Frank Mir Talks Lesnar’s Illness and More

– Frank Mir was recently on MMAJunkie.com Radio, here are the highlights:

 


 

On His Goals: “The long-term goal for me and my own satisfaction is to take off Brock Lesnar’s arm,” Mir said. “At the end of the day, that’s what my goal is when I go to the gym and train. But being an interim champion would get me one step closer to doing so.”

On Lesnar’s Illness: “[Lesnar’s sickness] has thrown my mind for a spin,” Mir said. “When you go in the gym, you’ve got a certain goal that you’re going for and going for. Not that he was, obviously, my next opponent, but to face him again was the long-term goal – the short-term goals being obviously Cheick and whoever else. Now I’ve just got to turn it around that the interim would be another short-term goal.”

What If Brock Cannot Fight Again?: “If Brock Lesnar is unable to enter the cage again, that’s going to give me a hard time,” Mir said. “That’s been pretty much my drive and focus to go to the gym every day, to change myself and grow as a fighter, is the opportunity to have a rematch with him. To know that there’s a slight possibility that that will never happen, that’s going to take me [some time] to wrap my head around it.”
