Frank Mir: Brock Lesnar is like a Clydesdale (Video)

Sound not working for anyone else?

i saw this yesterday and frank is well “quite frank” about his thoughts. it will be interesting ro see how his story plays out with everything that has happened to him.

You do you think the next coaches will be? Mir and Nog? I’d like to see Mir as a coach, I think he’d be great at it, seems like a very bright guy and very well spoken. He’s a good communicator and that is crucial as a good coach, ala Randy Couture.

I wish Frank well, but he was getting destroyed by Lesner. It was Lesner’s inexperience that lost him that fight. If they fought again I would still put my money on Lesner. I am not a Lesner fan before anybody says anything, that is just the way that I saw it. I will be more convinced when he fights a more credible experienced fighter.

If they put nog as a coach i am gonna boycott. STOP HAVING CHAMPS AS COACHES!!!! I hate how they are slowing down the whole championship fights situation. Dana is losing a lot of fans. Myself included. And did anyone watch the fights on TUF lastnight. Anyone of those guys would get murdered by a Leben or even “Tupperware” McCarthy for that matter. What a talentless group of retards they got this year. Dana you need to wise up and realize that no one wants to see a champ defend his belt once a year. This is ridiculous.

I don’t know how anybody could dislike Mir. He’s bright, articulate and knowledgeable. I still say he’s the best color commentator out there, better than Bas, better than Rogan and even better than Bill Goldberg. As far as Lesnar goes, he’s going to crush Coleman in less than 2 minutes, then move on to more relevant fighters and start working his way up.

“Even better than Bill Goldberg” LMAO – No $h!T, he is terrible. Bas is the most entertaining of the color commentators, and Randy was the most knowledgable – guy alway predicted the winner.

All that aside – would love to see Mir fight AA for # 1 contender, but doesn’t look that will happen. I, like most people, will be pissed if Nog & Mir are the next coaches. That would make a year before Nog defends again. Not a good idea, especially when the UFC needs to bolster the HW division, not put it on the backburner. Note to Dana – SIGN BIG NAME HEAVYWEIGHTS – dont waste a year showing us crappy fighters on TUF.

Mir gave it away just by his response.

I like Mir he’s very well spoken! a true gent!

This sucks…Nog a coach, is great for exposure but terrible because it holds up the title. At least have him defend the title once before putting it on hold.

Mir is great. “He’s(Brock) just a big massive guy, it’s hard to explain till you’ve seen him in person. And I got to grapple with him and get punched by him so that was great.”
Lol!
I wish Mir was my dad.

As far as commentators go my favorite team ever was Bas and Quadros hands down. It kind of perturbed me to hear Frank say there wasn’t any other heavies besides Fedor who weren’t in the UFC. WTF is he sparking?? How about Randy, Josh Barnett, Aleks? Even Mark Hunt is waaaay further along in his progression than Brock. I’m sorry Frank is a likeable guy but hasn’t had a quality win in four years, no, submitting Hardonk and a green Lesnar don’t count. The losses to Pe de Pano and Vera were embarassing. If he gets a title shot it would prove how weak this division has become with the loss of Timmy and possibly Andrei.

man I can’t wait to see MIR vs. NOG for the belt. I really hope the UFC doesn’t make Nog a coach. I wanna see this fight ASAP.there is nobody else that deserves a shot at big Nog right now.

i hope mir coaches on tuf 8, i dunno who will coach opposite to him maybe noguiera or… arlofski !!! how sick would that be?, but mir is a well spoken knowledgable dude. At the same time, I hope lesnar gets a rematch with him. Their fight was a lot closer than people give lesnar credit for and i think a rematch is more than marketable.

everybody’s out there talking smack about WWE fake athletes making a transition to mma and getting crushed. Mir said it himself that lesnar was a lot stronger than he thought and he was winning the stand up. Mir used his bjj and got the leg lock. lesnar is still new to the sport, and once he gets more experience he’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the hw division.

Since when does beating a fighter with one pro fight instantly catipult someone into title contention? It would be an absolute travesty if Mir gets the title shot. He lost to Brandon Vera not to long ago. And if Vera wins and doesn’t get the shot it would be criminal. If Werdum beats Vera then Arlovski should get the shot. If Werdum wins and the UFC doesn’t sign Arlovski (worst case senario) Werdum should probibly get the shot or maby Heath Herring could be in that mix. At any rate I don’t even see Mir as a title possibility at this point. Sorry Frank, you will probibly need one more win over a contender before you get a shot at the title.

“You can get cut.. retarded.”

High quality. I’m a fan of Frank. He’ll get his title shot, and I think he’ll win it too.

If Brock works on his stand up, then he will be a pretty solid fighter. He is extremely hard to take down due to his wrestling background and has a reach as long as tim sylvias. He still needs to work on his submission defense though.

how about after the coleman fight they have ufc 90: battle of the beasts (lesnar vs kongo) that match up would be dynamite!

Mir will win his next fight and so will Brock. Nog will fight probably once before he fights Mir. Brock will be fed non-bjj people to crush and build him up for a rematch with mir. If kimbo comes over he will fight Brock.
The only way to beat someone like Brock is with ju jitsu. It is the only art that a wayyy smaller guy can use to win against an animal.

Mir would make the best HW coach, and it would be nice if the UFC would throw some new HW blood into the TUF series. If Nog is the other coach, he’s going to need a translator to coach his team.
