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
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.
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 No, it was about Brock. He was supposed to be fighting Brock - this was before their second fight and he said that he wanted Brock Lesnar to be the first death in the Octagon or something to that extent. Was trying to hype up their fight but it was not the best thing to say.
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.
I always thought Frank gave such great commentary and insight. One of my favorites from the WEC days. Still dropping educational bombs all these years later.
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
Mir on the judge being able to show their work is the biggest thing that needs to be done in fight judging. "Explain to me how the fuck you scored that, ok great you're fired."
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.
Thank you for having Frank Mir. Whenever he speaks, I'm like all ears and just take it all in. I agree, he really is smart. He's also wearing $200k Patek Philippe Nautilus watch. Dang! Bear and Rampage, you guys are really doing a great job. Can't praise you enough. Keep it up. 👏
Understand, Mir almost lost his leg, his career was over. Then watch the Marcio Cruz fight. That was his comeback. Everybody thought it was over. Then he won the title. Never sleep on Mir. Best Martial Artist of our time.
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.
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
Frank Mir is one of the all-time great heavyweights. 2009-2014 heavyweight division was at its peak. Cain,Hunt,Bigfoot,Dos Santos,Werdum,Lesner,Overeem, Nelson,Nogueira,Cormier,Barnett,Miocic.
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 not really he was doing what was best. Greg Jackson and Jon study each and every opponent so they have all the advantages. Why risk it ?
I’ve been saying since before Frank became champ that he doesn’t get the credit or opportunities he deserves for the way he talks. Frank Mirr is one of the absolute legends. A legend amongst legends in fact.
Frank Mir was an exciting fighter. He could KO you or break a limb. It was a joy to watch his career. Very intelligent fighter too. Always interesting to hear him talks fights.
FRANK MIR, HANDS DOWN HAD THE BEST BJJ IN THE UFC EVERY! NO ONE CAME CLOSE AND WATCHING HIS FIGHTS WERE ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC TO WATCH LIVE EVERY. THANK YOU FRANK !
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.
@@99mattdogg yes it will be 2030 in what will feel like a year. i know for me 2019 to now felt like a year or so with terrible politicains we had and the media that is pushed onto us 24/7 somehow has made perception of time go by faster. everyone i talk to notices since covid the time has somehow went by faster.
@@Phiziology i cant believe aldo is still fighting he has to have brain damage he should be rich and able to retire years ago I think he should hang the gloves up. just like when mike tyson hung his gloves up when he said " i shouldnt be losing to this caliber of fighter"
Frank is one of my fav fighters of all time, him vs Brock Lesnar 1 was the first UFC fight I ever watched. I remember liking this guy so much back in the early days of 2009, such great memories. Go glad he’s doing amazing these days.
Mir is the best and most dangerous heavyweight on the ground of all time. I really miss watching this guy take and put his opponents limbs on his wall😂 but it’s always great to hear from him he’s sharp and one of the best guests you could have.
Another legend hats off to bear for always getting the real killers in there on the mic we need to see GSP he would be a great guest real goat never failed a drug test you can do it bear
hey guys just wanted to let you know i'm a big fan of your podcast, keep doing what you do! (i did not even know about this legend Frank Mir before this episode 😎 )
When he said three people can kick your ass no matter how big and well trained your are. That is 100% true. I got into a fight with three bouncers and was 6'0 240 at 15% bf and they fucked me up really bad. I never thought the boot print in my face would ever heal. It looked like I'd been in a car wreck. I've never lost a one on one but three bouncers fucked me up bad.
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 ✌️😎
I met Frank at UFC 37. He had trained Baroni for his fight. Frank was 2-0 in the UFC atcthat time. Bht he was very confident that he would be Heavyweight Champion. He was right!
Its hilarious how they are talking to mir about lesnar testing positive when he fought hunt not knowing Mir also tested positive when he fought hunt lmao
Good stuff. These shows take a while to watch; pause to re-watch the Lesnar fights...then search for who bloodied the canvas before them at UFC 100, etc.
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 🍻✌️

