He probably shot it, skinned it, then ate it.

Wow. Reply fail. For some reason I thought you wrote Brock instead of Mir. No more drinking while at work.

Don’t be angry, we just spared you from having to read literature!

Beer, and Vera/Jones. That’s a much better use of your time.

Yeah

only problem is when I drink I blackout, then my family goes to live somewhere else temporarily.

Just asking, but when the court tells you to go to AA that shits not mandatory right?

Yep, mandatory.

Did Mir say he would rather watch Fedor than Lesnar? He’ll be getting a call from Dana about that!

Lesnar is much funnier in post fight interviews than Fedor …Mur is just jealous of Lesnar’s sophisticated upper class humor

by JoelMan on Mar 17, 2010 7:34 AM EDT up reply actions

i'm actually starting to like murr. he has a great attitude.

never thought that’d ever happen.

Go big red!

I don’t get how people hate this guy…

by zakkree on Mar 16, 2010 9:27 PM EDT reply actions

well i can tell you why i used to dislike him

trashtalk/bold behaviour, but not with the happy-go-lucky kind of attitude he puts on now. rather with a douchebag kind of style that’d upset the shit out of me.

Go big red!

by pornflake on Mar 16, 2010 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions

agreed

plus the way he acted in the ultimate fighter, i dont like the guy but it is good to hate certain fighters IMO.

by #1 piggy on Mar 16, 2010 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions

same, that was a good interview though even though I dislike the guy

Now? I’ve seen this Frank Mir in tons of interviews, do you have the memory of a goldfish?

I think we should write GMI for Good Mir Interview on the occasion that Mir doesn’t sound like a complete douche.

You missed one thing. Watch it one more time!

Frank Mir comments on Tito Ortiz at the 2 min mark, Fedor Emelianenko at the 3:50 min mark, TRIES TO SWALLOW THE THOUGHT OF LESNAR SMASHING HIM at the 4:43 min mark, Shane Carwin at the 5 min mark and Brock Lesnar at the 7 min mark.

by T1B1ALH4MM3R on Mar 17, 2010 8:49 AM EDT reply actions

So do we know when this video was shot? Apparently Tito is off of TUF 11 and Franklin is in, that seems to be the story here. Dana shot down the rumors the other day and now we ge this?

I told you not to f*ck with me.
