UFC 100: Frank Mir talks striking and the lack of skill amongst heavyweights

[Damondeeh20]

Mir stirking isn't as good as he thinks it is.

[simmy0987]

ok so it's safe to say he aint no pussy or he wouldnt be fighting in the ufc. but the fact still remains....he places himself on a higher pedestal than he deserves to be on.

[Camelhoun]

all watch my video "FRANK MIR STRIKING EXPOSED"

[misstreeious]

blah blah blah..........

[ooohrob]

MIR JUST LOVES HEARING HIMSELF TALK

[f9hunter]

fuck frank mir talks too much of himself.

[gary83uk]

In hindsight this interview is pretty hilarious.

Mir is one of those guys that goes into a fight thinking he knows how to handle every situation and when he is put in a situation he doesn't expect hes in a lot of trouble.

[Luffyone]

Mir is such a pretentious douchebag.

[TheConorconor]

Lesnar!

[quezcatol]

I agree with all Mir said, but he talk against himself, but on the ground, he couldnt do anything against a good wrestler like Lesnar in the first or 2nd fight. sure he got Lesnar in teh first,but thats when Lesnar just stood infront of mir doing nothing.

[canuckman87]

mir's frame is too huge fior light heavyweight.

[jackburton2009]

He'd have to lose too much weight, it's not in him. He likes his ice cream.

[jackburton2009]

Mir is intelligent and a good speaker, better than a fighter as we saw against Lesnar. As they say, those who can't do, teach.

[lanegjones]

Mir needs to go to light heavyweight

[niledeathmetalgods]

mir intelligent? he is a fucking bulshitter and is a PUSSY

[quezcatol]

yeah, because smart ppl usually works as the bouncer at stripclubs...

[robGOBBLIN2323]

those are words from a true dumbass who knows absolutely nothing about mma just stfu and watch ur tv no one wants to hear your stupid uneducated opinion

[niledeathmetalgods]

i know 10 times more about mma than you, you are stupid mma noob

[drywallfreak]

your a freaking idiot. its easy to call someone else a pussy when your not the one in the cage.iv been in the cage[drywallfreak]and anybody whos man enough to step in it is no pussy,let alone go with a 300 pound fighter

[region1111]

I wonder what would have happened in the second mir/lesnar fight if Mir just spent the last 7 months focusing primarily on weight lifting for strength instead of on unnecessarily complicated and specialized jiu jitsu and boxing techniques?

[lanegjones]

he needs to go down in weight

[XxDiddyDidItxX]

Mir was so cocky during the fight . Was rooting for Mir till that smile, which showed just how cocky he was being . Think i may just go ahead and root for Lesnar, who wouldnt after that great speech he gave after winning? xD

[cutestalien]

Mir can be good commentator, maybe even better than Tito Ortiz )

[R3D00d]

Mikeshredder233. Jordanav. Nice predictions; don't give up your dayjobs.

[dave997]

fedor is the only one who can beat lesnar. And that would be from a submission

[MrUltimateTKO]

HIGHLY doubt it, Once Lesnar takes Fedor down, its over for Fedor. Notice that Mir mentioned that in BJJ, you are able to move your hips when you are on your back and can get a submission, Lesnar adapted his style to submissions and you can see that in his fight against Mir 2 nights ago. Mir was not able to move his hips at all. Lesnar has really learned some great techniques, one of them was the neck crack on Mir and control of Mir's wrists. Fedor will not be able to pull off submissions.

[natholomew]

Downhill from here, Mir.

[jakeroats1]

mir got his ass kicked, you mean a easier challenge for fedor, lesnar will not lose again. Frank was a reminder not to get 2 cocky

[YeahClickClack]

I agree, i think mir could give fedor a better challenge to fedor than lesnar, i think he could survive two rounds with fedor.

[DrFeelgood1127]

Yah Mir won the fight , but he was getting dominated the whole time. That was Brock Lesnars FIRST match in the UFC. There is no way Mir's gonna win this one.

