Mir has been TKOd quite a number of times. He reacts terribly to strikes. Not quite as bad as Brock Lesnar but he checks out quite a lot and just freezes until the referee saves him. This is the guy who says tapping to strikes is dishonourable.

Discuss.

Forgot how awesome Vera used to look. What a waste of talent.

Mir always had no durability, or much heart it seems.

But to be fair, he did get hit by sledgehammers.

Feed him to Kharitonov next.
 
JDS did the same thing against Stipe. You could clearly delineate when he broke.

If I had been punched by all these HW fighters for years. I would probably not like it much either.
 
Then he goes and shows tons of heart vs Big Nog in the rematch...
 
Carwin was a KO and so was Hunt. Hunt KO was less intense than Carwin mir looked like he was already ko like 7 or 10 seconds before the fight stopped. Carwin is basically pounding on a knocked out mir it look like


but Mir has good chin i guess he just cannot or rarely ever comes back from a beating and seem to have the brock or arlovski treatement where if he hurt he will get tko. Not run like brock but will likely get tko.
 
That Hunt finish is one of the best ever, takes a look, shakes his head thinking... nah your done bro.
 
mir has fought threw plenty enough bad situations thats its weird when people say he mentally folds
 
Yeah, it's called getting knocked out, bud.

Not all them. A lot of them look like quitting without tapping. It's like bear defence tactics. When a bear is attacking you you have to play dead to get it to stop.
 
Turtling is manlier than tapping. Unspoken rule according to Frankenturtle.
 
That Carwin KO brings me so much joy every time I see it.

It was the first time I picked against Carwin, and I felt I was soooo educated. I had introduced all my buddies to Carwin, and they fell in love with his style and power, and I shocked them when I picked Mir for this fight. I thought Mir would grapple / gas him out, and they all laughed saying Mir would get KO'd. I tried to brush it off as being the more learned fan, and explained to them I knew more about the fighters, etc.

Yeah, well. Mir got brutally fucking KO'd.
 
I don't understand this post.

Mir has rallied back from being knocked around more than once.

Off the top of my head...

Brock was wasting him in their first meeting before Mir caught him in a knee bar.

Nog was working him over in their rematch before Mir managed to get a good position on the ground and snap his arm.
 
And Mir had a terrible motorcycle accident. He was easily 10X more damaged than Fedor and he still chose to brawl. Some things never change...
 
To be fair, Mir is a heavyweight. He has been fighting heavyweights. Heavyweights hit hard. TS, if you got hit by any of the above guys, you would mentally check out too. When you get rocked badly enough, you don't generally have a ton of control over what you're doing.

Mir is tough. He's battled through plenty of adversity in his career as a fighter. I don't think he reacts poorly to strikes, I think the guys doing the striking in your gif selections are dangerous and have done worse to other fighters. Not everybody takes a shot like Hunt, but as tough as he is, even Hunt has been knocked out several times. Shit happens, specifically at hw.

Has he actually been knocked out?

He's tougher than he gets credit for
