Honestly, I only tuned into UFC because I heard Brock had a fight. I knew nothing about the sport, I just wanted to see this behemoth from WWE have a real fight. Since his first fight with Frank, I could count on one hand how many UFC events I’ve missed. Ive went back and watched the older stuff as well as Pride. Brock got me addicted MMA so love him or hate him, he brought a lot of eyes to the sport. Some remained casuals and some became serious fans.

i also feel the same way; i was a big brock lesnar fan. i found he was leaving and i was sad and found out he was training to be in the ufc and i was like whats this business? i know my family were into ufc and not into wrestling but it was the first time i started watching it intensely was when brock came in to ufc. .

@Dejusticed Год назад

I just don't believe most the mma community craps on pro wrestling. I think many a fan watched it growing up and loved it. What I do think happens is, many wrestling fans come over and legit used to talk like they were real fighters. I mean, many really didn't know how fake back in the day wrestling was. I mean these guys legit had a boxing tournament and it was god awful. As both sports have evolved I think there are far many people with your opinion who watch the sports. Wrestling certainly takes a toll on the body and requires some serious skills. We also know that these guys would get demolished in a real fight and people no longer even debate that wrestlers could beat up mma fighters.

Yeah, Mir is kinda understating how unhinged he was for a while concerning Brock. Mir actually got to the point about talking about wanting to kill Brock, and the UFC had to step in and threaten to fire the guy if he didn't start watching what he was saying. That being said, Mir was never in a position to be fighting Brock again before Brock retired. After Brock lost the title, he only had the one more number 1 contender fight before he retired. If he had won that fight, Brock would have only had taken the one more title fight regardless of whether he won or lost. He was not in great health back then.

@graefx Год назад

Mir vs Lesnar 1 was right in the middle of my heyday watching UFC. I was part of that ultimate fighter, Spike TV generation. I had fallen out of it by UFC100 but I damn well tuned in. Maybe one of my favorite fights. The rubber match could have been cool but I'm happy with what we got and thinking 'what if' is usually more fun. Mir has always been such an affable personality. He reminds of a hockey goalie. Weirdly chill for someone comfortable with being hit in the face a lot.

@@rahamanawelenje9955 ??? Movies are not "authentic". The only difference between a movie and professional wrestling is that a movie has scenes and extensive editing to hide mistakes. Wrestling shows are live, which is why mistakes happen, and also why the people doing them must be professionals. No average joe could perform those moves without a much higher risk of injury. Both movies and wrestling require suspension of disbelief to be enjoyable. When you're watching an action film, you don't question why the main character has a seemingly infinite supply of ammo, or how his enemies all shoot like Stormtroopers. It's the same thing in wrestling, so saying you can't enjoy wrestling because it's fake, while enjoying movies for being fake makes you a hypocrite.

Lesnar v Mir 3 would never happen because although the score is 1-1 realistically Frank would get slaughtered. The first time Frank would have lost had it no been for the ref standing them up giving Frank a huge break allowing him to win. The second fight was so one-sided you can't get a third fight. Frank is a good fighter, but he could not counter the new style heavyweight.

You sound dumb first of all he's retired so your whole comment is irrelevant and Frank did pretty good for coming off a career ending motorcycle injury early on in his career when he won the title and if you were really smart you would know that other divisions yes but the heavyweight division has not really gotten that much better as far as skill besides ciril gagne and that's recent

That was when Frank Mir was doing the commentary for WEC. I really enjoyed listening to his commentary. He seemed like such an intelligent, well-spoken student of the game to me. He was, to me, about like what John Madden is to football. If you were someone who didn't know shit about MMA, you could learn a lot from listening to Frank Mir.

Frank was a great heavyweight champ and an awesome fighter - striking and grappling. When a champion turns down the opportunity for a rubber match, especially against someone who made it look a bit easy in the first fight, something smells a little fishy.