[LivingActTheatre]

Not really. If you watch the fight carefully, Mir was actually going for an armbar just before the ref stopped the fight. It may look like Lesnar was dominating because he was on top and punching, but it wasn't as bad as it may seem. Mir could have finished the fight with other ways...

[MrUltimateTKO]

You are right, Lesnar still dominated Mir on the ground. At this point, Brock will dominate any jiu jitsu guy. Because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guys need to use their HIPS...without that, there is no submissions. Brock adapted his style to BJJ, its rediculous. Not even Fedor will be able to get submissions off his back. Fedor will get destroyed if he faces Brock.

[jordanav]

lol Mir loves to talk shit but he is intelligent and way more skilled than Lesnar.

[powerofawarrior]

The only way I see Brock losing is if he makes another rookie mistake and gets caught.

[boombya123]

mir got his ass kicked by ian freeman

n mir neglected to mention he was droped by lesner within seconds of the fight beginning

[seaFoodSifu]

Mir did get his ass kicked by Ian Freeman, but that was when he was a straight-up submission fighter. He's evolved from then. We'll see at UFC 100... he says he's WAY better than the Nogeira fight. Hm, I'm interested in this.

[boombya123]

i believe hes a better fighter than brock n i believe he will win

but i hate his self loving n his beliefs on sertan things

[MPMaarek]

Mir one, Brock zero. That is all that matters. He didn't get lucky. He has experience and skill. Brock was green, and couldn't defend himself in a big aspect of the game. I hope Brock studied submissions, because we need a good fight. That being said, Brock has awesome physical ability, and that is always dangerous.

[albiepaq]

You made the most in depth comment that I can find so far.

[dirtrider9805]

Yeah hopefully MIR and Henderson take lesnar and bisping out for sure bisping is going down

[guitbox9]

wtf happend to brandon vera?

[spazz0id]

He dropped down a weight division. It's where he should be.

[777McLovin777]

brandon vera ducked a fight vs machida so he got put to the bottom of the pile

[djfreshprinc3]

UFC 09 any 1 for xbox

[djfreshprinc3]

Go Henderson and Mir!

[Joao42]

when will ufc 100 happen?

[bigo5585]

sat. night

[OptimusPrime1888]

july 11

[dienowpl0x]

you are obviously not a ufc fan the 11th in australia so i guess 10/11 in usa

[ReAlBoZnIaN15]

niginit i want brock to win lol but where did u see his trainings?

[origonalcreamcheese]

wow beating nog made frank think of himself as some sort of HW deity. I really hope lesnar heath herrings his ass now.

[gekko101]

i ko'd nog he is the best well besides fedor and josh barnett but hes amazing hes #3 heavyweight in my opinion.

[funeralforagod]

nog is done. hes not even 40 and he talks like a senile 80 yr old. i mean come on man sylvias worthless ass was beating his ass till he got choked

[craigodorius]

you my friend took the words right out of my mouth. mir is gay

[palaghiuc]

@origonalcreamcheese lol

[saberman41]

@origonalcreamcheese the 2nd fight mir was beating him pretty bad on his feet when he thru the jumping knee was the end

[kommeruda]

Man, I just love this guy. I love his talk.But nothing can beat the trash talk for his first fight with brock "Im gonna rip the skin of his face, I want his lungs to cave in, I want him to feel pain for stepping anywhere near me" just brilliant.

[craigodorius]

your sir kommeruda are an idiot

[kommeruda]

No, I love overconfident laidback guys. Like Dan henderson, he just sits there and look perfectly natural and says that he is gonna win, that's the way it's gonna be, I can not happen any other way. Just super confident in himself, I love it, it's hilarious. Man I hope these two win, I hate that ugly gorilla brock lesnar, and I hate the small cocky fly michael b. If he gets knocked out after all his bullshit talk I will laugh untill I die.

