Frank Mir Wishes To End Brock Lesnar's Career
Posted by Jeffrey Harris on 11.09.2009





In a new article up on the Fighters Only website, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir reveals that the main goal left in his MMA career to achieve before he retires is "to end Brock Lesnar's career." Mir went on to say, "Really, it's what I think about all the time. Brock Lesnar exploited a huge weakness in my game and no matter who I crush after this, I have to crush him to show I've improved that weakness. It's nothing about how he talked to me in my last fight, I could care less about it. If I took it that personal there are other ways to handle situation like that outside of a cage, but honestly I just want to fix what was exploited."

Mir goes on, "If you're a true martial artist you don't do it for money or titles, just to be the best human being possible, and if someone exploits a weakness, who better to see if you've fixed it than the guy who exploited it. Getting the title back, it's a nice novel idea, but even being the heavyweight champ or the interim champ, I got to be honest, I didn't really feel that different walking around… Some people think that with the belt, that you made it. Nah, you didn't make shit. You won a fight, just the fight happened to have more ribbon and bells and whistles on it. Bottom line, [its about] testing yourself!"

Mir is currently set to face Cheick Kongo at UFC 107. Mir's comments are from a six-page interview that will be published in this month's Fighters Only magazine.

Only a guy that doesn't have the belt can say that the belt doesn't mean shit. And yes, Brock did exploit your face. Shame what he did to it

Mir needs to shut his mouth, give it up. He beat you

This was the least jackass-y thing I've heard Mir say in awhile. Good for him, I understand wanting to avenge a loss like that, but I hope he doesn't plan on it happening

the belt means nothing? is that why u were crying uncontrollably when you beat Big Nog(with staph infection)?

lol hes such a tool, i hope Kongo head kicks his head off


Posted By: wylun (Guest)  on November 09, 2009 at 08:43 PM

 
 
I'll bet he was not that way when he was champ.

Mir's mouth is his worst enemy.

Mir just shut the hell up. Do you ever learn?

Spoken like a true pro wrestler...

...wait. What? The "other" guy was a pro wrestler?

That's some funny shit.

man...just last month I saw an interview w/ Mir that made me start to somewhat respect him and then this. While I agree w/ being the best and wanting to correct an exploited weakness, to say he wants to end somebody's career? That's a bit much. I mean, not that he'll be able to do it but still. Bitter much?

Wow this guy really must have a death wish, I think he is just gonna keep calling lesnar out till finally brock murders him in the cage. Frank think of your family... fucking idiot, you should be thanking brock lesnar for making you relavant in mma at all.

I must have seen a different fight because I didn't see Brock exploiting anything.
Brock was simply better in all aspects of the fight... and his wrestling (coupled with his insane size and strength) was easily able to handle and control Mir and his black belt.

Outside of training to become an olympic level wrestler, I don't see what Mir could do differently if they were to meet again.


If anything, Mir exploited Lesnar in their first meeting, and Lesnar learned his lesson to take his time and not rush into anything- making rookie mistakes along the way.

Mir shut the hell up, You lost, get over it. f your going to go out then go out in style, not a crying biznatch.

As a Mir fan, I don't care about him ending Cock's career...I would love nothing more than for someone to end Brock's life...asshole!

Frank Mir has this thing where he's got a glaring weakness against superior fighters.

Posted By: Ange (Guest)  on November 09, 2009 at 09:28 PM

 
 
i think there is only one way to solve this... LESNAR SMASH!!!!

Him and what army?

hes gonna have to correct the holes kongo exploits first

Posted By: kingkongstudley (Guest)  on November 09, 2009 at 10:19 PM

 
 
Dana, keep him away from Brock. Brock WILL kill this guy if he keeps talking.

Posted By: JA Toro (Guest)  on November 09, 2009 at 10:23 PM

 
 
Yeah good luck with that buddy. I'd be a lot more worried about getting kicked in the dick by Kongo if I were him.

Um, Mir DOES know MMA is fake, right?

How about this Mir...

I wish Brock Lesnar to end your fucking life!

Seriously...


Posted By: Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Guest)  on November 09, 2009 at 10:38 PM

 
 
Haha. Exploit a huge weakness?

He literally pounded you for a round and a half. and you call that a huge weakness? I call that total failure.

Mir really wants to die doesn't he? That's why I hate this fucking prick; he doesn't know when to shut up.

