Mir not opposed to going into wrestling

[Slim]

In an interview with The Chronicle Journal, Frank Mir said he wouldn’t be opposed to going into wrestling. This led to some speculation that he could go to WWE to face Brock Lesnar. The two have split two fights in the UFC. UFC President Dana White would not likely agree to this as long as Mir is under contract to the UFC.

Ummm what? This has to be a joke. This can't be legit. But it would be kinda funny. But could he really adapt... IF he were to try it? I just can't see it.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I can't see it honestly, i assume he's talking about once he's retired or something as there's no chance in hell of this happening while under contract to UFC. Anything could happen i guess though, but idk not likely at all.

Don't think people would want to see a MMA rubber match via WWE. The idea of that would just be silly. Brock going back to WWE seems to have really opened up a flood gate that I'm sure Dana is hating right now.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Basically, now if they did a third fight in the UFC that'd be pretty big.

 

[Slim]

I dunno how many folks would want to see a third fight in UFC considering how dominated Frank was in their second fight.

But yeah... it would def have to be after Frank retires as there would be 0 chance Dana would allow that to happen while he is under contract. Besides Frank is still a top contender.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah, he's still very talented also. It's not like we're talking about Tito Ortiz or something.

I think Mir is pretty good on the mic and what not, but he would hurt somebody bad in a wrestling ring.

He's way too smart to end up in knucklehead wrestling.

What use would the WWE have for a fat, gypsy looking heavyweight anyway? It's not like he's an intimidating looking jacked monster or a unique personality.

I think he knows he'll always be considered a top guy in MMA whereas wrestling is fickle and cutthroat and he'd likely be without a job within months.

I don't know why so many MMA fighters all of a sudden want to try WWE. Yes Lesnar is back there but he had wrestled for the company for many years before he moved to MMA. These guys would have to learn it all, not like they can all of a sudden pull their punches and make it look real.
