Haha, he’s definitely been affected by teh internets and comments that have been flying about in general. Brilliant!

Thankyou Frank Mir, for saying what everyone else in the world thinks. All the talent in the world shouldnt have stopped Junie Browning being booted out of that house. He now has to earn back the respect the lost for himself and for the sport by acting the way he did.
in 12-17-2008 at 11:17:56 from 164.76.176.112
mir makes a good point, fighters are being portrayed like meatsicle douches
in 12-17-2008 at 11:18:03 from 198.202.2.181
Mir sumed sh#t up; earned respect points even tho he don’t need it.
in 12-17-2008 at 11:40:44 from 71.11.226.202
Mir came of as a tool during the show but
I’ve gained some respect for him after wathcing this.
I still hope that nogueira finishes him in the first round though!!!
in 12-17-2008 at 11:43:52 from 189.132.194.54
mir is the man… of course he’s going to win against nogueira… you mtf are going to cry dec 27 jajaja… mark my words ;D
;D!!!!!!

He sure can talk forever. He should host his own mma show. He is gonna beat nog for sure.
in 12-17-2008 at 12:02:41 from 66.114.77.210
I dont think we will see him in UFC for long, He may have offended Pharaoh Dana. He does seem much smarter and down to earth in this vid than on the reality show.
in 12-17-2008 at 12:04:18 from 81.165.161.119
I think Frank Mir is a stand up guy. He’s honest, he’s real he’s human. Its obvious to most people atleast the non ignorant ones that TUF is about TV. Everyone enjoys the drama, the punches in the house the *brawls* and so forth. Hopefully, next season will spice it up even more. But most of these guys will learn their real place in mma in the cage. Throw them in with some experienced fighters and teach them some humility.
in 12-17-2008 at 12:34:13 from 66.183.4.131
Holy damage control Batman!…ok….he’s overcompensating a bit too much on how he was in the right with the way he acted,but I do respect what he’s saying about the perception of ‘reality’ on these shows
in 12-17-2008 at 13:07:04 from 74.12.143.88
Yeah — (points to Mir) what he said.
in 12-17-2008 at 13:32:34 from 72.165.80.2
He’s got a 16-yr old son? Did he have him at 13…damn.
in 12-17-2008 at 13:37:16 from 166.77.6.4
Yes we know Mir, we get it. I’m surprised that you are surprised. Your image is intact, now good luck against Big-Nogs and I hope you are busting your ass because he’s a monster.
in 12-17-2008 at 13:46:10 from 64.59.144.21
It’s a shame Mir’s gonna get his ass handed to him by big Nog, every time I see an interview I like the guy more.
Genuine dude, I wish him luck and I hope that fight turns out to be one of the great classics.
Reality TV is interesting as it is a clone in many ways of mainstream media; it shows you and tells you what it wants you to hear and see, not necessarily the truth.
in 12-17-2008 at 13:56:41 from 76.71.129.70
I think that Frank really didn’t need to explain himself. He’s an upstanding guy who just happens to have a showboat in his team. Dana White is all about one thing….his pocketbook. Junie…..can’t wait to see him really get pummelled out of mma.
in 12-17-2008 at 14:27:19 from 76.27.253.61
frank loves call of duty
in 12-17-2008 at 14:59:14 from 72.84.5.66
Frank Mir is kinda annoying.
in 12-17-2008 at 15:06:01 from 70.26.74.150
thanks for explaining the obvious mir
realize that you are not as good as you think you are, you are not on any road to recovery… you are garbage, and beat lesner at his most inexperienced time(even though he was beating you for most the fight), and you were placed on the show not because you are a good fighter, but because no matter the outcome at the end of the season, it will either be you who will be losing the rematch to lesnar to further boost his horrible image and fake career, or, nogeira vs. lesnar in a fight that would be extremely entertaining, and a true competitor that should destory lesnar.
Mir, you were no more a tool on a reality show than Junie.
in 12-17-2008 at 15:07:43 from 82.242.109.216
to much talk, blablabla….
in 12-17-2008 at 15:09:08 from 88.171.239.67
i want mir to be my father
in 12-17-2008 at 15:18:14 from 171.159.64.10
I agree with Frank…. But I think that the people that think this way have never trained before so they wouldn’t have a clue in the first place.
in 12-17-2008 at 15:23:56 from 66.252.139.234
this guys f@*^ing arrogant i hope big nog destroys freakin mir
in 12-17-2008 at 15:39:11 from 69.226.37.36
very well put, but mir is a kiss ass and a crybaby.
in 12-17-2008 at 16:07:10 from 198.53.10.11
Well said Frank !
in 12-17-2008 at 16:11:25 from 96.20.145.49
Frank Mir has a 16 year old son!? WTF? The guy is 30 years old!
in 12-17-2008 at 16:22:41 from 99.226.115.102
i hate frank but everything he said was true, not even for one second did i disagreed with him in this video
in 12-17-2008 at 16:59:06 from 209.139.199.1
“Well said”
in 12-17-2008 at 17:16:51 from 76.88.148.245
Still a tool to me ….
in 12-17-2008 at 17:17:37 from 75.25.125.69
10 minutes of him saying the exact same fucking thing over and over.
in 12-17-2008 at 17:20:41 from 209.139.199.1
Anyone who thinks that the reality TV shows are the real deal need to get there heads looked at – the shit you see on TV is edited beyond belief for pure entertainment factor.. What’s aired is totally unrealistic BUT entertaining viewing for the dumb ass masses.
