Frank Mir Apologises For Saying He Wants To Kill Brock Lesnar
By
The other day former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir said that he wanted to kill rival Brock Lesnar. It was a shocking statement from one of MMA’s most intelligent mouth-pieces and it forced UFC president Dana White to step in and have a word with him about his conduct.
I’ll let Dana explain…
“I was disappointed by Frank Mir’s comments. Frank’s been with the UFC a long time, he’s a two-time heavyweight champion, and a commentator for the WEC. I think his emotions are running high right now, he has a big fight coming up next month and he’s still upset about his loss to Lesnar. He’s been talked to, he regrets what he said, and he won’t be saying anything like that again.”
Mir then issued the following statement…
“I would like to apologize to Brock Lesnar, his family, the UFC and the UFC fans for my stupid remarks. I respect Brock, all the other fighters, and the sport of mixed martial arts. I’m sorry that I stepped out of line.”
Personally I think Mir got off lightly on this one. His comments were inexcusable and indefensible and I for one have lost a lot of respect for him. Shame.
