From FightersOnly:
"It’s nothing about how he talked to me in my last fight, I could care less about it. If I took it that personal there are other ways to handle situation like that outside of a cage, but honestly I just want to fix what was exploited," he explained. "If you’re a true martial artist you don’t do it for money or titles, just to be the best human being possible, and if someone exploits a weakness, who better to see if you’ve fixed it than the guy who exploited it. "To end Brock Lesnar’s career," he replied instantly. " Really, it’s what I think about all the time. Brock Lesnar exploited a huge weakness in my game and no matter who I crush after this, I have to crush him to show I’ve improved that weakness.

Me too. I am definitely NOT a Mur (yea, I said MUR) fan, but I do appreciate his hype talk. By the time UFC 100 rolled around I was hoping that Brock was going to snap his neck. I love feeling emotionally involved in a fight and Mur really knows how to press those buttons, love OR hate him.

Being emotionally involved tends to eff up betting though — even though I’m saying this now I will look at the line for this fight, convince myself Kongo is a fantastic underdog and piss away a fair few bucks because I think Mir is a douche lol
Bloody hell.
SO TRUE!!!!

I’ve never been a huge Mir fan. However, I’ve always thought that Mir has tons of talent and could do extremely well if he really applied himself. If it takes personal grudge against Lesnar to get him to train as hard as he can and be the best fighter he can be, why not? I support him in that and hope this helps him.
Between Mir and Lesnar, I will root for Mir (and bet on Lesnar :-))

Mir should be worrying about his chin and wrestling against Kongo instead of obsessing over Brock otherwise Kongo is going to commit a hate crime on his ass.

yup i agree. over in less then a minute. mir has brock on his mind still thats not good. mir is a great fighter but insted of him thinking he’s the best he should concentrate on being the best.
Mir’s wrestling isn’t very good at all…so Kongo will punish him standing imo.

Mir's got a better shot of ending Todd Harris' career.
Most people aren’t built to beat Lesnar and Mir is especially lucky he got Brock as early in his development as he did.
I’m not so confident about Kongo beating him, however. As overrated a wrestler as Mir is, he’s still far, far better than Kongo who has almost no wrestling ability. Any time Cheick has even considered trying to wrestle, it’s been a disaster. I don’t think Mir is gonna shoot for a single leg or anything. But I can see him closing distance carefully, getting in the clinch and then working Kongo down to the mat. Even if Mir gets on his back, it’s bad for Kongo unless he does the smart thing and stands back up ASAP.
Of course, this could all be moot if Mir’s dumb enough to think he can trade strikes with Kongo. And considering he tried to stand up against Brock for as long as he did, that’s a possibility. But if Mir’s even halfway smart about this, he shouldn’t have any trouble making Kongo tap like Savion Glover.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
