Frank Mir is not lacking confidence going into UFC 100 against Brock Lesnar when he will attempt to unify the Heavyweight title. We all know that Mir can submit Brock Lesnar, we saw that at UFC 81 over a year ago.
Mir spoke to The Las Vegas Sun in a recent open workout and said that he knows Brock Lesnar is already worried about him.
“I think Brock knows enough that he’s already worried. If I say anymore, I might not get him in the cage,” said the Bonanza High grad, sporting a fresh shiner over his right eye courtesy of an inadvertent Forrest Griffin head butt.
“I might as well try to boost up his confidence so he shows up on the 11th and I can get paid.”
While Mir is confident, he also admits that he cannot come into the fight too “Cocky” or he will get knocked out at UFC 100 by Lesnar.
“Anybody that size that gets behind a punch and sits down on it can catch me on the chin. If I’m cocky and put my hands down, obviously it will be a short night for me and I can go home and cry about it later,” said Mir of Lesnar.”
Mir also said that he has improved more than the Heavyweight champion and at UFC 100 no matter where the fight goes he will be able to finish him.
“The fighter I was then compared to the fighter I am now is leaps and bounds,” Mir said. “If he chooses to stand up, I’ll knock him out. If he chooses to take me down, I’ll submit him.”
