UFC 111: Frank Mir Is A “Natural Born Killer” Shane Carwin Be Careful

The Ultimate Fighting Championships will be staging it’s next big PPV event on Mar. 27 live from The Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Among other great match ups—including a welterweight championship showdown featuring Georges St Pierre putting his 170 lb title on the line against hungry British bruiser Dan Hardy—UFC 111 will also feature the big boys of the UFC.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir will square off inside the now world famous octagon with Shane Carwin to effectively settle once and for all who will become the next challenger to the heavyweight throne.

The winner will move on to face a “reincarnated Silver-Back Mountain Gorilla” who comes to us in the form of a highly decorated collegiate wrestler and the current UFC heavyweight champion named Brock Lesnar.

With the scent and taste of blood still fresh on his lips from the last time he mauled, gored, and publicly humiliated Mir—at UFC 100—the blood thirsty Lesnar now anxiously waits on the sidelines for his next opportunity to display more of his ferocious behavior against his nemesis Mir.

Mir has been very outspoken also recently, regarding his own bloodthirsty desire to get revenge on the UFC heavyweight champion.

He caused quite a stir among those “politically correct” scribes with weaker stomachs—who would be better served as figure skating reporters—when he indirectly but firmly spoke of what his “mind set” would be like if and when he ever got another chance to enter the cage with Lesnar.

We sportswriters, most times, try to be as unbiased as possible, but I will admit that I’ve been a fan of Mir since watching his amazing standing arm-bar submission over Tim Sylvia at UFC 48, a move that visually snapped the large bone in Sylvia’s forearm.

Yes thats right, I liked it.

Sylvia, another huge fighter at 6′8″, 250 pounds, not unlike Lesnar, was also a dominant UFC champion at the time, but he had recently been stripped of the title for failing a random drug test.

The audible screams of stop ! stop ! stop !from referee Herb Dean could be clearly hear above the roar of the crowd as Sylvia’s arm was bent into a grotesque pretzel and snapped in half by the merciless new champion Mir.

This was the first evidence that Mir was nobody to mess with from the BJJ guard position, and if it weren’t for his career being interrupted by a potentially crippling motorcycle accident, he would have undoubtedly been a dominant champion even back then.

Since that fight at UFC 48 on June 19/04, Mir has proven it was no fluke by tapping out Lesnar at UFC 87, knocking out Minotauro Nogueira at UFC 92.

Most recently, Mir sent the masterful French kickboxer Cheick Kongo to “never, never land” with a perfectly executed guillotine choke at UFC 107.

To borrow a line from the greatest heavyweight boxer who ever lived, Muhammad Ali, “Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision.”

The greatest heavyweight boxer of all time could have easily been describing a former mixed martial arts champion, such as Mir, who has certainly demonstrated rare human qualities—not only in his career, but also in his life.

Life skills which are extremely hard to come by, such as honor, integrity, courage, and a tremendous amount of pride.

Its highly unfortunate that warrior such as Mir has had his words twisted by pathetic so called sports writers , who’s only aim is to garner more reads to their website, or moire hits to a article which is filled with sensationalism, and blatant fallacy’s.

Trilogies in fight sports are extremely rare and popular, so, if Mir beats Carwin impressively, he may just find himself locked into another rubber-match of sorts between himself and the vicious behemoth.

Until then forgive me while I enjoy and take pleasure in watching this fabulous historic arm-bar submission; one in which Sylvia could have stopped at any time, but unfortunately chose to try and pullout of.

Good luck to all our cage fighting heroes, they deserve the highest respect from us.

We are merely keyboard warriors, or couch potato scribes, who only wish we had their courage and intestinal fortitude.
