“If you train all the time, it’s easy to peak out and get strong. But if you just try to be a weekend warrior at this sport, it ain’t gonna happen…. After the Brandon Vera fight I just really changed everything up and decided that that’s not how I wanted to go out in my career… Our biggest argument right now is they keep trying to get me out of the gym. They’re saying right now I’m doing too many rounds, my conditioning’s at too high of a level for this far out of the fight. And now they’re starting to panic that I’m going to burn out…. My body fat percentage is pretty obvious if you look at me right now.”
– UFC interim heavyweight champion Frank Mir apparently now boasts “barn-door shoulders” and “powerful piston-like legs,” according to the Edmonton Sun, as he prepares for his rematch against Brock Lesnar at UFC 100 on July 11. Mir — fresh off minor knee surgery — was at one point in his career assailed for his lack of dedication in the training room, opting to train just eight weeks out from each fight. Now, it appears that his trainers have to force him out of the gym. And the results have been evident — he is on a three-fight win streak, which includes huge victories over Lesnar and a stoppage of the legendary Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueria. His confidence and conditioning appear to be at record levels, which combined with his solid ground game and ever-improving striking arsenal, could keep the 29-year-old fighter atop the division for years to come. What say you?
