So after catching up with Frank Mir, we got talking about his loss to Brock Lesnar and Frank said that things didn’t see to go his way within the fight and that he didn’t go about things the right way.
“I think I should respected the wrestling a little bit more. I really was under the impression that we would fight on our feet a little bit better. I thought he would avoid the ground with me and want to knock me out.”
“The times we were on our feet, I was more successful, but the bad news was that we were only on our feet for about 15 seconds in the round and a half that we fought. I got pretty much owned on the ground. I need to work more wrestling, and I also need to put on a little bit more size. I think 245 was a good weight as far as maybe everybody else in the heavyweight division, but fighting Brock, there was too much of a size difference, due to the fact that he had great technique also.”
“It wasn’t just because of his size that he was able to nullify my technique, but he used his size. He knew how to position his hips, and block my hips, and hold my arm. He did things that I didn’t really expect because of his reach. I think I went in with too much of a gameplan, and I wanted it to go one way, and I tried to force it that way.”
In fairness coming in at 245 and Brock Lesnar coming in at 295, is a huge difference, but look at Randy, He came in at like 225 or something along those lines and I have to say this, Randy gave Brock Lesnar a good run for his money. But like Randy said, Brock is just a child in the game and ever fight Brock improves and It’s getting to the point where Brock will just be unstoppable as a heavyweight.

You know, I respect Frank a lot and I think he’s a great Heavyweight and I think it’s just Lesnar’s Technique and Size that won the fight that night, Both of these guys are great heavyweights and great guys, was an awesome fight.
