sorry for the double post but Frank Mir 262?? crazy

[Tystick357]

At first I thought it was crazy, but wasn't he 257 @ UFC 57?

[Tystick357]

Well I mean it's still bad going up in weight like that.

I already was picking Christison in this fight. With the rumors of him being kicked out of LVCC and not training hard+an up in weight, Dan's chances are going up more in my book.

[BDunn]

Is it safe to say we will never see Mir champion again or atleast for awhile?

[Tystick357]

Honestly? I don't think he'll ever be champ again. And I'm not bashing him, but besides the arm break on Sylvia he really didn't beat that many good guys.

Although I disagree with people saying he'll be the next Ricco and move up to 300lbs.

[BDunn]

why did Ricco do that?? and rumor was that Mir got kicked out of his gym for not training dont now if its true though

[Tystick357]

He didn't choose to, it's more like he just physically and mentally let himself go after some tough defeats. (Sylvia, Nog, Rizzo)

At least I think that's once his downturn began. I don't remember the exact time for sure.

[BDunn]

Ya i saw him in i think Titos corner and was like was that Ricco lol