in 12-17-2008 at 17:22:38 from 67.189.1.243
That was a good point that Mir was making. I think people do judge some of the coaches a bit harsh when like he said he isn’t really in charge of much. I really thought Mir came across as arrogant and self involved. I’m willing to admit that maybe he wasn’t as bad as I thought, at least he admitted how terrible his first fights back where. That said, I am still rooting against him in this next fight.
in 12-17-2008 at 17:23:42 from 41.203.227.103
Mir is right about some of it. I did like him a whole lot more before the show though. I hope Nog wins. Nog was great on the show and seems to be a great guy and he is a great fighter.
in 12-17-2008 at 17:36:13 from 142.161.98.58
frank mir is the real deal. fuk allthe haters. he will tap nogueira with a setup off rubber guard. i hope a triangle
in 12-17-2008 at 17:41:52 from 65.11.6.13
step away from the ego Frankie, real nice and easy now…walk away, let it go…one step at a time…goood..very good.
in 12-17-2008 at 18:37:37 from 68.146.99.57
I just gained a little bit more respect for mir….
nog is still gunna kick his ass tho
in 12-17-2008 at 19:00:20 from 74.233.114.162
The funny thing is that Junnie thinks that the reason he didnt get kicked of was becuase he was sooooo good, Dana couldnt pass him up LMAO
What a loser, cant wait til he gets owned again and blames his mommy
in 12-17-2008 at 19:04:20 from 99.233.171.153
That was a pretty standard perspective from media studies… but super simplified. Should’ve probably been 2 minutes instead of 9.
Mir is well spoken. Doesn’t slur. Not as smart as he’d like to be, however.
in 12-17-2008 at 19:16:32 from 72.245.0.225
Yeah I agree with Frank.. Junie got his ass WHOOOPED on the show and Dana still let him fight on the finale?? He should have been sent home after that… The way junie behaved in the show went up against everything Dana White and several UFC fighters stood up for.. But now i guess it’s just about the money.. Give it some time and the UFC will be going downhill.
in 12-17-2008 at 20:27:31 from 206.163.233.179
very well spoken…we all knew that dana kept him on for ratings, but frank tells it like n it is. TUF is turning into a fuckin soap opera….may as well start watchin the hills with the wife! Sad really..
in 12-17-2008 at 21:31:39 from 66.229.21.206
Nog will destroy this guy. He got on his knees for Junie, for Kaplan. Now the recant. Great. Good BJJ. But all he tries to do is look good all the time.
in 12-17-2008 at 21:33:22 from 99.238.29.161
Well said Mir. True MAists don’t act like douche bags as portrayed in TUF.
in 12-17-2008 at 21:34:39 from 68.123.152.148
Dana was Junie’s bitch. Well said Frank, but I hope Noguiera kicks your ass.
in 12-18-2008 at 00:30:08 from 69.196.143.124
Mir lost half of his leg and was able to come back and fight. That’s pretty damn impressive.
in 12-18-2008 at 00:51:11 from 98.194.185.218
Most of the posts I’ve seen here, have been totally disrespectful to a REAL fighter, coming from a bunch of BIG typing keyboard warriors. He would own your azz in 10 seconds. Frank is an honest person and sees things as they should be seen. If you dont agree with most of what he says, your probably an idiot
in 12-18-2008 at 01:14:22 from 24.70.95.205
Dude kept repeating himself needlessly.
He needs to be as disciplined with his mouth as he would have been in dealing with Junie.
Also, Nog will destroy him. Nog has only lost 4 times in 35 fights(!!)–2 of those losses were to Fedor.
in 12-18-2008 at 02:14:04 from 99.231.152.85
wow well said. mir is one smart cookie. i think mir will win by decision. and ankle lock brock. i wanna ask mir a question. if he can say that without having dana have beef with him. or mir just doesnt care. lotsa organization he’ll fight for and they’ll sign him
in 12-18-2008 at 02:18:43 from 128.189.135.218
damn, that man can talk. straight up and very articulate.
in 12-18-2008 at 08:08:41 from 71.141.136.144
I loved the entire interview…very well put. I gotta say I like Mir a bit more now. Toss up as to who Im rooting for in the fight.
Also, I didn’t know they were denied books, mags and tv. Why books of all things? What the hell are they gonna do besides stare each other down?
in 12-18-2008 at 09:45:58 from 208.54.90.67
I think andre arloski will xpose fedor overrated weakness arlovski by k’o
in 12-18-2008 at 11:16:47 from 137.151.119.27
This is probably one of the best interviews I have seen by an athlete in a long time.
Junie needs to get his act straight and I believe he needs to seek out some professional help for that.
in 12-18-2008 at 12:48:23 from 65.96.193.184
Well said as usual Frank.
in 12-18-2008 at 20:13:27 from 86.145.177.173
frank mir’s 16 year old son is adopted – he’s his wife’s son and mir adopted him
in 12-19-2008 at 00:34:52 from 63.164.47.2
frank’s dad works with me (frank sr.) and I can see how this annoys jr. if he is anything like his dad. they (the mirs) have worked hard for what they have and it bothers him that this guy is taking it for granted, lets face it junie is like the white version of crazy horse…huge amounts of raw talent and does not take it seriously.
in 12-19-2008 at 01:29:02 from 65.32.225.103
well said but hes such a ego maniac..should retire after big nog breaks his kneck and spine!
