Mir vs. Lesnar Update, UFC Fighter Looking for Title Shot
UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion
Frank Mir is talking about his training and conditioning to the Edmonton Sun as he gets ready for his big rematch against Brock Lesnar at UFC 100 on July 11th. Mir — fresh off minor knee surgery
— was at one point in his career assailed for his lack of dedication in the training room, opting to train just eight weeks out from each fight. Now, it appears that his trainers have to force him out of the gym. And the results have been evident — he is on a three-fight win streak, which includes huge victories over Lesnar and a stoppage of the legendary Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueria. Here's what Mir said to the Sun:
“If you train all the time, it’s easy to peak out and get strong. But if you just try to be a weekend warrior at this sport, it ain’t gonna happen…. After the Brandon Vera fight I just really changed everything up and decided that that’s not how I wanted to go out in my career… Our biggest argument right now is they keep trying to get me out of the gym. They’re saying right now I’m doing too many rounds, my conditioning’s at too high of a level for this far out of the fight. And now they’re starting to panic that I’m going to burn out…. My body fat percentage
is pretty obvious if you look at me right now.”
