Frank Mir vs. Frank Murr

[LouisBolanos]

A bit of old news, but I thought it's interesting. There's a clip floating around with Frank Mir calling himself "Frank Murrr" for his UFC debut against Spider Traven, the same way Lesnar used to pronounce it, and people used to wonder why:



Well, turns out Mir has been on a post-USADA depression podcast binge, and he just explained the Murr pronunciation on one of them (warning: emo):

No a funny story, Frank, a pathetic one. But, it makes sense.
