Frank Mir does not want to see Brock Lesnar leave the cage.The former heavyweight champion said he hopes the ailing champion gets well soon.
Why? He's obsessed with a rematch.
"That's pretty much been my driving focus to go to the gym every day, to change myself and grow as a fighter," Mir said at a Q and A session for the WEC on Tuesday.
Lesnar was hospitalized last week and diagnosed with a bacterial infection of his intestines -- a local news affiliate in Minnesota called it a severe case of diverticulitis, a digestive disease in the large intestine -- prompting the indefinite delay of a title bout with Shane Carwin.
UFC president Dana White on Monday told TMZ that Lesnar might never fight again but appeared to back off those comments in subsequent interviews, saying the champion's fate depended on the severity of the condition.
If Lesnar was out for good, Mir said it didn't matter that his prospects in the division improved.
"To know that there's a possibility that (a rematch) might never happen, that's been taking me a couple of days to try and wrap my mind around," he said.
"It's going to give me a hard time."

I want to see the rematch. This time though, crank that knee a bit harder!!!
Once again Mir shows why he's such a douche...
I just can't believe some of the shit that comes out of Frank's mouth.
"I am a martial artist who grows like the bonsai tree in the heart of men while they are sleeping and I shall improve as a martial artist because at the end of the day the spirit shall transcend my soul."
And this is the guy who thinks Fedor is afraid of him. Mir is NOT even in Fedor's radar. Fedor cares about Brock but not Mir.
Once again, article shows why Mir is a 2nd rate fighter. His goal in life is to beat Brock. Fedor doesn't have to do this because he already built a legacy. Mir has no legacy and will continue to make chump change until he gets KTFO by Kongo, leaves the UFC to cash in with Strikeforce and get pwned by Brett Rogers.
By no means am i a Brock fan, but Mir is a moron!! Why would he even open his mouth now? Lesnar is ill, let the men heal and wish him well if you are such a "Martial Artist"
He beat you down 2 times!!! Yeah you snuck in a sub the first time, but clearly he is dominant. Just train and shut up Frank!! Is not like it was the first time you got beat up....Ian Freeman,Marcio Cruz and Brandon Vera all smashed you!!!
yeah, I don't know why Mir wants to get his face fucked up again...is his memory really that bad? well, he did think he had Brock in trouble in the second fight...I do hope he gets his wish and gets another rematch with Brock, because I love to see Frank Mir get the shit kicked out of him
Your all idiots... he wants him to heal. All of you are talking like Frank Mir put a curse on him or something...
No, Frank didn't curse him, he just found a way to turn Brock's illness into a story that's all about himself somehow. Why did no one think about how horribly this could have affected Frank!? The guy is a loser and needs to lose the perm.
Dear Diesel:
This is exactly what I think too.
Frank is trying to convey a typical Mir-wisdom. It can be translated the following:
"Although I have personal issues with Brock I refuse to make it personal because I am a martial artist that sends good messages to kids of our generation. Therefore, despite the fact that I should feel glad that Brock is sick, since I am such a MARTIAL ARTIST, I don't see it that way. Rather, I want Brock to heal 200% so that next time I beat him I will be remembered forever as a MARTIAL ARTIST. And despite the fact that I have horrible records, as a MARTIAL ARTIST I genuinely have faith that I will improve as a MARTIAL ARTIST and beat Brock."
A complete farce. Mir brought this on himself by saying a lot of shit in the past several months. Shit like,
"I destroyed Nog and Nog cowardly blames staph."
"I have some viciousness in the way I fight..wink wink..putting steal plates in my opponent's arms"
"I can beat Fedor"
"Fedor is afraid of me"
"Brock and I are 1-1 and I will not let him take advantage of my weaknesses"
"I am technically better than Brock"
"Nog has no head movement and I am an elite striker"
"I think it's sad that Nog is finding excuses"
"Fedor is pathetic."
"I will end Brock's Career"
Just STOP Franky. Worry about your next opponent who will likely knock you out.