@@congressoflife5913Talked crap about Conor or Jon Jones ?
He had the zoomer haircut way back then.
That’s what you begin to see once you see so many interviews with fighters. How some were affected and how some weren’t. It’s crazy.
@@derekboy1 No, it was about Brock. He was supposed to be fighting Brock - this was before their second fight and he said that he wanted Brock Lesnar to be the first death in the Octagon or something to that extent. Was trying to hype up their fight but it was not the best thing to say.
Its always great listening to Frank talk, he's still so coherent and intelligent.
Mir is awesome, legendary career.
He was such a good analyst and announcer while it lasted as well.

Fuck Yeah, Can't wait for this one, Mir is a legend who has a great understanding of MMA

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

Underrated Heavy weight champion
Who underrates him? 🤔
Frank Mir is one of the all-time great heavyweights. 2009-2014 heavyweight division was at its peak.
Cain,Hunt,Bigfoot,Dos Santos,Werdum,Lesner,Overeem,
Nelson,Nogueira,Cormier,Barnett,Miocic.
Frank Mir should be a UFC judge.
That's a good one.

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.
@@ashisforrealOf course, sonnen always lost against top fighters, no reason for Jon to sweat a quitter like chael.
Great info
@@gunnar4554 thanks.

Frank Mir is a fighting genius, so hearing him praise Jones fight iq really puts into perspective how smart he is in the octagon.
Frank Mir is a Legend!!!!
Wow. Frank Mir was more requested this time than the last. What a legend.
Frank Mir was an exciting fighter. He could KO you or break a limb. It was a joy to watch his career. Very intelligent fighter too. Always interesting to hear him talks fights.
Waiting for the most requested guest! TOM ASPINALL🙏🏻
Assinall*
I wanna learn from Frank Mir and Rampage someday.
Love this podcast 🙌 rampage is a legend and funny as hell you guys are awesome keep it up
FRANK MIR, HANDS DOWN HAD THE BEST BJJ IN THE UFC EVERY! NO ONE CAME CLOSE AND WATCHING HIS FIGHTS WERE ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC TO WATCH LIVE EVERY. THANK YOU FRANK !
Prime Mir vs Almeida would be crazy
30:26 lmao
No it wouldn’t. Almeida couldn’t tap out Lewis. There’s absolutely no way Mir doesn’t 10/10 him.
Frank stomps him.
FRANK IS THE MAN
ALWAYS LOVED 2 WATCH HIM FIGHT BRING FRANK BACK
he was the first aspinal
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.
It has indeed flew by fast, before you know it we’ll be knocking on 2030’s door soon.
@@99mattdogg yes it will be 2030 in what will feel like a year. i know for me 2019 to now felt like a year or so with terrible politicains we had and the media that is pushed onto us 24/7 somehow has made perception of time go by faster. everyone i talk to notices since covid the time has somehow went by faster.
Right? Same with Aldo, Jones and Overeem, those guys I feel like are timeless, even Arlovski.
@@Phiziology i cant believe aldo is still fighting he has to have brain damage he should be rich and able to retire years ago I think he should hang the gloves up. just like when mike tyson hung his gloves up when he said " i shouldnt be losing to this caliber of fighter"

