Frank Mir changed my life. 2 hours with him at a seminar in 2019, he gave me motivation no one else had. On a positive path in life and he's an excellent role model. Long live WAR MIR!

[@crazypato3752]

Tell us more. What did he tell you?

[@chevyblock550]

@crazypato3752 I was very aimless at the time. 18 years old, depressed, overweight, and no idea what i wanted to do with my life. Weak mentally as much physically and Frank could see it in me. Read me like a book better than any therapist I saw. I asked him various things about fighting but also life accomplishments and battles. He drilled it into my head to start training martial arts, whether it be jiu jitsu or anything else to develop my discipline but also accept failures. He also stressed that i finish my college degree and that him not going to college was a big regret of his. That conversation created an epic chain reaction over the following 3 years. I got into BJJ and it required me to improve everything in my life to accel at it. My discipline, personality, my physical fitness, etc. I lost 60 lbs and completely rebuilt my character from ground zero. It made me much more proud of the person I was becoming. I ended up completing a bachelor's. Moved on and got a master's. Now, I'm doing well in my life at 23. Got a good lady in my corner and am trying to put together concepts of my own business. My physical fitness is awesome as I lift and do cardio daily, and my mental health is the greatest it ever has been. I need to get back to BJJ soon. From 2019 when I met Frank until 2022, trained it like an absolute animal every day 2 hours plus. Was nearly a purple belt but stress injuries caught up to me that forced me to take a break then I never really went back. Gotta get back on the mat soon 💪

It’s just rude attitude this point he’s so coked out he just doesn’t understand what they’re talking about he talks to fast intense eyes and doesn’t understand a lot of jokes because he’s trying to build friendship unnaturally that’s how coke heads are fake interest fake convos

[@hmsp7799]

Frank mir is a gems

[@seethemore6360]

One of the most articulate fighters out there. I have to admit, before I had ever seen him speak I thought he would be a meathead, being a heavyweight fighter with the tattoos and the haircut, but then I started watching interviews of him and found out he’s incredibly well spoken and intelligent. Always enjoy his interviews.

[@congressoflife5913]

He was excellent on commentary as well but he said something on a radio show once that was less than palatable and he kind of has been blackballed from commentating ever since. This was more than 10 years ago.

[@derekboy1]

@@congressoflife5913Talked crap about Conor or Jon Jones ?

[@TimoRamone]

Mir is awesome, legendary career.

[@oneyedthing]

Mir lost some braincells talking to Bear more than his last 10 fights

[@TobiasSmith-u9b]

You just won the comment section!

[@df6148]

Frank Mir is a true strategist. You can just tell by the way he mentioned how his daughter was going to pursue wrestling instead of jumping right into fighting because the _window of competition_ was smaller there and something you have to do now or never (could return to fighting after). But the *BIGGEST* thing he highlighted was that it was not a step _backwards_ but actually a step forward because the big take away is that she will have a strong *WRESTLING* foundation. He emphasized it even more by saying if she did something like surfing that there wasn’t much that translates over to MMA. I like this take because I do this with a LOT of things. If I’m going to pursue something I intentionally *LOOK* for carry over skills. And I think that is something that comes to MIXED martial arts fighters (I am not one). Because you’re constantly mixing up your skill sets.

[@blitzu_1]

Frank "teacher " Mir is awesome!

[@harrish619]

Yoooo been waiting for this one. Frank Mir my top 5 favorite fighter all time. Legend, one of the Greatest Heavyweight BJJ. Love from Tamil Nadu ❤

[@KingTrayTovine]

One of the Best HeavyWeights and Interviews in MMA I've heard online period. Congratulations 🎉 of this classic MMA interview. Please bring him Back. It's a intelligent conversation with tones of Wisdom and Knowledge

[@goldwold]

I always loved watching Frank Mir. I remember when he came back from his accident. I was worried about him. He didn't look good. So stoked he made a full come back. I always love listening to Frank talk about fighting too. He has a great mind for fighting.

[@franklfrr7666]

Fuck Yeah, Can't wait for this one, Mir is a legend who has a great understanding of MMA Please get Big Nog on the show someday

[@pablovilla9364]

FRANK IS THE MAN ALWAYS LOVED 2 WATCH HIM FIGHT BRING FRANK BACK

[@ahmedhamm5464]

he was the first aspinal

[@joeyschmidt7546]

i just looked up rampage record damn the time has gone by so fast. rampage fought in 2001 to 2019 for 18 years, thats incredible for someone to fight at the highest level for almost 20 years straight, name another mma fighter who fought at the top for over 20 years? i remember being in my living room in high school watching rampage on a old square black box type tv, we didnt even have flat screens tv's yet or flat screen computer monitors or smart phones. I think i still had dial up internet back in like 2007. i think it was spike tv channel the man channel.