"He wants him to heal"
You must have an IQ of a 5 year-old to infer "he wants him to heal" from that article. Wow!
Frank always has ulterior agendas when he starts mumbling on. It is either a) he is an elite fighter, b) he is a martial artist, c) he trains harder than anybody or d) he can beat Brock in a rubber match.
Honestly i would not be suprise if Kongo beats him. He is so busy running his mouth about Brock and Fedor that he is forgetting that Kongo is pretty tough.
Oh come off the Mir bashing. Do you think there would be an article to write if Mir told the reporter "Brock's awesome and I wish him a full recovery. That's it!" It's called marketing yourself and all fight organizations and publications encourage it. Is Mir egotistical? Sure! You have to be self-confident. While he may (or may not) be truly obsessed with Lesnar, he HAS to convey that sentiment. Why? Because Lesnar holds the belt and made Frank look really bad in their last fight. If any of you would say something different, you really don't know much about marketing your own brand.
It seems to me like he's constantly marketing himself then if you say that's the reason for him being a loser. I think fans enjoy it much more when a fighter lets his gaurd down and shows some real emotions or weakness. The fans can relate to that and end up supporting the fighter more. If you read the comments, most people don't want to see Mir fight, so his "being a dip sh*t for the sake of promoting" mentality isn't working.
There's a crap load of wrestling fans posting here and you all need to STFU already about Mir ........ sheesh you wannbeeees aka keyboard warriors and one of you claims to actually be a Martial Artist post shit on here time and time again.
Enough already ....... Lesnar get well cause a beating awaits from someone eventually ...... cause everyone loses EVENTUALLY.
Why hasnt fedor lost douchebag?
LOL so you have to be a "rasslin" fan to feel empathy for Brock's unfortunate situation? Some of you MMA elitists need to look up the history of MMA, which evolved from pro wrestling in Japan back in the early 90s.
Anonymous & Diesel -
Don't you think it's admiral that Frank Mir wants to challenge himself against the best the division has to offer instead of being "handed" a belt?
Don't hate cause all the girls want to fuck Frank Mir and not you.
i hope the loud mouth asshole doesnt come back. hes a classless cock.hes nobody i care to see fight and fuck fedor to he didnt want to come to the ufc because he couldnt make it...
not on fedors level?! what a freakin idot first off brett rodgers is a second rate fighter, and it still took fedor two rounds.what rodgers only threw like 12 punches in two rounds.oh wait how do heavy waits from pide do in the ufc that right they get the shit beat out of them!unless its a feeder fighter.fedor woudnt make it past dos santos let alone mir.f#$% fedor last emperor my a$$
People like Gabe are the ones that give our sport a bad name. Is terrible to have uneducated MMA wannabees posting on here. Brett Rogers is a second rate fighter? You are a MORON!!! He was undefeated and the Pit Bull lasted 8 seconds with him. He lasted longer then most of Fedors opponets, including TIm Sylvia.
Kea - You'd want to f*ck me too if you saw me. As for Mir, what are you talking about "Being handed a belt"??? Mir will never fight for or win the tile again. He caught a win of a newbie Brock and a Nog with staph infection. He's not winning his way back to the belt. That being said, yes I do find it admirable that he's motivated to win it again, I just found it funny that when they aseked him about Brock's illness Frank somehow made the answer all about himself.
yeah iknow a staff infection it was so bad he was cleared to fight right.let me guess your gonna say he hid it. funny wen alrlovski hid his injurys in the third fight with sylvia vegas ath had a inquiry.just not now i guess he made a fucking excuess.now as far as the ball less wonder who wouldnt even give his name anonymousss you fucking mongaloide i started ufc true but i also watch dream, king of the cage,pride(wen it was around)elite xc(wen it was around trash by the way)cage rage wec and sengoku.no i havent seen bellator yet but theres always one thing the best mma talent always ends up in the ufc. the only reason you know arlovski and sylvia is because of the ufc.plus tim wasnt good since he was on juice he was done long before he fought fedor and we all knew arlovski had a glassjaw since rizzo so dont give me brett rodgers was a good fighter shit.maybe you should watch some mma before you type about it.

