Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir will have another chance to wear UFC gold when he steps into the cage with Junior Dos Santos later this month at UFC 146 and this week, discussed the confidence he brings to cage and why it may rub people the wrong way:

"I guess they say it because I’m so self-confident. Sometimes I think people rather see a fighter saying ‘oh Jesus, I’m so glad, I can’t believe I won, I’ve never been that good, I’m not that good.' I've never had that kinda thought, especially because I was always so focused in getting into the Octagon to compete. I fought many guys who think like that and due to my self-confidence, I get on their nerves. But those who are arrogant can’t understand themselves, they think their qualities are bigger than they really are. I, on the other hand, am only confident about what I know I can really do."
