Is Frank Mir Jealous Of Brock Lesnar?

Frank Mir had this to say in regards to Brock Lesnar post-UFC 100:

If I were a parent who was watching this for the first time, I wouldn't want by children to be involved in this. I almost didn't want to be involved in this." Yeah, because any responsible parent would otherwise want their children involved in this.
Mir said he refuses to accept any apology from Lesnar because he believes that was his true nature. Mir said he doesn't like how Lesnar insults people, saying "I think he's an extraordinary insecure person who isn't very smart to begin with and he insulted all those people," and said Lesnar's fight strategy was "cowardly" and "one dimensional." He also said Lesnar was a big fat (yes) guy who doesn't have nearly the athleticism he possesses."

I seriously can't believe Mir is saying this, but then again Mir is very good at running off at the mouth. We got to see that firsthand during the Countdown To UFC 100 show. The only reason a parent wouldn't want their children to get involved in something like that is they would probably be afraid their child would be the Frank Mir in the fight. I just don't see how he can't understand Lesnar's POV after ALL the smack he talked about Lesnar. Maybe he does and this is just his insecurity talking? Also, to say that Lesnar's fight strategy was 'cowardly' is absolutely absurd. Let's take a look at this.

Mir is supposed to be one of the best heavyweight submission artists in the world right? Didn't Mir defeat Lesnar by submission during their first encounter? Ok. So how is it cowardly when a guy goes right back at your bread and butter and absolutely destroys you? Somebody educate me on this.

Lesnar rode Heath Herring the same way, and you never heard a peep out of Herring. Instead of complaining about Brock Lesnar, Mir should get back in the gym and use Lesnar’s antics as motivation. The odds are good that Frank Mir is going to have a tough fight against Couture/Nogueira/Carwin/Velasquez/Filipovic/dos Santos coming up.

Look now I hate what Bock did after the fight but I don’t think you can win in a more dominating fashion than destroying a jitz guy on the ground. Was Mir going to pull off a flying armbar from the clinch? I doubt it.

Mir’s career is on the line here. Brock has done a lot more that just physically dominate Mir. I reckon he has done a lot of psychological harm as well to an already fragile mind. Mir’s next outing will be huge for him.

Yep

I agree cauliflower….if he loses the next one…he could be done against top competition.

All the pre-fight shit talk by Mir was worse than a highly emotional Brock going the fuck overboard after all that pent up frustration got released… and I see Mir continues on the same path, I really don’t like the guy.

Bloody hell.

Mir didn’t get called for trash talking b/c Noguiera was sick, looked bad, and Mir won in convincing fashion…he did run his mouth, like he usu. does, and he got blasted. it all sounds like sour grapes at this point. Lesnar was the only fighter i despise enough to have rooted for Mir to beat. period.