Why are these UFC Noobs so easily brain washed by Dana White?
Dana Before Sylvia fights Fedor:
He refuses to make predictions. Says Randy Couture would destroy Fedor. But refuses to say Sylvia would destroy Fedor.
Dana immediately after Fedor fight:
"Yeah, that was impressive. He fought a real opponent."
Dana few months after:
I am happy the Fedor destroyed Tim Sylvia. Sylvia has been stinking up the HW division for years now. That is why we "kicked" him out of UFC.
Dana before the Arlovski fight:
"We never had issues with AA. I still like the guy and would want to him come back to the UFC." However, Dana again refused to predict that AA would destroy Fedor.
Dana after the AA fight:
"Look, AA and Sylvia were knocking each other out. Win over them means nothing because they are washed up UFC fighters."
Dana before the Rogers fight:
Rogers sucks and the funny thing is Fedor could get knocked out. But again, he refuses to make predictions.
Dana after the Rogers fight:
"just imagine what Cain, Shane, Mir, and Brock would do to Rogers. Fedor struggled against 2nd rate fighter and got his face smashed in while doing it."
Dana is a clown and so are you for hugging his nuts.
Gabe the reason i dont post my name is because i am at work. Ok so i give it to you that you are an MMA fan.I suggest you check out Bellator, is like a faster pace WEC. I still think Brett Rogers can bang with anyone!! Fedor is a stud and so is Brock. In the game of MMA anyone and everyone will get beat. As for the other dude bashing on Dana....Get over it!!!! That guy is the Godfather and he is protected by the Fertitta brothers who own Vegas!! He has made the UFC and MMA famous, so dont hate on him, thank him for making the sport what it is.
yep...stop bashing Dana...so you were mad that Dana wouldn't predict AA or sylvia would beat Fedor...why the hell would he? as he said, they were washed up UFC fighters...and he's right, they both stink...and he's right about Fedor havin a tough time against a second rate fighter...you don't have to be on Dana's nuts to realize these things...maybe YOU should quit huggin Fedor's nuts so tightly...and without Dana White, the UFC would still be a circus act
Dana is the Godfather and Fertittas own Vegas..
LOL! You are a faggot.
Fertittas have one of the smallest casinos in Vegas. Have you even been to vegas?
Dana is the Godfather of MMA? Compared to you, he would be Godfather of everything...even your dad.
do you own a casino?! no than shut the fuck up.first off fedor fights alot of bullshit fights like hong man choi,mark coleman at 41 matt lindland who we all know is 2 wieght classes smaller ,crocop which i dont care what anyone says he was over rated if you dont believe me watch some of his k 1 fights or you can keep rewinding the gonzaga fight.heath herring need i say more.as far as white goes i could give a shit about his fight pics and i did lose a lot of respect for him wen he brought in kimbo but i do see the method behind the madness he just want to draw more people in. and for that i cant hate the guy. oh yea in closeing fedor sucks
Lived in Vegas for 2 years!!! You want to bring my dad into this? He has rested for 15 years now. How old are you? I admire Dana and the Fertittas for the Business practices they have and their acomplishments, call it what you want, they provide to the sport that we all love.
fedor will beat mir. isnt nog considered one of the best HW. Fedor beat him. Cro cop gave nog a beating til he got caught in an arm bar. watch more fights please.
i think all of you are pretty stupid. "Frank mir is a douche..." "fedor Sucks" first of frank mir was a machine before the wreck, his come back story is phenomenal. Fedor is a machine, little wacky that he didnt take the offer to fight in ufc but no doubt he is the real deal. Kimbo, man quit hating, the guy is trying to learn and when youve done nothing but street fight your entire life this sport is extremely tough. Its ok to dislike but quit being disrespectful. cause lord knows you wouldnt make those comments to none of those guys faces includeing kimbos. You bunch of little pansy ass biatches!
