Throwback Frank Mir vs. Tank Abbott

because why not?



I'll save you guys the trouble.

I miss that Frank Mir - fast, great at scrambles. Pre-motorcycle accident.

Father time is undefeated.

Franks BJJ has always been over looked i put him above Nog....

Nog had a much better overall BJJ game, despite Mir catching him. You just couldn't imagine a prime Nog getting smashed from the guard by Freeman.

Highs n lows lol

Isn't that Tito and Randy though ?

Isn't that Tito and Randy though ?

Yes, casual detected.

Mir really grew on me over the years. He is probably one of my favorite Legacy and Lineage (his daughter) fighters.

Goldie- "he's OUT its over" ... from a toe hold

 

[tkotom]

Tank was actually winning this. He could have even escaped the guard. Mir wasn't having much success with the takedowns. Could have changed MMA history.

When was the last toe hold sub since this one?

According to wiki Mir has the only one as well as the only inside shoulder lock. Wait, my bad, it says first time subs.

Prime mir never got smashed by Freeman. Prime mir was many years later.

Prime mir never got smashed by Freeman. Prime mir was many years later.

His overall game was never as complete as Nogueira's. Throughout his career he has a history of getting absolutely demolished through his guard.

Is that Ken Shamrock as the color commentator?

yup.

Almost as bad as Tito.

what? why?

i always felt like they should've let ken commentate more, he did a pretty good job. tito literally sounds like he's having a stroke while he's talking.

Mir was a scary monster on the mat!

Lincoln Continental vs. Imperial LeBaron. Because why not.

Shame we never got to see Frank roll around with Barnett or Werdum.

Nah ... he had a better chin and cardio.

Think Nog vs Bob Sapp.
Sapp dominated Nog for most of the fight. Luckily his cardio and chin were able to hold up to get the win in later rounds. That was prime Nogs best attributes when compared to any version of Mir. Mir probably gets KO'd with those same shots Bog ate.

Beating him with a toehold was funny as fuck.
I remember thinking...he had no defense?? Lol

 

[Sickbro69420]

Has anyone else won by toe hold?

 

[StonedLemur]

Has anyone else won by toe hold?

Yes .. didn't Brock lose to a toehold vs guess who...Mir lol

 

[StonedLemur]

Has anyone else won by toe hold?

I just looked it up...I think Brock was a kneebar.
