UFC 140: Frank Mir Blog

[HeiinZz]

Frank is the best!

[GSP4EVAH]

I like Frank Mir. He's a good fighter. Definitely in the top 10 if not top 5

[sasha8151]

frank mir kick ass

[brood700]

awesome video, the music matches Mir's demeanor and what he is talking about at the end.

[vickjoe6851]

Class act guy right there

[StolzerDeutscher1919]

Well Mir did not get lucky twice. He is a great fighter! I would love to see him fighting Overeem ( Obviously loser at UFC 141) and break Overeems neck.

[voryel]

no es deportivo

[TheEmericano]

Why are people saying he got lucky it's his choice to take the fight , staff or not If you aren't 100% then don't get mad if you lose

[KZ3fps]

@ 1:23 Foreshadowing much?

[orochidan]

the white man marches on. fuck big nigga nog.

[claritycome]

Always had great respect for Mir, for te way he recovered from his accident. He's a warrior but also a family man...Can't understand all the hate.

[MrHeat48]

How long does it take to recover from the broken arm like Big Nog's arm ??? I actually feel hurt when i heard *SNAP*... and saw Big Nog's arm twisted... so sick!!!

[smokeyandbaby]

Watch the replay!

WatchUFC140. com

[DMTwannaB]

I pray to God Junior Dos Santos fights and kills Mir. Literally kills him. I want him dead

[Lutz8one3]

@DMTwannaB i got mir to put the whooping on dos.flameboyy

[ChrisLovesHouse]

@DMTwannaB Your head is full of shit because of this answer

[jparra20]

note to self do not let FRANK MIR get a hold of one of my limbs.

[Chevalier765]

Mir inspires me fear not respect.

I beleive there is something wrong, dark and insane in his mind.

[AtTheDriveBy]

We all know Nog came into the fight with a broken humerus, so Frank isn't that great

laawl

[2submit]

he got lucky....

[stattoo32]

I did not care for Mir in the past due to his cocky persona, but it appears since his accident he has had some real personal grow. That is nice to see! Punching power and can pull subs out of almost anything, awesome fighter!!!

[bofohandsome]

I fuking love him man!

[1111itachi]

i love this guy

[obesejim]

Hopefully Mir learns from this fight: He SUCKS at standup, but is a GOOD on the ground. In other words, stop trying to knock opponents out (and get knocked yourself) - just submit them!

[SirHolmesy]

Mir looked really nervous and didnt look like himself when he came out but this was the most exciting fight. really enjoyed watching machida sleep also.

[OUWATZAHLE08]

man frank mir loos better then ever hope he meet brock lesnar again but i dought it veerdum is gogin to knock brock out !

[ALEdoublebackflip]

what the submission!!

[StolzerDeutscher1919]

Submission of the century!

[eloubalou]

1:20 - 1:46 Great answer!

[123iii123iii]

Mir as awesome as that comeback was looked extremely sloppy at the beginning, Looked almost as if he was half awake lol

[antegradnja]

mir is a fucking pimp

[bloomsta1]

Good said frank

[scottyiscute]

@RonelDelgado Well big nog should've known the submission wasn't gonna hurt. When I get caught in a toe hold or a kneebar, I attempt to escape once. If I can't, I tap. Know your submissions, and they won't hurt you.

[RonelDelgado]

@scottyiscute I know a lot of JiuJitsu Im a champion I agree with you I f you roll and dont escape,better tap.But the real jiujitsu teach you to execute the pressure tightening slowly until the opponent taps not twisting the arm wih full power until it breaks.Dont try to defend Mir if you see the video you will notice that he did the presure fast not slow.he just thinked....This was the arm that Knock me out I must break it know,so dont defend that bitch dude

[RonelDelgado]

@RonelDelgado he did it with bad intentions

[scottyiscute]

@RonelDelgado Not necessarily. When you get pumped so much in a fight, you tend to do shit fast. Big Nog hit him with big punches that prob got his blood flowing and all that adrenaline. So its right, he did do it too fast but to say it was with bad intentions is just jumping to conclusions.

[Mr261194]

frank mir is almost complete. his bigger. stronger. better boxing. better wrestling and better cardio. im telling you man. his next for the heavyweight title

[eLLgoo82]

@Mr261194 I think any of the elite strikers in the division will beat him but they won't attempt a submission like Nog, they'll just pound away.

