But Not Toned...

Does she have a permit for concealed carry?

War Frank Mir!!

I really do want Frank to win this one even though the odds look to definitely be against him.

WAIT

That can’t have been Frank Mir – I hear he’s a cocky jerk (unlike the ever-humble Brock Lensar) and that guy just said that he was an underdog. The REAL Frank Mir would never say that.

Cocky.

I have always liked Frank Mir, but he will always come off as cocky to me no matter what. Lesnar has that same issue as well so maybe they’re just cut out of the same fabric.

Either way both guys are or are becoming good in the MMA world and this fight should be good. I still think this fight only goes 2 or maybe 3 rounds and end with Mir getting a tapout, or Lesnar getting a TKO. If the fight makes it to the cards (somehow) I would guess Lesner wins as well.

What did Mir say or do in that interview that came off as cocky? Just curious what makes you say that about this specific interview.

I think it was when he said that he had been doing MMA longer. No, wait… that was just fact.

Could have been when he talked about having more experience with submissions. No…

I know: it was when he said that his name was Frank Mir. THAT COCKY SON OF A…. :-)

Cocky or Smug

It may be he just comes off as Cocky or maybe the word should have been SMUG. Not sure,maybe it’s just the way he talks, but he always comes off as one or the other in most interviews. Maybe I have just become soiled from his past interviews.

But remember what I said, “I like the guy” he is a good fighter, and he walks the walk and talks the talk. Also I WANT HIM TO WIN at UFC 100, so there is no hate here.

This is the Two Matts all over again – some people hate the “homespun farm boy” bullshit and some people hate the “cocky city guy” bullshit. Or in this case, the Las Vegas/Minnesotta thing.

Personally, I was raised in the Midwest (rural Wisconsin and Michigan) and I can’t stand that crap. So it goes both ways.