Frank is one of my fav fighters of all time, him vs Brock Lesnar 1 was the first UFC fight I ever watched. I remember liking this guy so much back in the early days of 2009, such great memories. Go glad he’s doing amazing these days.
That’s was fascinating. Love this pod
1:07:40 Actually, Mark Hunt suffered a severe beating at the hands of Lesnar. And, yes there is an ongoing lawsuit Hunt vs UFC
Mir is the best and most dangerous heavyweight on the ground of all time. I really miss watching this guy take and put his opponents limbs on his wall😂 but it’s always great to hear from him he’s sharp and one of the best guests you could have.
This guys is a legend but he could be even more of a legend as a coach.
FRANK MIR A LEGEND FOR SURE 💯💯💯💯
Always wanted to see Werdum vs Mir
That was so close to happen
@aaronpaulo7533 - I think Werdum beats him too but their scrambles would’ve been interesting
Another legend hats off to bear for always getting the real killers in there on the mic we need to see GSP he would be a great guest real goat never failed a drug test you can do it bear
Oh man, this will be great . i remember his fight with tank abbot
I was there. Back then it was cheap to go.
Used to go crazy with Frank mir on ufc undisputed 3. Legend!
Undisputed 2010, he had the best submissions.
Mir was like Romo, he was always predicting things before they happened in his WEC days. I also like how ruthless he was with submissions.
Common sense is like magic to Bear.
Bears game as a presenter has inproved a lot. Nice to see.
Personally I loved it When Frank was doing commentary for WEC. Hope he does it again in the future. Legend.
hey guys just wanted to let you know i'm a big fan of your podcast, keep doing what you do! (i did not even know about this legend Frank Mir before this episode 😎 )
You guys are the shit... Thank uz for doin these podcasts fam 😎
Frank is a legend great guest!
Frank fkin with that growth hormone. You can tell in his face. Love the dude tho. Legend of mma
Definitely. Carrying too much weight too his breathing seems a little off
If he is it’s probably because of his neck injury. It started fucking with his arm
Frank Mir is awesome. Dillashaw, Bisping, Mir, Rashad Evans = best ex-UFC fighters turned commentators. I like DC too.
Great Guest!!!
Frank is definitely #1 in heavyweight submissions for at least one or two decades to come.
Please have this man back , amazing fight IQ
When he said three people can kick your ass no matter how big and well trained your are. That is 100% true. I got into a fight with three bouncers and was 6'0 240 at 15% bf and they fucked me up really bad. I never thought the boot print in my face would ever heal. It looked like I'd been in a car wreck.

Great pod ep!!!
frank mirs the goat
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 ✌️😎
Love the OG podcasts!
I wonder what frank thinks about rousimar palhares style of grappling
I met Frank at UFC 37. He had trained Baroni for his fight. Frank was 2-0 in the UFC atcthat time. Bht he was very confident that he would be Heavyweight Champion. He was right!
Franks is very articulate and eloquent . Knows how to talk .
Been a fan of frank since the begining. Hes a stud for sure.
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.
I had a theory that Frank believed in his boxing too much based on dropping kongo in that fight.
Frank Mir was my favorite fighter for like 10 years
Frank Mir’s my favorite fighter. Guy’s an insightful pure martial artist and one more in the long line of pioneers Dana threw away. F Dana.
Frank is a Tank
One of my favorite MMA
Never seen bear turn bright red so many different times over so many different topics. Lmao
Its hilarious how they are talking to mir about lesnar testing positive when he fought hunt not knowing Mir also tested positive when he fought hunt lmao
Exactly, Mir got a 2 year suspension after he popped for turinabol. The same gear Jones was using.
Mir blamed it on kangaroo meat 😂
Really enjoyed listening to Frank speak hes very intelligent
I've watched Mir submit Pete Williams 1,000 times... awesome
Good stuff. These shows take a while to watch; pause to re-watch the Lesnar fights...then search for who bloodied the canvas before them at UFC 100, etc.
Loved frank commenting on fights
Mir does have some crazy eyes at times😂 40:00
Lol
Frank Mir is a legend
Frank was an excellent commentator in the WEC… Glad he has his brain cells still
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 🍻✌️
Great podcast I feel this could of gone on for 3hrs frank Mir has so many great battles he could of talked about I hope he comes back again.
Great interview
I enjoyed his commentary work in the WEC
Frank Mir is great on podcasts
I understand rampage he wants exciting fights and us fans as well but the jackson team did create a goat from their game planning of fights
I Think this podcast be much better if it was just rampage and the guest or even an other mma vet or current mma fighter to co host 😅
Frank is the real life Marcus from Gears of War 🔥
That’s a perfect description of JJ. “Fratboyish” lol!
Recently met Frank at a Criss Angel show, he was very approachable and friendly.
Mir and Liddell on the same supply
Respect to Mir. Legend