[Mr261194]

@eLLgoo82

not really. JDS is maybe the only one. the other are just average. but like i said in 2 more fight to the championship. he ginna be complete

[thenewgeneration123]

@Mr261194 better boxing? He got owned by nog in striking

[Mr261194]

@thenewgeneration123

he does but he didnt use it.

[iSubmission]

@Mr261194 yes i agree with you :) i don't seem him going anywhere but UP!

[Jewzilian]

He reminds me so much of Jason Segel.

[bigguydave]

Congrats frank. AMUURIIICAAAA FUCK YAAAAA!

[randalolc]

i dont even know why everyone is bashing mir big nog has 2 choices Tap or Snap thing is nog choose both first snap then tap obviously he cannot nap 

[rizen918x]

he did tap lol his arm snapped really hope mir gets submission of the night

[randalolc]

lol after watching the replay nogueira tapped just a second after the pop so i would still consider this a submission win

[DeUnseen]

I didn't see the tap, but we all saw the breakage!!!

[TheLukieBoi1]

@DeUnseen He didn't tap.. But the fight was over once that arm broke, lol..

[rizen918x]

dude frank mir and jones were getting a lot of heat and they finished off those motherfuckers

[RonelDelgado]

fucking frank mir I hope they kill you bitch DIE mir DIE

[LifestreamQc]

@RonelDelgado haha, butthurt brazilians are funny

[RonelDelgado]

@LifestreamQc No butthurt,its only that the pressure was bad executed because in that point you dont feel pain,he did it with bad intentions, in that point of the arm there is not pain,the only thing that advice you in that point is a snap or a fracture,I hope when he get his ass kicked they dont have compassion with that bitch and then fracture his face with heavy ground and pound and direct elbows to his face and fracture his fucking cheek bone

[SandmanJAAE]

technical submission guys... not submission

[d314j4]

@Hotshy420 haha me too man! i was screaming 'ARRRGH TAP TAP TAP!!!! ... OH MY GOD HIS FUCKING ARM'...

[Hotshy420]

This fight was the best on the card imo. Had me fucking yelling at the TV lol. I thought the ref was sure to call it when Mir had both his arms by his side for a couple of seconds but damn awesome come back. Couldn't stand watching when he popped his arm..shit was raw

[19Bill94]

@Hotshy420 i was standing up and yelling haha

[boombox4321]

@Hotshy420 fucken eh man i think all of us can relate to that

[randalolc]

he didnt do it intentionally we all know Nogueira wont tap no matter what

[TheDrdressup]

@randalolc he did tap, but after it popped.

[MancoChakutec]

so MIR is the first guy to finish big nog and the first to sub him

[SandmanJAAE]

@MancoChakutec and in such a way

[TheOreoswithmilk]

@MancoChakutec hes not the first to finish nog, u some kind of retard

[icedfun]

@TheOreoswithmilk He was the first to KO him and the first to submit him. All of Rodrigo Nogueira's loses were by decisions up to the point he met Mir.

[TheOreoswithmilk]

@icedfun technically, cain the first to actually finish Nog. that was a finish, Mir's was a just

crap compared to Cains, yea he did stop him, but NOg had a staph infection, i think that the real finish was CAINS.

[UFCMMANEWS]

@TheOreoswithmilk Cains was a knockout frank tko. tko still counts as finish.

[UFCMMANEWS]

@TheOreoswithmilk He was the first to finish nog what drugs do you do ? GOOGLE IT. FRANK MIR IS THE FIRST to submit and finish nogueira

[XXxReDruMxXX909]

@MancoChakutec cain was the first to finish him

[abrickman]

@XXxReDruMxXX909 Mir fight was Dec '08, Cain was Spring '10.

[doeboy84]

Mir broke Big Nog's arm!!

[iSubmission]

FRANK MIR WON!!!! BY SUBMISSION!!!

[rizen918x]

Mir and noguiera 2 is gonna be a war I'm saying Mir though shit after this. I wonder what's next for noguiera if he loses or wins

[jonval16]

I've got so much respect for this guy.

[orochidan]

frank the tank is goin knock that mexican out. lil nigger is going down!

[redhatlt]

@orochidan Fucking idiot,first of all he is Brazilian,second your mom must have been fucked by a fat Mexican and the result was you as a baby.

[mmadaveo]

I see why Dana did it but I still want Torres back one that that would of been better is 20% of his fight purse goes to a rape charity for his next two fights but oh well its too late now.

