“I mean, getting that third fight with Brock is THE most important thing in my life right now, with these guys a close second. Are my priorities screwed up? Maybe. Do I care? No. Is Miguel Torres the greatest of all time? Without a doubt.”

Sorry, don't care

Mir’s a heel, I don’t care whether his family loves him or he loves them back.

Mir

I agree, Mir is trying to soften his image a lil. He does a good job being a heel. He might actually get booed more then Lesnar if they fight again.

I think thats the whole point. Brock and Mir III come full circle. Mir now the villain Brock the Hero. The first fight it was Pro mir second fight 50/50 this fight pro Lesnar.

"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar

don’t think the second fight was 50/50, the crowd was behind mir 100%, and as long as they fight in vegas, i’d imagine the crowd will support mir..

I really wish they would hold Lesnar v. Mir III at Target Center. The atmosphere would be unbelievable. Like UFC 83 title fight unbelievable.

I think Mir’s actually more of a family man than the video lets on.

A lot of fighters I see, they might be champions in the cage, but they don’t have the balls to marry their child’s mother, even thought they’re still screwing them. I don’t know when it became okay to do this. To me, that doesn’t impress me that they’re a man with honour that deserves respect.

I read that Mir actually went to trouble of formally adopting his wife’s son as his own. That speaks a lot of character for me, stepping up and being a man and taking responsibility for those near you.

That’s one of the reasons I like him more than most of the fighters out there.
