UFC Quick Quote: Frank Mir can 'crush' Antonio Rodrigo 'Minotauro' Nogueira

Mir called team Nog – fighters bunch of losers, after the guy kept yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!

I hope Nogueira beats Mir so he can retire.

It’s like Junior High, all over again.

hahahahahahahahaha…funny shit…what a dreamer

Is it just me or is frank coming off like a jackass on the show.
Nogueira on the other hand im startig to like alot more.

it’s not you. he is definitely coming off like a jackass. i saw somewhere else some extended excerpt of frank talking to kaplan after his loss and frank was SUCH A WINDBAG. then to top it off he started fucking crying at the end. i thought frank was cooler than this, wtf!?

Seriously Mir? listen to youreself. You can barely take a punch nowadays. I think Lesners hit must have turned your brain into moosh!

hmm, Frank Mir isn’t even a top 10 hw in the world he’s 10th at best.. He sucks! everything he does is horrible except for his jiujitsu talk about one dimensonial, and not to mention his gas tank that lasts for max 3 min.. Nogueira is gonna end this fight with brutalities, flying knee round 1!

saying something like that against Nog is wrong man- shows that realistically deep down he’s scared of Nog- Nog has been in real wars i.e. Fedor and cro cop.. and he took fedor to Desion and arm bared cro cop.. can’t hate a guy like especially how nice and humble he is to his team and to the others on teh show.. man i hope randy wins so i can see nog vs randy !!! been saying it for some time now!!! dana make it happen

yea frank mir comes across as very disrespectful and full of arrogance, i use to be a Mir fan because of his fighting abilities, but im hoping Nog smacks his teeth down his throat and then chokes him out, then Mir will have a cry. Nog is a really coach and a very humble and respectful person,

SMASH HIS FACE IN NOG!!!

what a douchebag

Big Nog is a true legend of the sport. He’s been in so many great fights and has come out on top more often than not.

What has Mir done in comparison?

Mir relies on his jits… Nogueira is much better at that as well.

The more I see of Mir on TUF, the less I like him. Nogueira on the other hand comes across as a really cool guy. I hope Noguiera finishes Mir in round 1 of their fight.

Mir seems really insecure. I think he is going to get destroyed.

Wow im really not liking Mir at all anymore, if he keeps running his mouth and acting the way he is i hope he gets cut from the UFC so Fedor Sergei Overeem Barnett Aleks Crocop can bend him over and over and over and over and over and over!!!

is mir out of his fucking mind? he thinks he is a better athlete than nogueira? mir always talks about how much he hates cardio and looks for other ways to work around it. the dude sports a serious gut at all times (see above picture) and moves like molasses. what was he smoking?

yep agree with all that has been said – Big Nogs stocks are rising. Mir is coming across as conceited

mir is a cheesedick. that a$$hole is gonna get pounded by nogeira. he deserves what he’s gonna get. and more. i just cant believe how arrogant, and ignorant he is…what a great coach sayin nog’s team is a bunch of losers. F*CK mir. aside from that…..how funny was it to watch drunk dude get ktfo!!!

lol, wow.. Mir was so bitter last night. Calm down, dude. It was a friendly competition for the show. It was SOCCER!!

I guess he really needed that 10k.

hey chef. one word….. hellbows.

Its all for show man. Mir does not think he is more athletic then nOG. Hey, Nog seriously looks like he is 60 years old. Also he looks fat and not cut at all.

I’m a huge Mir fan. But one thing I’ve taken away from this season of TUF is now cool of a person Big Nog is. He has nothing but good things to say about everyone. Literally. He is such a gracious guy, always a good word, always supportive.

Have any of you ever thought that they edit the show to make a certain person look a particualar way.geeeez.And i hope Nog is looking past Mir.Remember NO one….NO ONE!!! took Franks belt, he was in a bike wreck.but we will see what happens on Saturday. My money is on Frank

it doesnt matter if they do try to make mir look like an asshole, its the words coming out of his mouth that make mir an asshole. the fact that mir said “they’re all losers, they’ll never amount to anything” is what makes me really dislike him. he’s supposed to be a role model to these guys. if i was on his team i’d be pretty dissapointed that my coach’s outlook was like that. and i personally think that bader is gonna win for the 205ers. mir would eat his words if that happened.

I’m not a fan of both fighters. Both always take a beating of their lives until they pull out submission. I gotta respect Nog’s iron chin though.

frank mir is gonna win i think because nogueira will be so fooled by frank not gassing during his walkout to the cage.. mir needs to cut some of the fat off him with some good ole fashion workouts.. he was 10lbs lighter then lesnar at there weigh ins yet looked like he was a truck driver posing down with a body builder

I have always thought that Mir was overated. Like Lutter was lucky to get his title shot so is Mir. Neither of them deserved it. Nog is ten time the fighter Mir is and should easily beat him but I must say that Tim Sylvia was absolutley destroying Nog in the stand up, and if he wasn’t so keen to just get a descision win like he normally does and grew some balls and actually tried to finish that fight, I could have seen Sylvia winning. Imagine if he had to face Kongo who is ten time the striker Sylvia is, he would have been kissing he canvas. I am hoping that Nog gives Mir a serious beat down.