[@geegleed1636]

The thought of Frank Mir grabbing my arm behind my back terrifies me .... Top bloke .... Scary grappler

[@stormslash9106]

Frank Mir is a Legend! glad you had him on your podcast he's awesome to listen too.

[@jay.watchman9986]

Man, Frank fought in the golden era of UFC too. Best BJJ skills in the Heavyweight division too. The Cheick Kongo fight is my favourite.

Definitely. Carrying too much weight too his breathing seems a little off

[@samemery4447]

You guys are the shit... Thank uz for doin these podcasts fam 😎

[@JasiriChoice]

8:22 that is so true. That is how I felt about grappling until I grappled with someone who had been learning it. Now I have an appreciation for it and it helped to appreciate MMA for what it is; it truly covers all aspects of hand to hand combat and is truly a fight. The grappling aspect is just as important as the striking aspect.

[@american1207]

Prime Mir vs Almeida would be crazy 32:25 lmao

[@jefftheproducer1]

My sources told me you recorded this over 2 weeks ago. Why are you releasing it now and why haven't you released the UFC 310 podcast you recorded yesterday?

[@antoniusblock7193]

"...to me it's the most efficient way for incapacitating humans." Frank is the man!

[@Pootie_Tang]

38:45 Bear, it's true, Chael himself explained that he usually carefully prepares his lines before press conferences. At the same time, of course, he's more than able to improvise, but his most iconic lines were all written beforehand

Franks is very articulate and eloquent . Knows how to talk .

[@here4thaLulz]

I wanna learn from Frank Mir and Rampage someday.

[@InspectorButters4]

Franks the man! A true OG of the fight game and the dude was an absolute TANK back in the day, plus his BJJ was insane for someone his size. He was the prototype for a modern day guy like Aspinall. Frank's still super sharp and articulate too, its impressive 🍻✌️

[@Jaxon_Lunae]

My FAVOURITE heavyweight. I 100% agree on his take on being his own coach. This guy had HUGE potential. Imagine being a two-time UFC heavyweight champion. Not seeing your TRUE potential ✌️😎

[@Yaiden050]

1:15:44 I didn’t know Rampage had that in him, calling Frank Mir out. He’s usually very nice with the guests.

[@fknobody4674]

You guys should have Mir as a co-host

[@gawdszn302]

Rampage got Tom’s name right for sure

[@joeyschmidt7546]

anyone else remember back in the day rampage on tv he did a ufc segment on spike tv where he said "i punch with my ass"? back in like 2007 they were analysing how he fought like he was the russian from rocky lol i somehow still remember that cause i used to not like rampage with his chain howlin like a wolf and shit lol but i love rampage now i was just a teen back then and mma was new to us. I also remember there was a 19 year old kind of blonde hair kid who was the youngest to fight mma back then in ufc and i cant for the life of me remember who he was or what happened to him if he became great or disappeared. i wish the time would slow down sigh

[@imbetter599]

sage northcut, he is in ONE now but hasnt fought in a year

[@jodypierson3137]

I loved it when he was a commentator for wec

[@haywadsharif5294]

Frank is a legend great guest!

[@Blade5067]

mannnn finally, Mir is a legenndddddd

[@SeenaAbedi]

20:38 That story is slightly incorrect. What happened for UFC 151 was that Jon Jones was supposed to fight Dan Henderson. There were rumblings that Hendo was going to pull out. Eventually Hendo did pull out a few days before the fight and Chael offered to step up and replace him. Chael Sonnen and Dan Henderson were training partners and trained together at the same gym. Greg Jackson told Jon Jones that it's a possibility that Chael Sonnen has been preparing to face Jon Jones all along, knowing Henderson was going to pull out but that Jon didn't have the adequate time to prepare specifically for Chael, therefore UFC 151 ended up being cancelled. Dana White called Greg Jackson a sports killer, etc... it was a big deal at the time.

[@ashisforreal]

Yeah Jon was an idiot for listening that clown Greg. Chael was literally the easiest match up for him. He would beat him with no training camp IMO.

[@darensparks]

​@@ashisforrealOf course, sonnen always lost against top fighters, no reason for Jon to sweat a quitter like chael.

[@dinfulofsin8525]

wait a minute. the Frances fight they're talking about was a month ago. i guest when it says 2 hours ago it mean a month ago?
