Bellator 231: Frank Mir Explains Why He Wasn’t Happy With Rematch Against Roy Nelson - MMA Fighting

At media day for Bellator 231 and Bellator 232, heavyweight headliner Frank Mir talks about why he's not looking forward to fighting Roy Nelson again, what went wrong in his recent fights, how to address bullying, and more.

I think it was Penn who said something like "Fish swim, birds fly, and I fight."
A tiger can't change his stripes.
With that said, you've got nothing left to prove Frank. You're already a legend. Right now, you're one of the best commentators out there and there's a real gap that needs to be filled. Make the transition!
Respect as always.

Hell of a day this Saturday, UFC then Boxing on sky, then bellator.

[sportsbettingman]

Good stuff about adversity and accountability. Agreed, Frank.

[sonnyblack]

Hopefully Franks on that Jenny Craig diet for this fight...

[casxadw]

This main event shows how far behind bellator is from ufc.
I think both the guys in main event maybe have like 5 wins combined in their last 20 fight or so

[sRacing]

Mir tested positive for a turinabol metabolite.

If someone is keeping you in check and teaching you to pay more attention to how you act, It’s a good thing. Bullying for petty reasons like race, sex, political/religious views etc is low tide weak minded punk crap.

[BigBiddnezz]

Frank mir will get ko by roy first 2 min of1st round

[chapchappington]

This guys washed up. He really needs to stop if he can’t beat Roy again.

[jasongenova]

When’s the last time he had a win? Let alone a top tier win? Wait a second, bellator puts on top tier fighter fights? yeah they’re all in the minor leagues of mma.

[sbailey]

Can’t believe this man is still fighting.

[MMAetc]

Hate seeing MMA fighters way past their primes.

Frank “miricurus” mir. The modern day warrior philosopher.

I loved what he had to say about bullying and I could not have said it any better. There should be more public figures pushing this approach/ solution to bullying!

[houstondante]

Frank is so articulate he's such a breath of fresh air when he speaks I wish him nothing but the best he seems very enlightened and at peace something money can't buy

[TheHyena-rubz]

"Accountable to yourself that you can rise above the situation" Frank Mir

Those are some words of wisdom in a society that tries run and hide from the reality of life and its struggles

[Kenny-Ross]

Always good to hear Frank speak. Very intelligent, bad ass fighter, and well-spoken!

[nicholasmaher]

He better get happy. Typical Mir overthinking another fight, already convincing himself he has to stand with Nelson. His reasoning is insane.

[Rory]

weird way of making excuses lol just retire and commentate

[DathWish]

Roy is a black belt in BJJ as well, Frank