[gthletic1]

wow he's a really smart fucker

[money0vrerrythin11]

Mir is really dangerous on his feet, and has the experience to take it if it goes to the ground,, but Nogueira is waaay better in Bjj so I think Nogueira will take it to the floor and get a guillotine.. WAR MIR!!

[DoomsdayKillz]

@money0vrerrythin11 Nobody is going to submit Frank Mir. I don't give either a big edge in BJJ, but mir has better wrestling and has 20lbs of solid muscleon Nog so I can't see Nog winning any way other than punchers chance that everyone has going into every fight. I give Mir the edge Standing, Clinch, Ground, Power, Speed, Movement

[pombamz1]

On December 8, 2011 it was announced by UFC president Dana White, in an interview with SI.com, that Torres had been cut from the UFC due to the following quote from the TV show Workaholics made on Torres' Twitter page

"If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises."

[Khaos969]

why torres gone anyway?

[imachku]

@Khaos969 he had posted a tweet about a rape van i dont know the full details but dana white didnt like that so he got cut for taking rape lightly

[GuerrerodeMMA]

Frank Mir is the Boss

[signboyy]

mir needs to be prepared for the possibility that nog's striking is going to be far better than their first fight due to the surgeries he got which restored his mobility and speed. if it turns out that nog is now a better striker than mir he needs to take it to the ground and use his wrestling and bjj.

but if it turns out mir is still by far the better striker despite nog's surgeries then mir should tko nog as decisively as the first fight.

[ThatCooLDUD3]

Its funny how Mir is on a win streak and hasnt gotten a title shot, whereas if Brock wins ONE match he gets a title shot -___-

[mrmee1229]

@ThatCooLDUD3 money

[dreamgetter13]

The guy can talk like a champ. I hope he actually fights when he gets in the ring...

[Mannykeri]

if Mir wins he deserves to get close to another title shot.

[JuKa3177]

FUCK DANA WHITE

WE WANT TORRES BACK

[Zebrahead6000]

When Mir retires, he should replace Goldberg as an announcer. He has great insight on the sport.

[Jpbuckers]

lol he put carwin ahead of brock

[thetinyfarm]

I've always kinda liked Frank Mir, even with his sometimes misspoken persona... Knowing he comes from Cuban roots, and honors that, makes me give him even more respect.

Although I should be saying this since he'll fight a national hero tonight. I like Nog and I like Mir... damn.

[Ceyfunn070]

@thetinyfarm i didnt knew frank is from cuba

[thetinyfarm]

@Ceyfunn070 he isn't from Cuba, but his father is. His name is Francisco Miranda, hence the Frank Mir. That's why he sports the cuban flag in his shorts and Suffer gear. IDK, I like that. It takes balls to do that as an american in front of that big of an audience. That said, I'll still root for Minotauro, obviously. :]

[sycosteve72]

frank mir without a doubt studies mixed martials atrs to the highest level out of any ufc fighter, in the cage training and, book smart wise hes been my favorite hevy weight sinse he fought wess sims. his comentary with the wec was soooo cool to listen to becuase he understands mma. knows what move a guy might be thinking of joe know a good bit but mike golberg doesnt eddie bravo used to to tell them what was actually happening during the fight via ear peice. then he quit,

[chrisSosa]

MIGUEL TORRES....

[jin37uk]

If Frank Mir wasn't a fighter, he'd be an astro physicist

[NoMercyNoLove]

War Mir!

[89lolica]

FRANK MIR-definition of normal person with total awareness of the world that is surrounded by.

[Catlin11]

mir looks pregnant again

[sycosteve72]

@Catlin11 hater! dudes gonna step in the cage @ 288. and lean. cut and massive.

[pconnors8]

BRING BACK MIGUEL TORRES !

[b2spirita]

@pconnors8 nah

[MIT2004]

@pconnors8 fuck miguel

[PyroNonStop]

I used to be just like Frank Mir, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[dontbescaredhommie]

@PyroNonStop this meme is quite interesting.

[PyroNonStop]

Is this the guy that got pounded out by Brock?

[pr0n3]

@PyroNonStop

Yes, this is the same guy that submitted Brock.

[PyroNonStop]

@pr0n3 And it's probably also the same guy that lied through his teeth to possibly the whole world about winning his second fight with Brock. Not to mention when he got knocked the fuck out by Shane Carwin :D.