[funeralforagod]

amen

[craigodorius]

confidence is a great thing but being in love with yourself like mir is, is stupid its not confidence like Hendersons confidence, its rediculous what he says "i'm lightyears better than brock lesnar" i can't believe he said that, what a fucking self absorbed piece of shit. mir was always very confident which is fine but he never ran his mouth in such a stupid way. Mir thinks he is Gods gift to heavy weight mma

[boombya123]

he is a dumb ass for sure saying hes lightyears ahead not just of brock but of all heavy wieghts fedor would murder mir standing up what a ass hole

[seaFoodSifu]

Well said, kommeruda. Mir - GSP - Henderson!

[pandakin0808]

That's my picks but I have a sick feeling (just like lesnar/couture) that lesnar will win just because of how huge he is.

[seaFoodSifu]

Me too man... I just can't shake it. No sports betting for me for UFC matches! :P Tomorrow's going to be goood.

[niginit]

Go watch the videos of brock's training, the came out today.

Brock is going to win. It's not what I want, it's just the fucking truth.

[HeIIoHater]

where? can u reply with the link plz

[SiccOne781]

intro song??

[UFCfan4lif3]

and how would you know if he's using the same "Big Words? are you stalking his every interview and judging whatever he says? if so...then your the one who is phenomenally stupid. i bet you can't even comprehend his vocabulary. it's sad really judge someone based on there speaking skills yet you criticize him for atleast having that knowledge. it makes you look more like the uneducated douche bag.

[bgabbs69]

Blah blah blah suck a dick because you are PHENOMANALLY good at it.

[bgabbs69]

Since when did Mir become the god of all heavies?!?!?? ANd another tip for Mir when you are trying to sound educated dont use the same "big" word over and over, because then you sound PHENOMANALLY stupid.

[UFCfan4lif3]

brock marks cant do shit but think of lame excuses of why brock lost so early.

[asheri7]

I hope Brock permanently shuts this moron up,,,he's so full on himself. This mutha fucker thinks he's the best thing since slice bread

[1p0]

lol i agree he is cocky but man i gotta say he does have more skill than lesnar

[UFCfan4lif3]

your poin is? frank mir wasn't a known striker when he faced brock. but he's a quick intelligent learner.and training with world class strikers. he wont get demolished like you think he will. his fight with nog proved that.

[BlackDillon]

IF my memory serves me correctly, Frank got SMASHED standing up to Lesnar last time. A huge right to his face, if I'm right? And he's light years ahead in striking? Riiiight.

See you later Frank.

[dtanktdtank]

When mir wins again what you gonna do.

[UFCfan4lif3]

honestly brock hasn't done anything to earn respect,. this isn't wwe. you can't just go in with a predetermined storyline and match outcome and be a face or heel for vince mcmahon and expect the crowd to love you. that's not how it works in MMA. fans of the sport cheer for you based on what you do in your career to get there. brock fought only 3 fights and is already the champ? it took real experienced fights then brock way longer then that when they entered the UFC just to get a title shot.

[mickytids111]

fank mir is my favourite fighter but its annoying me the he gives lesner no respect if he loses he going to look like a fool what happend to modest mir

[duffman1221]

frank mir is 1 of the best fighters ever. so smart for such a big guy.

[sports23432009]

Mir for president?..LMAO J/K. the man speaks the truth though and he has me convinced he will tko brock. maybe that will shut all his fans up about his so called super hulk strength.lol. but of course deep down i really want mir to break brocks arms or legs. whichever comes first.

[southerntemper]

Lesnar really needs to go on a diet!

[steroidsischeating]

why does he? hes 280lbs hes not on steroids no more so hes gonna carry abit of weight on him

[southerntemper]

I absolutely hate Lesnar. Any big fat-ass bully can beat on lighter-weight opponents, and I want to see Mir break Lesnar's bones - OR test Lesnar's chin.

[jeremyshambles]

agreed 100 %. take care.

[magmagmag715]

frank is a smart athlete.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

OH SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUP!!!!!!

[juggo3]

Mir's a good talker.  He almost convinced me that he's an incredible striker now.

[mickytids111]

me too and if ya watch him he aint that good really

[jack11643]

@juggo3 ummm his pretty fucking good

especially for a HW

[jack11643]

@juggo3 well he is pretty fucking good now isnt he buddy

[xxliljpxx]

I hope we get a good fight

[Paragon231]

Who does he think he is? Bernard Hopkins?