Is anyone surprised that the guy who grew up playing soccer and in a country where soccer (football) is the number one sport beat a guy from the US, where soccer is an afterthought sport? If it had been throw a football, maybe Mir could have had the edge.

GSP vs BJ and they have to shoot a puck in a net, goin’ with GSP. They have to surf, goin’ with BJ.

I agree, when the show began I was rooting for MIr to win this fight… NOT ANYMORE!!

I like Nogueira he’s a class act. If Randy wins we could have the 2 most respected and honorable fighters in mma going for 5 rounds.
UFC 100 champion vs champion
Couture vs Nogueira
Gsp vs Penn
Silva vs LHW champ {guessing it’s not Forrest}

yup, mir has lost a lot of respect from me since the show began…at first i thought it was just a tough guy act, but i really think he is really that much of a dousche…honestly, when they fight i could care less who wins because that division has very little talent in my opinion, but it definately wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he lost…doesn’t matter anyway if couture wins this weekend though, he will dominate either of the two no doubt in my mind!!!

Poor Mir looks like the motorcycle accident was worse than I thought he couldn’t even beat him at soccer I hope Big Nog doesn’t beat him to badly

not gonna happen 4 mir im afraid

mir forgot to mention that he beats nog in being a fatass too. mir better bring it with all the trash he’s talking.

Frank Mir first thinks it’s ok that his team is playing immature pranks and basically blows Nog off and then makes excuses for losing at soccor. Frank Mir is going to get crushed. He does not have better stand-up then Nog or better submissions, he’s just bigger. I really hope Nog snaps Mir’s arm this time.

Nog has NEVER played soccer in his life. but mirs team still used that as their excuse. Just because of the fact hes brazilian. And franks little temper was great, obviously the greater athlete will domonate in a foreign sport which both didnt know how to play. I got no respect for frank mir. ur a joke. i hope you lose. like you should have lost to lesner, but barely found a way after getting destroyed in a panic to latch on to an ankle to pull off a win for dear life.

im not surprised att all about what mir said,its just what frank mir really is,hes been cocky since the beginning..watch his debut in the ufc when he submitted tank abbot,right after the announcement he started running around yelling “whats my name!!! bla bla bla..who am i motherfu*#er!!”.and brags about he didnt even get little scratch on his face..my react was,wow this newbie is one cocky SOB,also tank was sumthing at the time.i like mir but im kinda pulling for “nogueira couture 2009”

add me to the list of guys that were rooting for Mir when the show started….but not anymore. Definitely rooting for Big Nog when, or maybe i should say “if” the fight happens. With what i’ve seen from Mir this season, it wouldn’t surprise me if he pulls out with some horseshit injury at the last second. He came off looking like a whiny douche-bag on last night’s episode. What a tool. On another subject, earlier in this thread, i saw mention of who the best TUF coaches have been. I agree that Tito is at the top, but I think Serra is right there with him. Everyone might not like Serra, but he does a helluva job as a coach. I’d have to but Mir and Hughes at the bottom of the list…..

nog will handle mir and mir will complain that something was wrong or create some sort of controversy in hopes of creating a rematch. nog is a completely other level of bjj and personality.

Just like he kick brandon vera’s arse.

FRANK MIR IS A TOOL.. GET A HAIR CUT BUDDY.. NOG WINS BY TKO

One thing that is obvious is Mir does not have a black belt in class

I think you all on this thread have it wrong about Mir. He is a fighter, and UFC circus clown producers treat the fighters on that show like reality show dorks. I think Mir was thinking, “why are we playing with balls like kids for peets sake, were heavy weight ultimate fighters at the top of the game”. I think it is very disrespectful to treat professional fighters that way. These guys are the top of the top, heavyweight fighters in the cage. Mir has some serious skills, and he is a big guy. Is he perfect? Hell no, but he gets paid to beat people up – what do you guys expect.

As for Nog, the guy must have an IQ below 80. I think he has a lot more heart than Mir, and I think his thick head make him nearly impossible to knockout. But the Mir/Nog fight will be on the ground. On the ground Mir’s sharper mind will beat Nogs – the the result will be Mir out positioning him.

People like to forget the hard times that came Mir’s way with his accident, and they attribute the time in his career when he was recovering with being typical of his performance. The truth is he is one of the smartest heavyweights in the UFC. Is he full of himself? Yes he is. But; he was raised in the art of fighting and he has learned more than most. He brings a lot of knowledge with him, and it shows. Everyone loves to forget his victory over Lesnar – but he achieved that victory with that big head of his.

I like MMA because of the characters that the fighters are, and Mir is a character.

Lot of personal dislike for Mir here, thats fine. As far as the fight – Neither man can knock the other out. Possibly Nog will TKO Mir. More likely, with their comparable BJJ skills, this one will go the full 5. Mir will gas and lose a unam decision. Nog by UNAM.
