Frank Mir reveals the thing that ‘shocked’ him during Brock Lesnar fight

Frank Mir says Brock Lesnar’s speed really shocked him

After a horrendous start, Frank Mir bit down on his gumshield and found a way to victory.

Utilizing all his years of experience, the BJJ blackbelt locked in a kneebar that forced Brock Lesnar to tap.

While Mir emerged victorious, he’s candidly opened up about the element of his foe’s game that’s really hard to deal with.

During an interview on The JAXXON Podcast, the icon said: “He’s strong, but speed-wise, that’s what f—— shocked me. I remember, though, in the fight that I kneebarred him, I went to armbar him and he pulled up and I rolled to one side and I came up like in halfguard to look for him and literally the f—– was gone.

“It’s just because he planted his chest on my shoulder and spun to the other side. I was like, ‘This f—– is fast.

“For a guy that size to move that quickly, it was his speed of movement, his explosiveness that really set him apart. Being big and strong [is great], but everybody at 280 pounds is big and strong.”
