Frank Mirs place in history

[bjpenngoat]

is he a top 10 hw all time?

I have him at 12, make an case for top 10 if you think he is.

Fedor
Werdum
Nog
JDS
CAin
Crocop
Barnett
Coleman
RAndy
Reem
Andrei
Mir??

 

[leatherneck]

the 17th best HW, who won some nice fights he wasn't supposed to and lasted longer than most.

 

[Lanx]

Hunt gonna make him history soon!

 

[KB Warrior]

Right behind Royce

 

[wilKO]

Borderline top 10 HW of all time. Lost a lot of good potential wins due to horrible injury.

 

[Non]

I'd say he's a top ten definitely.

 

[DIRTYCOP]

Anyone remember Frank Mur?

 

[NotSoSure]

I think MMA rankings need to have sub-categories. A guy who is an absolute master of a craft deserves some accolades for it.

And in the HW division, the three BJJ masters are Werdum, Mir and Big Nog IMO. I see Mir inferior only to Werdum in BJJ.

Dude he's top ten hall of fame for sure...ahead of jds and Cain imo

 

[Taric]

There's Fedor, Nogueira, Werdum, and everyone else when talking about HW.

The 4-10 guys are all interchangeable.

 

[LLD2008]

Frank Mir is cool, I will never forget that nasty Big Nog arm break

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Definitely would have been top 10 but riding motorcycles ruined that. He's the Shawn Kemp of mma. Really good but soon to be forgotten.

 

[Burning Hammer]

Igor Vovchanchyn has to be in there some where too. People talk about resumes but don't really understand early MMA. It wasn't about the UFC it was just about dudes fighting. I'd put Igor in top 10 before Mir.

Cain's already had the better career despite not being around as long.

Mir??

Who?

 

[KONE]

Pioneer of the sport and two time champ with some of the most iconic submissions in UFC history.

He's a hall of famer IMO.

 

[Tormund]

If Mir is 12 then Brock is 11, I truly think Brock could have been a perennial top 5 guy if not for diverticulitis.

Mir and Lesnar are 1-1. Frank has 18 victories. Brock has 5.

 

[Tormund]

Mir and Lesnar are 1-1. Frank has 18 victories. Brock has 5.

Brock was beating the shit out of Mir for 75 seconds in his 2nd ever MMA fight then beat him decisively in their 2nd fight, if that's not impressive I don't know what is.

I wouldnt have Coleman or Couture on that list at all. Mir is definitely top 10 though. I would leave the list as it is just taking out Coleman and Couture and have Mir as #10
