Most respectful thing I've ever heard him say about Lesnar

[Rip_JahCraft]

Fun fact: Lesnar’s the only person to win the wwe, ufc, and ncaa championship.

P.S. 1 Year Later😂
To all the ppl trashing the wwe championship, please tell me why u haven’t won it if its so easy.

[johngladman]

Respect. He could’ve easily said he underestimated him and his fighting ability but he acknowledged him as a threat and made sure it was known. It’s a Shame that people thought Brock was basically a big strong CM Punk.

[hugonongbri]

Imagine being a pro fighter and not knowing Brock was a legit wrestler 😂🤣

[Iamevlhmr]

Frank is such an underappreciated MMA legend

[bane]

Brock is 265lbs of pure muscle. Strong as an ox and fast as a light weight, extremely explosive and overall athletic. On top of that he was 1 of the best wrestlers in America a few years before this. Why would anyone underestimate him?

[Ricardo-lsuf]

Frank was and amazing fighter that motorcycle accident really set him back I don't think he ever really recovered from so sad but I still think he's a bad ass dude.

[booradley]

UFC should hire Frank as a commentator - just a wealth of knowledge + well spoken

[StoningXStephen]

Got the privilege to talk to Frank Mir personally at a UFC event in Golden Colorado. He was very honest about the danger that he was in when Brock was mauling him. The way his eyes opened when he said that Brock was a "monster" told me all I needed to know. The fact that Frank is a very physically imposing figure on his own and is a former heavyweight champion really put things in perspective. He was definitely over selling his confidence leading up to their second fight.

[KolossusB]

Frank was always a intelligent analyst. And was a former wrestler himself. He knows how strong the discipline is skillwise, and how it develops you physically. He knew what kind of dangerous beast was in front of him that night even if Brock was inexperienced in MMA at the time.

[Prophet-tutf]

It’s a amazing what happens when you don’t take a opponent lightly. I still wonder what would’ve happened if Mazagatti hadn’t stood them up.

[DroopymkDS]

Frank seems to treat every opponent seriously. I think that's the reason he was so successful, his abilities combined with his intelligence.

[md]

If Brock went to mma straight from college....GOAT

[alexxrojas]

Stood next to frank in disneyland ...he's pretty intimidating guy...he stood outside the Pinocchio ride waiting for his family with his terminator sunglasses 😎 chillin.

[dereknez]

This was a badass fight even with how it turned out. Brock looked like a monster with his speed and wrestling then his power. I was mad for a little bit but I knew Brock was gonna do great after.this fight with an ex champ

[DIETYDIE]

imagine the pressure on both fighters at ufc 100

[brandondavidson]

Frank was the only person that actually gave lesner the respect he deserved coming up to his first fight. Like he sais everyone was just punking on lesner just because he was from the ufc

[northernjersey]

Frank Mir is a legend. I’ve always been a big fan. Pound for pound, in my opinion, the most frightening submission artist in history. I think Frank is a great guy. That said, with the exception of Jon Jones/Shogun Rua, Brock Lesnar/Frank Mir 2 may have been the most brutal ass whooping I’ve ever seen in MMA.

[johnthechosen]

Crazy to me that people who fought in the sport overlooked Lesnar as a threat. Guy was an elite amateur wrestler and was a freak athlete to boot. He was one of the best heavyweight mma fighters in the world at that time. Hell of a win for Mir

[brettash]

I've always hated when people just simply saw him as a professional wrestler
