Mir is usually a model of sportsmanship and a fighter who embodies the best aspects of the martial arts mentality. If he went too far in explaining his motivation for a third fight with Lesnar, he was far from the first person affiliated with the UFC to do so.
“I’m gonna murder him. I count the days and nights before I get to do that.”
Brock Lesnar to Mir
“Georges, I’m going to go to the death. I’m going to try to kill you and I’m not joking about this.”
BJ to GSP
“I consider you a master, and it’s time to kill that master.”
Kenny Florian to BJ
“I’m gonna try to kill him.”
Chuck Liddell on Tito Ortiz
“I’m gonna beat you into a living death”
Ken Shamrock, also to Tito Ortiz, curiously
“He is going to have to kill me, and I will have to kill him to beat him out there, and that’s what we’ll do to each other.”
Cain Velasquez on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
“I want to fight Lesnar. I hate who he is as a person. I want to break his neck in the ring. I want him to be the first person that dies due to Octagon-related injuries. That’s what’s going through my mind.”
Frank Mir on Brock Lesnar
