I think what Mir did was okay.
He put some space between him and Nog and let the medical professionals work on the guy. There’s nothing worse than a guy who is down and gets no room to get his bearings together and breathe easy. He kept it simple and classy, and congratulated his fallen opponent afterwards.

Couldn’t of said it better. Frank Mir has always been classy.
Just Breed!

It's like saying you dislike Don Frye's mustache, which itself is the equivalent of spitting on the Constitution. - Anthony Pace
Sure. I was actually quoting him, though.
Why would I correct his grammar for him, too!?

I've always thought Mir was one of the classier, just al around nicer guys in the UFC.

i think of matt hammil when he head kicked mark munoz and was overly overly
excited about it and mark was clearly in a bad way
They're coming to get you Barbara
Well kinda of duh, all UFC/MMA fighters are “dangerous” that’s kind of the point.
I’m completely ok with Mir’s submission. Look at his from his side, he was getting beat BADLY, very close to getting KO’d. An opportunity fell into his lap and he took it and grab on for dear life knowing that if he didn’t finish the technique he was probably going to get crushed by more ground and pound.
Not enough credit given
The kimura didn’t “fall into his lap” at all. How Mir grabbed the hold with Nogueria attempting to take his back, then sliding into side control – against a guy absolutely nobody thought he had a chance on the ground against AND after doing the chicken dance moments earlier – was nothing short of masterful.

definitely
to tap somebody that quickly after grappling started is amazing, to do it while probably still dizzy from punches even more so, and to do it against Nog, is an unbelievable feat and probably one of the key moments Mir will look back on in his career.
Frank is my guy, always has been, but....
He doesnt like to block shots, his head movement is easier to time than the clock on my microwave. Blocking shots with your face is a MAJOR issue that will continually get him pulverized by guys he doesn’t outweigh by 40lbs.

Somebody said it really well after his fight with Carwin
Mir always seems like he thinks he’s too cool to defend.
Great on the offense, but doesn’t seem to have good spidey-sense to know when he’s about to get himself into trouble.

I think in some ways Nog almost wanted Mir to break his arm. He knows enough about BJJ to know what was going to happen over the next few seconds and he could have easily tapped.
It's just a world, it's just a life.
he did tap
just after the arm broke… what an idiot
