Frank Mir is at it again

Add Frank Mir to the growing list of fighters who think that Brock Lesnar's actions at UFC 100 were embarrassing to the sport. He was also not impressed by Lesnar's apology after being scolded by UFC President Dana White.

"That's like: You steal a guy's bike, your dad kicks your ass, and then you apologize only because your dad kicked your ass," Mir told Doug Elfman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "How genuine is that? I don't buy it."

Mir noted that it took him a few seconds to realize that Lesnar was yelling in Mir's face after the fight. Lesnar proceeded to flip off the crowd and urge the crowd to keep booing him, while berating Mir and Bud Light, the UFC's biggest sponsor.

“Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass," Lesnar stated after the fight. "I told him that a year ago. I pulled it out of him and beat him over the head with it.

"[Now] I’m going to drink a Coors Light. That’s right a Coors. Bud Light don’t pay me nothing. I want to say 'Hi' to my family and friends and, hell, I may even get on top of my wife tonight.â€￾

Mir went into a room and saw the tirade later, saying "ESPN showed him spitting and hollering. My children are looking. I'm shaking my head, pointing at my kids and going, 'That's not how you want to do it, guys.'"

Mir noted that it's normal for fighters to be cocky before a fight, but it should end after the final bell.

"We'll be cocky, especially before a fight, to help sell it," Mir noted. "If you ever heard any speeches (Bruce Lee) gave, he was a smart ass (before a fight). But at the end of a competition, he would be respectful."

Mir reminded Elfman of how he treated Lesnar after he submitted the current heavyweight champion at UFC 81: Breaking Point in February of 2008.

"I didn't degrade him and say he was an idiot," Mir said. "There was no point to kick the guy while he was down.

"OK, I beat the guy. What, am I going to spit on you, too?"

As for what wrong in their most recent bout, Mir admitted to be surprised by Lesnar's attack.

"When he didn't come after me, that really threw me off," Mir noted. "I didn't expect him to run. He ran like a lightweight . . . It's my fault. I should have trained that he would be intimidated from the standup."

Mir wants a rubber match with Lesnar and hopes that putting on more weight will change the outcome next time.

"If I can just nail that gap to even 10 pounds, it'll be a different fight next time," Mir stated.

Mir finished by saying that he hopes his next victory will teach Lesnar a lesson in humility saying, "Hopefully next time, I'll show him how somebody is supposed to act in victory."

lol, is it me or this guy hasn't shut up since getting beat by Lesnar?

 

[Wordlife]

He's just jealous he was beaten by the better fighter. He need's to shut up, cause he has taken it too far, and should just get over it already!

As I've said in the COUNTLESS UFC discussion threads before hand, Frank Mir didn't even win the first fight, he took advantage of a rookie mistake with illegal rolling in the first place. Lesnar was beating his ass his the first fight, he beat his ass in the second fight, and he will beat his ass in the third fight. I love me a good rubber match, but this is not a good rubber match. This is no Couture Vs. Liddell. This is no GSP Vs. Matt Hughes. This is just one guy, dominating the entire exchange, while the other guy acting like a fucking yorkshire terrier and enver shutting the hell up.

^cannot agree anymore.... well said my friend

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Am I the only one that thinks that this all is a charade to keep building Brock Lesnar as the ultimate bad boy?

 

[xtremebadass]

^^^It's a possibility because no one bitches this MUCH

What? I'm new to all this UFC - what made his 'roll' last time illegal? I didn't even know there was such a thing...

I don't see the big deal in this. Why isn't anyone, or why hasn't anyone had a go at Lesnar after his 'apology'? I was thinking the exact same thing when I watched Lesnar's post-fight press conference. Sure, he got emotional and what not after the fight, but if Dana didn't talk to him - he wouldn't have apologised. So really, Frank has every right to comment on that.

As for the 'post fight cherades' he was talking about, that's also pretty fair. Not many people, none the I've seen yet, act that way after a fight. I was shocked, though not complaining about, how he acted after the fight.

As for the rest, meh. I can't see how some people can view this from Mir and not jump on the Lesnar wagon and criticise it. I won't say Mir was unlucky in the match, I'll agree in saying that he was flattened (and would be in a third) but he's not really bitching.

Plus, like CMS pointed out, this will help in building the rubber match WHEN it finally gets here. It'll come, we all know it will.

^It was illegal, tactical rolling. While a guy isn't supposed to pound the back of your head in UFC, you're also not supposed to roll without covering the back of your head to expose the back of your head to his already swung punches. UFC even commented saying that Mir had illegally rolled and Lesnar shouldn't have been warned or deducted a point, but that Mir in turn, should have been deducted a point for it. And the match should have resumed with both men on their feet. Poor officiating, and "cheating" by Mir, cost Lesnar the match.

I'm sure I didn't explain the rule as well as you'd like, but I can't be fucked to go search for it. But you're not supposed to roll the way Mir did to take shots to the back of the head. I wish I could give you a metaphor you'd understand, but all I can think of is American football... and you're Australian, so I won't bother.

 

[Kaptain KnicKy]

Thanks anyway man. I'll check out the match again to better understand it.

Edit - So I just watched the match again, and understand what you mean. One thing though...
1) The match was taken back to their feet and resumed from there.

Question: what were 'Lesnar's actions' that were so despicable? Didn't watch, just interested to see why Frank is whinging so much

 

[Great One]

He's such a bitch. Hope Lesnar beats his ass again. All the smurf did was shit talk constantly, he deserved it all.

 

[Wrestling Station]

Mir noticed that Lesnar is on heat right now and most of the talks and stuff in the UFC right now is about Lesnar; so he wants to keep his name (Mir) in the same sentence with Lesnar! Mir = Attention Whore

 

[xtremebadass]

WS nailed it, Mir is a total attention whore. However, it's hard not to blame him, most fighters in the UFC don't get enough recognition. Lesnar comes in and gets more attention than most of the entire roster of fighters. So if you are associated with Lesnar I would make the most of the situation as well, but unlike Frank Mir, I wouldn't look like such a bitch doing it.

Rubber match!

 

[Klide]

As much as i like mir dude got his @$$ handed to Lensnar... but if they were to go at it again same result as UFC 100 like wat lesnar said he gave him that match. and like what wordlife326 said hes just jealous. He cant start talking smack again once he redeems himself but as of now he needs to shut up