[Super8hypnosis]

He makes a good point on finding the right coach for the right things.

You cant rely on a muay thai coach to teach you how to box properly

[poolboyinla]

Lesnar outstruck Mir on the feet last time and he will do it again.

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

Frank Mir is an idiot! ?i hope Brock silences this arrogant prick once and for all!

[elheadkickio]

I love when he pays himself these ridiculous compliments like "I'm as fast as a middleweight" and "I'm light years ahead in the knowledge of striking than almost everyone else at HW". These things are clearly false and I wonder if he's trying to make more money by playing the heel. I hope so at least, since if he's not, then he has the most undeservedly huge ego of anyone on earth.

[mmajacked4]

hes just tryin to hype the fight up or hes REALLY confident in himself. i like mir in this fight but he is goin over the edge about himself lol

[elheadkickio]

Yeah, exactly. I may end up picking him in this fight, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

[kalamantas3]

wat a douche bag gosh

[bm2g]

all this guy does is talk! i carnt wait for brock to dump him on his head!

[gorky808]

HAHAHA! 2:53 "I'm light years ahead in the knowledge of striking..." WTF? He looked terrible hitting the pads.

[bm2g]

he needs to watch his fight with vera and take this interview off youtube!!

[useyouforfood]

Interesting interview as always with Frank Mir. Always provides more insight than the old, "Been training hard.....looking to finish the fight."

[undisputedgreatest]

I think the same thing. I hate hearing a lot of guys talk. Mir is always insightful. Anytime I see a "Frank Mir Interview," I'm very interested as to what he has to say. Same with Barnett and Forrest.

I think Mir is at a very dangerous stage in his career, and I can't wait to see what he is capable of against Lesnar. I also want to see him fight Randy. If he can beat both of them, then he is everything he says he is.

[region1111]

I'd rather not see mir fight randy. It sucks to see the guy get beat up at his age.

[undisputedgreatest]

Preposterous. Randy Couture has NEVER gotten beaten up. He has lost fights...but he has never gotten dominated. Everyone he fights gets taken down at some point, and bashed. Lesnar got lucky against him. And, Couture is the perfect fighter to beat Mir. He can hang with him standing, dominate the clinch, and avoid submissions. He'd also drain him, and bash him.

[region1111]

Lesnar didn't get lucky against couture. At the time of the fight Lesnar was about 53 pounds heavier. (278 vs. 225.)

[undisputedgreatest]

Yeah, and he still got lucky. Lesnar was much bigger, but he has far less skills and experience. He got lucky, rewatch the fight.

[region1111]

If lesnar wasn't 53 pounds heavier that "lucky" punch wouldn't have knocked couture on his ass.

[dmooney1112]

severn vs gracie ufc 4

little guy, 170, 5'11

beats giant 6'3 245 with triangle choke. Size matters not, lesnar is just a freak athlete, explosiveness and amazing coordination, also a giant, but other guys his size don't have his abilities.

[region1111]

> severn vs gracie ufc 4

Back then nobody knew what the gracies did.

> Size matters not

If size matters not, why do the athletic commissions bother having weight classes?

[dmooney1112]

well thats my point, theres weight classes, brock and couture are ni the same, size doesnt matter,

[region1111]

I'd like to go to a martial arts school where they talk about all the little technical details about what each jab means, its position, etc. Every school I've been to they've had the attitude "just do what we say". :-P

[sixty7a]

might wanna switch "schools" if that's all they teach. is "do what I say"

[region1111]

yeah that's exactly what I did. Want to recommend a better school where they actually teach you to think?

[samiehmed]

Win or Lose im glad Mir is in the run for a variety of fights now that the accident/TUF/injury are over. I hope he fights regularly and we get to see more of his fantastic performances

[MixedTracialArtist]

mir is delusional . he will get smashed maybe not by brock but by a legit HW

[1985frogman]

ian freeman before bro
