WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

Frank Mir as a commentator

Did anyone else catch Frank Mir interviewing Valencia saying it was a nice knock out win for Valencia? WTF. He tapped him. I don't think Frank has what it takes to be commentating. He is constantly stuttering and uses UM's all the time. I say get in someone else. Comments?

Mistakes? Beers? yes and yes....Mickeys FTW. Mir does not get excited like Joe Rogan IE. I would chop off my left ball and maybe the right to do what he is doing (the interviewing not the fighting)

As strictly a color analyst...he's all you could want. He knows the more technical aspects of MMA and can answer questions any fans may have and the main announcer can play off of it. Mir is fine, he's been put in a bigger role and he just needs some time to get used to it.

I think Mir is good. Maybe not the beast speaker, but he's really good at analyzing the fights in real time IMO.

I agree but his post fight interviews are a bit painful.

Agreed. Its like Frank is good off on the sidelines but then when its just him in front of the whole crowd, he tightens up.

Thank you, he is comfortable in the booth but under the lights he chokes.

Frank Mir has always been a good commentator, and he's still a good commentator. Interviewer, however, he is the drizzling shits.
