Mir Used Strikes, Conditioning, and White Lies to Top Nogueria
Posted in Fighters, MMA, News, Random, oh ish! by KChuck |Frank Mir must love Greek Mythology. Or maybe he’s seen the movie Troy (and we’re hoping it wasn’t just to watch the Brad Pitt nude scenes.)
Regardless of how he has come to know the legend of the Trojan Horse, Mir is definetly versed in the art of little white lies.
In an interview over the weekend, Mir discussed the copious amount of rumors that were surrounding his Dec. 27th bout with Antonio ‘Rodgrio’ Nogueria. For those unfamiliar with the situation, there were more rumors about Mir’s injuries than there are credible theories about who killed JFK. It turns out, however, that most of these speculations were Mir’s little white lies. In the interview, Mir explained how he was the one releasing the majority of the false rumors:
Every fighter gets injured a lot during training camps. One thing I’ve learned not to do is – I don’t really give any validity to my injuries. Some of my injuries are fake. I’ve faked a few injuries in the past but not to pull out of fights or anything. It’s just there a lot of rumors out there, and when I hear them, I help people out. That way when a real, legitimate injury goes through, people question whether I’m really hurt or not.
Brilliant. While it will never be known if these fake rumors were the Trojan Horse that made Nogueria let his guard down (our guess is probablly not), It is true that Mir did just as Greeks did to those of Troy, as he raped and pillaged Nogueria’s face with punches.
To leave you with one last thought, we’re guessing that quite a few people wished Mir could have filled them in on this tid-bit of information before they hit the betting terminal. Betting lines aside, we now know that there is no credibility to the rumors that Mir had a broken heart, a wrenched ankle, and writer’s cramp.
