Mir: I train to break bones
Frank Mir: “I know we have a referee in there and there’s a point system, but this is fighting. This is me trying to dismember you and trying to hurt you…”
Frank Mir’s next fight will be against Todd Duffee, who has had some choices word for the former champion in the media. But Mir warns that Duffee should be careful because he isn’t out to win a fight, he’s coming to ‘break bones and put people unconscious.’
It kind of brings you back to the fact of, I train to break bones and put people unconscious, Mir said. At the end of the day, I know we have a referee in there and there’s a point system, but this is fighting. This is me trying to dismember you and trying to hurt you and trying to completely crush the person in front of me.
When Duffee says some of the things he’s said, it reminds me that I need to practice going for that armbar and adjust that position and hold there. Instead of thinking what the judges are going to think for this fight, I’ve been going in thinking I don’t really care what the judges say, about being on top or being in this position. I’m going for broke, and I want to make sure that this might be his last fight, that he’s unhealthy afterward.
