Frank Mir is a legend greatest submission specialist in heavy weight history.

It feels really weird(and awesome) when I see some technical details in heavyweight division. DC and Stipe's Wrestling, stipe's boxing+ wrestling combo, Gane's Lightfoot, Mir's groundgame, Fedor's Sambo Judo. It feels very exciting, seeing this in a division where almost everyone relies on setting up and wind-milling KO.

*TAP* , _NAP_ or *_SNAP_*

Whenever Frank Mir locks in a submission, i have to look away. Ive broken too many many bones (my own) to watch. He wants to see them break and then hurt (often while looking right at their face). He is a great fighter.

Mir one of my favorite fighters of all time. I hadn't seen that sequence with Big Nog in years, what an absolute savage Mir is to nearly get TKOd, then nearly get subbed, reverse it, and then hand Nog the first submission loss of his career, breaking his arm in the process.... Just WOW!

Imagine Frank Mir without his motorcycle accident ... formidable comeback!

Mir was always my favorite HW in the UFC. He submitted Nog while he was still in a haze from getting rocked. He basically just went lizard brain / auto pilot and got the key lock before he got his head cleared. Fantastic fighter and always a good sport, win or lose. I was crushed when he had his accident and crushed again when I realized he'd never be great again like he once was.

That Mir tap out at the end is so fun to watch
