Mir and Barnett discuss their relationship

Frank Mir and Josh Barnett talk UFC 164 with Ariel Helwani.

[haftir]

Nick diaz is right about Ariel, he instigates fights. And where Nick Diaz comes from, people like that get slapped

[TruththeRealist]

F’n legends! Goosebumps from just them standing there near one another!

[Targetdummy]

Does Ariel actually do any reporting any more, or is he just a trash talking conduit?

[kallepikku]

Barnett hold Mir in a classical Catch wrestling Quarter Nelson to land that big knee to head of Mir and finish the fight. Great display of stand-up wrestling.

Ariel "The Instigator" Helwani

[zenares]

He really is! I got to meet him back in 2006 at one of my amateur fights, he also cornered my brother, and the dude is cool as ice. Great guy...happy to see him back in the UFC.

[housecarl]

Two intelligent articulate guys, a credit to the UFC organisation.

[CRCfail]

At the end there, Josh said he "loosened the jar" on Big Nog so that Mir could beat him. Watch Mir's reaction when he says he was Nog's tenderizer

[poulio]

UFC is shooting themselves in the foot with Mir v Overeem, both talented seasoned guys in a loser leaves town fight. In an already shallow heavyweight division they need all the guys like Mir or Overeem they can get.

[dilleycurtis]

Two legends. We need a 2 though. That stoppage was kinda weak.

[AXharoth]

u can feel their pride fight in the air

[plasticboy]

one of the coolest guys ever. i think so too

[LenSengoku]

yea, that was definitely a mistake noguiera made. it's crazy those mistakes mir took advantage of and ending up winning both of their fights. all the credit to him for doing what no one has ever done, but noguiera really made a mistake too. donno what he was thinking

[Takedown-Tate]

Its a good thing for mir to be trainning with the Jackson camp

[LenSengoku]

when.. ? u gotta understand too the ufc interviewers are not being heard either, and u should know they try to stir shit up as much as they can. josh handled it well, and didn't let any bullshit get to his head. he has class and he's above all that crap and nonsense as you can clearly see here.

[jigsaw]

no way. Mir is lucky ref saved him from for certain retirement. It would of been Carwin/Mir all over again. Barnett is a catch wrestler who will punch till he gets pulled off and not go for subs like Nog when he has someone hurt.

[darvlaskie]

One thing that Barnett showed in his fight with Mir is experience

[omarcorrea]

Instigating as usual. Never like these two on one interviews.

[Bakke]

They will always make it look like two people hate each other in the countdown. It might not always be like that in real life.

[obaidCarkey]

their fighting styles look alike a lot!