[sycosteve72]

@PyroNonStop yes same guy, but also the one that put chestcock lesnar in a knee bar and made him tap out like a beach!!

[PyroNonStop]

0:34 - 1:17 = Blablablablabla... More devastating win on saturday

[KZ3fps]

To everyone who replied, I was referring to intelligence when it comes to MMA. Where a lot of fighters have their trainers break down an opposing fighters strengths/weaknesses, Mir does it himself. He has been known to study opposing fighters tape almost religiously.

[BadRat32]

Wow Frank Mir may talk some junk from time to time but he really is passionate and really knows what he's talking about! I just gained even MORE respect for him!

[antegradnja]

franks wife jenny is a bombshell

[ponypaul]

i love that shirt at 1:53

[BroMental]

What a Brilliant and humble man

[exxagerator]

YOU SUCK COCK MUUUUR

[antegradnja]

@exxagerator fuck you you fucking asswipe asshole you should get knocked the fuck out

[empemitheos]

@antegradnja Hey! Fuck 2 U Fuckr!

[iirovinetto]

Frank! <3

[ImsoUhoez]

HONEY BUNN EARS

[drankkkkkk]

<3 mir

[packe777]

Frank Mir (vs Junior) would be the first official mma fatality in the cage. Cigano would put him in a casket.

[moirm2]

reminds me of Joe Rogans thought process

[joe27baja]

This is why this guy is will always be my favorite ......all class in winning and all class in defeat.

[philst1979]

good video seems like a pretty decent bloke

[sn1kzZe]

thats all great but he got weak chin nowdays :(

[joe27baja]

@sn1kzZe  to the hardest punches that walk the planet...I guess so

[LivestPhenom]

mir has been my fav hw since i started mma and started watching ufc. his striking has done a complete 180. hes becoming a beast standing up and his jits is one pf the best. get it done mir!!

[Oreillyisthebest]

he is a great HW but i just cant see him beating jds, overeem, or cain....he has to win on the ground if he's gonna win...im not convinced on his striking yet

[omorbois]

This is why Frank Mir is one of the favorite fighter.

[breakdancerQ]

Don't like this douchebag but he was humble here.

[MrCAWS]

Frank Mir seems more humble than before.

[thehazeisgod]

BRING BACK TORRES

[mmayan]

the more I listen to this guy the more respect I have for this guys. So humble, genuine and well spoken. After he retires, he should be a commentator on ESPN or SPIKE TV, or even FOX now.

[Breakneckhydra1]

@mmayan

Spike TV doesn't show new UFC anymore the deals over.

[imtoohungry05]

gotta love Mir, hes all heart.

[MrAlala911]

He is such a cool guy, and has mad jujitsu game for such a big dude! I wish he would do better in the UFC, i really do

[BekaRonaldo9]

Cool Man

[WickedServant]

Good stuff. K-1 Mir for the win.

[d3bool96]

whataaa guy

[Sabotaged858]

Mir is the man.

[RandomCoolStuffHD]

War Mir!

[MCCENTx2]

lol, Torres got cut for TWEETING "If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises". I thought I herd Dana say worse stuff a few years back. Bring him back!

[locc2daBrain420]

Mir should go to the wwe like shamrok did make a shit load of cash

[MegaVAUS]

good luck Mir, it will be a great fight.

[YSKite]

Who gives a shit about Torres... he's pretty happy now wrappin' Burritos at Chipotle.

[heavybones]

@YSKite I know 81 people who do.

[dexterlexter123]

mir tko

[xuijing]

How can you not like Frank Mir?

[julianisdope]

a lot of people say he is a asshole but i disagree he seems like a cool decent person who speaks the truth.

[spaniardmale77]

@julianisdope He has a real passion for martial arts. I think he is commentating too. If he is not, he should be a commentator.

[poolboyinla]

Mir speaks very intelligently...that's why he was a great commentator.

[Compton2952]

frank is going to reck this guy i say both the nogeryguys get whoopt.

[blewidescorpio]

I Like His Point Of View On The Submission

[cesar201153]

asshole

[cesar201153]

Nogueira

[gocubs1815]

Notice how he never once mentions Cheick Kongo.

[KZ3fps]

Frank Mir is probably the most well spoken and intelligent Mixed martial artist in the UFC.

[Anders2989]

@KZ3fps Yeah, I have to agree, and often missunderstood, great guy.

[Desi9]

@KZ3fps id say he is second after Nick Diaz