No, just a lot of posters who saw the fight and watched Brock out skill Mir in every avenue of the fight.

...yes, SKILL.

Mir is a legitimate black belt in BJJ, yet after taking him down, Brock was (easily) able to control both of Frank's arms, his head, and body- while keeping one of his own arms free to rain anvils down on Mir's face.

That wasn't something Brock exploited, or based simply because he's a bigger guy... Brock simply out skilled Frank in that fight.


Hell, the size/ strength advantage shouldn't be a factor anyway since before their fight, Mir repeatedly said in interviews how he was the stronger of the two and could easily dead-lift more then Brock.


Posted By: cyks (Guest)  on November 10, 2009 at 04:07 AM

 
 
Smart comments, actually- Dana apparently schedules Brock against the guy who talks the most smack. Come to think of it, maybe not so smart...

franks a queer. i hope cheick kongo fucks him up.

Posted By: dirk (Guest)  on November 10, 2009 at 09:11 AM

 
 
Mir had better be careful he doesn't get exploited by Kongo his next fight. Kongo's terrible on the ground but one of the top HW strikers out there. The more that fight stays on the feet, the more likely it is Kongo beats Mir.

Posted By: NDN (Guest)  on November 10, 2009 at 10:45 AM

 
 
Mir is a total douchebag and hypocrite. He talked SO much trash after he got a lucky win in the first Lesnar fight (he was getting killed before the weak stand-up), then cried like a baby when Lesnar talked trash after DOMINTAING the second fight. And now he's back to the trash talk. Somebody should buy this bitch some cheese to go with his whine.

Maybe you should worry about the guy in front of you instead of the one who already schooled you Frank.

Posted By: Roembowski (Guest)  on November 10, 2009 at 12:34 PM

 
 
You know what they say, Frank; want in one hand and shit in the other...

Posted By: G-Walla (Guest)  on November 10, 2009 at 01:15 PM

 
 
Frank "The Natural" Mir!!!!!!!!! And thats all brock has on mir is wrestling. Standing Frank owned brock. So yeah he exploiting franks lack of wrestling.....

Posted By: Guest#7482 (Guest)  on November 11, 2009 at 03:13 AM

 
 
So Mir is going to fix the weakness in his game "letting his head be used as a punching bag" and will beat Brock next time?

Actually this is smart of Mir. They are 1-1 and there for a rematch is probably inevitable. Mir might as well try and hype it since it will be a big pay day for him. I think we all know though that Brock had him in the first fight and then what ever weakness Brock had in the first fight the learning curve between fight one and fight two was amazing. Mir's chances in a rematch are slim.

wow spoken like a true wwe fan
your an idiot stop putting your foot in your mouth, mirs badass getting past his prime great bjj guy not the best wrestling but brock really does not have any skill at all yeah wrestling but that doesnt count
brocks so damn big that once he gets on top of you thats pretty much it hes too big to get off you thats why his only loss to mir was by getting caught and mir for some reason thinks he as good and in some traits he is but overall he will not win brocks a beast and will not win unless by getting caught with a submission or a lucky punch (which is the same for everyone)


Posted By: Guest#1437 (Guest)  on November 11, 2009 at 12:43 PM

 
 
i would like to see a rematch. the two brocks frank saw were vastly different in each fight. it would be interesting to see how he would change his approach. Its true brock is a physical specimen, but if frank got a hold of one limb, it sounds like he's just going to take it off...

Posted By: thedude (Guest)  on November 11, 2009 at 10:15 PM

 
 
Seriously, forget ending Brock's career, shouldn't Frank be worrying about his own career? Given his previous KOs by Vera, Freeman, Cruz, and Lesnar, I think Kongo can completely knock Mir out with a knee to the face from a thai clinch. If he loses to Kongo his career is over. After the Kongo loss only things waiting for him are: a) Strikeforce + Beatdown by Fedor and b) Beatdown by Dos Santos or a lesser known fighter.

Dude there goes Mir again. "I am a martial artist who makes no money and gets knocked out by everyone but beat Nog and Lesnar and better than Fedor...bla bla."

best wishes to Brock

i wouldnt make that fight because it would be 2 hits. Brocks fist to Mir's mug, and that melon of Mir's bouncing off the mat. It could be billed as the main event death match lol.... played out in the final minute of airtime to hold everyone glued to the tv !
