Frank Mir has the answer: Stop training with like-weight team mates

Watch Frank Mir talks Roy Nelson, Randy Couture and Ultimate Fighter 13 on RawVegas.tv

“[Roy and I] were actually in the gym together the very next morning so we kind of discussed how it was gonna go like ‘Look, there’s only so many heavyweights, I guess we’re gonna have to fight.’ I think both of us were looking forward to fighting when there was a little bit more on the line as far as one of us having a title or pushing ourselves up into a number one contender spot. It is what it is. It’s beneficial to the promoter to have two guys from Vegas fighting on their Memorial Day weekend card so I understand it and it’s business, so I gotta just go out there and fight. One lesson I learned from Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans is if there’s any heavyweights in the UFC, I’m not gonna train with them anymore. Why would you? That’s a potential opponent. If he gets any kind of advantage over you in the gym, learns a secret or knows something about an injury, that could potentially cost you a lot of money. I think in the future if guys are smart, they’ll stop training with guys in their own weight class.”
