG TIME. Mir usually finds himself looking at the stars.

[Kernnun]

Mir is a well spoken dude. Good interview

[wade2thehamilton]

Frank Mir, is very well spoken, and has many great points, hes a fighter not a promoter. I'd rather get a boring win then an exciting loss. Just like most people in the world.

[MrCrazyAsshole]

@wade2thehamilton Mir well spoken? I think you have fucking brain damage

[GameDominator90]

2:11 wat? That's just not true.

[izzydub]

Frank not such a bad guy after all.... I'm starting to like him a little now

[BalanceOfTheCards]

Frank mir always has an excuse for loseing... "i didnt take it serious it serious" is a BS excuse...

[PhukAdvertisements]

@BalanceOfTheCards Actually, that's a pretty legit excuse. You ever see a scrawny kid finally get sick of being picked on a knock a big ass bully out? That happens because the bully doesn't take the scrawny kid serious, & he gets knocked the fuck out as a result.

[BalanceOfTheCards]

@PhukAdvertisements i can see that but mir always has that im better and smater than you attitude and its annoying as hell

[PhukAdvertisements]

@BalanceOfTheCards Yeah, that's true... his attitude does come off as cocky and arrogant at times..

[megamanel787]

This match is going to be awesome

[daveh441]

Frank Mir loves to hear Frank Mir talk

[excelx213]

@daveh441 lmao yeah

he probably records his own voice lol play it later before going to sleep =oP 

[Jaremus]

@daveh441  LOL. Dude, I always get the same impression with him! Frank Mir loves himself.

[verkpunk]

Big Country is going to eat Mir alive. 

[terrorofsesameST]

@daveh441 fuck off

[roumanobr]

@daveh441

who doesnt..? poop.

[joey1324]

the grappling tournament was so fucking long ago its irrelevant now quit bringing it up

[lamaquina570]

waooooooooooo frank is somethin else!!! HONEST even about him self..

[fu3ar25]

bullshit title Ariel....very mis-leading

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Is Mir brain damaged???
