Mir is still awesome. Oh and he looks like such a jerk in this vid. Not really but someone will try and work that in here I'm sure.

Frank could be helping disabled kids and people would call him a pedophile.

People always seem to confuse honesty for arrogance, when Mir is asked a question he'll give u a real answer and people call him ****y for that instead of praising him for some reason.

The problem is that his "real answers" are things like "I want to break his neck in the octagon, I want him to be the first death in the UFC". Only a complete degenerate would defend some of the things he says. IMO.

thats just a warriors mentality, i knew people that would say the similar stuff in other sports. wrestlers talk the same way, sonnen keeps talking about how he will slam silva on his head over and over again. which is spiking,which is illegal because its lethal. he's essentially saying im going to go out there and cheat over and over again. anyone who participates in competative combat sports or has been in the military will tell you what he said is just what everyone else says with the boys.

Good luck showing me one example of another fighter saying something similar. Then you can explain to me why it was a week long headline story hounding Francis, but nobody else is ever called on this stuff?
Sonnen has never said anything similar.

He doesn't talk so much, he just knows what hes talking about! don't criticize someone because they like to express there knowledge. i agree 100% with the first post. someone's just gonna try to throw in "hes a jerk" anywhere, anyhow when it comes to mir....but hes talking trying to be, hes expressing his knowledge and theres nothing wrong with that.
If that was the case then every single person with a PHD degree is a "jerk" no there not....they just no there sh*t, and just because you don't or wouldn't stand out in the ground, it dosent mean everyone has to be like you.
This is Mir, and i like him for being straight up, its a strong trait in a human being.

i wasnt saying mir is a jerk im a massive mir fan allways have been. just 1 e.g. of what i was talking about is before the carwin fight he started yapping about how good carwin was and how he is a better version of brock which he drove into his own head. he psyched himself out and lost the fight which imo he could have easily won...

Thinking outside the box means he will have to stop thinking about Lesnar for more than 5 minutes at a time, and I'm not sure he can do it.

My problem with Mir is that he's thin skinned. Dare to question Nog's health during their fight and he attacks you for "not being a warrior" or some such juvenile bullsh*t. He over reacts and is a bit melodramatic. I'd say he needs an ass whopin but he's got that covered as of late.

Frank Mir "Outside the box" should have been about when he had that "out of body" experience when he was KTFO by Carwin.

Mir is cool plus hes very dangerous on the ground and his boxing seemed beter than carwins tbh he had him going backwards, but his clinch was terrible on the day. i recon hes a good guy he jsut got mentaly snapped by lesnar. could happen to anyone, if u loose a fight to someone cuz there more technical or skilled its one thing, to loose becasue the guy is just bigger and stomps u is a hard thing to deal with
