    Wow, Frank Mir wants to face Brock Lesnar again more than we realized. The two-time UFC heavyweight champion (and two-time Lesnar adversary) recently told The Chronicle Journal that he is “not opposed to the idea” of becoming a professional wrestler, although he did clarify that he “can’t do a back flip or anything.”

    Mir has never kept secret the fact that he wants revenge on Lesnar for the beating he took at Brock’s hands in their rematch. With Lesnar back in the WWE, maybe Mir realizes that his only chance at getting his paws on Brock again is for the two of them to work together in a squared circle.

    But could Mir really be trusted to stick to the script and work collaboratively with his nemesis, should they meet up in the WWE? Daniel Puder taught us that MMA fighters can’t always be trusted to make pro wrestling superstars look good in the ring.

    I’m smelling a screw job plan from Mir. Think, F-5 reversal into a rolling heel-hook for the tap. Then again, maybe Brock has enough new protective gear to keep him safe.


    LOL @ Mir. Gimp.

    Maybe Mir has realized the chances of him winning another UFC belt are slim to none so he might as well try wrastling.

    I like Mir. I hope he goes into commentating, guest analyst etc He is the most articulate fighter in MMA, it would be a shame to go to waste. Don't think he has ever done an interview that I haven't watched from start to finish.

    Do some of these guys realize that it takes alot to be a pro wrestler?

    They think they can just walk in and do it. LOL

    Probably wants to one up Lesnar who went from razzling to MMA and succeed.

    Mir wants to do the opposite.

    I read that Mike Tyson, Tito Ortiz and now Frank Mir wanna be in the WWE.

    Bobby Lashley has went back to wrestling and is on scrub organization cards. Hed like to get back to the WWE.

    It seems pro wrestlers make a more money than cage fighters.
