Frank Mir Looking to Take Advantage

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir is looking to take full advantage of the unexpected championship shot that he has been given in the wake of the doping controversy that rocked the UFC. The 32 year old former undisputed champion was readying himself to take on another former champion Cain Velasquez at UFC 146 in Las Vegas on the 26^th of May before it emerged that Alistair Overeem, the number one contender for Junior Dos Santos’s Heavyweight Championship belt had failed a random dope test ahead of the UFC fight card and will not be allowed to fight at UFC 146, as per the regulations of the Nevada Athletic Commission.

This meant that Mir was the only viable option left with the UFC for the main event draw and he was duly shifted from his match against Velasquez to face off against Junior Dos Santos for the title and the 32 year old Frank Mir is looking to take full advantage of the situation.

According to the American, there are not too many chances left for him at his age and having been given this unexpected opportunity, he will look to fully capitalize on it and regain the title one more time before he calls time on his career in the ring. He also stated that a 24 or 25 year old does not think much of the future and goes about his business but having spent 10 years in the industry, he knows how it works and knows that he has not got much left in him.

He also added that he understood how precious and rare these title shots were and stated that this title shot means a bit more to him and Frank Mir is looking to bow out with a bang.

MIR A BRIGHT COMMENTATOR

Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC Heavyweight contender Frank Mir might be in line for a title shot in his next match in the promotion, but if he doesn’t manage to succeed in the ring, he has a very promising career as a commentator for the UFC, as it has been revealed over the last few UFC nights. The former champion, who looked down and out in his last match against Antonio Nogueira before making a sensational comeback to break his arm and win the match has been doing some commentating during his off time with the UFC and when one hears the way he talks about sport, it is evident that he is extremely passionate about the Mixed martial Arts form.

Although there are some strong anti-Mir groups in the promotion, even his biggest hater would not be able to say that Frank Mir doesn’t know what he is talking about. Although he has that mean and arrogant streak in him who sometimes comes out even while commentating, it still does not do any harm and although it ruffles some feathers, the positives outnumber the negatives significantly.

Having had experience of commentating with the World Extreme Cage Fighting or WEC, it is clear that Mir is extremely articulate and knows what he is talking about. Almost anyone can read a few books about jiu-jitsu or attend MMA classes but it takes someone with a lot of knowledge to explain the minute details in an interesting manner and this ability of Frank Mir to ‘info-tain’ people is something that makes him a very bright prospect for a commentating spot in the UFC after he retires from the sport.

However, until then, Mir can look forward to getting his title shot and train as hard as he can to regain what he believes is rightfully his.
