UFC 111: FRANK MIR SAYS CARWIN IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN LESNAR


Despite seeming more focused on a future rematch with ufc Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir concedes that, Shane Carwin, his upcoming opponent at UFC 111, is a formidable challenge.

“I think he’s very similar to Brock Lesnar. He’s somebody that’s strong, and he’s a good wrestler. But I think that Carwin, in a lot of ways, is actually more dangerous for me.”

“Brock and Carwin are both better wrestler than I am. Most likely, they’ll both be able to take me down. Most likely, they’ll both be able to win the fight if I get stuck against the cage on my back with my head jammed up. But with that being said, with Lesnar, on my feet, I have no real anxiety about standing there and boxing. He’s knocked people over because he clubs people with his hands, but he’s not really a knockout artist. Carwin has actually knocked people out.”

“In a fight with Lesnar, the goal is to keep it on the feet, and I’ll win the fight. With Carwin, if I say just keep it on my feet and I fall asleep on him while looking for the shot, I can easily go to sleep if I get caught. He’s shown the ability to knock people out. To me, he’s a dual threat.”
